North Koreans Dominate Prague
World-Wide Student Congress

The North Koreans got another
chance to “tee off” on the United
States on the second day of the
World Student Congress.
Immediately after President Gro
man finished reading the executive
report, the chairman of the Korean
delegation was recognized. He cited
the fact that the fifteenth of Aug
ust was the fifth anniversary of the
liberation of Korea by the Red
army.
He offered thanks to the “glori
ous Soviet Union and to the great
father and teacher, Stalin,” then
launched into an attack on the
Uijftted States—charging America
with preparation for war and with
armed intervention in Korea. He
then proceeded to discuss alleged
atrocities.
At the end of this speech, the
whole congress—with the excep
tion of the western delegation and
the NSA observer delegation
moved slowly forward, keeping in
unison and shouting.
As he stood at the rostrum, the
leader of the Korean delegation was
presented with flowers, medals
were pinned on his chest and gifts
presented' to him.
At the end of 18 minutes of dem
onstration, he was carried from the
rostrum on the shoulders of shout
ing students who paraded around
the meeting hall for five minutes
more.

ress was impressive. The meetings
took place in the old Exhibition
grounds. Its buildings were decked
with the slogans of the Internation
al Union of Students calling, for
peace, national independence and a
democratic integration.
The Czech Your Organization
provided hundreds of messengers,
interpreters, monitors, waiters and
guides who assisted the delegates
during the formal session, at their
meals and at their dormitories.
In addition, the main interven
tions, or speeches, of the delegates
were available in English, French,
Spanish, Russian and Czech through
individual interpreters.
As far as the legislative proce
dure was concerned, little attention
was paid to parliamentary proced
ure. This lack of formality of pre
cedure was undoubtedly justifed in
the eyes of many delegates who felt
the ends justified the means—de
spite the fact that many might con
sider their actions as “railroading.”
There was a very real problem in
a meeting- of this sort to engage in
through floor discussions of issues
facing the body. The many techni
cal difficulties of translation and
parliamentary procedure would
have made a thorough-going legis
lative process in this type of meet
ing extremely difficult.

west sides of the su ana else

Grass, a badly needed item,
must await the arrival ,of drier
weather. Meanwhile, rain con
tinues to take its toll on the soil.
Continuous rain and later freez

ing of grass until the spring,

Campus Interviews on Cigarette Tests
Number 6...THE TURTLE
“I should never
have stuck
my neck out!”
A hey had our slow-moving brother moving at too fast
a pace with those quick-trick cigarette tests! A fast puff ... a swift sniff...
a quick inhale ... a rapid exhale. Terrapin’s head was spinning —
didn’t know if he was coming or going! But he slowed down to his own
©pccu — ucciucu mere was no neeu 10 rusn. /\uer ail, ne ngurea,
how could anyone possibly prove cigarette mildness so fast?
And he was right, too! That’s why we suggest:
The sensible test... the 30-Day Camel Mildness Test, which
simply asks you to try Camels as your steady smoke —
on a pack after pack, day after day basis. No snap
judgments needed. After you’ve enjoyed Camels — and only
Camels —for 30 days in your “T-Zone” (T for Throat,
T for Taste) we believe you’ll know why ...
More People Smoke Camels
than any other cigarette!
