Mrs. Putnam and Strong presented resolutions drawn by 62 delegates from 31 Northwest schools representing 47,000 students who met in the first Pacific Northwest College Con gress, in Portland, April 5 and 6. The petitions asked that procedures be worked out to insure a continuing expression of student opinion at United Nations in the future, and asked the American delegation to United Na tions to present their requests in formal assembly meeting. Lois McConkey Putnam, in her presentation statement, said, “Foreign students are often the promoters of demonstra tions, revolts, and coups against governments. American youth does not propose such measures. We ask, however, the oppor tunity to participate in the planning of our future. Today’s student will be tomorrow’s statesman. Is it not wise to assist .the younger generation in its efforts to learn by doing and thereby assure the nations of the greatest amount of knowledge and experience.” The representatives will report on United Nations in person at an open meeting arranged by the Portland League of Women voters at the Benson hotel at 12:30 p. m., November 13.
