Forum Features Four Films
Four short films on peace, thermonuclear war, and non-violence will be presented this afternoon by the SUA Minority Opinions Forum.
One of the films, "Walk Toward Freedom," contrasts non-violence and mob violence as means of social protest. The film was made from newsreels of Montgomery, Alabama campaigns of Negroes for civil rights.

Other films include a documentary "H-Bomb Over the U.S." which shows the effect of a ten-megaton bomb on a metropolis; "Language of Faces," a film which shows how far Americans have gone in accepting militarism; and "Which Way The Wind," a film in which actors demonstrate a nation's glorification of war.
THE FILMS will be shown at 4:30 this afternoon in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union.

Laird Wilcox. Lawrence freshman
and chairman of the SUA Minority Opinions Forum, also announced a new series of programs which present dissent from majority opinion in tape-recorded form.
"Which Way America" is a tape recording on the program which presents a debate between Barry Goldwater, U.S. senator from Arizona, and Norman Thomas, the former socialist candidate for president.
The conservative-socialist debate took place in Tucson, Ariz., less than a year ago. Wilcox said.
THE TAPE-discussion series called "Ideas of Our Times," will begin on March 19 and will be held once a week at 8 p.m. on Thursdays in the Kansas Union.
The first tape, "About Young Writers," is an address by Nedrick Young, a blacklisted Hollywood cinema writer. In the address Young discusses the effect of the film in-

Wheels Begin Turning For Peace Corps Week
Five representatives of the Peace Corps from Washington, D.C., will be on campus next week to participate in the KU Peace Corps Week.
"The two goals of the week will be to try to encourage KU students to take advantage of the concentrated testing program for the Peace Corps, and also to inform the campus of the Peace Corps activities," John Fairhurst, Wichita junior, said.
The idea of having the week was suggested by officials of the Peace Corps in Washington, and the first Peace Corps representative arrived today to aid the KU committee in planning the week, Fairhurst said.
FOUR HOURS a day have been planned for testing programs, March 23-26. The programs will be administered by the Washington representatives from 10 a.m. to noon and from 2-4 p.m. in the Cottonwood-Meadowlark rooms of the Kansas Union. It is hoped that all interested students will take advantage of the testing opportunity, Fairhurst said.
Other tapes in the "Ideas in Our Times" series include talks and documentaries by William F. Buckley, editor of the conservative magazine, "National Review?" Martin Luther King, Alabama sit-in leader; Eddie Rickenbacker, conservative leader; and the Rev. Morris McCracken, leader of the Tennessee attempt of Negro farmers to register to vote.
The information program will be carried out using a Peace Corps center, set up in the union lobby, and through visits by the Washington representatives to various classes and living groups.
"We (members of the Peace Corps committee) have checked with several department heads about scheduling class appearances for the Washington representatives," Fairhurst said. Emphasis is being placed on engineering, education, and science classes.
The highlight of the week will be a Recognition Banquet at 5:30 p.m.
Wednesday, in the Kansas room of the Union. Attendance at the banquet is by invitation only. W. Clarke Wescoe, Chancellor of the University, confirmed yesterday that he will speak at the banquet, Fairhurst said.
A general Peace Corps meeting, planned by the Washington representatives, will follow the banquet and coffee, and is open to the public. The specific program for the general meeting has not yet been determined.
FOLLOWING the banquet a coffee time will be opened to all interested students.
"It is the aim of the week's activities to stimulate student interest in the Peace Corps," Clark Coan, assistant dean, and faculty adviser to the Peace Corps committee, said. "The Washington representatives are trying to encourage students to take the tests and possibly join the Peace Corps."
A Peace Corps Week booklet, compiled by the news media committee, will be distributed free of charge in living groups Friday. The booklet, which will contain basic information about the Peace Corps and Peace Corps Week, is dedicated to President John F. Kennedy.
