AVC to Consider
Red Resolution
This Evening
The local AVC chapter will meet
tonight at 7:30 o'clock in the Pres
byterian church in its first special
session of the quarter to reconsider
a resolution of the general AVC Na
tional Planning Committee condemn
ing communism and the attempts of
communist party members to disrupt
AVC.
This special meeting was approved !
majority out oi tne
27 members present registered its dis
approval of the resolution. The chap
ter has a total membership of about
80 veterans. The executive commit
tee felt the question was of such im
portance that it would be necessary
to give the remaining two-thirds of
, the membership an opportunity to
register its opinion.
Explaining the disapproval of 16
out of 27 members, the executive
committee said "this vote reflected
the fear of most liberal organizations
of the inevitability of a witch-hunt
if the question of communism was
opened as the term communist has
been distorted in meaning at will."
Chapter Chairman Winston Broad
foot has urged all members to at
tend tonight's meeting and vote on
the resolution that is most important
to the organization s existence.

tion lecture of the academic year.

an absence of seven years as Archi
vist of the United States in Wash
