Meeting in Washington's Willard Hotel simultaneously with the newly-formed liberal organization, Americans for Democratic Action, 154 students from 44 colleges and schools from all parts of the nation organized Students for Democratic Action, a national liberal student body to work in a semi-autonomous status with the ADA. Don S. Willner '47, former president of BLU, was elected national chairman of the new organization at the end of the three-day convention which started on March 23.
The HLU which voted three weeks ago to affiliate itself with the proposed SDA sent a ten-man delegation to Washington and will probably soon become an official chapter of the now-organized SDA. At the conference called with the support of the ADA, a constitution was drawn up and general outlines of policy decided on including resolutions accepting with limitations aid to Greece and Turkey on asking that the problem be turned over to the U. N. as soon as possible.

William H. Bozman '46, president of the HLU, acted as chairman of a panel discussing veterans on the campus while Mary Brucholz, Radcliffe '49, president of the Radcliffe League for Democracy, was elected as a member at large for the national board.
Drawing its representatives from colleges formerly in the U S Student Assembly, and from recently-formed SDA chapters, schools with members present at this meeting, designed to put the SDA on a national integrated basis, included Smith, Mt. Holyoke, Bennington, Yale and Princeton. The ten HLU members were the only representatives from Harvard.
