HAROLD LASKI Radio's Tow To Originat From USC I Free tickets will be availabl Town Meeting of the Air," or Field House Tuesday night. Ti vcrsity extension division, the merce, the Columbia Merchan WCOS. Town Meeting is an hour forum type show and will feature a dis cussion conducted by George V. Denny, program moderator. Par ticipating experts in the show are Harold J. Laski, Max Lerner, Louis P. Lochner and H. V. Kal tenborn. Kaltenborn reploces Ar thur Bliss Lane, who was origi nally scheduled to app'ar on the show, and will participate from a New York.atdio. The broadcast topic will be "What Next in Europe, Now." Town Meeting is carried coast to coast over 251 American Broad casting Company stations to an estimated weekly audience of from five to ten million listeners. WCOS in Columbia will be the only local station carrying the program, which is also scheduled by the Armed Forces Network and is shori.waved overseas by the state department. The idea for the broadcast is based on the old New England town meeting at which problems of interest to the community were discussed. The first half hour of the program will be devoted to a discussion by the guest experts and the last half hour will consist of questions addressed to the ex perts from the floor. The program is designed to carry discussions of important po litical topics and questions directly affecting Americani life. Its im portance is increased in this elec tion year as most of the campaign issues will be aired over Town Meeting.

The university offciali have been waiting until the end of this session before making any definite plans for building, but Pres. Norman M. Smith said early this month that aft er the legislature adjourned more definite announcements for construction would be made. No announcement has been made yet as to whether the new building would be on the main campus or in some other location.
