Shooting
Rocks
Assembly
Cuban Rebel
Quells Motion
Gunshots resounded through
the Mode! United Nations as
sembly room Friday after
noon as Cuban rebel Jack
Fager assassinated the rep
resentative of the Cuban gov
ernment. The representative. Jim
Pokorny, was then dragged
out of the room.
Uprising
The uprising came when
Pokorny took the floor to sup
port a motion for the UN to
intervene against Castro.
The motion had earlier
been put to a test when India
made a motion to strike it
from the agenda. The com
plexity of the motion, how
ever, caused it to be defeated.
After the shooting, the Cu
ban problem was stricken
from the agenda.
Moyer Speaks
Prior to the debate on in
ternational problems, George
Moyer, secretary-general of
he NUCWA-sponsored model
General Assembly, addressed
the assembly.
After thanking the dele
gates for honoring him with
the office, Moyer stated that
't he UN is the only organiza
tion in the world that has the
mechanism inherent within it
to prevent World War HI."
"For this reason." he add
ed, "studying the UN in class
rooms and in mock confer
ences must continue to be a
part of the nation's educa
tion." "It is only through sitting
down in sessions like this,
mock and real, that we can
come to a better understand
ing of the problems our na
tions face," he concluded.
After the assembly calmed
down from the frenzy caused
by the shooting, the remain
der of items on the agenda
were discussed.
Space Control
A motion regarding the
control of outer space was
passed. According to this mo
tion, outer space will be treat
ed like the high seas and con
trolled by international law.
No nation will be allowed to
claim a planet as their own.
A combined motion on in
ternational disarmament and
the removal of troops was
stricken from the agenda
when Its originators failed to
attend the meeting. The orig
nators were Russia and
China.
After heated discussion, the
question of repatriation of
Palestinian refugees was re
ferred to committee. This was
Jone because it was felt that
no decision could be reached
on the floor because of con
flicting interests.
Dick Fellman, chairman of
the assembly, ended the 1958
session of the Model UN by
summarizing the progress of
the past three days.

Dr. Brown, explaining t h e
experiment, said:
-According to the theory of
Burnet in Australia, the tis -
sues of the body learn in em-
bryo what is self-tissue
and
what is foreign tissue.
-'By giving foreign protein
(the tubercle bacillus) in em
bryo, the tissues might be
fooled' into thinking the bac
teria are sell-tissues rather
than foreign.'"

when the mature chicken re
ceives a dose of the bacilli,
he will probably rear;! to it
