xnixed the mock session of the
UN General Assembly Saturday.
Fifty-one delegates from 23
countries participated in the three
day conference beginning Thurs

Ruth Seabury and ending Saturday
morning with adjournment of the
Third Plenary Session.
A United States resolution abol

Kennison introduced the resolution
by saying the veto power defeated
the will of the majority and pre
vents swift action in the mainte
nance of international peace and
justice.
"The purpose of the Security
Council is to represent all human
ity, not just the will of the major
ity," Kennison declared.
Claus-Dieter von Schumann,
member of the Russian delegation,
called the resolution a "mere prop
aganda trick" to interest small
countries and to facilitate world
aggression.
The neutrality of the region be
tween Formosa and the mainland
of China and the right to enforce
this neutrality by any measure
deemed fit was adopted in the
United States resolution by a vote
of 7-5, with two abstentions.

The Russian delegation stalked
from the General Assembly floor

area) but I can see the Seventh

peace the United States should be
called the aggressor."
A committee of India, Turkey,
and Canada was set up to con
sider the United States resolution
that the United Nations enforce
economic and political sanctions
against Communist China if the
American airmen imprisoned by
Red China are not released.
Recommendation of the commit

China for release of the airmen.
Dr. William Jordan, official of
the United Nations, said in a
Thursday night banquet address,
that reality depends on the spirit
of actions of member nations of
the UN.
"The machinery of the United
Nations has been set up to settle
disputes," Dr. Jordan said, "and
the UN is an ultimate council of
political action."

Blizzard Wins
W Debaters Finally 'Snowed'
Ht Denver University Journey
By BARB SHARP
Staff Writer
For once in their lives, usually
glib University debaters discover
ed they couldn't talk their way
out of a dilemma.
Ten debaters, ocbate coach
Donald Olson and speech assistant
Ruth Michaelson were snowed in
while attending a debate tourna
ment in Denver Friday and Satur
day. The snow began Thursday
evening and continued steadily un
til late Saturday evening when
an approximate 15 inches blanket
ed the area.
Although the snow was beneficial
to Denver and the surrounding
area's water supply, it was not
considered an aid for travel. To
make matters worse, the Colorado
Highway Patrol was not the least
affected by the quick tongues of
the Conhuskers as they made re
peated calls to the Patrol about
clearing the roads. Officials merely
told then to enjoy their additional
day in Denver . Sunday, although
they had planned to leave on
Saturday.
Strain On Budget
Olson remarked that this was
the major disadvantage of the
storm because the additional stay
pui an "unexpected strain" on the
debate budget. However, the de
baters were not daunted by the
knee-deep snow.
The debaters even managed to
absorb some culture during their
prolonged stay in Denver. "We
went to hear Marian Anderson at
her concert there," said Jack
Rogers, "but honestly, we went
only because we forgot that George
Gobel was on television that
night."
In spite of their failure to com
bat the elements, the debaters
had much more success at con
vincing judges at the tournament.
In the senior division, two teams
tied with three other schools for
first place in the wins and losses
rating. The teams of Jack Rogers,
Ken Philbrick and Dick Fellman
Jere McGaffey won five and lost
one. Jerry Igou and Norman
Alexander won three and lost
three.
In the junior division, the teams
of Bruce Brugmann -Dick Andrews
and Ken Siekman - Roger Berger
also won five rounds and lost one.
They tied for first place in their
division.

Housing Advisory Committee
To Plan Health Code For NU
By ROGER WAIT
Staff Writer
The first housing code specifical
ly designed for universities is being
developed at the University, Tom
Gable, public health engineer for
University Health Services, said
Monday.
Although the University has vari
ous regulations concerning housing,
he said, the code currently being
developed is the first from the
health standpoint.
Members of the Student Housing
Advisory Committee will represent
all types of student housing, Gable
said, adding that he code will be
written with the committee's full
co-operation. All University build
ings as well as student housing
will come under the jurusdiction of
the code.
Surveys Housing
After coming to the University
in May, 1953, Gable surveyed quar
ters of students who room in Lin
coln homes. Some of them, he
found, resembled "old missions."
In the winter of 1953-54, Gable
secured Administration approval to
investigate other types of student
bousing. In the spring of 1954, he
surveyed living facilities in fratern
ities, sororities, dormitories and co
op houses, submitting a report to
the Administration in June.
Late last year, Gable received
the administration's approval to
draw a code implementing Section
XIII of the Official Sanitary Code
of the University, which states:
"Student Housing: Standards of
safety and sanitation for all stu
dent housing may be established."
Overcrowding
The housing code will take into
consideration basic principles of
healthful housing by meeting funda-

mental physiological and psycho
logical needs and providing protec
tion against contagion and acci
dents. In his survey, Gable found only
a few shortcomings regarding ac
cident prevention, but conditions of
minor overcrowding exist in a few
places.
Emphasising that there will not
be rigid enforcement of the hous
ing code, Gable said that student
housing will instead be inspected
periodically.
Conditions in need of correction
will be reported to the owner or
operator of the property where they
are found, he said. If corrective
measures are not taken, he added,
a report will then be submitted to
the Dean of Student Affairs.
Eventually, Gable hopes to have
each house make private inspection
and send a report directly to Uni
versity Health Services.
Once the advisory committee has
finished writing the code, Gable
said he looks forward to having it
help with the maintenance of hous
ing standards.
The Student Housing Advisory
resentatives from organizations
concerned with the operation of
student housing. The committee
will meet regularly to consider
standards which they think would
apply to student living quarters
and to draw up the housing code.
"Students are interested in
healthful housing," Gable said,
"and we're looking for contribu
tions from them."
He stressed that the code will be
written with the full co-operation of
the student committee, which will
choose its chairman at its first
meeting in the near future.
Representing the PanheDenic
Council on the committee will be
Cynthia Henderson and Helene
Sherman; the Alumni Interfraier
nity Council will be represented by
Dr? J. R. Louden and E. C. Dewey
and the Panhellenic Advisory Board
