Highlighting the program will be the president of Occidental College, Dr. Arthur G. Coons, who will speak on “Higher Education- A Race to Keep Pace.” After the general session the delegates will discuss the problems of different college departments in separate section meetings. “PROBLEMS THAT have arisen as a consequence of the new education laws passed by the State Legislature last June will in all probability be handled,” Bean remarked. He added that the preparation for the conference has been a challenging task, the most complex problem being to provide all the guests with parking spaces and food. “Everything has worked out fine, and we have every reason to believe that the conference will be a success,” Bean concluded.

Red China debate top moths agenda “Will the meeting- of the United Nations Security Council please come to order.” These words will ring through Sexson Auditorium next Tuesday when members of the International Relations Club attempt for the first time in PCC history to put on in complete detail a meeting of the UN Security Council in commemora¬ tion of United Nations Day and UN Week activity. The program will be presented to the student body at 12 noon. OTTIS PITTMAN, acting as president of the Security Council, will open the meeting to discussion of admission of Red China, disarmament, and Cuba. Debate by the 11 members of the Security Council will coincide with opinions being ex¬ pressed daily in the actual UN proceedings in New York on similar issues. Each of the 11 council members will be portrayed by a PCC foreign student whose country is a member of the actual Security Council. Vladimir Petrov, now a student at PCC, will revert to his native Russian and represent the dele¬ gation from the USSR. All remarks by Petrov will be made in Russian and translated first into French and then English by interpreters standing by. IN ACCORDANCE with the United Nations the perma¬ nent countries on the Security Council will be Nationalist China, France, USSR, United Kingdom, and the United States. The six non-permanent members this year are Ceylon, Chile, Ecuador, Liberia, Turkey, and the United Arab Republic. The stage will be arranged in typical UN fashion with delegates and alternates seated around the “horse shoe” table. Flags of the UN members will hand in the background with the official flag of the United Nations. FOR FURTHER authenticity, interpreters, secretaries, and security guards in native costume will be stationed throughout the auditorium. Ismael William Reyes, UN Week chairman and originator of the session at PCC, will preside as under-Secretary General. In the event that a new Secretary General should be chosen for the world peace organization before the student assembly, Reyes’ position will be altered accordingly. “In order that the student body might get a clear picture of the proceedings of the Security Council, we have attempted this program,” Reyes stated. Dr. Harold Hansen, adviser to IRC, said “It is important that students are also familiar with the current issues being debated in the UN, and the stands the different countries are taking on them.” Dignitaries of Pasadena, including the mayor and board of education officers, have been invited to the session. Reyes has also contacted newspapers and television reporters to cover 'the session. UN representative will lecture here Cholmondeley Nelson. United Nations authority, will be guest speaker of the International Re¬ lations Club Monday at noon in 200C. The event is one of a se¬ ries of special activities commem¬ orating United Nations Week. Nelson, who is currently presi¬ dent of the Pasadena area chap¬ ter of the American Association for the United Nations, is fre¬ quently in attendance at UN meet¬ ings. According to Dr. Harold Hansen, IRC adviser, Nelson “knows the United Nations as few men in our area do. He knows many of the principal am¬ bassadors and is familiar with the issues now before them.” Nelson, an Englishman, enlist¬ ed at an early age in the British Army. After the war he became a strong supporter of the United Nations as the universal organiza¬ tion dedicated to the principle that “wars begin in the minds of men.” A strong supporter of the UN security program, Nelson also be¬ lieves that "rights must be sup¬ ported by force if necessary but that universal freedom, justice, and peace can best be supported through the United Nations.”
