Scientific Papers

These papers will be organized in-
to a book edited by Prof. Roger
Fisher of the Harvard Law School,
to be published sometime next
year, perhaps as an issue of the
Academy's journal "Dedalus."
Pr'of. Boulding's paper dealt with
peace as a specialized case of ci'n-
flict, and with the theory of in-
ternational threat systems.
"The base of the problem Is in
social systems, and thus the prob-
lem lies with students of social
systems," he explained. "There are
three organizing factors in social
systems, threats, exchange and
love. Peace becomes a problem
when the threat systems have got-
ten out of hand. The question is,
what in a social system corres-
ponds to the genes in a biological
system, determining its character-
istics?"
Prof. Boulding stressed the
breakdown of national defense as

a concept of our age. "Ciyil de-
fense has crumbled as a policy.
A country hit by a hydrogen bomb
is not-worth living in; other means
of security must be found. When
the captain says 'every man 'for
himself,' it is not a good sign. Any
major civil defense program will

stateeto protecte iscitizens wl
become apparent," he explained.
Fractionalism
Prof. Fisher conitributed the
concept of "fractionation of con-
flict" to the discussion. Accord-
ing to this theory, a large conflict,
such as that between the United
States and the Soviet Union, can
be solved more easily If it Is broken

"The character of the Interna-
tional Student Conference is al-
tering towards the political left, as
a result of the influence of na-
tional unions of students from the
underdeveloped countries," Robert
Ross, '63, said yesterday.
The ISC held its tenth conven-
tion in Quebec June 28 to July 10.
The meeting, so far the largest
ever attendedrby students from3 al
participants from 84 countries.
Eleven international organiza-
tions sent observers. The National
Federation of Canadian University
Students hosted the conference at
Laval University. y
The conference passed resolu-
tions on colonialism, imperialism,
totalitarianism, racism, dictator-
ship and censorship. New resolu-
tions called for "great efforts in
the struggle against illiteracy and
in the spiritual and material de-
velopment and education of the
peoples of the world," according to
a report of conference activities in
"Student Mirror," an international
students magazine.
Cites Incident ,
Comumenting on the report, Ross
stressed an incident occurring dur-
ing a debate on the question of
whether the Federacion de Uni-
versitarios Pro-Independencia de
Puerto Rico (FUPI) should be
granted full status as a national
student union. The problem was
debated for 14 hours and ended
with a negative vote, whereupon 29
delegations, mostly West and
North Africans and Latin Ameri-
cans, walked out, declaring that
they would not return until FUPI
was fully accepted.
Although the delegations even-
tually returned, Ross terms the
walkout "a real blow. F1UPI is very
small, and is clearly not repre-
sentative of Puerto Rican stu-
dents, and its members are ir-
responsible extremists." Thus the
sympathy shown them by the
Latin American and African stu-
dents indicates a significant alter-
ation on the part of ISO's, over-
all character.
Ross likewise emphasized a sec-
tion of the resolution on "Uni-
versal Student Cooperation," cit-
ing a trend towards "absence of
unity in the student world, which
is reflected in particular by the
existence of the ISC and the In-
ternational Union of Students
which, although coming ever closer
In their objectives, remain never-
theless different in their . . . prin-
ciples . .and character.
The IUS is a Communist-dom-
inated organization which had no
representation in votes at the ISC
meeting, but sent five observers.
According to Ross, this resolution,
specifically the clause indicating a
growing sameness of objectives,
was included "to pacify the radi-
cals and the delegations who walk-
ed out." ISO was itself originally
formed in reaction to the overly
orgnied heavy executive power
Another motion relating to IUS
declares that "because of the fun-
damental difference in the char-
acter, principles, and competence
of the existing international struc-
tures, such unity cannot be reach-
ed through fusing the existing
structures." Ross feels that this
also indicates increasing rather
than decreasing tolerance of IUS.
"The ISO used to argue that the
IUS was corrupt and that all stu-
dent unions should adopt the prin-
ciples and conditions of ISO. Now
the ISC does not feel adequate to
contain student unity," he said.
Also, Ross cited a section of the
resolution on world peace, which
states that, "The struggle of op-
pressed people for their national
liberation, even by force of arms
as a last resort, constitutes a posi-
tive contribution to world peace."
, Leftist Element
"This is very significant," he
said, "in showing the real influ-
ence of the revolutionary leftist
element."
Another resolution restates the
intention of ISC "not to become a
new international organization."
Ross feels that the exact opposite
is true, and that ISO is moving
towards consolidation.
Regarding its own character, ISCO
supports "the maintenance of ab-
solute autonomy of the university
and student organizations, . ..n
order that governmental and par-
tisan political influence may not
infringe upon the integrity of the
student movement."

It defines academic freedom as

"The appearance of such per-

PROF. KENNETH BOULDING
.. . sees conflicts
up Into many smaller disputes,
Boulding reported. 1
As an example, the U.S. and the
U.S.S.R. have a standing agree-
ment concerning the seals of- the
Bering Strait, whereby we catch
theirs, they catch ours, andl the
seals are exchanged. Nevertheless,
some residual large conflicts per-
sist.
"We do not think of the Protes-
tant-Catholic conflict as we do of
the cold war, and yet the Ideologi-
cal division is comparable," Prof.
Boulding said. "This is because we
deal with the problem on the level
ofschool bus disputes."
Decision Making
Prof. James A. Robinson of the
poiticle- science department at
Northwestern University dealt with
the problem of the methods of de-
cision making. He chose as an ex-
ample the decision of the British
government to enter the Euro-
poliy sep hich was takcen amot
entirely without public discussion
and pressure. "There might be
some chance for President John F.
Kennedy to make a substantial
decision about disarmament with-
out public sanction," Prof. Bould-
ing commented, "but we must re-
member Woodrow Wilson and the
League of Nations."
Against Polarization
Prof. Amital Etzione of the so-
ciology department at Columbia
University spoke against an At-
lantic union, such as might grow
out of a union of the U.S. with
the Common Market, because such
a move would tend to polarize the
world even more.
Prof. Boulding feels that in such
a situation it would be almost in-
evitable that the U.S.S.R. would
eliminate Poland, Hungary and
Rumania as independent countries
with membership in the United
Nations.
"We have a much better chance
of survival in a muddled world. It
is dangerous to clarify insoluble
issues," he said.

BUFFALO-The University of
Buffalo is instituting a new cal-
endar which, in effect, will provide
for a third semester of study.
The new plan provides for an
overlapping' summer session which
will allow students with an aver-
age of 3.0 (B) or better to take
work almost equal to the normal
load. Under this program a stu-
dent can finish school in three
years. In addition, the university
will begin a full two weeks earlier.
DETROIT - The Ford Founda-
tion announced recently that six
United States' colleges will par-
ticipate in educational exchanges
with Latin American universities,
to be financed by a one million
dollar grant from the Founda-
tion. The University of Minnesota,
Harvard and Columbia Universi-
ties, the University of Texas, and
the University of California at
Los Angeles and Berkeley will
take part in the program.
NORMAN - One hundred and
twenty-one Peace Corps trainees
will soon go to Brazil after hav-
ing completed eight weeks of pre-
peration at the University of
Oklahoma. The volunteers will
take part in two rrojects. Project
I members will work with young
people and children, while Project
II members will carry on work
similar to that of TVA in the
Sao Francisco valley of Brazil.
