'INTERNATIONAL TERRITORY:'

-Daily-Chuck Kelsey
SILVER BLADES-These coeds are among the many women
students taking advantage of the skating lessons conducted by
the Women's Physical Education Department and the open
skating periods held at the Coliseum. Classes are conducted
every afternoon, with the rink open to anyone every evening and
Sunday afternoon.

By ROSE PERLBERG
"Your host for this tour is the
American Association for the
United Nations (AAUN), a non-
profit educational organization in-
terested in helping more people
learn about the purposes and work
of the United Nations."
More than 1,500,000 people have
heard this or a similar introduc-
tion, as they began a one hour
jaunt through "international ter-
ritory," the new UN headquarters
located between 42nd and 47th
streets in New York City.
When the buildings were com-
pleted two years ago, the AAUN
was given a contract to operate a
guided tour. According to Andro-
mache Geanacopoulos, supervisor
of operations, the tour has been a
"roaring success." "We started out
with 10 guides in October, 1952.
Today their number has increased
to 75," she said. .
Women Guides
The guides are all women. The
only men concerned with the
tours are the director and his as-
assistant.
Miss Geanacopoulos explained
that the staff is international.
"Guides come from 30 different
countries. Each speaks several
languages. More than 30 different
tongues are spoken," she said. Al-
though college graduates are pre-
ferred, some high school gradu-
ates also qualify.
Guides do not memorize their
stories. They are subject to a two
to three week orientation pro-
gram. Attending daily classes,
they see films and do consider-
able reading.
Applicants conduct tours under
observation for a month before be-
coming permanent guides. From

UN Offers Daily Educational Tours

time to time members of UN spe-
cialized agencies hold refresherj
seminars.
To help guides cope with visi-
tors' questions, the preceeding
day's events as well as the agenda
for that day are discussde daily.
In addition, guides are expected to
read The New York Times or The
Herald Tribune to keep posted on
current UN events.
The tour starts with an archi-
Union Little Club
To Reopen Doors'
For Final Dance
Students will have their last
opportunity this semester to go
"nightclubbing" at the Union
Little Club from 9 p.m. to mid-
night Friday in the North Lounge
of the Union.
The Union had originally
planned not to open the Club
again this semester, but Harvey
Rutstein, dance chairman, re-
ports that the demand has been
so great that dancing andbre-
freshments will be offered one
more time.
Open for the first time since
the beginning of December, the
Club's bandstand will feature
Paul Brodie and his Stardusters.
In the usual cabaret setting,'
featuring red checked table-
cloths and candlelight, couples
may gather for the evening for
$1. Those dropping in after 10:30
p.m., following a movie or the
hockey game, will be admitted for
75 cents.

tect's model of the UN. Then con-
ference sections of the Trustee-
ship, Security, Economic and So-
cial Councils are seen.
The climax of the tour is a vis-
it to the General Assembly Hall
where all 60 delegates convene. A
walk through the lobby of the
Secretariat building affords a
view of the unique architecture.
Guides' Duties
"The job of the guide is not to
editorialize but to describe the
purpose and function of the UN
and it specializ. 1 agencies," Miss
Geanacopoulos declared. "Each
guid eabsorbs the information and
presents it in her own way. The re-
sult is that no two tours are alike,
each being a reflection of the
guides own personality."
In the course of their work,
guides are exposed to unexpected
and humorous situations. One
guide overheard two visitors dis-
cussing a tour she had just con-
ducted. "You know," tlhe first re-
marked, "the guide said those
sticks we saw in the last confer-
ence room were accoustics, but I
know they were really bamboo
poles.''
Another guide recans an elderly
gentleman who clamped the ear-
phones, that gave translations of
the discussion in different lan-
guages, tightly on his head an*lis--
tened attentively to the guide. At
the end of the tour he said "That
was a very interesting tour, Miss,
but there's something wrong with
those hearing aids!"
A special desk where visitors
can direct any questions concern-
ing UN work and functions is
visited at the end of each tour.

n Figure Skating

Classes

"Performing steps like the 'bun-
ny hop,' 'spiral turn,' 'waltz jump'
and 'mohawk' can be pretty ex-
citing, especially when perform-
ing on such an 'unstable' sub-
stance as ice," remarked Helen M.
Stewart, instructor in the Depart-
ment of Women's Physical Educa-
tion.
Miss Stewart said that the Uni-

versity has sponsored coed figure
skating for several years under the
direction of Mary Francis Gres-
chke. Over 100 coeds are enrolled
in the beginning classes which
start off with the teaching of fig-
ure skating fundamentals, Miss
Stewart related.
"These include learning to use
'edges' and to perform basic steps.
Later in the course several dance
steps are taught. Free skating
movements are also -pfacticed."
Miss Stewart went on to say
that before a class is completed,
each student must demonstrate
the "edges," both inside and out,
forward and backward. She must
also perform a free skating move-
ment and sometimes is asked to
demonstrate one of the dance
steps for the class.
