Meeting
organized campus group will be
asked to represent one of the 44
nations in the UNESCO program.
Members of the group will be
expected to become familiar with
social conditions in the country
of their choice. The information
will be made available through
movies, foreign students, pamph
lets, special speakers and infor
mal seminars.
Six leaders will be chosen to
represent each nation on one of
the six commissions which cover
the fields: education, educational
crateive arts, natural sciences,
social sciences. These commission
groups will meet before the plen
ary session to formulate world
policies governing the fields .in
volved. These policies will be pre
sented by the chairmen of each
commission at the plenary session.
The formal presentation of the
policy will be followed by open
debate.
House presidents have been con
tacted and asked to present the
proposal to their groups. Each or
ganized group will then be ex
pected to select a UNESCO chair
man and compile a preference list
of five countries they would like
to represent with reasons for the
choice. From the list of five pre
ferences the committee will assign
a country to each organized group.
The project is designed to be an
educational experiment," Miss Sa
bin said. "If 100 percent campus
co-operation is secured the pro
gram may be extended to the en
tire state. In this case, all out-state
colleges will be asked to partici
pate in the same capacity as the
organized houses."
Groups who wish to participate
but not as countries will be asked
to act as pressure groups working
with a specific commission. Groups
who wish to act in this capacity
must contact one of the co-chairmen.
Approval of the project by the
student council was secured at
last Wednesday's council meeting.
Dr. Sorenson, teachers college,
will serve as faculty advisor for
the conference.

Corsages In Order
Corsages for your lucky man
are definitely in order. They are
your chance to prove that femi
nine ingenuity and imagination is
greater than ever before. You'd
better start looking for a canary
cage, a halter and bridle, donkey
ears, or how about some gas
filled balloons that float in the
upper regions of the coliseum?
Don't forget to start scouting for
some fancy transportation for that
"man of the year". Of course, if
you can t find anything classy,
just remember they came in
wheelbarrows and with pogo
sticks last year!
