Soc Sci 125 to Study Wealth For Democrats

A group of students from Soc Sci 125 "The American Economy: Conflict and Power" will be researching wealth distribution in the United States for possible use by the Democratic Party.

The group, organized by the Young People's Socialist League and headed by John D. Stephens '70, will study the current distribution of income in the U.S., changes in it, and the effect of taxes and other government measures on it.

Arthur MacEwan, instructor in Economics and head of Soc Sci 125, said yesterday that since the topics the YPSL group wished to investigate fit in perfectly with the course syllabus, he saw no reason why they shouldn't be allowed to use the course as a structure for their research.
