More than 200 students have already signed its petition to the Corporation asking that Earl Browder be allowed to speak in a University hall, the John Reed Society's Executive Committee announced last night.

The committee said that it will continue to circulate the petition over the week-end. "In signing this petition," the appeal reads, "we do not signify our approval of Mr. Browder's point of view, but affirm the right of Harvard students to hear him."
