FIRST H. L. U. FORUM TO FEATURE HANSEN

With the announcement last Saturday of a series of four forums on the general topic "American Transition to Peace," the Harvard Liberal Union formally reentered the lists of University organizations competing for the favor of the socially minded student.

The first of the four forums will be held tonight when Alvin H. Hansen, Lucius N. Littauer Professor of Political Economy, will give the Keynesian view of full production and full employment in the post-war world. The forum will be broadcast over the Crimson Network.

Current officers of the HLU are Don S. Willner '47 as chairman and Irwin Leff '47 as secretary. The group is awaiting more complete organization before it chooses an executive policy-making committee.

Links with the old organization which closed down supposedly for the duration in the spring of last year include Thomas S. Kuhn '44, research associate, and Donor Lion '45, adviser and liaison officer of new group respectively.

The Harvard Liberal Union was founded late in 1940 as a protest against the isolationist attitude taken by the Harvard Student's Union, pursuant to the national attitude of the American Student's Union, which fell in with the Communist "Imperialist war' publicity.

In its original form, the Harvard Liberal Union aided liberal groups in local and national elections, in addition to holding the usual forums and working in study groups.
