KU-Y Model UN delegation posts need to be filled for April sessions
The sessions will be April 10-12, and delegations are rapidly being formed, said Mrs. Stephen Edwards, a KU-Y adviser.
KU's model UN is about to begin its first session.
delegations should hurry because there are only 126 nations in the UN."
Barry Albin, Topeka junior, said "Forty-five countries have been assigned to delegations already. Those wishing
Delegations are generally composed of four or five people, Albin said.
"This year, instead of having a keynote speaker, it has been decided that the major powers will present policy speeches," Albin said.
These powers include Israel, the United Arab Republic, Great Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union, he said.
"There will be five committees" Albin explained. "These will be legal, special political, political and security, social, cultural and humanitarian, and security council."
KU graduate student finishes film on how draft affects person's life
With the student as the hero and the draft as the villain, the conflict arises, the stage is set.
But "Your Country Calls," insists the title of the film written and directed by Richard Geary. Wichita graduate student.
"There is not much of a plot," Geary said, "just a string of events about how the draft can bung up a person's life without really doing anything to him."
"The story is 90 per cent autobiographical," he added.
Geary began filming last September and finished shooting two weeks ago. He said the film is partially practice for his master's thesis in radio-TV-film.
"We filmed all over the campus—the Kansas Union, Strong Hall, Flint Hall and a couple of apartments," Geary said.
Geary said he would like to have the film shown on campus after he completes the editing in March or April "especially since the cost is breaking me." he said.
After editing the 3,000 feet of film, Geary said he expects it will be one hour long. This will probably cost $700, he said.
"This is the first work I have done with synchronized sets," Geary said.
New library aids researchers
The newest building on campus is a storehouse of rare books and special collections. The Kenneth Spencer Research Library, behind Strong Hall, was opened for general use last December.
Miss Alexandra Mason, head of the department of special collections, said, "We are pretty well situated now." She said the staff was enthusiastic about the move to the new building from the basement of Watson Library-"It was like moving from a small apartment to a big house."
The capacity of the library is more than 100 persons. She said students and faculty have been making extensive use of the many reference sources, and a
lot of people from many places have come just to look at the building.
"Every person who has need of the use of the contents of this library is welcome here," she said, "however, it is not a study hall." She explained that the primary function of the library is for research.
With a 670,000 volume capacity, Spencer Library is not close to being full, but it has a wealth of rare books, historical manuscripts, and maps, Mrs. Mason said. The collections range in scope from a 17th century Renaissance collection to contemporary American poetry, she said.
