In the early spring the Y.P.'s combined with other college political groups in a fruitless attempt to save Willie McGee from the electric chair.

Religion and the Y.P.'s tangled that May. Debate over expansion of religion at Harvard split both the United Ministry Groups (six denominations are represented) and the political clubs. The College was then considering having General Education courses in religion and a University chaplain.

"There are other things more seriously lacking in the curriculum--as, for example, a professional guidance system or faculty proponents of Marxism or progressive views," Beveridge said, summing up the Y.P. argument.

Y.P. Platform

If the Young Progressive Club officially regains its feet, it will campaign for the Progressive Party, Nicolai Cikovsky, Jr. '55, spokesman for the group announced Tuesday. The principle planks in the platform are:

1.) Immediate cease-fire in Korea.

2.) Halt of rearming and re-Nazification of Germany.

3.) Outlawing the atom bomb and all weapons of mass destruction.

4.) Recognition of the People's Republic of China.

5.) Support of colonial independence movements.

6.) Repeal of the Taft-Hartley law and re-establishment of the Wagner Act.

7.) Effective price and rent control.

8.) FEPC, anti poll tax, and anti lynch laws.

9.) Repeal of the McCarran Act, Smith Act, and McCarran Walters Immigration Act.

10.) Academic freedom and comprehensive program of aid to needy students without discrimination.
