UNION OF SOUTH AFRICA -
Details on the implementation of
racial segregation in South African
higher education according to the
Apartheid laws were made known
in December.
The Western Cape University
College was founded, effective No-
vember 1, at which classes are to
begin this month.
The College is quartered in a
former primary school in an outer
district of Cape Town. Members
of the National Union of Students
U'rJSAS visited the grounds and
found that the institution in ques-

tion was a one-story building with
only about 15 small rooms.
The grounds are closed in by a
barbed wire fence and offer no
possibilities for activity in sports.
The neighborhood can only be
termed a slum; housing facilities
do not exist, so that the students
will be forced to travel long dis-
'tances daily, if they want to live
in any kind of decent quarters.
The College will admit only
"Couloureds, Malays, and Gri-
quas;" so South Africans of Indian
origin, for example, cannot study
there.
In a press conference, the presi-
dent of the National Union of Stu-
dents stated his position in regard
to the regulations decreed by the
Minister for Bantu Education for
the University College of the North
(Turfloop Tribal College) immedi-
ately after its publication in De-
cember.
While part of the regulations
are in agreement with customary
university practices, e.g. on the
admission of students, it is crudely
complemented by the other part.
Thus, students may only leave
the college grounds or receive
visitors with special permission.
Furthermore, the formation of
organizations, the holding of meet-
ings, and the issue of press publi-
cations are dependent on the ap-
proval of the Rector. These rules
encroach upon freedom of speech

of the national union, can never
lead to a normal student atmos-
phere.

SCOTLAND-At the end of No-
vember a group of 23 students
from the Soviet Union visited
Scotland as the guests of the Scot-
tish Union of Students and the
constituent Students' Representa-
tive Councils.
The students, all of whom came
from the universities and academic
institutions in Moscow, were in
Scotland as the first part of an
exchange between Scotland and
the USSR arranged for 1959-60.
A similar number of Scottish
students will go to the Soviet
Union this Easter.-
During their stay in Scotland,
the Soviet students visited all the
university cities.

ENGLAND -- The proposal to
boycott all goods from South
Africa is now being put into action
in universities throughout the
country.
Proof has already been given
that the boycott is having an ef-
fect: three leading representatives
of the Movement in Cambridge,
including the Chairman of the
Boycott Committee, have been ex-
pensively wined and dined by rep-k
resentatives of South African to-
bacco manufacturers, who said{
they had come up to Cambridge,t
not to try and influence anybodyI
but to present the facts.

KOREA - The problems of
Korean refugee students have been
greatly aggravated by recent floods1
in their country.
The number of refugee studentst
has soared to an unprecedented
total of 432.500; 44 per cent ofa
these students live in Seoul, 19t
per cent in Pusan, 12 per cent in
Taegu, and 25 per cent are scat-
tered throughout the rural areas
of Korea.-
Manual labor jobs help finance
87 per cent of the refugee stu-
dents' education. However, em-.
ployment is extremely difficult to
come by in Korea and therefore.
approximately 3.000 student refu-
gees who are without supplemen-
tary help from their parents must
attend night school which is less
expensive and leaves their days
free to stand in line awaiting part-
time employment.,
Because of the unfortunate situ-
ation of these refugees, malnutri-
tion is a common problem. Nine-
teen per cent of the total student
population suffers from tubercu-
losis of which one-third are in'
critical need of treatment.

DAWN OF THE PAWN-This float entered in the last Michigras, two years ago, is typical of the
decoratively designed displays that will be produced for the occasion this year. The float was based
on a theme of the beginning of chess and was titled "Dawn of the Pawn. The float was entered by
Eigma Alpha Epsilon and Kappa Alpha Theta and contained a chessboard with two students dressed
as the king and queen.
Announce Sponsors of Floats,

Seminars and discussion groups
climaxed by a third annual cam-
pus United Nations will mark
United Nations week, March
13-19.
The International Affairs Com-
mittee of the Union and League,
the International Students Asso-
ciation and Student Government
Council will sponsor the week's
activities.
"Activities are planned to bet-
ter inform the campus about the
United Nations and specifically to
arouse interest in several contro-
versial topics of international dis-
pute," James Burns, '61E, of the
Union, said.
William Jordan, director of- the
Political Affairs Department of the
United Nations will speak on the
role of the United Nations at the
close of the mock session on Sat.
urday, March 18.
The campus United Nations will
have two campus delegates from
each of over 60 countries. The de-
bate will cover two key isues, with
the final vote taken that evening
on all resolutions.
Six topics are under considera-
tion; the final decision will be
made at a nopen meeting in the
Union at 3 p.m. Sunday.
One current and one policy is-
sue will be chosen. The current
issues are Palestine, Kashmir and
the India-Pakistan border dispute,
and Algeria.
The question of the admission
of Communist China to the United
Nations, United Nations aid to
underdeveloped countries and
world disarmament and nuclear
testing are the policy issues under
consideration.
Each delegation of foreign stu-

dents is assigned to a campus
housing unit which will assist the
delegation with its preparation for
the seminars and the debate itself.
Any housing units which have
not been assigned a delegation or
any international students wish-
ing to participate may contact
Brian Glick, '62, or Dick Small,
'62, at the Union Student Offices.

Reid Speaks
On Parking
The Ann Arbor City Council
heard recommendations last night
I concerning the downtown parking
problem from Lloyd B. Reid, the
city's traffic consultant.
Reid said that an inventory of
cars parked and parking times in
the downtown area and question-
naires distributed in the lots pro-
vided the bases for his decisions.
The traffic department discov-
ered that 5,223 different cars park
in central Ann Arbor on an aver-
