The proposed magazine will be on the order of quarterly editions published at other universities and: will be principally literary. It will j be a publication by and for the stu-1 dent body, according to. Paul Laufer, member of the student editorial board in-charge.

Contributions to . the magazine will be welcomed at all times from the students, faculty, alumni, trustees, and friends. "Every: article," said Laufer, "will be judged strictly on merit as eyery story when edited will contain no identification as to the author. The names of the writers will- be removed when.the articles are, given to Charles Johnston, who will be our receiving secretary." The editorial board consists ; of nine students: Robert Adams, Truman Botts, Norman Abbott, Alice McLaughlin, Williard Anderson, Frances ; Ogilvie, Sara Elizabeth Clark, M. J. Bouterse, and Laufer, "The magazine," continued Laufer, "has not as yet been named but this will be taken care of in the near future. This year only, one or possibly two editions will be published .They will act as a tryout and if accepted by, the students will become permanent." The price will be decided iri the next meeting- of the committee. There has been no definite date set marked that it would probably be for the first edition but Laufer re- about the latter part of April. President W. S.

COLTON FHIlEfOfMKiS Forttm Lecturer Outlines Various Types of National Upheaval A revolutionary lecture" was heard in Monday's Forum as- Dr. Ethan'T. Colton expounded Four Patterns of Revolutions. Introduced by Dr. W. S. Allen, the speaker proved to be an authority on the national upheavals of Russia, Italy, Germany and the United States. ■',-•'' The lecturer' of the eleventh Forum next Monday, Mr. Sherwood Eddy, will also treat of current world events in the topic: The Meaning of the Present -World Situation. Mr, Eddy is a well- known student of international affairs as well as an author of distinction. In chronological order, Communist Russia, Fascist Italy, Nazi Germany and the New Deal in the United States as topics made a naturally contrasted expository series. Of the ruling Communists, Dr. Colton's most earnest plea was that they were all perfectly sincere in their wish to give the masses of the people a better chance: Of Italy, he declared that, its Fascism was a form, of nationalism and not, as is many times argued, merely a solution to an economic problem. The speaker, perhaps pressed by time, made his remarks about the New Deal extremely short. His last injunction was a warning to the people to keep their power in their own hands, a social control, itself reasonably controlled.
