situation ryan urged faculty student and administration representatives to work together their primary goal he said should be to pre serve the idea and concept of a univer sity forum despite claims by some faculty members that the forum does not act as effectively as it could ryan said that particularlj in issues of mutual concern between faculty students and adminis tration the forum becomes a very important mechanism for the airing of university problems me added thai the forum cannot function without strong support from all three groups ryan said we might have been dreaming a bit of what could be when ihe forum was founded 13 years ago but added that he felt the forum lias accomplished a great deal when its suc cess is judged in terms of its influence on the formation of university policy rather than the amount of legislation it has had pushed through ryan said a study of the problems and ' btructure of the forum would be con ducted over the summer and next year we might have to
