UN Is Termed Protection,
Not World Gov't Pattern
The United Nations was described as protection for its members
rather than a pattern - for world government in the course of the
international debate in Schwab auditorium last night.
Ernest Alwyn Smith of the University of Birmingham termed
the international organization "not respected, weak, artificial and
never intended as a pattern for world government."
Smith and John Gwynr Wil
liams of the University ,College of
North Wales . engaged Clair
George and Marlin Brenner of the
College in split team debate. The
international verbal battle is an
annual, non-decision affair.
Cite Achievements
George compared the UN to
the American Articles of Confed
eration and pointed out that UN
action solved disputes in Indone
sia and Pakistan. Williams also
cited UN achievements in Syria
and Korea.
Brenner presented a plan for
world government consisting of a
pact of peace-loving nations to
stop Russian aggression with
naked force. He mentioned
Greece and Berlin, where he said
Russia had backed down when
faced by force.
The English debaters livened
the contest with witicisms and
anecdotes. including 00111111111Millial

Ending Finals
For Seniors
To Be Probed
Senior class last night moved
to have a committee investigate
possibility of abolishing final ex
aminations for eighth-semester
seniors
The class, at a meeting atended
by more than 200 members, also
took a straw vote that - showed
seniors present favored abolish
ing finals overwhelmingly. •
However, a motion _to go on
record immediately in favor of
the proposal was • defeated • after
several speakers said it would be
unwise to take action first and
then investigate.
Seniors also approved by a
large majority a statement that
it was "violently opposed" to de
struction by Hort woods to pro
vide parking space. President
John Erickson was instructed...to
ask All-College cabinet to take
similar action.
Nom. Before War
Erickson explained that seniors
did not have final exams before
World War 11. but that in 1947
the senate scholastic committee
turned down a proposal to elimi
nate them again. Such decisions
are made by the committee, he
said.
Faculty opposition to abolishing
finals was based on concept of
finals as a means of getting stu
dents to review semester work
and to give them practice in or
ganizing their work, he said.
Set Up Board
The class also moved to create
an advisory executive board to
come to future class meetings
armed with information pertinent
to questions to be discussed. This
committee, explained by David
Ludwig, president of Mineral In
dustries student council, will be
composed of four members each
from IFC, Panhel, Leonides, and
AIM.
Two other committee also were
created. James Pasike. an Ag stu
dent, was named head of a com
mittee to investigate adviseability
of retaining the existing Lion
coat tradition, the possibility of
changing the coat itself, or of
changing the tradition. The other
committee was set up to investi
gate possibility of adding seniors
to a committee to work with the
faculty on commencement.
Smith on the dangerous trio
across the mountains to arrive at
State College. He accused his fel
low countryman of being a politi
cian who uses statistics "as a
drunken man uses a lamp post—
for support."
Compared To Child
Although George claimed that
the best way to peace is through
eventual world federation, he
said that.this was, at tresent, im
practical. He compared the UN
to a child having trouble getting
on its feet, but needing construc
tive criticism. •
Isolationism will be obsolete in
a few years, according to Wil
liams. "We are not living in a
perfect world and cannot expect
a perfect world government. The
UN provides a maximum amount
of cooperation in world govern
ment toda," be saki.
