AGS Elects New Officers at Special Dinner Tonight Alpha Gamma Sigma, the hon¬ orary scholarship society on cam¬ pus, is being given a dinner to¬ night in 208D by the Home Econ¬ omics Club. This dinner will also serve as a short business meeting with just two items of business on the agenda. These include the report of the nominating committee, and the election of officers for next semester. Speaker for the eve¬ ning will be Mrs. Mildred Cran¬ ston who will have “Scholarship In the New Year” as her sub¬ ject. An important change is being made in obtaining grades for ap¬ proval for AGS membership. In order to inform those who cannot attend the meeting the change is as follows: To date, each candidate for membership had to obtain his grade and the teacher’s signature for each subject, in order to be ap¬ proved. Henceforth people eligible for membership will be notified by mail by the inspection committee. This committee will lqpk through each student’s grades and tabu¬ late their grade points to see who is eligible. ANYONE RECOGNIZE THESE? . . .

Report on Russia Set as Theme for Forum An up-to-the-minute report from inside Russia based on six years of top level reporting will be presented by Harrison Salisbury, Pulitzer prize winning foreign correspondent in Russia for the New York Times, at the Tuesday Evening For¬ um on January 17 at 8 p.m. in — — — - - Sexson Auditorium. During World War II, acting as a correspondent for the United Press, Salisbury accompanied Eric Johnston, head of the US Cham¬ ber of Commerce on a 6000-mile Harrison Salisbury journey through the Urals, Sibe¬ ria and Central Asia, visiting huge Russian steel armaments and air¬ craft factories and the “forbidden cities” of Samarkand and Tash¬ kent. He returned again in 1953 to visit these same cities and be¬ came the first American to view the development of the fabulous and little-known cities created by the masters of the Kremlin on the northern borders of Afghanistan and Iran. These far-reaching trips to So¬ viet Asia were the first ever made by an American correspondent to all of these cities and the most extensive made in modern times by any foreigner. In his report to the American public, the cor¬ respondent gives an eye-witness report to the tremendous indus¬ trial area which the Communists are building in “forbidden” Cen¬ tral Asia.
