Lions will sit down with lambs tomorrow afternoon when interventionists and non-interventionists assemble in the Lowell House Common Room at 2 o'clock to discuss the organization of a college council on post-war peace. The meeting is open to both students and faculty.
According to Joseph P. Lyford '41, member of last year's Student Council who is sponsoring the organization, the general objective of such 5 group will be to foster student discussion of war aims and post-war peace organization.
National Organization
Tommorrow's meeting will be given over to a presentation by Lyford of the more specific purpose of the group, followed by the election of temporary officers.
The Harvard organization is expected to be the first unit of a national college association devoted to non-partisan discussion and study of foreign problems that must be faced by the United States after the close of World War II.
Lyford stated last night that financial support of a "disinterested nature," to be used do support a national newspaper for such a movement, would be forthcoming if the movement is launched successfully on a national scale.
National College Paper
Such a paper would be composed of contributions from college students, reflecting opposite points of view on the same specific problem.
"Anyone sincerely interested in answering in his own mind some of the questions that have arisen with regard to America's relationship to the World War and any subsequent peace settlement is especially welcome at this meeting," Lyford said.
Lyford suggested that, although some students now comfortably ensconced in luxurious houses might regard such an organization as "merely academic," there are "plenty of men in army camps to whom an idealistic objective is getting more and more important."
