Trojan Indians' For Model UN To Be Chosen
Interview's for placement on SC’s “Indian” delegation to the Fourth Model UN at UCLA in April will be held today and tomorrow afternoon from 2 to 4 p.m. in the International Lounge of the SU.
Officers of the International Relations Club and Council will conduct the talks with students interested in becoming delegates, according to Perry Spanos, IR club president.
All students, both men and women, are eligible to apply for positions, but Spanos suggested that they become acquainted with the structure and procedures of the UN as a whole, and have a familiarity with India’s domestic and foreign policies.
Two First Prizes
Twelve delegates and five observers will be chosen from applicants interviewed, Spanos said.
Last year SC won the first prize at the University of California for its representation of the United States, and the previous year, assuming the position of the Russian delegation, was awarded the prize, but refused it, as the host university.
Spotlighting this year’s conference again will be the Korean peace settlement, with India’s role as the neutral repatriation commission expected to be prominent.
Material From Ambassador
Other important issues will be human rights, admission of new members to the UN, UN Charter amendments, world disarmament, and a “surprise issue.”
“We have written to the Indian ambassador in Washington and to the Indian delegates at the UN in New York for material pertinent to India’s foreign policies,” Spanos said. This information will be used as research for the SC delegation.
Advisors for SCs role in the Model UN will be Dr. Eugene Harley, chairman of the political science department, and Dr. Ross N. Berkes, acting director of the School of International Relations.

Rare Tokens of Trip
In an interview yesterday, Professor Blackmore said that on her trip, which took her through Syria, Lebanon, Crete, Israel, Jordan, Egypt, Turkey, Greece, Italy, and several other countries, she wras fortunate to pick up many rare items of interest to show to her Man and Civ classes.
In Egypt she was able to get a small collection of Scarabs, which are little stone representations of beetles, used in ancient Egyptian religious rites. On one of these is found the seal of the Egyptian Pharoah Ikhmaton.
In a bustling bazaar in Istanbul Professor Blackmore discovered two ancient hand written and hand illuminated Korans, believed to be about 500 years old.
From 2300 B. C.
“Incidentally,” she said, “that bazaar had 92 streets and 9,000 shops under one roof."
Also in Istanbul Professor Blackmore^ obtained a very rare
Babylonian clay tablet in a clay envelope, believed to have been made in 2300 B.C.
Professor Blackmore visited a Kibbutz, one of the centers of communal living set up by the Israeli government, during her six days in that nation.
“Everything in these centers is owned by the community,” the professor said. “Children are taken from their parents at the age of six weeks and are sent to live in a communal nursery.
“We found extreme poverty in Greece,” she went on. “The Greek farmers cultivate every inch of that rocky soil, and their tools are
pitifully primitive. In all my motoring in Greece, I never saw a tool larger than a rake.”
Farouk Not Missed
Egypt impressed Professor Blackmore as being a “completely hospitable” country. “I found absolutely no hostility toward Americans in Egypt,” she said, “although many people aboard our ship expected it. One surprising thing that I did discover was that most Egyptians did not regret the departure of Farouk in the least.”
Professor Blackmore has spoken on her trip 13 times this semester at various clubs and colleges around Los Angeles.
“It was such a wonderful trip that I am always delighted to
share it with others,” she said.
