Five Faculty members will debate the merits of Dewey, Truman, and Wallace in the third Law School Forum of the year at Rindge Tech auditorium tonight at 8 p.m. "The Faculty Votes--'48 Elections" is the official title of the discussion, and Professors Warren A. Seavey, W. Barton Leach, Mark de Wolfe Howe, and Zechariah Chafee of the Law School will speak, as well as Associate Professor John Ciardi of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences.

The Forum was originally scheduled as an all-Law School affair, but no Law School Faculty member could be procured to take the Wallace viewpoint. Ciardi has consented to defend the Third Party, on the basis that it is "really a second party," since there is little difference in the Republican and Democratic platforms.

Seavey Speaks for G.O.P.

Professor Seavey, a former Dean of the Law School at the University of Nebraska, will uphold the Republicans on the theory that "Dewey, even in sneakers, is better than all the rest.

He will be opposed by Professor Howe, who will defend Truman's record against the attack of Ciardi, Leach, and Seavey. Professor Chafoo will take the middle course, emphasizing the need for keeping the expected Republican majority within limits.

Professor Leach is expected to lash out in all directions, since he backs no candidate, fully feeling that no one of them "has appraised our position realistically and formulated his politics along such lines."

The Forum, however, will not be primarily an argument between the rival political camps, Publicity Director Rowland Brown 3L has explained, since none of the participants are committed members of the campaigning parties. Brown expects that "no campaign promises will be made, nor party records kept sacred. Rather, it will be a wide-open, give-and-take affair."
