At the forum were Hart’s national issues spokesper¬ son Edward Tabash and state campaign chairperson Rick Allen. The forum was attended by about 60 people made up of LMU, USC and UC Riverside students. Tabash spoke first, outlining Hart’s platform and describing it as, “A full and complete agenda for U.S. /world renewal. Tabash pointed out what he sees as apparant failures of the current Reagan administration, listing weaknesses in foreign policy, unemployment, response to the farming crisis and national defense.

Tabash said that another aspect of arms control would be the end of plutonium distribution to smaller na¬ tions by the U.S.S.R. and the United States.

The plan would not include removal of American missiles or military bases from European soil, however. Concerning Nicaragua, Tabash said that Hart would, “End all aid to the Contras and initiate a ‘Peace Offensive’ where we would help the current govern- continued on page 3 National honor society initiates new members Photo by Bob Sanregret At the Alpha Sigma Nu initiation , left to right: Pam Christ opherson, Julian Lis, Father J.
