Model UN Nations Studying Issues
Enthusiasm is mounting for the Model United Nations meeting in April as blocs plan strategy and steering committee members finish plans for the physical arrangements
The bloc advisers told the steering committee that they expected to have more countries taken before the next bloc meeting. The KU-Y office reports that more than 80 countries are now registered, but the exact number was not known as all of the directory slips have not been returned by the delegations. The KU-Y office wants the delegations to turn in the directory slips this week.
BLOCS STARTED research on the resolutions for the Congo, Cuba and United Nations structural organization issues last week.
At the meetings, some blocs divided their delegates into research groups on the three issues. Other blocks have all of their members doing research on all of the issues. Even in the divided research groups, all of the delegates are getting background.
The countries were advised to
write immediately for further information to their embassies in Washington and United Nations delegations in New York.
The blocs would like to "listen in" on each other but nothing definite has been established in the way of a spy system. (Kansas State University's UN "spies" used walkie-talkies until they were caught.)
MORE THAN 400 delegates and foreign student advisers will turn Hoch Auditorium into the General Assembly room of the United Nations. The delegates will sit at 50 oblong tables placed in tiered semicircles. Microphones will spot the floor at strategic points. The steering committee agreed that the delegates should have an easier time reaching the microphones than they did last year.
Placards and large signs with the names of the countries will mark the delegations' seats in the Assembly Room.
James J. Wadsworth, the former U. S. ambassador for the UN, will speak from the podium on stage. A United Nations Seal, made by Tom Eaton, will be behind the podium.
Exotic Foods, Music To Enliven Banquet
Tomorrow, foreign students from 16 to 20 countries will be preparing food, practicing entertainment numbers, and getting ready to decorate for the "Taste the World" Banquet at 5:30 p.m. Sunday in the Kansas Union Ballroom.
Some tickets are still available at the Union Ticket Center.
POTS AND PANS will rattle and cooking odors will fill the air around foreign students' apartments and dormitories as the international chefs prepare enough of each salad, dessert and main dish for 400 people. The foods will be typical of the student's country. Four continents will be represented-Europe, Asia, Africa and South America.
Julia Matthews, Kent, England, graduate student and secretary for International Club, said the menu contains three salads and many different breads and desserts, along with 10 main dishes. There will be potato, rice and meat dishes.
A French student said that the salad they were fixing contained both fruits and vegetables, a favorite in the plush resort area at Nice.
Music from many lands will spice the entertainment program.
Ernie Vergara, Vigan, Philippines, graduate student and the master of ceremonies, said that seven countries would be represented on the program.
The Latin American combo will play typical South American songs like cha-cha-chas, marimbas, and calypsos. There will be Chinese folk songs by Lily Feng, Pingtung, Formosa, graduate student. Vergara will play Philippine songs on the piano and Paula MacDougal will play classical music.
HAWAIIAN GIRLS will do the hula. Augustine Kyei, Accra, Ghana, graduate student, will play the mandolin.
Vergara said that Jim McMullan, Long Beach, N. Y., senior, might sing and play some American ballads.
Every country in the International Club will be represented by posters displayed along the balcony of the ballroom.
Christian Laubie, Avallon Yonn,
France, graduate student, said that
he planned to have posters from 50
countries hanging on the balcony.
Laubie said: "The banquet will be done night-club style, with candles on the tables. Branches or other types of decorations will be used."
Vanity is the cause of a great deal of virtue in men; the vainest are those who like to be thought respectable.—Sir Arthur Wing Pinero
A briefing on the air power of the Tactical Air Command scheduled for this evening in Bailey Auditorium has been canceled. The Air Force ROTC unit was told that the speakers had been recalled to Langley Field, Va. for a newly scheduled meeting that had priority over the KU presentation.
Air Power Talk Off
Death Penalty Bill Approved
TOPEKA — (UPI) — The house judiciary committee yesterday approved for passage a bill which would abolish capital punishment in Kansas.
But even if enacted promptly, the measure would not save Lowell Lee Andrews or other prisoners on death row at Lansing State Penitentiary.
Vote on the bill in the committee was 9-6.
Dr. Eugene Slater, Bishop of the Methodist Church in Kansas, appeared at a hearing before the committee to announce his support of the bill sponsored by Reps. Jerry Griffith, D-Derby, Bill E. Gravley, D-Wichita, Robert Scallorn, D-Wichita, and John Bower, R-McLouth.
The bill would make persons convicted of capital crimes subject to non-commutable life sentences.
The minister said the possibility of an offender facing death for his crime does not appear to prevent the act and that society's attitude toward the man who breaks society's laws is that of providing a situation under which the offender may be rehabilitated.
Also appearing before the committee was Harry O. Lyle, Junction City, who served three years on the state board of probation and parole.
