of their owen fields, their weakness is quite evident,"
"Frankness and friendliness are qualities of the American stu-
'dent," reported a student from Ugandi studying at Allegheny Col-
lege. However the friendliness was felt to be superficial and lacked
genuine interest. In being frank, the American student seeks criti-
cism, while looking only for approval."
s ~Say Self -Satisfaction harmful to World
This general self-satisfaction of the American student, the group
~concluded, is harmful to the United States and to the world.
Many of the visiting students thought the American student dis-
interested in academic freedom. They said he does not demand
enough of a. multi-sided view of the subject matter of his courses.
Realizing, however, that most colleges are limited in the' number
of staff members, the student leaders said American students should
demand access to materials which discuss all sides of a subject. These
source of information should include those impartial to the topic and
(those who clearly favor it, and oppose it.
Students should be entitled to hear any speaker advocate his
ideas, and he should encourage his school to obtain speakers with
varied and contrasting opinions and viewpoints. The foreign students
felt that it is the privilege of a professor to hold any political or re-
ligious view that he wishes. Some felt that professors were denied
this right. Miss Holland mentioned.
1The student leaders felt that American college subject matter is
side Affin,
biased pro-American. One of the participants felt that if th(
are two, aides or two approaches' to a topic, it seems that one
carefully deleted or given in a derogatory light,
The group felt that the collegiate institution -- the quiz-
not aimed at testing knowledge. Rather, they felt, it is intended
orient and direct the students' thinking in the subject along a pE
ticular line.
As leaders in their own student movements, these people E
vitally in~terested in student government and student attitudes towa
it. They have concluded that student governments tend to isolE
*themselves from the student body' In turn, they thought the studei
elect their own student government and promptly forget about it, M
Holland explained.
Feel Student Governments " Very 'Weak"
The foreign student leaders felt that there are too many inE
perienced people in student government and many people incapal
of leadership are trying to take an active part in leadership. It is t
duty of the student government to help formulate student opini
and provide leadership on important matters. In this, most parti
pants felt, student governments are very weak.
* Commenting on the frankness of the views presented, a Japa
ese student at Cornell felt that it was the duty of the foreign stud(
to be very frank and truthful in his-views. "To soften these opini(
would not be. helpful to the American students or, to ourselves,",
said.

No German
nity soon
By RICHARD CONDON
Germany probably will not re-
unify within the near future, a.
six-man political ,panel ' of the
Weekend 'Institute on Germany
Today agreed unanimously yester-
day.
The hope that Germany will
soon be unified was compared to
a "mother crying for her dead
child," by Brig. Gen. S. L. A. Mar-
shall, military analyst, Detroit
News.
Prof. James. K. Pollock, chair-'
man of the Political Science Dept.,;
declared, however, that due to the
unpredictability of world situa-
tions this hopeful possibility
should not be discounted.
Prof. Pollock said that Germany
hasf rendered a great contribution
to world p eace and Western se-
curity through her post-war sta-
bility.
"Restoration," Dr. Rolf Pauls,
co unselor of the German Embassy
InWashington D.C., said, to the
German people means the re-
established. freedom for the East-
ern zone, not necessarily reunifi-
cation itself.
One of the reasons why Ger-
many is a member of NATO, Pauls
said, is because it sees in the
Western Alliance her best hope for
a restored Germany.
Prof. Alfred Kelly, chairman of
the history dept., Wayne State
University, said that neutraliza-
tion of Germany would crate a
risk because Russia would agree'
to it only if she is provided with
an excellent opportunity for even-
tual control.

To Continue TWalks
WASHINGTON (R)-Russia and'
the Western" powers reached com-
plete deadlock yesterday on the
issue< of holding a big East-West,
conference.
But diplomats' privately predict
a foreign ministers' meeting, a.
fsummit session, or both later this,
year.
The prediction is based. on1ia l e-
lief that both sides in the cold.
war need high-level talks and that
public opinion, particularly in
Europe and in neutralist. countries
like India, is exerting a stgady
pressure for efforts to reduce the
risks of nuclear war.
President Dwight D. Eisenhower
and. other Western' leaders are due
to make soon the next move in the
diplomatic poker game 'now being
played 'over the issue of how to'
negotiate.
They have completed replies to
messages from Soviet Premier
Nikolai Bulganin °and these are in
diplomatic channels for delivery
in Moscow.
Just as the Soviets released
Bulganin's messages promptly, so
the Western responses are due, for
almost immediate publication.
They are expected to +re-empha-
size the West's' demands that Rus-
sia resume negotiations on some
kind of safeguarded disarmament
agreement and to, leave the way
open for a new-East-West summit
conference provided two condi-
tions are fulfilled.
One is that there should be
careful preparatory talks at the
lower levels; the other is that
these talks should, show solid
ground for belief- that a summit
meeting would produce results.'
