I UN'S WEAKNESSES Eagleton To By PEG BARTUNEK Staff Writer What are strength and weak nesses of the United Nations charter? This and other questions per tinent of the UN will be dis cussed by Dr. Clyde Eagleton, professor of international law at New York university, when he appears before the Nebraska University Council on World Affairs model UN conference beginning April 3.

It consists of five points: 1. Candidates for political of fice may be afforded facilities of the University on the theory that such speakers are a part of the University's educational program. i. ine convocations committee is not taking the initiative in in-1 viting any candidate to speak but wm consiaer requests emanating from the candidate himself or his representatives. The facilities of the University and the cooperation of the convocations committee will be advanced only to candidates for national political office. 3. The convocation commit tee wishes to avoid the appear ance of giving University aid and comfort to any particular candidate or party. Therefore, the committee will insist (a) that each political speaker be in troduced by a member of the faculty or administrative staff; (b) that each speaker confine himself to discussing current is sues of national importance and not descend to the level of a vul gar political rally. 4. It is understood that the committee cannot guarantee the availability of a hall for perform ance of this kind. 5. It is further understood that programs of this nature are in ad dition to the regularly scheduled program of convocations and that classes cannot be dismissed for a political speaker, should his ap pearance occur during class time. it is the intent of the committee that those speeches be given in the evening. Other members of, the convoca tions committee are Dr. George Rosenlof;-Dr. LeRoy Laase, Dr. Frank Sorenson, Duane Lake, Ju lius Cohen, Lynn Kunkel, and Bob LaShelle.
