Packers' Paradise
Last week Yale founded the first U. S. counterpart of the most famed extracurricular activity in the world--the Oxford Union. Like its model, the Yale Political Union will be a parliamentary debating society with members seated by parties, ruled by floor leaders. Predicted the Yale News: "Those hundreds of Yale men who revel in scheming, in 'packing,' in every crooked practice known to the county boss, will have a paradise especially made for them." Less cynical Yalemen, who know what a forcing ground for M. P.'s the Oxford Union has been, could find potential U. S. statesmen in the two young men with famed names who headed the Yale Political Union: president. Max Franklin Millikan, '35, son of Physicist Robert Andrews Millikan; vice president, August Heckscher II, '36, grandson of the Manhattan philanthropist.
