LIBERAL CLUB TO PUBLISH NEW PAPER BEGINNING MAY 1

Trustees Will Sponsor First Three Issues of Planned Publication--May Become Monthly

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

A new publication will be undertaken by the Harvard Liberal Club, it was decided at a meeting of the club last night. The proposal of publishing a periodical has received the approval of the trustees of the Liberal Club, and they have announced that they would back three issues, the first of which will appear Tuesday, May 1, after which a decision will be made concerning the continuation of the publication.

The paper will devote itself to liberal, political, and social problems which may be both national and international in scope. At the same time a definite attempt will be made to feature Liberal Club activities. The purpose behind the newspaper will be to remain impartial to any problem which may be discussed.

Frank E. Sweetser, who has been elected to edit the new paper announces that the publication will be approximately the same size as the Daily Record, but will resemble that paper in no other manner. It will be four pages in length, and will probably be sold at ten cents a copy, although no definite decisions have been made concerning the price. Since the year is rapidly drawing to a close, only one issue has been planned for the remainder of the year. However, if the success of the paper warrants it, another issue will be undertaken which will appear in print about June 2. Next year the club plans to publish five issues, although a paper may be published every month if the Executive Board thinks it advisable.

Although the editors have not yet been selected, the men whom Sweetser selects, with the approval of the Executive Board of the Liberal Club, will become the editors of the publication.

When the proposal of publishing the paper was placed before the club members last night, an overwhelming majority of 13 to 3 approved it. A select few, who later were found to be interested in the Harvard Critic, opposed the new plans, but their objections were quickly checked by the remaining enthusiastic supporters of the future newspaper.
