It is with this thought that a registered jeweler offers his dia- monds of fine gent quality. To select anything less than a fine gem denies the owner the satisfaction realized by those who possess a stone of gem quality. It doesn't take a thousand dollars to buy a fine gem: and a thousand dollars doesn't guarantee gem quality. In order to assure the gem quality of your purchase, you need to seek the counsel of a trained jeweler . . . one who possesses the knowledge to select and grade and the integrity to sell fine gems competi- tively. To know more about gems . . read our booklet entitled "Diamonds-Their Purchase and. Their, Care."

Student Group Studies 'World TroubleSpots With an eye toward furthering international understanding, the campus UNESCO Council meets every other week to mull over the world issues of the day. In an attempt to better under- stand the United Nations and cultures of other countries, the Council held numerous discussion groups last year. Prof. Kenneth E. Boulding of the economics depart- ment and Prof. Lawrence Preuss of the political science department have been guest speakers so far this semester. A typical meeting will be Wed- nesday's when students represent- ing seven Middle and Near Eastern countries will hold a panel on "A Closeup of the Changing East." Other discussions this semester will also center around increasing tension in the East.

The drive will be sparked by the appearance of the "Wissif" animal which will appear during the week on the diag or maybe even popping unexpectedly into classes. * * * THE WISSIF mascot, which can be classified somewhere between a dog and a teddy bear, will be the center of songs and stunts throughout the drive. He is char- acterized by an incessant hunger for funds, which he collects with a fervor. But his hunger is never satis- fied, his "owners" report, and so the reason for this drive. All the money "Wissif" collects will be sent to students from other lands who need such essentials as books, equipment, clothing, food, medical supplies and mon- ey to pay faculties. One of WSSF's main methods of collecting funds is through blood donations. For every pint of blood given in WSSF's name, $15 is col- lected and used for student aid and a multitude of WSSF-spon- sored projects. Those wishing to donate blood during the drive do not have to give it immediately. Blood dona- tions may be pledged now and giv- en at the student's convenience. During this week, booths will be set up in Angell Hall, the Admin- istration Bldg., and on the diag. Here students may receive inform- ative pamphlets about WSSF, and they may also sign up to give blood. * * * IN ADDITION, each house group on campus will have a re- presentative who will speak to them about WSSF and act as an agent for funds and blood pledges. WSSF has grown from a pro- ject of the World Student Chris- tian Federation after the first world twar to an organization which now includes 32 countries. Collaborating with UNESCO, its r i I WSSF FUNDS AID TRADE SCHOOL-Here is an example of where WSSF funds collected from students in this week's drive will go. In this shoemaking trade school, supplies have been furnished largely by WSSF aid. WSSF also Furnishes equipment such as textbooks, laboratory materials, food and clothing for students in European cotries. * * * main purpose is to provide aid to students who require it, whether it be American branches of the or- ganization providing for European students, or vice versa. * * * AN UNDERLYING purpose of WSSF which leaders hope will fol- low this concept of mutual self- help is. the establishment* of an educated population which will fight Communism and work for a democratic society in their own lands. S* * * ( WSSF aid to these countries also includes such projects as aiding tuberculosis-stricken students with TB clinics wherever possible, pro- viding mimeograph machines with which students may mimeograph text books which they otherwise would not have, and sponsoring student hostels and rest centers. WSSF funds are apportioned to countries according to their individual needs. To determine this need, World University Ser- * * * 4 vice, the national agency for WSSF sends representatives to various European countries each year. At present the greatest aid is needed in Greece, Italy, South- East Asia, the Middle East and Germany. Refugee students pose a special problem. WSSF is at pre- sent placing refugees from Eastern Germany in colleges in Western Germany.' However WSSF aid is not con- fined to European countries, al- * * * though the need is greatest there now. After the war, for example, WSSF was able to help Japanese- American students, who had been confined in relocation centers, by acquiring scholarship grants for them in American uniyersities. Last year more than three qhiaF- ters of a million dollars was given by students and faculties at more than 800 American institutions. University students donated $2,000 in blood pledges alone. Their goal for this year is $808,500. a p U 16 NICKELS ARCADE SINCE 1916 Registered Jewelers * American Gem Society I EAST-WEST STRUGGLE SEEN: United Nations Assembly To Convene in Paris For You Who Live in Sweater and Skirt Combinations * * * * * * * * * (' in the Casual Shop I and knoW fine tweeds, luxurious wool s THE MOST BELOVED of all campus necessities . . . the wool sweater . . . the fine textured tweed skirt.

The tension is caused not only by the continued East-West dif- ferences but by a wave of new problems, particularly the mount- ing turmoil in the Moslem World. AS IN THE past, debate in the 60-nation Assembly will be watch- ed closely by millions in the hope for a break in the cold war. The big question, of course, is what Russia's wily foreign minister, Andrei Y. Vishinsky, will bring from the Kremlin in his brief case. Will he bring new proposals which might inspire a measure of confidence among Western diplomats for improved relations? Will he adopt a harsh, fighting tone or will he be concillatory and mild? Western leaders are skeptical about the prospects. They are prepared for a new Soviet "peace offensive" and, perhaps, a surprise twist, but they don't expect any- thing concrete from the Russians in the way of a new approach to the outstanding problems. THE WESTERN powers are de- termined to press again to make collective security, or a master counter-aggression system, t h e major issue at the coming session. The United States will seek to consolidate the gains that have been made since the start of the Korean War in building up a strong UN force to counter ag- gression wherever it may occur in the future. In addition to the anti-aggres- sion program, other major issues before the Assembly will include: 1. The whole Korean question, including long-range policy, relief and rehabilitation, and military operations. 2. An expected new Soviet move for arms reductions and a ban on atomic weapons. C. Jessup. Jessup was given an interim appointment after the Senate failed to act on his nomi- nation. The Russians are sending 0 de- legation of 85, including the rep- resentatives of White Russia and the Soviet Ukraine. Trygve Lie has expressed hope the Assembly will make progress in at, least three importantteli- rections. Here is the way the UN secretary lists these objec- tives: "First, toward building a Uni- ted Nations collective security system that will be a firm bul- wark against armed aggression by any nation. We must have. no more 'Koreas' anywhere. Until a system of collective security is firmly established I am afrai&the present burden of armaments is unavoidable; "Second, toward relaxation of East-West tensions and resump- tion of efforts to find a solid basis for peaceful coexistence, and this within a reasonable time..., "Third, toward a more equal and understanding partnership in poli- tical, security and economic mat- ters within the universal frame- work of the United Nations be- tween the industrialized nations of Europe, America and Australia on the one hand, and the nations and peoples of Asia, Africa and parts of thi Americas on the other hand." ONE OF . the big reasons the world will focus its attention on the upcoming meeting is the shift in power from the Security Coun- cil to the Assembly. Under the Acheson Proposal ("Uniting for Peace"), the Assembly shall- call a meeting within 24 hours in the event of armed aggression. The vetoless body is expected to act promptly in such an event to combat aggression. AI- though Assembly moves are technically "recommendations," they are expected to carry nmore M a 'I i .; ,:: :.:
