PAGE FOUR Editorial Opinion Model United Nations: An Opportunity to’Learn "Las Naciones Unidas,” “Les Nations Unis” and “Vere- Inigte Nationon” are phrases in three different languages having some similarities. But to all peace-loving peoples they have the same meaning. A chance for world harmony and peace through the efforts of the United Nations. Next weekend students of this University will have a magnificent opportunity offered to them. They will be able to participate directly In model operations of this organi zation. The institution of a Model U.N. tradition on this cam pus is indeed a great thing. It not only affords students practical experience in U.N. procedure and operations, but it causes increased awareness of foreign countries among American students whose views often follow those isola tionist ideas of 1900 American foreign policy. It has been estimated that 700 students will participate In this united effort. We feel the Model Assembly will make each of these 700 students a more broad-minded and belter American citizen. Those not participating may attend the Friday and Sunday sessions as spectators. About 400 tickets for Fri day’s session will be available on Tuesday and 600 for Sunday available on Wednesday. Students may go to both sessions. By looking deeply into the problems of military, cul ture, geography and society is just one country other than our own, one can gain insight into the variety of unique situations in today's world. We strongly urge all those who will be participating In next weekend’s Model U.N. Assembly to prepare them selves well ... to acquire both a general and specific knowledge of the country they will be representing. The opportunity to learn at a college is predominately a passive process. For the most part, students sit in the classroom and listen to a lecture. Extensive efforts have now been made to provide a situation where students will participate in the learning rocess. We greatly appreciate such efforts and hope that all students will support this Model U.N. and work for its success.

Letters Coeds Protest ÜBA Policy TO THE EDITOR: The question in point is what seems to be a new policy of the ÜBA: 'Our understanding of this agency is that it was set up to help the students of this University. Some where along the line it was de railed. Instead of money being re turned for a book which was not sold and yet was not found, a book of “comparable" value was returned to the owner of the lost book. NOTE: The book returned to this student was of an edition which is no longer being used (Why did the ÜBA accept it in the first place?) and therefore cannot be resold for its “com parable" value. The returned book was an in-, iegral calculus book of absolutely no value to the student in ques tion who is an art major. When this- book was forced upon the individual involved, her protests were met with a rude request to leave. When the owner of the calculus book was phoned, he stated that .he had forgotten to go to the ÜBA for his. book. We would like to ask, if the original owner of this book had arrived to claim his book soon, after it had been given away to someone else, what would ÜBA have given him— money or someone else’s book? . Each time others~of us went to the ÜBA to claim money for our unsold, lost books, we were told to return a different day.- On the 'last day the ÜBA was open to return books and money we went back-and had to put up an argu ment to get the money which rightfully belonged to us. As was staled, one_ girl, didn't even get her money) ", - These actions' are Inexcusable. —Paula Zan Clapper 'O4 —Elizabeth Hunt 'O4 —Kay Yoder '64 —Sandra Kain '63 Campus Beat I learned yesterday that USG has over fifty-five committees now operating. If you could measure the service of student government by the number of its committees the campus would be the best in the country, —Prof Wayne soft touch Round and Round During the time you’re in col lege, every professor says at one point or another to his students • that everything works in cycles. You just get something done, it begins all over again v The tricky part of this is that the “thing" is often veiled when it starts again. ~ So they say, be careful. Scruti nize every thing to be sure it isn’t something Old Hat starting up again. Don’t be apathetic, in other words. Now that’s ona of the- words you have to watch for, for it too runs in cycles. People are apathetic for a real long time, thenvthey whoosh in and get rid of all their apathy in one way or an other and then - miss beeson they start being apathetic all over again. Confidentially, 1 am tired of that word. People scream in your ears until all you want to do is to be apathetic. One thing our worthy profes sors forgot to tell us is that the apathetic situation surrounds us and causes general uprisings every day. Having spent close to four years here, I’ve suddenly begun to rea lize (and thus another cycle) that the psychology of the mob works pretty well around here. People I know have gone with out reading newspapers for their whole lives, but if they see enough of their, friends reading them, they will suddenly develop a fer vid interest In the pages. Far be it from them to be out of style. Letters Community Project Proposed TO THE EDITOR: Since 1945, the U.S. has poured out more than $9O billion in foreign aid. We have military troops stationed around the world. However, we have not beep able to halt communism. Why? I believe the chief cause has been an overwhelming national ignorance of the facts about the rest of the world. We give coun tries money and weapons instead of vitally needed food. As future leaders of this coun try and as American citizens we as college students should be con cerned about the world, but .we aren't. We say we are, 100 busy to be concerned, but if we don't have time now, we never will. Instead of looking at the world situation, we concentrate on Pea nuts and the latest campus gossip. Our leaders tell us what we want to hear, If they told us the true state of affairs, we wouldn’t un derstand it) We say it’s too late to do any thing now. Or, what can one per son do. Or, the world situation is too complicated. True liberty does not consist merely of being free from some thing, but also in being free for something.

JANUARY 26, 1963 by donnan heeson The saddest part of it. is that, the interest is only a passing one." . People I .know have never been interested or involved in student affairs,, but suddenly decide that it might be., nice to be bn USG (and to. get'a hat), .so they run and win and add one more do nothing to the corps of'govern ment workers. People I know cannot'conceive of reading a book that is not as signed for a course. They are ever so capable, however, of buy ing The Carpetbaggers or Lady Chatterly, however, , and devour ing them. This is such an aes thetic experience that they pro ceed no further into the world of literature. Then there are those who de cide that they really ought to put some culture into their lives and start going to the Artists Series. Their campaign stops when they pick up their ticket at the HUB desk. This sort of cultural ex perience is overwhelming and I am sure, very gratifying, par ticularly" to the person who was deprived of a ticket. This sort of thing unfortunately is not limited to the realm of stu dents. The Fathers and Mothers of our University Family have been known to give the impression of working towards a common goal with the students and then some how let their efforts peter out to nothing at all. And so it runs. Will it ever stop being so cyclical? I am idealistic enough to think that if efforts were slightly more sustained on both sides,, things might improve. And not efforts towards being more- apathetic. This is definitely a trend also. If it is allowed to continue, life will become more of an enigma than ever, but assuredly an uninterest ing one. our responsibilities. 'Something can be done, but it can only be done by the average citizen. Let us remember that nothing worthwhile has ever been accom plished while waiting for the majority to act. Only ten per cent of our population actively .sup ported the American Revolution. We may not be able to turn the tide of events, but the tide ■ of events will never be turned unless we are willing to make a personal effort and personal sacrifice. I, therefore, propose that State College pick a city somewhere in the world and maike it our com munity project. We could do a great many things, such as; teach the language, history, economics, culture, etc. of this country in our schools. - A. student exchange program could be set up. We could also have a management exchange program. Our teachers could go there in the summer or for a year. My-main point is that we should do this, not our President, nor our government, nor someone else, but us. These ideas are not new, butf most Americans are not will ing to make the sacrifices in volved. . ■ Yes, we can help our country. Is anyone interested? —Gromer Williams '63 MONDAY.
