Conference

By AVIVA KEMPNER

ed in the year-long celebration of
the University's Sesquicentennial.
Their activities include a National
Student Sesquicentennial Confer-
ence scheduled for March 22-25,
and a student escort service for
guiding the guests on campus dur-
ing the major ceremonies..
The purpose of the conference
is to examine the role of the stu-
dent in today's society. The in
tellectual, political, cultural and
moral aspects of student life will
be discussed. About 125 delegates
from American universities and
colleges, plus faculty and guest
speakers will discuss the question
-"Society in Transition: Where
Do We Stand? Where Do We Sit?
The delegates include the stu-
dent presidents or competent cam-
pus leaders of major schools across
the country. They will be housed
by Inter-Fraternity Council, Pan-

II

hellenic Association and Inter-
House Assembly. The conference is
sponsored by University Activities
Center.
Well-known speakers in their
respective fields will talk on four
general themes. Either Sen. Rob-
ert Kennedy (D-NY) or Gov.
GeorgeRomney will discuss the
question, "Is There a 'New Im-
age' in Politics?" on March 23.
On the same day, Dr. Kenneth,
Keniston. professor of medicine
at Yale University, will discuss the
issue,"Is There a New Morality?"
Capt. Frietag, board member of
the NSAS space program, will in-
troduce the problem, 'How Impor-
tant Should Space Exploration Be
in the Future?" on March 24. And
a faculty panel consisting of pro-
fessors in the fields of philosophy,
music, art, drama and literature
will comment on, "Is Social Change
Reflected in the Arts?"
The speeches will be given in
places available to the interested
members of the University com-
munity. After the speaker ses-
sions, the delegates will divide in-
to discussion groups related to the
topic introduced by the keynote
speeches.
Pertinent IssuesE
According to David Johnson, '69,
chairman of the Student Sesqui-
centennial Conference Central
Committee, the conference gives
"the opportunity for top student
leaders of the nation to meet and
discuss pertinent issues confront-
ing our changing society. The con-
ference also allows the student to
be active in the celebration while
bringing interesting speakers to
Ann Arbor for the discussion of
problems relevant to the student."t
A more direct and extensive stu-t
dent involvement'in the Sesqui-
centennial celebration will be thei
Student Escort Service. About 400t
students will serve as guides forf
the visitors to the six major cere-X
monies during 1967. F
Each escort will be assigned
one guest at each conference, ex-c
cept the Alumni Celebration on
March 1-5, which requires only 60
