They were speakers at the Institute for Study of the United Nations Charter, Oct. 21-25. Mr. John Eppstcin's reaction to the UN Institute was typically British and astute. It is a pity to have only one Institute. It should be an annual awak ening to global thinking. No British woman's college has had such an am bitious scheme. The touchstone of the whole Charter is the Commission on Human Rights . . . the Commission is a definite step toward the respect of the dignity of man out lined in the Pope's Christmas messages. Urges Action Now is the, time for Catholics and especially you thinking Catholics to plug the Human Rights Commission. Write your congressmen, senators, and use whatever means you Americans have to make your opinions felt in the govern ment and the press. Having lived five years in Nazi-infested Netherlands. Mr. P. T. S. Serrarens said, The American college students can do much for world peace by not indulging in propaganda for a third world war. The decisive factor in combating Communism, which is the core of world unrest, is charity. As a Catholic, a stu dent has the obligation to spread charity through personal contact. Labor Study Is Vital The study of labor problems, the expert concluded, is vital to your future life. You will either be an employee your self or your husband will be in the business world. The college student must understand the labor question and view it from a Catholic perspective. From the official circle of the U.S. State Department, Mr. Giarles P. O' Donnell regards the power of public opinion as subtle and mysterious. A cer tain line is maintained by the govern ment agencies and circumstances affect their decisions. However, if you have some good recommendations, the Institute should publish its conclusions to stimulate in terest among other students and thinking people. Tidal waves begin with small ripples. Music Works for Peace A violinist, Symphonette conductor Mr. William Fantozzi believes music is essen tial in cementing: international under standing. Harmonious melody brings all peoples together. It is one of the few unifiers, other than religion, which enable the minds and souls of men to be at peace together. Dynamic Bostonian Mr. Thomas II. Ma hony emphasized this study of the UN Charter is of tremendous value. It is not just food for thought; it is food for thought On a problem that makes other temporal problems insignificant. We set the pattern of the UN. It is the problem cf your generation to make it work. Students have a responsible job to stimulate correct thinking about the UN. They can form local discussion groups and talk with their families and (Continued on page 3, column 4) Peace Needs a Press Agent Each of us has a special commission to be an apostle of the United Nations ideal, a press agent for peace. Trained to lead the positive thinking of our nation, our state and city, our home community, we must propagate among the many still apathetic toward a unified world the lessons we have learned about cor porate living. Until we, by integration of our separate talents and interests, have organized a Chicago-wide crusade for the spread of the moral principles and resolutions we have formed, our study of the United Nations is incomplete Through Student Activities Council arrangement, we can take our new knowledge to other colleges, to high schools, fraternal and church organizations, P.T.A. groups, and women's clubs.
