STUDENTS INTERESTED IN
A. S. U. TO MEET TODAY
Will Discuss Union's Program of
Peace, Economic Security, Equality
and Self-Expression.
STUDENTS AND OTHERS IN GROUP
A group of students interested in the
problems of America will meet this
afternoon in the Student Affairs hut
to discuss flic possibility of afliliating
with the American Student Union.
Guilfordian members of the organiza
tion, which has been meeting infor
mally for some weeks, are Charlotte
Parker, Jynette Lnltosa. Milton Ander
son, Uutli Hopkins, Flora Huffman,
Thornton Conrow, and Joe Carter. Also
interested are Mrs. Harry Wallace and
Mrs. Hard Lcgatl, of Greensboro, and
Fred Myers and Miss Jones, of ('lmpel
Hill.
The American Student Union is a
non-part ban, non-political organization
of students with a four-fold program:
peace, economic security, equality, and
self-expression. The motivating idea
of the organization is to make possible
a nationally organized program for the
united students of the nation's cam
puses who are interested in active par
ticipation in the struggle for real
democracy.
The A. S. U. originated with the
amalgamation of the Student League
for Industrial Democracy and the Na
tional Student League, in December
1035. Since that time It has carried on
an active program for peace. Outstand
ing among its activities lias been the
student strike against war which lias
been conducted during the month of
April for the last four years. Uegin
ning with 25,000 students in 1035 the
student strike grew to a million par
ticipants last year.
In the field of economic security the
Union has taken action for the passage
of the American Youth Act, which pro
vides for an extended system of Fed
eral aid to American youth, both to
those in schools and to those who are
unemployed. Tile A. S. U. lias also con
cerned itself with establishing student
cooperatives on many campuses, both
independently and in cooperation with
other groups.

JUNIOR CLASS PLANS
PRESENTATION OF PLAY

Saunders, Chosen by
Class of \l9.
Spawned in the storm of incoherent
pros and cons that erupted in last
Monday night's meeting of the
Dramatic council, J.vnette I.u Rosa's
new braiK-cliild is rapidly taking the
form of a three-act, double-barrelled,
blood-and-t bunder melodrama of the
old school. Designed to promulgate
sub-zero chills up and down the col
lective spine of the student body (and
incidentally to raise money for the
erection of the new gym) the play,
Allen Saunders' "Three Taps at
Twelve" promises to dish up a melo
dramatic hash of heart-throbs and
gore. Scheduled to come off on the
night of February 2. the play will be
directed by Milton Anderson and will
Include in lis cast Hiehard Earle,
George Wilson, Jynette I,a liosa. Petty
