He added that they acquired
more momentum after a report on
the programs and procedures of
the department was made by two
outside administrative experts.
Euwema, presently acting
head of the department, said he
was not privileged to reveal the
contents of the confidential re
port. which was made directly
to President Eric A. Walker.
He said that some of the recom
mendations were related orally
- to the English faculty at a num
ber of-meetings.
The two consultants made an
objective appraisal of the Depart
ment of English last October at
the request of the president. They
were originally asked to report
on what they considered to be the
general strengths and weaknesses
in the administration of under
graduate and graduate curricu
lums, and the overall organiza
tion of the department.
According to John S. Bow
man, chairman of English com
position, no specific measures
on the English major changes
will be decided on at this time.
It will be the responsibility of
Dr. Henry W. Sams, newly ap
pointed head of the department,
to accept or reject the recom
mendations.
Sams, will assume his offi
cial duties in July, was present
at Friday’s meeting.
A number of special committees
are now at work, however, to in
vestigate ways to incorporate cer
tain suggestions into the depart
ment’s organization, according to
Euwema. These include the com

Tickets Go On Sale
For Kingston Trio
By NEAL FRIEDMAN
Tickets for the Kingston Trio
concert, Sunday, March-8, in Rec :
reation Building, to benefit Larry
Sharp go on sale today at four
locations.
The tickets, priced at $1.25 each,
will be available at the Hetzel
Union desk, the Harmony Shop,
the Music Room and the Univer
sity Record Shop.
The concert will come at the
end of a week of fund raising for
Sharp, whose neck was broken
during a gym class in October,
1957.
Carmella LaSpada, junior in
psychology from Chester, general
chairman of the drive, said a goal
of $7OOO has been set for all of
the week’s activities. '
The Kingston Trio came into
national prominence early last
fall when their recording of “Tom
Dooley” became an overnight hit.
The background of the three
men each contributes in some way
to the group as a whole.
Two of them—Bob Shane and
Dave Guard were born in Ha
waii and learned to play the uke
lele and guitar. The third mem
ber, Nick Reynolds, is the son of
a Navy officer and traveled all
over the world with his father,
picking up songs along the way.
, Guard, spokesman and leader
of the group, says they “are not
folk singers in the accepted sense
of the word, but' our interest in
this brought us together. We will

Many Leaders
“No country has a monopoly on leadership,” Dr. Andrew
W. Cordier, executive assistant to the Secretary General of
the United Nations, said here last night.
His lecture, "The United Nations in a Revolutionary
World,” was co-sponsored by the Graduate School Lecture
Series and the Committee on In- 1
iternational Understanding.
Cordier pointed out that the
equal distribution of good leaders
in all parts of the world is a heal-|
thy condition in world society, Hei
said that this fact makes neces-!
sary an adjustment of the races 1
of the world and a different'con
cept of leadership, especially
among the western powers.
The United Stales should not
feel that it always has to lead.
Cordier said. With its eagerness
to lead the United States tries
to transplant its advanced tech
nology too quickly.
This creates a problem in that
the help that the United States'
tries to give is often not in accord
with the needs of other countries.
“Our programs of international
aid need the keenest kind of ex
amination if they are to have
maximum influence and foster
proper relationships with other
countries,” Cordier said,
In all of our foreign policy we
should not ask others to follow us.
Any acceptance of our values
should be completely voluntary,
Cordier added.
With the acceptance of the
excellence of leadership and
independence In other countries,
western powers and all world
powers must recognize new ris
ing nations and give them status
and dignity in the world and
in, theUniied Nations.
Cordier said he believes the
most significant aspect of the Uni-,
ted Nations today is the fact that;
new nations coming into being are 1
being given a ready made oppor
tunity for-participation.
The United Nations is a tran
quilizer between national leaders
and the new outside world.-With
out the United Nations national
leaders would become involved in
domestic strife and numerous in
ternational differences. •
"New nations must be given
as much assistance as possible
and their leaders must be given
the opportunity to speak and
form opinions on the world
state of affairs," Cordier said.
“The United Nations is now do-*
ing a better job than most of the'
peoples of the world know. It has
given humanity a better fighting
chance to have peace,” Cordier
concluded.
