CAMPUS UNITED NATIONS:
Students Consider World Problems

(Continued from Page 1)

a decision everyone knows he
has carefully weighed all con-
siderations."
While Tom has enjoyed mak-
ing decisions, he left office
Thursday without any regrets
about deserting his busy sched-
ule of meetings. He confesses
it "gets on my nerves" listen-
ing to the minutes of meetings
he must attend but which
merely consume his time.
If matters "get on his nerves,"
Tom certainly didn't show it,
for his term of office at the
Union was distinctly marked
by cooperativeness. Manager
Kuenzel singles out his overall
contribution to the Union as
the good will springing from
"his ability to get along with
people."
'Gone Ahead'
"He has set his sights and
gone ahead," Kuenzel said, "but
all along the way the Union
staff, his executive board and
the board of directors have liked
him."
Relations with the student
staff have been better than ever
before during Tom's term of
office, in the estimation of
Executive Vice-President John
K. Goodrich, who points out
that this year's student staff
attracted double the number of
workers as last year's.
John defines one of the prin-
cipal goals of Tom, Adminis-
trative Vice-President Martin
D. Newman, and himself as re-
building sagging staff morale.
"I feel we accomplished this
aim through changes and im-
provements which developed
within the Union an intangible
solidarity, a well-founded sta-
bility."
Knack To Pay Off
Tom's knack for dealing with
people seems destined to pay
off when, after graduation and
marriage in June, he launches
a career in the field of public
relations.
In his past four years at the
University, Tom believes the
pronounced intellectual climate
has invaded more and more
phases of Ann Arbor life.

"During orientation and their
very first weeks here, I think
freshmen are deeply impressed
that they were able to get into
the University at all and are
scared of failing.
"This, together with the evi-
dent fact that freshman and
sophomore classes are becom-
ing harder, forces the student
in his first few terms to con-
centrate on academics. In the
process extracurricular activ-
ities, fraternities and sororities
suffer."
Supplement Class
To meet this challenge, Tom
suggests that out-of-class ac-
tivities make themselves sup-
plementary to classwork. They
should do this by offering the
student an opportunity to re-
lax and do something he en-
joys.
As examples of how student
activities have been successfully
fitted into the whole educa-
tional picture he cites the in-
creasing number of special cam-
pus lectures and Student Gov-
ernment Council reading and
discussion groups.
All the educational, cultural
and social benefits available
only at a large institution like
the University convincingly off-
set any dangers of "bigness,"
according to Tom.
Few Ever Cost
"Coming here from a small
town as I did, I was surprised
to find that one quickly identi-
fies himself with a number of
overlapping small groups. Only
a very few students are ever
lost in the University's size, I
think, and most soon see all the
benefits available."
Tom feels Student Govern-.
ment Council has vast potential
means of helping students.
Holding down a SGC seat him-
self, he observes that "in struc-
ture and formation it excells
student governments of other
colleges," but is plagued -with
a lack of understanding by the
student body.
"If the campus does not real-
ize SGC's possibilities for them,
SGC has a Job to do; if the
campus realizes SGC's possi-
bilities but does not use them,
then the existence of SGC must
be seriously questioned."

MOCK UNITED NATIONS-Yesterday's Campus United Nations,
opened by University President Harlan Hatcher, considered mo-
tions on disarmament and aid to underdeveloped countries, and
heard a talk by William Jordan of the UN on its changing role.
Mock-UN Hears Speech
On Actual Group's Role

By CAROLINE DOW
"I hope that deliberations of this
day will help us all toward better
techniques and solutions for the
problems of the world," University
President Harlan Hatcher said
opening six hours of debate on the
Mock UN Assembly floor yester-
day.
Five resolutions on "Aid to Un-
derdeveloped Areas" and six on
disarmament were passed before
a transitory audience of 30. John
Feldkamp, '61, president of the
Student Government Council, pre-
sided.
The USSR opposed motions
covering both general areas on
the grounds that they gave an ad-
vantage to the western "coloniza-
tion-minded powers."
Need Impartial Organization
Successful aid resolutions called
for the establishment of an Im-
partial organization to receive and
allocate aid to insure maximum
benefits and to aid the country in
gaining a better living standard.
Member states agreed to provide
the UN with the necessary funds
in proportion with their ability to
contribute, and to eliminate all
trade barriers and currency re-
strictions with "all deliberate
speed" to enable just distribution
of all world resources.
Consideration and aid through
the World Health Organization for
population planning and the spon-
sorship of bi - lateral fellowship
and scholastic study abroad pro-
grams were also passed.
The afternoon session on dis-
armament produced six motions
effecting general immediate dis-
armament under : the inspection
and control of a UN guided inter-
national military force.
Convert Weapons
These motions included the in-
junction to all nations to "convert
all weapons of mass destruction
(nuclear, chemical, biological and
other) into peaceful uses or their
destruction."
An additional amendment was
passed stating "That as universal
disarmament cannot be achieved
unless the agreements include all
nations of the world, it is essential
that all nations recognize the
existence and the right to exist
of each other nation," with the
deletion of the phrase "including
Red China."
Of the entire disarmament mo-
tion, the Indonesian delegate said,
"everything outside humanity is
a dependent variable, thus the
force of nuclear weapons is a de-
pendent variable and can be con-
troled by humans."

"The reality of the UN rests in
the conduct of its member states,"
William Jordan, Head of the UN
Department of Political Affairs,
told the mock UN delegates yes-
terday.
Jordan pointed out that the
present role of the UN is far
different than her founders, he
among them, had envisioned. The
UN is not the center of power nor
the center of handling all inter-
national disputes..
He found it "fortunate that the
UN had developed as a non-coer-
cive power as this form of power
has reached a dead end in that
states are terrified at the very
power of coercion at their dis-
posal," in regard to nuclear arms.
Center of Power
"The real center of power is in
the national governments and will
stay that way until the world is
united in its sentiment." The UN
since 1946 has placed its reliance
on mediation and conciliation,"
Jordan poointed out.
"The UN encourages nations
to settle disputes directly, peace-
ably and within themselves. Only
when this procedure has broken
down does the UN offer its services
as a mediator, just as a govern-
ment steps in to 'mediate' a steel
strike."
The TJN cannot cure situations,
he continued. They can only con-

trol situations until heads clear
and statesmen can find '"a way
out of a crises which threatens to
develop into warfare."
UN Settled Down
"The vast number of visitors
which wear holes in the secretari-
ate rugs are an indication that the
UN has settled down as a political
institution. The peoples of the
world take it for granted.
"As long as there is no world
catastrophe the UN will continue
to function as an organ of the
World Community," Jordan said.
He stressed its positive functions
as a mediator, maintaining the
peace-keeping machinery and ob-
serving and reporting on interna-
tional developments.
As to the basic question "What
is the UN?", Jordan replied that
it is "a chamelon, changing from
year to year and even changing
with each subject it deals with.
"It is most of all however, a
calm discussion place for the na-
tions of the world to talk over their
problems."
