Visitors to UN Tell
of Interesting Week
A convocation was held Tuesday, October 9, in which a panel
of students and a member of the
faculty discussed their visit to and
impressions of the United Nations.
The students were Gerald Olerud
and Neil Anderson, from RJC;
Pamela Thompson, Rochester High
School; Tim Lawler and John
Gould, from Lourdes. They were
accompanied by Miss Mary
Goette, psychometrist and political science instructor.
These students and Miss Goette
represented Rochester at the United Nations the week of October
10-15. Their trip was made possible by the local American Association for the United Nations
chapter.
They left Rochester Sunday,
October 10, by Northwest Airlines, and spent an interesting
and eventful week in New York,
touring the U. N. buildings, sitting in on regular sessions of the
United Nations and interviewing
people engaged in U. N. work.
They went on guided tours
through the General Assembly
building, the Conference building
and the Secretariat of which they
showed slides and pointed out
interesting features in the architecture, such as the horseshoe design of the tables in the conference rooms. The tables, they explained, were arranged in this
way so as not to give preference
to one country above the others.
Interviews with people from different nations were among the
many highlights of the week.
They spoke with the first secretary of the Yugoslavian delegation, Alexsandar Bozovic, who
told them about the policies and
positions of Yugoslavia in its internal government; Mr. Lacker—
from England—a member of the
Secretariat; Mrs. Lind from Switzerland, in UN1CEF, a children's
fund; a woman from Mexico in
the Food and Agriculture Organization; Mr. Taylor, Canada, in
the Human Rights Division; Dr.
William Agar, United States, in
the U. N. Public Information Service; a man in UNESCO; and with
Mr. Butt, a member of the Pakistan Embassy, who told them
about the government of Pakistan, Kashmir, and the problems
confronting them.
Gerald Olerud had written to
the Soviet Embassy requesting an
interview and a possible tour of
the Soviet Mission, but received
no answer. He called the Soviet
Embassy on Tuesday and talked
to the press secretary, Mr. Sus-
lov, who expressed his regrets at
not being able to arrange the
interview.
During the week they sat in on
a meeting of the Security Council
in which the  border clashes be-
