Conscience Still in Cold Storage
comment
Too often, we are inclined to dismiss happenings in remote corners of the world as being insignificant or irrelevant to our lives and our politics—which is all very well
as long as the events themselves are of the kind that can be ignored, such as the death of a dozen starving natives in some Asian country. There are times, however, when an emergency occurs, and there is some response from wherever it is that we have put conscience into cold storage.
Genocide, or the planned and organized killing of numberless other humans, is one of the most disturbing crimes in history.
Host Family Program Revamped
Kansan Staff Writers
Sibyle Barron, former chairman of the Host Family Program, and Reynolds discussed this problem and other problems last Friday.
In the past five years the Lawrence Host Family Program has been plagued with problems stemming from a breakdown in communication between the organizers and the foreign students involved. In order to address these difficulties, Bonnie Reynolds, co-coordinator, have started new programs and communicative procedures, she said last Monday.

A few families have complained in the past that too much was expected of them in school and hosted to foreign students, Reynolds said. Another dissatisfaction because they did not have the opportunity to get acquainted with the teacher and the basic problem of the program, she said.
IN THE PAST, Reynolds said, the
program had tried to match each new foreign student with a family. Reynolds said that families were often recruited on a scale to meet the demand, even though they were not really interested. Students themselves often found that after making new friends and going to classes they no longer wanted or needed a host family.
Barron said that in dealing with hundreds of students and families it simply became a problem of book work. The committee that dealt with the issues seven members and only five of those people do the actual work, Reynolds said. She said people cannot handle this load," she added.
THE HOST FAMILY Program will also begin to assign only those foreign students
To solve the problem of keeping track of the families, Reynolds said, the committee is going to assign people who will keep in touch with a certain number of families to find out how many are still active in the program.
who are interested. Next fall new foreign students will receive letters from the host program asking them to fill out a card and send it to the Foreign Students Office if they are interested. In this way, Reynolds said, "We hope to find the most interested students and put them with the most interested families."
Barron said that by reducing the number of students and families involved in the program the committee could start to match people with common interests.
A second problem that has plagued the program is that many families feel they do not have the time. Of course, families who feel this way should not become host families, Reynolds said. But often they misunderstand what their duties would be. Reynolds stressed that families should be very casual and informal.
"I think the general complaint among the students is 'I see very little of my family,'" I said.
A third problem, language, has also made
U.S.,Israel Say Soviet Remark Does Not Reflect U.N.Council
The Washington Post
By ANTHONY ASTRACHAN
UNITED NATIONS—Israel and the United States accused Soviet Ambassador A. Malik last Thursday of putting forth Soviet views while claiming to speak for the entire Security Council as council president for June.
Maliak claimed Thursday morning to be speaking for the council in reply to questions about the council's attitudes on basic issues that were posed Monday by Egyptian foreign Minister Mohammed El-Zayyat.
He cited provisions of the U.N. charter and resolutions of the council and General Assembly that tended to support the Arab position on two subjects.
The other was the right of peoples to self-determination, which is the basis for the rule that has been established.
Malki's action took on added significance because he appeared to be expressing a fascination with Russia, few days before Soviet leader Ludwig Brezhnev came to the United States for discussions with President Nixon that will address the Middle East, among other subjects.
ONE WAS THE inadmissibility of acquiring territories by force, which the Arabs ate as requiring withdrawal by Arab forces during the Six-Day War in 1967.
THE COUNCIL TAKES the summit talks so seriously that it decided to adjourn its Middle East debate Thursday until July 16, to allow sufficient time for summit decisions to be communicated to the parties and to be analyzed by them.
U. S. Ambassador John Scall spoke as soon as Malcolm concluded and told him, "Since there have been no consultations on the three questions addressed to the council, I must assume that you have spoken in your individual capacity."
Scall later was anxious to discount the significance of Malik's ploy.
"We have firm assurances that he did not intend to slap the outstretched hand of American friendships" he told the Washington Post.
NOW Meets Tonight
The National Organization for Women (NOW) will meet at 7:30 tonight at the Trinity Episcopal Church, 20th and Verdi Chapel, where the agenda includes a report state coordinate with Patton on the recent NOW regional conference and plans for a state planning meeting.
"It was a cheap parliamentary trick, so I challenged him, but I didn't use a sledge hammer because I thought a flick on the wrist would suffice."
"But," Reynolds said, "people need to know that you can communicate with one another whether or not you can talk. If you don't have a language problem, you don't have a language problem."
OTHER DIPLOMATS suggested that Scall might well be right but, if so, it suggested a significant clumsiness in an ambassador, as experienced as Malki, who presided over his first Security Council meeting 25 years ago.
families hesitant to participate in the program. Reynolds describes it as the "harmful effect" of the program.
Other Security Council ambassadors who do not often side with the United States expressed shock privately at Malik's violation of U. N. conventions.
Israeli Ambassador Yosef Tekoh charged in the council that Malik had misused his office of president of the State Council and selected or distorted interpretations" of the U.N. Charter and Resolutions. He said this proved beyond any doubt that the Council "is not a forum that offers its citizens a place for discussion from its merits the situation in the Middle East."
THE MAJORITY OF speakers in the Council debate have been Arab nations and other countries sympathetic to them. They have accused the United States of Council Resolution 242, the basis for all negotiations in the Middle East since the 1967 war, for withdrawal of Israeli troops occupied Arab territories. Many, incidentally, have supported United States of partisan support of Israel.
Scaled denied these allegations and said Resolution 242 linked Israeli withdrawal to the sovereignty, territorial knowledge of the political independence of every state in the area and their right to live in peace within threats or acts of force.
He also said the resolution "mether endorses nor precludes" the transformation of the pre-1967 armistice lines into final boundaries. These boundaries, in the U.S. view, are part of the over-all agreement in which can be achieved by only an "ongering,紊结, negotiating process, either direct or indirect, which engages the parties themselves."
DESPITE THE CONTRADICTIONS apparent in Thursday's debate between the Soviet Union and the United States, Chinese Ambassador Huang Hua charged the two superpowers "were responsible for the unchanged debt in settling the Middle East area while they competed for hegemony and strategic oil resources in the area.
Two programs have been planned for the fail to answer family and student questions about the program, Reynolds said. A family orientation program will include an exploration of the program's purpose and will feature a reading of foreign student feedback.
He said that the superpowers were jointly spreading the idea that Palestinians and Israelis must fight together.

Law Honor Society Elects 17 Students
The council adjourned its Middle East debate for a month with no indication that any viable resolution had been considered and that solutions in which the real business of the United States
Egypt, whose request started this debate—the first in nearly six years on the Middle East problem as a whole—still has not decided what kind of U.N. action it wants or how far it will try to go. Council attempts to force the United States to veto a resolution—and many doubt that Egypt wants to do so.

THE ORIENTATION program for the foreign students, which is held each year by the Office of Foreign Students, will be handled differently this fall. The foreign students will be divided into small groups of 15, Reynolds said, and each group will be a foreign student who is familiar with the University and the Host Family Program.

Rujanweah, a Ph. D. candidate in school administration, was not confronted with the possibility of misunderstandings. Her husband, Garoon Rujanweah, also a graduate student, said a lot of the success of their family and the individual student.
Barron said that while the Host Family Program was a "community service on behalf of students," the Student Office for supplies and postage. She said that the office had been helpful in providing information about the students so that the program had looked to the office as a "support."
The letter stated, "We hope that our office can provide you with opportunities to learn about teaching and students enrolled at KU, but also with families in and around Lawrence. As you will see after being here awhile, host teachers will be in the life of many students from abroad."

The orientation program for the families and students was seen as a "very good idea" by Chuancuen Rujanawech from Bangkok, Thailand.

Yet today, such a genocide appears to be taking place in Africa, in the little state of Burundi, the microscopic country next to Tanzania. News reports indicate that the ruling Tutsi tribe is waging a war of extinction against the Hutu, following an uprising by the Hutu last year in which about 80,000 people are believed to have died.

An open mass grave outside Bujumbura, capital of Burundi, is testimony to the scale chosen to call 'anti-terrorist' activity. The hunt from Hutu from Tanzania has been as high as 13,000 persons in the past month, crossing the borders at the rate of 800 daily.
