Swimmers Battle Pool—
(Continued from page 1)
ing board is 10 inches below the regulation one-meter height.
The spectators at swimming meets are also affected by the cramped conditions. Reamon said out of the 150-200 people who attend a swimming meet, about 75 of them get wet when the swimmers dive into the water.
Men and women spectators must use different doors to the pool because they go through men's and women's locker rooms. Sometimes there is a mix-up. Then an embarrassing situation develops.
Finally, those swim fans who do not mind getting wet, suffer the threat of suffocation. The humidity around the pool, obviously, is high.
There is no ventilation, and about halfway through the meet, the atmosphere becomes noticeably stuffy.
AS IF ALL THIS were not enough, the swimmers have a hard time getting to practice in the pool. It is being used continuously from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. by groups ranging from the Red Cross to faculty members.
The problems caused by inadequate pool facilities may be nearing an end. By September of 1965 a new gymnastium is scheduled to be completed.

Reamon said hopes are now that the pool in the new gym will be 75 feet long and 45 feet wide. There would be a high enough ceiling to have both a one and three meter diving board.
Bleachers for spectators would be larger, and they would be placed far enough back to avoid anyone being soaked by the swimmers' splash.
Reamon hopes that these bleachers would be raised above the floor around the pool so fans would not have to track through the water surrounding the pool.
When asked if anything had been planned on the building to replace Robinson Gymnasium, Keith Lawton, vice-chancellor of operations, replied, "nothing."
Prof. Shenk said plans for a building to replace Robinson Gym would be presented to the Board of Regents in the near future.

Power Politics Unaltered Despite UN, Harris Says
Under the League of Nations and the United Nations, world politics was and still is power politics, Errol E. Harris, professor of philosophy, said last night in his second lecture in the series on the conditions of peace.
"Due to the legal and constitutional character of these two institutions, international politics can hardly be any different from what it was before 1914," he said. The major power powers have often perverted the UN and used it as a relatively pacific vehicle for the achievement, or attempted achievement of their own goals, he said.
As other examples of power politics in disguise, Harris cited the Suez Canal crisis, the Berlin blockade, and the Cuban crisis.
Often times, Harris said, this misuse of the UN for power politics has gone under the guise of "police action." When North Korea attacked South Korea in 1950, what developed was a power confrontation of the two world powers, he said.
Prior to the division of Korea directly after World War II, both the United States and the Soviet Union claimed jurisdiction over the whole of Korea. "Here was a direct power confrontation by the two major world powers," he said.
After the UN intervened, none of the neutral nations provided troops. "It was clearly a war between the two blocs," he said.
conclude that the UN is useless. It has the potentiality for developing into something quite different."
"Butt," he said, "we shouldn't
He indicated two possible "growing points" for the UN: The now almost forgotten proposal for an international atomic development authority and repetition of the successful action taken in the Congo from which the great powers were excluded from the UN emergency forces.
