of the world to celebrate its

Iranians also gave every month
a specific name and celebrated
every month. They believed there
were four days in each month
which were dedicated to God, and
the rest of the mpnth belonged to
the angels.

Finding s speaker for a program
is no joke, according to Rev. Rich

Since late September, Nutt and

be March 23 to 27.
Eleven or 12 persons have
been contacted by Rev. Nutt in
locating a major platform

We also arrange a table cloth

also seven foods with the letter

We serve many kinds of can

of olive, willow, pomegranite and
quince trees. Formerly the people
wrote the words "affluence" and
"joyful" on these twigs. At that
time everyone was, happy and all
the people drrnk wine and danced.
Now not all of the people drink
wine.
Another custom in Iran which
still remains is that all persons
must clean their houses and
change their clothings. The people
go to visit, give gifts and kiss each
other. Another custom we had was
under the name "catch men,"
when every wife's quest should

Six suggestions to enlarge the

members end model conference
delegates by Professor N. L. Hill
of the Political Science depart

The following suggestions,
Hill said, would almost com
pletely eliminate the Security
Council and with it, veto power.
1. Give the General Assembly
authority to admit new members
to UN with a two-thirds vote.
2. Allow the General Assembly,
by two-thirds vc
to decide
which of two claimant govern
ments get the seat of a member
nation.
3. Let the General Assembly
set up a committee which could
send groups to any part of the
world for information desired at
any time.
4. Amend the amendment proc
esses to provide for final ratifica
tion by two-thirds vote of the
General Assembly only. This
would eliminate a clause calling
for ratification by the General
Assembly including the perman
ent Big Five nations.
5. Allow .he General Assem
bly a guard force of considerable
size which it could employ where
or whenever it saw fit.
6. Give the General Assembly
authority to nullify a treaty
which in the opinion of the As
sembly, is unworkable.

Problems
The student interest committee
has sent letters to the presidents
of 75 campus organizations in
cluding activities and - houses. .
These letters are an attempt to
test the actual student support for
the program.
At the recent Candidate Officers ,
Election, this committee passed
out College Days . questionalres
with the ballots.
The questions were: Do you
think College Days should con
tinue? If so, should it be of in
terest to high school students, :
University students or both?
Should open houses be included?
Should the program be educa
tional, recreational or both?
The results of this poll will be
released with the results of the
present poll of campus organiza
tions. Last year, Relchenbach ex
plained in reference to the high
school committee, prep students
were not allowed out of class to
come to the University because of
a ruling by the NHSAA.
The committee, he said, ex
plained in conference that Col
lege Days was planned to congre
gate the many different reasons
for high school migration to the
University into one time.
This year, according to Rerchen-
bach, there has been ho actual
objection but the NHSAA has
strongly suggested that all activ
ity for high school students begin
Friday afternoon.
The idea of presenting a pic

public has not been given up,
