Framers of the Harvard Socialist Club found last night they could not manage approval of their proposed constitution.

Harried by men who objected either to specifics of the proposed constitution or to what the club should stand for, Chairman Amon Horne '60 and Robert B. Shapiro '59, and Jeremy J. Shapiro '61 failed to get even a name list of all those interested. The major clauses of the constitution which drew criticism were those concerning the powers of the five-man executive committee, and provisos to evict possible "obstructionist" members, many of whom did attend the club's first meeting.

Other disagreements which prevented approval rose over when the constitution should be submitted to the Student Council for charter, and whether the club should be primarily a socialist information fund or an organization with a political mission.

The purposes of the club, according to Horne, are to present a "socialist world view" to Harvard students; to stimulate talk of socialism; and to provide a platform at Harvard for socialism advocates. Intended activities are: a speaker series, inter-and intra-club debates, and publication of current-events newsletters. Horne also suggested a fund-raising entertainment series.

The two faculty sponsors required for Student Council approval are Adam B. Ulam, associate professor of Government, and Zbigniew K. Brzezinski, assistant professor of Government.
