founded on the campus as a purely

spirit, and later evolved into a
men's senior honorary for activi

Discussions
United World Federalists will
hold a discussion meeting at 7
p. m. today to discuss the ques
tion, ' Representation in a Feder
al World Government." Herman
Turk, student of economic and
international affairs, will lead
the open discussion and will in
troduce the topic.
The members of the United
World Federalists subscribe to the
theory that people rather than
nations should be represented in
any international organization that
is to be capable of maintaining
world peace, according to public
ity chairman Gene Berman. They
believe in the necessity of all peo
ple feeling the sense of world
unity, as was pointed out by Lt.
Governor Crosby previously this
year at a UWF sponsored convo
cation, Berman said.
Questions.
Standing opposed to the "one
nation one vote" formula and veto
counter-balance that is the ar
rangement in the United Nations,
Federalists are asked "How is a
representation that is acceptable to
all nations to be found?" It is
questions of this character on
which tonight's discussion will
center.
The entire basic principles of
the federal system of government
and the belief by members of the
UWF that an international author
ity should have restricted jurisdic
tion over individuals will un
doubtedly be brought into the dis
tfession, for such questions are in
terlocked In the overall topic of
representation, stated Berman.
The meeting is open to all stu
dents and members of the faculty.
