Iranian Student Backs the U.N.
(Editors Note: The following article has been written by Farrokh Safa.ji, an Iran student now enrolled in USC’s English Communication program. He will soon begin work on a doctorate in business administration. The, article concerns the United Nations’ 20th anniversary this Sunday.)
By FARROKH SAI'AJI
Millions of people around the world will observe United Nations Day on Sunday. For 20 years the UN has helped to preserve peace and contribute to international welfare.
Representatives of 51 nations gathered in San Francisco in June. 1945 to create a new organization for peace. Since that time this organization has grown to 117 member nations.
The contributions of the U.N. include adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on Dec. 10, 1948., International Declaration of the Rights of the Child on Nov. 20. 1959. the Declaration on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination on Nov. 20. 1963.
The U.N. has offered assistance in bringing about cease fires in Korea, Suez, Congo. Cyprus, Kashmir and other trouble spots. It has given technical and economic assistance to underdeveloped countries and has sponsored other programs which promote peace through education and science.
People often view the effectiveness of the U.N. only through its inability to solve armed conflicts.
These people are concerned only with the political aspect that just keeps the peace and ignore other elements that a^ more important.
The promotion of peace is really based on solving the needs of people, such as having enough to eat, a good home, adequate health and an education.
I would like to continue by saying that peace is only the absence of war. It is also a circumstance under which all people can improve their life by increasing their income, by receiving an education and by enjoying freedom and justice.
For the last two decades the UN has contributed to these objectives through its various agencies. Its food and agricultural organization has provided food* stuffs for hungry people and technical assistance for farmers.
The World Health Organization has eliminated many diseases that bring much pain and suffering. The International Labor Organization has developed better standards for working and UNESCO has promoted literacy through education.
1965 has been designated as International Cooperation Year. No government and private agencies

Some dangers involved in changing property ownership were discussed at the confer-
jence.
While a build up of community property may be advisable for tax purposes, it may also provide a husband or wife who is a successful litigant in a divorce with property rights beyond what he or she might otherwise receive, a panel of 12 speakers warned.
“A build up of separate property in the name of the wife may give her additional property rights in the event of divorce to which she might not otherwise be entitled."
Psychologist Gets Grant For Project
Today's academician quite often has problems explaining to his laymen friends just what he's up to.
Such ij the plight of Dr. Norman Cliff, associate professor of psychology, who has just received $21,000 from the National Science Foundation to finance a two-year research project.
His project is called ‘‘Empirical and Theoretical Study of Sampling Errors in Factor Analysis.”
He said he wants to know how many different abilities are involved when a person performs a specific task.
