The education committee of the
National Panhellenic conference
recently issued a bulletin authored
by Mary B. Merritt, dean of
women at the University of Miami,
which explained the purpose of
UNESCO and showed its relation
to the American college.
Mcrritt Gives Credit to

In the bulletin. Miss Merritt
gave full credit to material found
in a bulletin of the Association
UNESCO CONFERENCE CHAIRMEN, BOB NICHOLS AND
SHIRI-tY SABIN, are digging into the knotty problems of the
campus-wide project. The conference Mill be held Feb. 16, 17 and
18, but the preliminary work is already rolling.
of American Colleges. This dis- .
cussion of UNESCO was written I
by Laurence Dugan, president of
the Institute of International Ed-
ucation, and Francis S. Hutchins,
president of Berca College.
Dr. Dugan. in this bulletin
backed by the Association of i
American Colleges, states that col- j
leges are the natural vehicles I
through which UNESCO should !
work since they are engaged, in j
the words of the UNESCO pre- !
amble, in the "unrestricted pur
suit of objective truth and free
exchange of ideas and knowledge."
Dugan wrote that in the colleges
lay the responsibility ior assist
ing their communities in under
standing international lelations.

Says Simmons
Robert G. Simmons, chiel jus
tice of the Nebraska supreme
court, addressed the 29th annua!
meeting of the American Society
for Engineering Education being
held on the campus Friday.
Judge Simmons told the group
of 150 engineering educators from
Kansas and Nebraska that the
courts of Russia exist lor the pro
tection ot the party in power.
He quoted a soviet informa
tion bulletin published in 1 94.5
saying that Ix-nin looked upon
the courts of justice as a means
of instilling discipline and scll
discipline into the masses and
that the courts must be organized
on democratic lines compatible
with Hie piinriples ol soviet
power.
"That power is the power ol
the communi. t party," Judge Sim
mons said. "The courts ol Rus
sia are organs ol the dictatorship
of lliat paity.
"I find no refeience in Rus
sia's constitution to the right ot j
trial by jury or the right to the I
writ of habacs corpus.
Judge Simmons summarized by
saying, "Aside fiom the iicld of
private litigation, the courts of
the United States exist to protect
the people from the unauthorized
power ol the government. The
courts of Russia exbt to protect
the government from that power
that, by our standards, lightly
rests in the people.
Dr. Dugan continued, the estab
lishment of an international as
sociation of universities to pro
mote the scientific study of the
tensions which potentially lead to
war, was suggested. He insisted
that it is up to the universities
to take the initiative in promoting
UNESCO, in the revision of curri
culum, the enlistment of student
interest in their fellow students
from abroad, provision of infor
mation on international relations

in the community and the de
velopment of the exchange of stu
dents and professions.
Hutchins Advocates Similar
Principles
Dr. Hutchins advocated prin
ciples similar to those set forth
by Dr. Dugan in addition to mak
ing suggestions for receiving for
eign students. He suggested that
American students gain some
knowledge of the foreign student's
abilities and interests before he
leaves his own country and that
a counselor be appointed to work
with each student. He encouraged
student government and groups
to introduce the students to nor
mal American home life and
campus life. He indicated his be
lief that the colleges, in their
campus programs and community
contacts, should lay stress upon
the need for understanding be
tween peoples and give full pub
licity to their own programs, those
of the government and UNESCO.

Don Bloom tallied the longest run
of the day, driving 82 yards down
the center of the field for a touch
down with one minute left in the
fourth period. Bloom gathered in

The Chancellor recently re

was a member of a four-man

invited by the Swedish gov
ernment to celebrate the cen

migration to the mid-west.
Strussling for Good Life
"Here is a people who are
struggling to maintain the go.d
life." the Chancellor said. 'It is
difficult to judge the success of
another nation by our own stand
ards. When we attempt to analvve
a nation we should consider three
points: freedom, efticiency, rec
reation." m
The people ol Sweden have

iency. It has invaded nut only
the sciences but abu fields of
social welfare.
Government Owns Hospitals
"Hospitals are government
owned and operated. Fees for
serviie are very small, abuui 33
cents per day," he said.
Science is applied to every del 1
of endeavor. Lumber industries,
iron mining, transportation and
agriculture all benefit from scien
tific research.
"Education is based on the as
sumption that if men are liee t
find the truth, they will find the
truth," lie added. "For this reason
Swedish students are extremely
interested in UNESCO. They know
what it means to have universi
ties blasted f.o the ground. I am
very happy to know that students
on our own campus are taking a
similar interest in world affairs."
