The lectures were sponsored by Motar Board and the YWCA last year, and as is the custom among many Motar Board organizations, as soon as the project was estab lished it was turned over to the co-sponsoring organization. The lectures will be held in room 315 of the Union and if the crowd is large enough the group will move to a larger room. The lec tures are open to both men and women.
