Student Impressed By U.N. Assembly Meeting
(EDITOR'S NOTE: Thia tor? is written by a Kernrl
daily editor who attended tbe U. N. Seminar last week
in New York.)
By MIKE FEARING, Kernel Dally Editor
It was a strange sensation to walk into the 16th an
nual General Assembly session of the United Nations
Friday and realize the seat to the right of the assembly
president was empty.
It had been vacant since the death of Secretary-Gener- al
Dag Hammarskjold several weeks ago.
The delegate from Ceylon commented on the empty
rhair when he arose before the
assembly to
present a resolution which proposed IT Thant of Burma
as acting secretary-generuntil April 10, 1963.
Nearly 65 UK students and faculty members attended the afternoon session of the Oeneral Assembly

as part of the United Nations Seminar trip sponsored
by the University YMCA and YWCA last weekend.
Almost 10 minutes after the Ceylon delegate proposed his resolution a vote by secret ballot was taken
and the assembly had elected U Thant as secretary-gener- al
by a unanimous decision, r

Everyone in the huge cone-shappoised for the congratulatory comments on the election

of the secretary-generfrom th United States and
Russia. Afterwards, many delegates as well as spectators
left the assembly.
The most striking comparison of the two brief talks
given by the U.S. and Russia was their apparent attitudes toward the new appointment.
Adlai Stevenson, United States ambassador to the
U. N., called the election a "prolonged ordeal ended
brilliantly." He pointed out that voting for U Thant
had been unanimous.
The Russian ambassador called the new secretary-gener- al
"an outstanding personality of the Burmese
government" and wished to express the satisfaction of
the resolution" by the Russian delegation.

sorority lots or blocking Columbia
Terrace, the entrance to sorority
row, have created a problem for
some time. The lots are often
so crowded that the residents are
unable to park In their own lots.
The committee is composed of
one representative from each sorority house and is under the supervision of Dr. Leslie L. Martin,
dean of men, and Dr. Doris M.
Seward, dean of women.
Tickets are now being given to
anyone violating the parking regulations from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Monday through Friday and 7:30
until noon Saturday. The top half
of the ticket is given to the offender, and the lower half is sent
to Dean Martin.
Each sorority is responsible for
giving Its own tickets. A warning
is given for the first violation, and
fines are imposed for any subsequent violations. There Is a fine
of $5 for the second violation, $10
for the third, $15 for the fourth,
and $25 for the fifth.
Jane Squifflet, Arts and Sciences
sophomore and a member of the
committee, said yesterday, ' Each

sorority member is to act as a
traffic cop, and the fines will be
enforced Just as any other University parking violation is."
The committe has decided to
issue parking permits to sorority
members who own automobiles.
These will be stickers with the
Greek letters of the individual organizations printed on them. In
cases involving sororities with more
car owners than available spaces,
priority will be given according to
classification.
Courtesy passes have been proposed for visitors to the various
sorority houses, but this has not
been approved by the committee. If approved, these will probably
be in the form of mimeographed
sheets prepared by the individual
sororities and will be valid for use
only once.
The committee is also considering a proposal to hire a campus
police officer to check parking
stickers and courtesy passes on
nights when there are lectures,
concerts, or athletic events, because
the lots are often extremely crowded on these nights.

Dr. Logsdon stressed that the
librarian should set a good example
as a leader and a human relations
specialist. The librarian should
assist In the Improvement of teach- ing others. She should be a part- ner in research and experiment- tion and contribute toward the de- velopment of guidance and coun- seling programs.
Dr. Logsdon said, "In my opinion
she will render better service if an
advlsery committee representing
various parts of the school is es- tablished. This will make her
aware of local needs and make
her associates aware of some of
the problems she faces as a li- braian.
School administrators should rec- ognise and make use of the librar- ian in solving some education pro- blems. The librarian should have a
