Ex-UN Delegate Wadsworth To Speak at Hoch Tomorrow
James J. Wadsworth, recently elected president of the Peace Research Institute and former US ambassador to the United Nations, will deliver the keynote address as the second annual Model United Nations General Assembly opens at a University convocation tomorrow morning.
Before his speech at 9:20 a.m. in Hoch Auditorium, Mr. Wadsworth will be introduced to the 400 delegates of the Model UN at a roll-call of nations.
EIGHTY-SEVEN of the 99 nations in the UN will be represented in the KU Assembly. Delegations consist of four students, and in most cases a foreign student adviser from that country. There will be eight blocs represented.
Following Mr. Wadsworth's address, the assembly will begin immediate operation with all sessions being held in Hoch. The meetings will be open to the public.
MR. WADSWORTH was the chief negotiator for the United States at
the Geneva talks on banning nuclear weapons, where 240 meetings were held with representation from the Soviet Union.
He was appointed to the UN in 1953 by President Eisenhower and subsequently served as deputy and alternate representative to the Gen-

erical Assembly and representative to the Security Council. In 1960, on the resignation of Henry Cabot Lodge to run for the vice presidency, he became full ambassador for the United States.
In his final press conference before leaving the UN, he said: "I would not have traded these last eight years for anything I could possibly imagine, even though some of the moments have been frustrating and others downright enraging."

Mr. Wadsworth will arrive at KU at 9 a.m. tomorrow. He will leave shortly before 3 p.m. to catch a plane in Kansas City. His address will be recorded on TV tape.

Model UN Assembly to Convene
The Model United Nations General Assembly convenes tomorrow as more than 400 KU students try their hand at solving the problems which confront the world.
Eight blocs and 87 nations will be represented. The blocs are the Arabian, African, Asian, Communist, British-United States, Latin American and an observer nation, Communist China. There are 99 countries in the real U.N., 73 were represented in last year's Model U.N.
THE U.N. ASSEMBLY will begin immediately after James J. Wadsworth's speech. It will recess at noon and resume at 2 p.m. ending about 5:30 p.m. Saturday's session will be from 9 a.m. to noon.
The two main contenders for the diplomatic spotlight are the Latin American Bloc and the Communist bloc.
The Latin American Bloc issued a complaint before vacation to Cuba because it was listed in the Communist bloc.
Alan Latta, Wichita junior and chairman of the Cuban delegation, decided last night that Cuba would return to the Latin American Bloc if the oer was still open.
A MEMBER of the Latin American Bloc said that the offer was still open at last night's bloc meeting if Cuba wanted to join. Albert Palmerlee, Lawrence senior, bloc president, could not be reached for comment this morning.
The Cuban delegation's resolution to be presented to the Assembly stood without amendment. The resolution wants to censure the United States for its acts against Cuba.
Rumors are circulating that the British Commonwealth and United States Bloc and the Asian Bloc will try to table the Cuban resolution on the General Assembly floor.
MEANWIIHLE, THE COMMUNIST bloc plans to issue a complaint against Yugoslavia because it is in
the Western European bloc. The Communist bloc said that as long as the delegation usually votes with the Communist bloc it should be a member of the bloc. The Yugoslavian delegation could not be reached for comment.
Ghana's resolution calling for collective measures by the U.N. to maintain peace, will be discussed with three amendments. It outlines the procedure for the U.N. Operataional Command in the Congo.
Four members of the International Relations Club at Sacred Heart College in Wichita will represent Iran in the Asian bloc. The women will stay at the Gamma Phi Beta House.
The last time another university sent a delegation to the KU Model United Nations was in 1946. Kansas City University represented Great Britain.
KU delegates representing Russia went to the National Intercollegiate United Nations at Okla-

SPRING, WONDERFUL SPRING—Coats are thrown aside and caution against colds tossed to the wind as girls busily work behind Bailey Hall during a sculpture class. Spring was in evidence elsewhere across the campus as maintenance men were cutting grass and students were out cutting class. And the weatherman predicts continued warm weather.
PREPARATIONS BEGIN—George Bennett, secretary-general, and Maurice Smith, parliamentarian, start setting tables for the delegations to the Model United Nations which convenes at 9:30 tomorrow morning in Hoch Auditorium.
KU Students Win 3 Danforth Grants
KU was the only publicly supported institution in the nation to nominate three winners in the Danforth Fellowship competition.
ONLY TWO private universities duplicated the feat of selecting three winners. They are Brown and Wesleyan of Connecticut.
Each college or university is allowed to nominate three candidates for the competition. KU's winners are Fred Morrison, Colby; John L Hodge, Greeley; and John H. Jewell, Garden City. All are seniors.
The announcement of the Danforth Foundation's 1961 list of 98 fellowships gave KU more winners than any other publicly supported institution in the competition for the top three graduate scholarships.
This year Morrison became the third KU student in three years to win one of the 32 Rhodes Scholarships for study at Oxford University in England. No other state university has done as well in this period.
KU$ 20 Woodrow Wilson fellowships topped the number won by any other state university. Morrison
was also a winner in the Woodrow Wilson competition.
Hodge would like to do graduate work in philosophy at Yale. He will graduate from KU with an A.B. degree in mathematics.
DANFORTH FELLOWSHIPS may be renewed for four full years of graduate study financing the Fellow to a doctoral degree. Morrison will probably first accept the Rhodes scholarship and petition for a delay on the Danforth Fellowship.
Morrison duplicated the feat of another KU senior by winning all three scholarships. Ray Nichols of Lawrence is last year's winner of the top three scholarships. Nichols is now attending Oxford University in England.
Jewell is the 1960-61 holder of the Paul B. Lawson award as the ranking senior in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. He will continue the study of English at Indiana or Wisconsin University.
CRC Plans Fraternity Discrimination Check
By John Peterson
The Civil Rights Council condemned the "undemocratic principles and actions of the John Birch Society" last night. It also decided to probe into another area of campus discrimination—fraternity living.
Stephen Baratz, Lawrence graduate student and chairman of the Council, placed the resolution before the group. It brands the Birch Society as a "totalitarian organization which seeks to undermine the constitutional rights and freedoms of all who seek, through the fulfillment of their heritage as Americans, the realization of these rights."
Melvin Goering of Bethel College was the only other student at a Kansas school to win a Danforth. Only three others were won at Big Eight conference schools.
THERE WAS no discussion and the resolution was adopted with only one abstention.
Denis Kennedy, Lawrence graduate student, read a letter to be sent to all fraternities and sororities "asking for information" on their policies concerning discriminatory clauses. The main questions the letter asks are:
- What is the procedure for elimination of such clauses and is any action planned?
- Does your national or local organization have a discriminatory clause concerning membership in relation to race or creed?
- Is your organization willing to
| pledge members of a minority group?
Kennedy's committee was instructed to reword a preamble which would clearly explain to the houses receiving the letter that no action was planned and that the sole objective of the letter was information.
Kennedy was queried as to the effect the letter would have on the fraternities and sororites.
He replied:
"IF ASKING about human rights is in itself antagonistic, then antagonism cannot be avoided. The whole question of civil rights will be held up here until action is taken in this area.
"When we are dealing with civil rights, we are asking people to change their habits. This will always encounter opposition regardless of the matter at hand."
In other action the CRC voted against affiliating with the Congress on Racial Equality (CORE), voted to ask Sam Jackson, a state NAACP official, to talk to the Council April 26, received a report on the integration of local barber shops and decided to write for two movies presenting the favorable aspects of student action groups.
The CRC met 45 minutes in closed session before admitting the press.
THE CRC's debate on the affili-
