UN Trip Gives Ideas To Model UN Leaders
By Barbara Phillips
EXPERIENCE is supposed to be the best teacher, so what could be more useful in running KU's Model United Nations than observing the real UN in action.
This is the feeling of Richard J. White, Wakefield, Mass., senior and Steering Committee chairman and this year's Secretary General of the Model UN. White attended the Leadership Training Institute of the Collegiate Council for the United Nations (CCNU) in New York last summer.
White said one of the most interesting speeches given was by the Portuguese ambassador, who defended his country's colonial policy. "It was good to hear the other side for once," White said.
THE ACTIVITIES of the council, composed of college and university students from all over the country, included talks by Secretary-General U Thant and other UN delegates, and workshops for those students interested in running their own UN.
U Thant, due to a crisis with which the UN was dealing, spoke only for 15 minutes, White said. The secretary general explained the work of the UN for the group and stated that there are three major areas of conflict among the member nations—ideology, economics and social tensions.

White said some of these ideas will probably be used in the KU version of the UN which will be held sometime in late April. At any rate much of the structure of the UN will be changed this year, he said.
THE AMBASSADOR from Yugoslavia dealt with the non-alignment policy of his and other nations. White quoted him saying, "Nonaligned small nations grow outside of the big power conflict."
It will run three days instead of the usual two. It will incorporate students from other universities, with special emphasis being placed on working with students from area junior colleges. This year the Model UN will get along without the usual bloc system, White said.
THE STEERING COMMITTEE is split up this year into five subcommittees: secretarial, research, budget and finance, publicity, and the physical arrangements committees.
White feels that he gained much valuable experience by attending the council. He hopes that next year's secretary-general will also attend the council.
He added that although the CCUN has no KU chapter as such, the KU-Y is the campus affiliate.
India's Delegate Relates Nation's Peace Desires
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.—(UPI)
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.-(UPI)
Indian Foreign Minister Sardar Swaran Singh today sought to convince the United States of India's sincerity to move towards a peaceful settlement of its war with Pakistan over Kashmir.
Against a background of increasing reports of violations of a U.N.-ordered cease-fire, Singh was to meet with Secretary of State Dean Rusk today. He conferred Thursday with Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko and French Foreign Minister Maurice Couve de Murville.
INFORMED diplomatic sources said that while Singh was insisting to the big three leaders that India would not give up in its dispute with Pakistan, he emphasized steps India was willing to take to help bring peace in the subcontinent.

The sources said Singh presented three main points in his initial contracts with the foreign ministers.
TOKYO—(UPI)—Communist China today celebrated its 16th anniversary with a massive anti-American rally in Peking's "Gate of Heaven" Square.
