uine desire to work it out, he added.
After four decades of working closely with the United Nations, Caradon said, "There is nothing wrong with the UN except the members. The organization is an excellent one."
The danger lies with the principles that world powers fail to work promptly in constructing a viable agreement, he added.
Issues such as apartheid policy in South Africa and refugee problems in the Middle East exemplify the disinterest of the world powers to overcome the complications of international affairs in a unanimous and timely manner, Caradon said.
Diplomat predicts world conflict

The reluctance of various countries — including the United States and the United Kingdom — in keeping their promises in international agreements will lead to dangerous conflicts, said Lord Caradon, a former British foreign minister who has been working as a United Nations diplomat for 40 years.
The Western world should quickly seek agreements and ultimately carry out UN resolutions to prevent a disastrous scenario for world peace, Caradon said during a conference Monday at noon, sponsored by the Institute of Politics and Government.
"Europe should take the lead and the U.S. should take the lead," Caradon said. "We are now drifting rapidly toward one side of the scale which is difficult to imagine what will happen in Africa and the Middle East."
Criticizing the acquisitions of territory in the Middle East by war as "inadmissible," Caradon said the stability of that region can only be achieved with a set of international agreements that are based upon independence for Lebanon, freedom for the Palestinians and security for Israel.
"The three principles should support each other," Caradon said. "Lebanon should not be invaded and (the) Palestinians must have their own home."
Serving as British foreign minister from 1964 to 1970, Caradon, 78, began his foreign service career in Palestine in the
,1930s and has been a specialist in Africa and the Middle East.
Caradon became governor of Cyprus in the 1950s and helped to achieve a settlement leading to the independence of Cvprus in 1960.
Using his maneuvering in shaping the independence of Cyprus as an example, Caradon said the key factor in maintaining world order is for all countries to score diplomatic successes, not national victories.
By halting the executions of two Cyprian political prisoners while Turkey, Greece, Mexico and the United Kingdom were negotiating at a UN session, Caradon — then the Cyprian governor — said his decision helped the four nations work out a resolution, which led to the independence of Cyprus.
Although numerous resolutions — such as the Laws of the Sea, which guarantee the rights of fishing, navigation and scientific research for all nations in the Black Sea — have been put forward to the UN General Assembly, Caradon said support fell short from the Western world.
The untapped resource in the Black Sea should be available to everyone — especially to the Third World countries, Caradon said.
"(But) the United States voted against it and the United Kingdom abstained. The work of 15 to 20 years has been set aside and no one knows what the next step will be," Caradon said.
"It's agreement which matters," Caradon said. However, the agreement can only function if the countries have the gen-

University president James Zumberge was sworn in March 1 by a federal judge in Anchorage, Alaska as chairman for the newly established Arctic Research Commission.
"I was called by the White House and asked if I would be willing to serve," said Zumberge, who will be serving a four-year term.
In accordance with the Arctic Research and Policy Act of 1984, the Arctic Research Commission was established "to develop a coherent and integral policy regarding U.S. research in the arctic," Zumberge said.
The law requires that the director of the National Science Association, Erich Bloch, be included on the commission as well as a native Alaskan, Oliver Leavitt of Barrow, Alaska, Zumberge said.
Also on the commission are Elmer Rasmuson from Anchorage, director of the National Bank of Alaska and former mayor of Anchorage; Juan Roederer of Fairbanks, and A. Lincoln Washburn of the Quaternary Research Center in Seattle.
The commission's first meeting will be held on April 5 in Los Angeles, and will convene four times in 1985. The commission's

The Rev. Thomas Kilgore Jr., a national and international ecumenical leader and civil rights activist, has been called a master teacher in building bridges between the university and the community.
But after 12 years of building bridges, Kilgore said "I felt my mission has been done."
Kilgore, who has worked towards improving university-community relations since 1972, is retiring from his position as the director of the Office of Special Community Affairs and from his pulpit at the Second Baptist Church in South-Central Los Angeles, where he has been senior pastor for over 21 years.
But Kilgore will still remain active at the university when he assumes the roles of senior adviser to the newly-formed Office of Civil and Community Affairs and of personal consultant to university President James Zumberge.
Kilgore, 72, began his relationship with the university when he spoke at the 1972 commencement ceremonies. He was critical of the university in his speech, expressing the opinion of many community people that "USC was a dominating institution and didn't care about them."
But he also spoke about the university's need to develop a more "soulful" attitude toward
the community and to form a partnership with its surrounding areas.
Kilgore had lunch with then-university President John Hubbard, who told Kilgore that he was upset by what Kilgore had said, but added he also agreed

with him. Because of that conversation, Kilgore was asked bv Hubbard to work for the university part-time as an adviser.
Kilgore later became the director of the university's community affairs office — a position he thought would only last "two or three years,” but eventually turned into almost 12 years.
In his extended "two- or (Continued on page 6)
