TRIBUNAL RECOMMENDS WARNING
The Student Tribunal recommended
Warren Warning, Business Administra
tion senior, for "selling English final ex
aminations" on Thursday.
The son of Mr. and Mrs. Z. L. Warn
ing, formerly of Halsey and now of Be
atrice, New Zealand (it makes no dif
ference), Warren is former president of
his pledge class, member of the dorm
food line, present chairman of the Stu
dent. Council committee on placards, and
past University representative to the 1958
Harlan County Dam committee on water
shedding. Following graduation Warren is
interested in going into leadership.
Dean J. P. Colburt said that he broke
Into the office ef an unidentified instruc
tor January 28, jimmyed the office door
latch and lock, and smashed the front
panel of a locked filing cabinet drawer.
He laid that he later approached five stu
dents and offered the English final at $5
a copy.
"Copies of old English exams are avail
able to any student upon request," said
Dr. Dudley Dailey, associate professor of
English. "What's that old devil think he's
doing?"
As for other rumors that this year's
copy of the English 3 or B final was out
over a week before the exam, Dr. Dailey
had this to say:
"I too, yes, I too heard those rumors.
However," he chuckled, "I did not make
op the final until but a few hours short
of the exam," he laughed tearfully, "and
it was a chicken-licken!"
Dailey added that one irate English
student had called him several days be
fore finals and demanded to know why
the English department was giving out
copies of exams to athletes.
"This accusation," screamed Daily, "is
false!"
He continued, "Whadya think we're
doingcatering to those lugheads? We
believe in making them show a little ini
tiative. If'in they wan 'em, they can come

This is the first of a
series of write-ups I plan
to do during the current
semester on some of the
46 countries represented
on our campus.
India has the largest
cumber of students total
ling 43. It is a vast coun
try with a large variety
of people, languages, re
ligions, customs, eating
habits, and way of life in
general. Her civilization
is among the oldest in the
world; tu&ike some other
ancient civilizations which
have decayed and disap
peared, it has maintained
a continuous tradition
changing but fundamen
tally unbroken to the
present day.
This civilization dates
to nearly 5,000 years
back; excavations have
revealed well-planned
cities, orderly chic ad
ministration, superb ipec
imens of arts and crafts,
developed architecture
which included houses of
burnt bricks, baths, gran
aries, underground drain
age and wide roads, and
a people who had evolved
a form of writing.
In India, there is a "co
existence of centuries." It
seems to me this is a re
markably apt phrase for

I'm no mailman besides, we're hurtin'
for paper."
"This semester, we let the student keep
his copy of the English final in hopes
that we can prevent some of the un
healthy excitement which occurred before
the exam this year," Dailey concluded.
"Of course, we'll have to come down a
bit from last year's price now, but such
is the system."
When students were handed the final in
sociology 53, one of the instructors heard
a student exclaim "This is it!" said soci
ology professor Nicholas Babchuk. "Of
course it is," replied the instructor,
"whadya think we're runnin' over here
some fly-by-night! And you still owe
$5.50 on the last hour exam, so shaddup
your mouth."
"Over 90 percent of my students cheat
ed in a PE 75 final," reported one In
structor, who did not wish his name to
be used. "Although I do not think that it
is a record," he added, "it's a pretty
good average.
"Students had known far in advance of
the final that some people in the class
were planning to cheat on the exam," he
said, "so there wasn't a reason in the
world why we couldn't have hit 100 per
cent. I figure gross revenue could have
been $50 to $75 higher if everyone would
have cooperated."
Most students admitted that the cheat
ing student did not hurt the superior stu
dent's grades by the former's actions.
"Wait though until we get them eggheads
outside of class out there on the ice
though ho!" They said that the one who
gets hurt is the average or medium stu
dent who hovered between a 4 or 5 on a
test scale. "Tough cranberries," they said.
I know of several cheating syndicates
on campus," said Roger Dodson, presi

Variety is infinite in
India; variety in customs,
habits and dress ; in
thought and religious be

philosophical approach to
the modern world; in
climate and topography;
in nature's abundance and
its harsh deprivation; in
the life of the forest and
the Jungles and the great
expanse of the Gangetic

Color has its own signif
icance in peoples lives.
This, Nature has laid on
with a bountiful hand and,
their natural surroundings,
the people have made it
a part of their lives.
In northern India, all
through the winter
months, one is surrounded
by a great profusion of
flowers to be followed in
the spring by the flame-of-the-f
orest, by the purple
jacaranda, the bougain

Then on a grand scale
one sees the white maj
esty of the Himalayas,

south, the scene changes
to the blue Nilgris with
their lovely mountain pas
tures; then still farther
south along the Malabar

dense, tropical growth
and the backwaters of
Kerala silvered in the
light of a full moon.
And this color of tree
and flower and plumage,
of the eternal snows tinged
with the rising or the set
ting sun has been adapted
by the people, especially
by the women of India,
into their dress. The lovely
colored Saris of the women

are shown off by the
dignity of their carriage
and the grace of their
walk. The gaily colored
skirts of the Rajasthan
village swing graceful
ly as they sometimes carry
three water jugs on their
heads with perfect balance
and poise.
To the uninitiated West
ern man the Saris seem
to have added charm
for here is a form of
dress, he says to himself,
which never goes cut of
style. How wonderful to
have his wife and his I
pocketbook free of the
tyranny of the ever-chang- 1
ing styles of the dress de- 1

New York or London!
He soon learns, however,
that styles in Saris change
too; that last year's de- I
signs or those of two or
three years ago may not
do at all this year; and so
he feels a kinship with his
brother in India who also,
perhaps complaining a lit- I
tie, delights to see his
wife's beauty adorned by
a lovely costume.
Then there is the phe-
nomenon of climate. It
has had an important in-
fluence on the life and
history of the sub-conti-

of the Himalayas on the
north has been a shield
which has warded off the

DEMOCRAT
by gary owens
Over the past year a
growing amount of senti
ment has bem voiced
within this country con
try concerning our pres
ent role in the U.N. While
ndl entirely a partisan
question, those pundits
who have become increas
ingly vociferous in con
demning the U.N. in gen
eral and the U.S. position
cerning the world organi
zation in particular, have
come from within the
ranks of the Republican
Party.
The Democratic view
point, on the other hand,
recognizes the various in
trinsic weaknesses In the
U.N. yet it considers the
United Nations to be the
primary framework
around which a more eft
fective world instrument
may gradually be built
and advocates a general
strengthening of that
body.
Recently, the U.N.
question has centered
around two problems; the
Congo and the President's
proposal that the U.S.
take $100 million worth of
the $200 million U.N. bond
issue.
V a r i o u 8 Republican
spokesmen, including sen
ators Dirksen, Tower,
and Goldwater, have crit
icized U.S. support of the
U.N.'s actions in the Con
golese dispute. This is
based on the assumption
that because Mr.
Tshombe proclaims him
self to be staunchly anti
communist and because
he has pleaded the
right of self-determination,
he is being wrong
fully coerced into joining
the central government
by a nation which "has
traditionally held these
self-same policies.
H o w e v e r, the record
does not support Tshom
be's principle of self-determination,
nor does it
point out any clear char
acterization of the sides
in the Congo struggle; as
being either pro- or anti
communist. The people
of Katanga, along with
the other Congolese prov
inces, were granted the
right of self-determination
when all the political par
ties ef the Congo (Mr.
Tshombe's I n c 1 a d e d )
agreed in February, 1960
to the erection of a Con
golese government which
would constitute an "inde
pendent state ... of one
and the same national
ity". Moreover, there is liltle
evidence that tha pecple
of Katanga presmtly a
vor Tshombe's tacess ,n
ist policy, due to the t ict
that the last provincial
election came out strongly
against separation.
The communist ques
tion, as r e g ax d s the
belligerent factions, seems '
a rather ambiguous one
when it is noted that the
supposedly pro-communist
Lumumba made his first
appeal for outside aid to
the U.S. and that the
"anti-communist" Tshom
be, as recently as July,
1961, was knocking on the
Soviet door for support.
Such caution or absten
tion as has been recom
mended by many Repub
licans concerning our as- -sistance
to the Adoula
government through the
U.N. does merit some re
spect. However, it does
not tell us how what
needs to be done is to be
done; how Tshombe will
be persuaded to cooperate
with the central govern
ment, how permanent or
der is to be restored, how
a viable economic and ad
ministrative machine is to
be constructed, or by
whom. For it is highly
probable, that if the mili
tary pressure on Tshom
be that has been imposed
by the U.N. were to be
lifted at this moment,
force will be Imposed by
others and with far more
serious consequences.
. It would be as equal a
misconception to state that
the U.N. has done little in
contributing to world
peace as Senator Gold
water's assertion that "the
world is not ready" for
such an organization. As
proof of the effectiveness
of the U.N. in the past
and as vindication of its
existence in the future,
one need only mention Its
checking of aggression in
Korea, it obtaining a
cease-fire in Indonesia and v
the independence 'for that .
nation which followed, its
role la the cessation of the
communist inspired civil
war in Greece, the cease
fire and armistice which
it brought about in Pal
estine, its quelling of hos
tilities in the Suex dispute.
its preventing the out
break of violence over the
Arab regugee problem,
and its handling of many
other equally dangerous
situations.
To abandon the United
Nations as an instrument
of effecting world peace,
as many within the Re
' publican Party kve re
cently advocate. ;vd to
launch out once more into
the perilous field of inter
national power politics
would inevitably result in
a situation analogous to
1914 and 1939 this time
with the fate of mankind
hanging in the balance. '
"Those who would aban
don this imperfect world
instrument," P r e s i dent
Kennedy has said, would
do so "because they dis
like our imperfect worlds
For the troubles of the
world organization merely

the world itself." The

behind its chief spokes-'
man in declaring that al
though the U.S. may not
always agree with every
U.N. action, the U.N. has
no "stronger or more
faithful member than the
United States of Amer

Here re some interest
ing facts that I have run
across concerning United
Nations activities in Ka
tanga and the reasons
why we cannot support
the United Nations bond
issue.
The Congo gained its in
dependence in June, 1960.
Moise. Tshombe, Presi
dent of Katanga, has been
the West's one dependa
ble friend in the Congo.
He resisted Lumumba
and Gizenga, Communist
stooges who attempted to
make the Congo Red. Ka
tanga enjoyed prosperity,
a rising standard of living,
and progress in develop
ment of its economic po
tential, as is verified by
the fact that on July 11,
1961, the first anniversary
of Katanga's autonomy,
the first great internation
al fair ever to be held in
Central Africa was opened
at Elisabethville, Katan
ga. It is the wealthiest
Congo province, produc
ing about 45 of the Con
go's revenues, about 60
of its export income, and
nearly 70 of the world's
cobalt.
The peace was short
lived. On September 13,
the forces of the United
Nations invaded Katanga
in an attempt to bring it
back into the Central Gov
ernment which had
proved its inability to
govern and to protect
Congolese interests from
Communist inroads.
The UN forces attacked
Katanga with astonishing
violence. The aggressors
spared no civilians, mas
sacring many innocent
citizens, leaving hundreds
of families without shelter
and work, and razed
churches, schools and hos
pitals. These UN actions
changed prosperous Ka
tanga into a sick and crip
pled nation.
Last March the U.S.
and the U.N. squelched
the one hopeful sign for
Congo unity. Tshombe and
other leaders of the var
ious provinces met in Mal
agasy to draft an agree
ment for a confederation
of states, which was agree
able to all the provinces
except the pro-Communist
Stanleyville regime of Gi
zenga. The U.S., in spite
of the obvious advantages
of a pro-western coalition

in the Congo, refused to
accept anything less than
a strong centralized govern
ment. Without U.S. sup
port for a Congolese fed
eration, Leopoldville Pre
mier Kasavubu reneged on
--the coalition and agreed
with the U.N. on forcing
Katanga to join the Cen
tral Government, thus be
ginning the assault on Ka
tanga. Throughout the entire
operation, President Ken
nedy has supported the
U.N. U.S. planes brought
reinforcements of arms
and material to the UN
forces, and the money of
American taxpayers was
used to finance the UN's
action to the tune of 73
cents out of every dollar
raised by the UN to smash
Katanga.
On July 10, the U.S.
delegation handed the UN
a check for $32,204,061,
nearly three-fourths of the
total cost, as the American
contribution for the opera
tions in the Congo from
Jan. 1 to Oct. 31, 1961.
The extra cash for the UN
invasion of Katanga came
from U.S. Government
funds previously appropri
ated for UNICEF, but
were temporarily lent to
the support of UN armed
aggression. As usual, the
Soviet Union has contrib
uted nothing.
By these actions, Ken
nedy and his UN Ambass
ador Adlai Stevenson have
weakened the U.S. position
in the eyes of its allies
and have aided the Soviet
Union in its drive to con
quer the Congo.
Concerning the Katanga
affair, Republican National
Chairman William Miller
of New York states that:
"The national interest of
the United States requires
a deep Congressional in
vestigation of United States
Congo policy a policy
which seems to have the
effect of helping the Soviet
Union against Western in
terests including the posi
tions of some of our
staunchest allies. Ameri
can money, men, planes,
equipment and avowed
policy are being used to
punish anti-Communist Ka
tanga." The Katanga action has
left the UN treasury in
the red. Unpaid assess
ments for this invasion
alone amount to about
$58,000,000 unpaid budget
assessments, $22,000,000
and in addition $26,000,000
borrowed from its work
ing capital fund and other
special accounts.
In order to save itself
the UN has issued $200,

years. This "mag.
nificent1' proposal has
overwhelmed our Presi
dent, which of course, led
to his suggestion to Con
gress that the U.S. buy
$100,000,000 worth of these
bonds.
The purchase of these
bonds by the U.S. would
make a large amount of
money unconditionally
available to the irre
sponsible present Secre
tariat and would endorse,
in public political effect,
the conduct of the UN
that has resulted in the
deficit: that is, the ag.
gression against Katanga
the main source of the
money trouble.
In conclusion, we call '
for the promised congres

ly by a qualified select
committee' and the defeat
of Kennedy's $100,000,000
UN bond proposal.
