"I am afraid that we are now at, the point of payoff for a quarter of a century of neglect of study of fundamentals," he said. Purks said this "appropria tion" was not unreasonable.

STU'T GOVERNMENT AGENCY The Carolina Speakers Forum is an official student government ag ency for the presentation to the campus speakers of international fame. It is a descendant of the Campus Political Union which had its beginning here about twenty live years ago. Its function was to present to the University panel dis cussions, debates and speakers. Among its guests were the late President Franklin Delano Roose velt and William Howard Taft ilarry S. Truman spoke here in 1943 under the sponsorship of the CPU when he was the Senator from Missouri. FORMED IN 1949 In 1949 the Student Government formed the Carolina Speakers Fo um to choose and present different speakers to the University. Funds re provided for it by the Student Government. Each winter a hundred or so in vitations are sent out to likely can didates to speak here. From those peakers who accept the offer are chosen the speakers for the tol ;0winjj year. These final arrange nents are usually made in person vhich requires the chairman of the Forum to travel to New York. Washington or wherever the speak er can be contacted. Already this year the Carolina Speaker's Forum has presented Molhngton K. Tong, Nationalist Chinese Ambassador to the United States. Its planned , speakers this year include Sen. Paul Douglas, Vice-President Richard M. Nixon, nd Walter P. Reuther, president of the CIO.
