i English Quaker
Tells Highlights
Of Russian Visit
An English Quaker told of his
observations on a two-week “mis
sion to Moscow” in July, 1951 in a
lecture here Monday afternoon.
Speaking to a World Politics
class, Gerald Bailey, writer and
speaker on international affairs,
[ said the mission of seven Quakers
accomplished two “practical re
sults.”
(1) It took to RusHia a differ
ent point of view from that of
most English visitors, who had
i usually been uncritical Commu
nists. The "Quakers, historical pro
ponents of peace, challenged prom
‘ inent Soviets, including Deputy
Foreign Minister Jacob Malik, to
put forth a "real proposal” for
” peace.
(21 The Quakers, including Bai
, ley, have had a "great opportunity
to give out impressions of the vis
it.” Bailey cited an article he wrote
in a large British magazine.
Saw the Sights
The mission, which consisted of
three women and four men, also
saw “routine” sights in Moscow,
with side trips to Kiev and Lenin
grad.
Bailey expressed surprise at a
- Russian Orthodox church service
attended by 9,000 in the Soviet
Union, normally considered "god
[" less and athiestic” by the west. He
said the government’s attitude to
L ward religion is more tolerant
since the war.
Buildings Impressive
■ A Russian subway building proj
ect he visited impressed him with
its modern beauty, and its very ex
istence in the face of acute hous
ing shortages made it apparently
a symbol of nationalistic pride.
Members of the mission talked
with the editorial staffs of the
Literary Gazette, a Russian news
paper, and the News, an English
L language paper ostensibly devoted
to better Russian-western under
standing. Bailey said English is
• the second language taught in
Russian schools.
- Talks with Malik
Other talks included a widely
, publicized S’j-hour session with
Malik and meetings with the min
ister of public enlightenment (ed
ucation i and trade union heads.
fc The Quaker themes in these
talks were: How does Russia rec
oncile its alleged desire for peace
with hate-filled propaganda to
. ward the west ? Why does she
keep an "iron curtain” between
| herself and the west? When will
r she offer a real peace proposal?
Bailey called Russian answers as
a whole “thoroughly unsatisfac
tory.”

ture which houses the center of
student activity life on the cam
pus.
Group in Charge
Sonia Edwards, freshman in ar
chitecture and allied arts, is chair
man of the group of 15 “hospitality
girls” who are in charge of the
program. She is assisted by Jean
Owens, journalism freshman, and
Barbara Bailey, freshman in lib
eral arts. Other members of the
group are drawn from the mem
bers of the Student Union program
staff when their assistance is
needed. The Hospitality Women
are a sub-committee under the
House committee of the Student
Union board.
The women, wearing bright yel
low and green ribbons with the
word "Hospitality” printed on
them, act as hostesses for any
event sponsored by the Student
Union. In addition to conducting
the planned tours, the women also
serve at the weekly coffee hour
forums, and at such events as the
reception for the visiting De Paur
infantry chorus held last term.
Answer Questions
The "hospitality girls” are avail
able to welcome the public, point
out some of the interesting fea
tures of the building and answer
questions for visitors.
The program of tours is designed
to acquaint not only campus visit
ors but also the University stu
dents with all aspects if the activi
ties carried on under the auspices
of the Student Union board. It will
also acquaint visitors with the in
teresting features of the building
from the bowling allies in the base
ment to the student offices on the
third floor and the browsing room
in the north wing.
Completed in 1950
Work on the well-known campus
landmark was completed in 1950,
climaxing a drive for its construc
tion begun back in 1926. In 1946,
land at the present site of the Erb
memorial was purchased and ac
tual construction was begun in Oc
to'-c-. 1948. No money for the
building came out of state-*ppro
prieted funds. The memorial was
financed entirely on grants, contri
butions and payment of student
fees.
The building was dedicated as a
memorial to Donald Erb, president
of the University from 1938 until
his death from pneumonia in 1943.
It was at memorial services for
Donald Erb that Mrs. Beatrice
Walton Sackett. then vice-presi
dent of the State Board of Higher
Education, suggested that if the
University ever built a student
union it should be named after
Erb. And it was.
