Model UN
At Lamar
April 25, 26
By ROSE MARINO
The M o del UN will be held at
Lamar Tech on April 25 and 26 in
McDonald Gym, according to
Dhurin Kothari, faculty sponsor.
At present, plans are being laid for
the a ctual meeting of the peace
organization and the choosing of
delegates. Itisalso hoped that an
international figure will be on
hand to open the session.
The purpose of holding the two
day m eeting is to arouse student
int erest in international relations ■
and the problems facing the UN
today. Some topics under consid-
eration for discussion include
Russia's debt to the United Nations,
a d m i ssion of Red China, and the
Viet Nam crisis.
A committee from the student
government and a subcommittee,
composed of students from the
International Club will choose th£
delegates, with the idea being to
let those exchange students at
Lamar represent their own
countries and allowing other
students to acquaint themselves
with the view of the foreign coun-
try they are to represent.
The m o d el wili work much in
the same way as the original, that
is, with a security council, and its
veto power, and the general
a s s e mbly. Students representing
for eign countries will be notified
early enough to prepare themselves
on the view of the country they
represent toward the problem
being considered.
Persons interested in serving on
the model United Nations, es-
pecially history and government
studentswhohave some knowledge
in the areaofforeignpoliti.es,
should contact Mr. Kothari in the
M e c h a nical Engineering Office,
E-l building or the student govern-
ment office, Student Union build-
ing.
N o special training is required,
as stated before, however all del-
egates will be expected to do some
research in order to represent their
country factually and not on the
basis of opinion.

Fourth Army Band Presents
Jazz Concert At Lamar
The United States Fourth Army
Band from San Antonio gave a jazz
concert on campus Tuesday.
Cardinal Band sponsored the group,
which plays for high schools,
colleges, and civic groups in a
five state area.
Warrant Officer HomerA.
Tampke directs and Jerry Perkins,
specialist fourth class, leads the
band.
The program which is generally
played before high school audi-
ences was advanced somewhat by
P e r ki ns and some jokes of rather
doubtful repute. It seems that the
band was at this party and Anita
Ekb erg was dancing with Mickey
Rooney ....
The fast moving program opened
with " J et Out of Town", a jazz
number with solos by Phil Mean,
alto sax; Dave Trimble, tenor
sax; Charlie Fox, drums; and Jerry
Waggoner, trumpet. "Bonin'Up1",
written especially for the band by
Perkins, followed. Trombone
solos were by Dave Roundtree and
Ed Bevil.
Audience participation in a
"Dixienanny" and historical rendi-
tions of "Three Blind Mice" added
variety to the show. Versions of
the song were 1795 in the style of
Mozart, by Bill Evans on the
piano; 1900, John Phillip Souza;
1 930, dixieland; and 1964, the
Beatles, in full regalia (long hair
and screams).
Rounding out the program were
"Moaning" from the Ray Charles
Letters
Dear Editor:
Before doing anything else, I wish
to take this opportunity to com-
mend and thank the young men of
the APO Service Fraternity, and
those anonymousto me, who
acted so promptly and resource-
fully in aiding me and others
during the fire in the Science
Building. Their cooperation in
helping to remove furniture and
equipment from our building and
their necessary aid in holding back
the spectators is appreciated
beyond o rdinary expression. It
was an outstanding brightness in an
otherwise dark night.
Sincerely,
Donald H. Weiss

Peace Corps
On Campus
Three returned Peace Corps
volunteers have been on campus
since Monday informing Lamar
students of the opportunities for
Peace Corps service. They are
Hunter Breland, Dick Meyer, and
Renee Smith.
Since November of 1964, they
have visited the campuses of
Kansas State, Purdue, University
of Illinois, William and Mary,
Cornell, Columbia, and Newark
College.
When asked what he felt were
some of the more important Peace
Corps contributions to the cause of
peace, Breland listed three b asic
points. First, the Peace Corps not
only assists the developing nations
m a t e r i ally, it also aids them in
understanding more about the
United States. Second, the Peace
Corps helps the people of the
United States understand .more
about other countries. Third, the
Peace Corps educates and matures
those volunteers who serve in it.
Alta Baker, Peace Corps tester,
arrived on campus Wednesday and
will continue to administer tests
through next Tuesday. Meyer,
Breland and Miss Smith will leave
the campus tonight.
