THE DAILY NEBRASKAN THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1969 PAGE 4 International clubs dissolve; new group is structured by Bachiftar Singh Nebraskan Staff Writer ; At the request of Sam Bioku, president of NIA (Nebraska Interna tional Association), and Larry Hol bein, president of PTP (People to People) a joint committee was ap pointed last semester to look into the possibility of combining both organizations. At the conclusion of its inquiry, the merging committee suggested last Sunday that instead of merging the two organizations, they be dissolved and a newiy structured International Club be formed. IT WAS ALSO suggested that a steering committee be formed to start drafting a preliminary constitution for a new organization and prepare for election of officers before the end of the semester. A meeting of NIA and PTP ex ecutives approved setting up the new International Club. F. H. Hermes, a member of the merging committee, said that any person interested in international af fairs and activities could sign up for this committee in the Foreign Students Office. THE PROPOSED organization would go through the organizational steps this semester. It will start func tioning next semester. According to Hermes, this will allow NIA and PTP to carry on their plans made for this semester. A numbe of reasons were given U to provide coeducational fencing class for second year The days of sword-wielding knights are dead. Through the cooperation of the Women's Physical Education Depart ment, a co-recreational fencing class for both beginners and advanced students is now being formed, ac cording to Jerry Novak, a fencing in structor with the Men's P.E. Depart ment. The class starts with an organiza tional meeting next Tuesday at 7 p.m. In 301 Women's P.E. Building and will continue for nine consecutive Tuesdays at 7 p.m. NOVAK ADDED that all equipment except tennis shoes, will be furnished for the fencing club, which is designed for recreation and fun.

Masters Week program scheduled for April 20-22 Yes, there will be a "Masters Week" again this year. Preparations are being made by Innocents and Mortar Boards instead of ASUN as in past years, according to Cheryl Tritt, co-chairman. The purpose of Masters Week, April 20-22, is to return outstanding and prominent graduates of the University to the campus for three days. They will discuss with students their personal formulas of success and current job opportunities that are available. However, to make the affair go well, sophomore guides are needed to serve on publicity and arrangement committees and to guide the masters around campus, according to Miss Tritt. Interested sophomores may get application blanks on the bulletin board opposite the Nebraska Union basement auditorium, she said. Deadline for applications is Wednes day, Feb. 12. - The masters will make ap pearances at most of the living units on campus. There will be receptions and dinners held during which students may talk with the masters. In addition, they will hold lectures and discussions with the departments in their field. They are also scheduled to appear at the Honors Convocation on April 22. Invitations for prospective masters were sent out the first part of October, according to Miss Tritt.

Batra, vice president of NIA," and as a result the NIA has not been able to function as effectively as it should." ACCORDING TO Rudolph Nah Roberts, president of. the African Association, the programs sponsored by NIA and PTP have not been good enough to stimulate and maintain the Interest of students. He said the fact that the structure has been changed does not show suc cess automatically. HERMES SAID that PTP has also been a failure mainly because its ex ecutive committee failed to extend an invitation to students who are really interested in harmonious international relationships. Mohinder Atwal, chairman of the merging committee, said of the two organizations "Both these groups hav become very sectarian." Atwal added that fraternities and sororities, being a vital force on cam pus, tend to discriminate against foreign students. As PTP had its main backing from Greeks, he said, it is bound to be a failure as an interna tional organization. "FOREIGN STUDENTS feel they cannot really communicate with such personalities," Atwal said. Ruben Ardila, organizer of the The club was organized last year on an experimental basis, and this year's club wants several competitive matches, Novak said. He added that Wayne Moles, an ad vanced fencer, would like to take several club members with him to duel the University of Minnesota's club in Minneapolis in the spring. BESIDES THE Minneapolis event, the club will conduct a single elimination tournament between members at the end of the 10-week course, Novak added. He said the Women's P.E. Depart ment has given its full cooperation in allowing the club to use its facilities. Also, two women P.E. staff members, Mrs. Shirley Miller and Miss Ina Anderson, will serve as sponsors of the club. ALTHOUGH FENCING has remain ed unpopular in theMidwest, ... he said the sport is included in high school cur- participate. They are: Alex Cochrane President of Silverwoods.

Edmund Seeves Public rela tions department of General Motors. Ralph Dailard Superintendent of San Diego schools. Norbert T. Tiemann Governor of Nebraska. About four others also are ten tatively scheduled, Miss Tritt said. A complete list will be released later. TRYi mssss 1228 P Street Latin American Association, said, "Lack of communication and clear goals hindered the path of NIA and PTP." Commenting on the new organization, Atwal said "The purpose of this new organization would be to interest every person on campus to become a member." HE ADDED that a new organiza tion would give every nation represented on campus an equal voice. The executive committee would be elected from the general members. The executive committee would be responsible to a Board of Directors. "The Board would be made up of one representative from each of the national groups which make up the new international organization." Atwal said. Atwal added that the broad scope of the new organization would create opportunities for faculty members and others to be actively involved. Hermes concluded that the merg ing report is not binding but more of a suggestion as to how to form and run an effective and truly in ternational organization.

If this is a new market with substantial potential, should we base our product concept on economy or performance characteristics t Consideration: The under 25 market poses some interesting opportunities. For one, today 142 more young people work toward advanced college degrees than dia the youth market of 10 years ago. That would seem to indicate a need for a new car based on economy of purchase and operation. But, market affluence and the increasing number of multiple car households could indicate that a new vehicle should be developed around high stylt and high performance.
