Model UN Acts Daily hansan On 6 Resolutions 61st Year. No. 132
Students pondered, debated and voted on Friday and Saturday in Hoch Auditorium.
The occasion was the fifth Model United Nations, sponsored by the KU-Y, which offers students the opportunity to learn about the U.N. through experience.
Action was taken on six of the eight resolutions on the agenda. Two other resolutions were presented from the floor. Resolutions on the Security Council, South Africa, the admittance of Red China to the U.N., disarmament, Israel, and a peace-keeping force were considered and the assembly adjourned before discussing resolutions on Kashmir and the Oder-Neisse boundary of Poland.
The sixth resolution discussed on the agenda, the resolution concerning Israel proposed: 1) all aid and assistance from the U.N. to Israel be stopped; 2) member nations of the U.N. use all their moral, political, and economic power they have to persuade Israel to abide by the letter and the spirit of the U.N. charter and resolutions; 3) legal possession of land in Palestine be restored to occupants in residence before the conflict of 1947; 4) all immigrants in Palestine since 1947 be returned to their native countries or resettled; 5) if Israel does not comply with parts 3 and 4 the membership of Israel in the U.N. be terminated.
After presentation by Jordan who sponsored the resolution and some discussion, a roll call vote was recorded and the proposal failed to pass. Jordan, who stated that Israel had imperialistic and expansionistic tendencies, and the remainder of the Arab bloc walked out of the General Assembly, leaving with a declaration of war against Israel.
Brazil immediately proposed a resolution calling for a peacekeeping force to be sent to Israel. In addition another separate resolution calling for a mediation board in Israel was proposed. Both resolutions passed.
Disarmament through the declaration of specific countries as nuclear free zones was jointly proposed by the U.S. and U.S.S.R.
The resolution passed and called for immediate action as soon as a method of enforcement could be found.
The U.S. proposal concerning the Security Council asked for a change in the number of members. The present five permanent members, United States, the Republic of China, France, the U.S.S.R., and Great Britain would remain on the council, but the non-permanent membership would be changed from six to nine.
Only the affirmative vote of nine members would be required on procedural matters where as seven were required before. Other decisions by the council would require nine votes including the concurring votes of the permanent members. The proposal passed although France moved to declare the assembly incompetent to rule on or discuss the resolution.
Tanganyika presented a resolution calling for a condemnation by the U.N. of the policies and practices of apartheid in South Africa. If the policies in South Africa did not change, the U.N. members were asked to cut off diplomatic relations with South Africa. The resolution passed.
A peace-keeping force which would be on permanent alert was proposed by New Zealand. The force would be used at the request of the Secretary-General "when the recognized government of a member nation requested United Nations assistance." This resolution was also passed by the assembly.
After debate between France and the Republic of China, the question of admitting the People's Republic of China was tabled. Attempts were made to bring the resolution back on to the floor for discussion. However, before this could be accomplished a request for a count of delegations present was made.
The necessary majority of nations was not present at the time of the count and the assembly was forced to adjourn under the rules of parliamentary procedure at 3:30 p.m. Saturday.
Lawton to Answer Questions On Parking in ASC Session
Keith Lawton, vice-chancellor of operations, said he will attend a special meeting of the All Student Council to discuss the recent hike in parking permit fees and increased parking restrictions.
The ASC voted unanimously Tuesday to have the special session since Lawton was unable to attend the regular ASC meeting.
SEVERAL ASC members voiced strong opposition to the new traffic program which raises permit fees from the present $4 rate to $10, and restricts parking on central campus zones to faculty members until 11:00 p.m.
Jim Cline, Rockford, Ill., junior and representative from the large men's residence halls, said in an interview last night he thought the residence hall residents deserved an explanation for the fee hike.
"It is not fair that only the residence hall students pay more to park their cars in our hall lots," Cline said.
"The basic question I want to ask is why they need to raise this fee, and especially why any raise is not more representative of the entire campus.
CLINE SAID THAT if the fee was to increase the number of security officers, these would not be used around the residence halls.
"The dormitory office takes care of hiring any security officers themselves to look after the cars, the parking lot and the area around the halls and this is included in our dormitory fee."
Rights Debate Stopped Briefly
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — A well-dressed young Negro interrupted the Senate's civil rights debate today when he rose in the gallery and loudly criticized the poor attendance on the floor.
The Negro, speaking slowly,
asked "How can you say you are
protecting the black man when
there are only five of you there.
"I thought this is America," he said, "the land of the free."
The Negro spoke for several minutes until he was ushered out of the visitors gallery by attendants. He made no effort to resist and was hustled up the stairs and out the door.
Cline also said he would like to know why the extra 281 spaces were necessary for faculty members and not for students on campus at night. He asked why persons needing or desiring to park on campus at night couldn't pay a special fee for a night parking sticker.
ANOTHER QUESTION Cline plans to ask Lawton is what the officers in the traffic control booths do after the campus is open for traffic in the afternoon.
"I hope interested students will attend the meeting, especially those from the large residence halls, so that we can all better understand the problems and the
rationale behind these proposed solutions." Cline said.
Lawton had no comment on what he would say to the ASC, but Mike Miner, Lawrence junior and ASC chairman, said he had asked Lawton to briefly explain the new program and then answer questions from the floor.
The council session at 7:00 p.m. Tuesday in the Kansas Union will be the first special session since the meeting following President Kennedy's death.
Although it is not a regular, meeting. Miner said the council will also discuss any new business council members want to bring up.
AWS to Give Honors Tonight to KU Women
Highlight of this year's work by KU women students will be tonight, when the Associated Women Students (AWS) presents its annual "Honors Night."
"To honor women for past work, to announce the programs for the coming year, and to culminate the year's activities are the purposes of such an Honors Night." Dean Emily Taylor said in an interview yesterday afternoon.
"Honors Night" will begin at 8:15 p.m. in the University Theatre in Murphy Hall.
MOST OF THE awards to be presented are being kept secret until this evening, Carol McMahan, Wichita sophomore, and chairman of the Honors Night committee, said.
Among the "surprise" honors to be announced will be the tapping of new members of Cwens and Mortar Board.
Cwens is a national sophomore women's honorary society, whose members are selected during the spring of their freshman year on the basis of scholarship, leadership in living groups, and campus activities.
At KU, the major project of the Cwens is the orientation of freshman women.
"Mortar Board honors women for three year's work," Miss McMahan said.
MEMBERS OF MORTAR Board are senior women, selected by the outgoing chapter for their scholarship, leadership, and service.
Also included in the list of "surprise" honors, will be the announcement of counsellors for the freshman women's dormitories.
"This position is an honor because, although many apply for the position, the final choices are carefully selected," Miss McMahan said.
Also to be announced tonight will be the selection of the outstanding women students from each living group, and the American Association of University women's (AAUW) outstanding woman student.
Members of the AWS Fashion Board for 1964-65 will be presented at the honor's night function, as will the new members of the AWS Senate and House of Representatives.
"THE AWS SENATORS are elected from the campus at large, and the representatives are elected from each of the living groups," Miss McMahan said.
She said that the oath of office will be administered to Sherry Whitcher, Prairie Village senior, who will administer the oath to the newly elected senators and representatives.
Senior. Freshman Women Vote Same on Sex
Bv Lee Stone
KU women are one per cent more liberal in their views on premarital sex after four years of college, according to the results of Associated Women Students moral attitudes study.
Eight per cent of the freshman women and nine per cent of the senior women at KU believe it is acceptable or morally right to have sexual intercourse before marriage Percentages double if engagement is given as an added condition.
Survey Results On Page 10
This is a tabulation revealed Friday in a study conducted by the roles of women committee of Associated Women Students.
The study also shows 77 percent of KU freshman women and 83 percent of senior women are opposed to necking in public. However, roughly the same percentage of women believe it is alright to neck in parked cars.
RESULTS OF the study were presented for discussion Friday by Patricia Behen, Kansas City senior and chairman of the roles of
women committee, to a panel of KU and Lawrence leaders. About 200 students, mostly women, were present.
Little criticism was directed at the study by the panel. Jerilyn Williamson, a former director of a women's residence hall here, said, however, that it was difficult to infer behavior from the study. She said that was because the questions could be easily "projected onto others." This would cause the respondent to answer according to how she felt others should respond, not how she actually feels, Miss Williamson, Bastrop, La., graduate student, said.
MISS WILLIAMSON described the study as a cross-sectional study, not a longitudinal study. Therefore, she does not believe the study shows proof of a trend in student attitudes as they become seniors. Seniors are generally regarded freer in their attitudes than freshmen, the study shows.
The Rev. Paul E. Davis, pastor of the Plymouth Congregational Church, objected to the exclusion of questions relating to "broad
citizenship responsibilities." He wanted to know how attitudes toward civil rights and the traditions handed down by pilgrims are regarded by today's college women.
Miss Behen explained citizenship questions were excluded because the test would have been too long.
Max Stalcp, guidance counselor at Lawrence High School, was also in general agreement with the test results.
"I FEEL I COULD have predicted the outcome," Stalcup said.
The report shows, in Stalcup's opinion, that the mental health

and moral standards of KU women are good.
"I was a little surprised," Stalcup said, "that although nearly a third of KU women think it is alright to ride with someone who has been drinking, only about 10 percent of them think it alright to drink and drive themselves."
E. Jackson Baur, professor of sociology and anthropology, was asked to make an independent evaluation of the study.
"Kinsey showed that college people are more conservative than the rest of the population," Baur said.
Baur believes the AWS roles of women survey bears out that observation.
Baur found no significant difficulties with the testing procedure. He said, however, that the test results could only be used to refer to women living in organized
AS TO ATTITUDES on drinking, Baur found a "fairly striking difference" between seniors and freshmen. More seniors tend to accept drinking according to the study, he said.
houses, the only class of women tested.
As did Miss Williamson, Prof. Baur raised a question about confusion on the part of the persons tested. There were four categories into which the respondent was asked to fit his response to a question—ethically or morally right, generally acceptable, generally unacceptable, and ethically and morally wrong.
THERE ARE FOUR kinds of responses here. And, "They are not mutually exclusive," Prof. Baur said. One kind of response has to do with social concepts, the other with ethical concepts, he said. In order to do away with the confusion caused by this classification. Prof. Baur suggested combining positive and negative responses. This would leave only two classifications to interpret.
Miss Behen had done this in presenting the data to the audience when the results were announced.
"I think the phrasing of the questions is good-simple and clear, Prof. Baur said.
