'Mirrors the World* Boland Stresses Value Of UN in Today s World Bv LINDA BROWN Emerald Staff Writer “Whoever wanted a quiet life did badly to be born into the. twentieth century.” Using' this quote by Leon Trot sky. Ambassador F. H. Boland, president of the 15th session of the LTN assembly, explained the importance of tiie Unitea Nations in the world today. Boland spoke last night to the first plen ary session of the MUN in Mc Arthur Court. “THE SAD fact is that the sit uation in the United Nations As sembly is merely a reflection of the situation in the world. Be cause the Assembly of the L'nit ed Nations mirrors the world as it is." Boland told the grave social end economic discontents that threaten world peace, mentioning that economic under-development represents a grave danger to the course of freedom. “THE possibility always exists that men and women in less de veloped areas of the world, find ing that national independence by itself has not brought them the education, the welfare and the living standards for which they hoped, may lose faith in the Advertisement What are the opportunities in Chiropractics? The fact that 10.000 more stu dents are demanded by tiiis grow ing and uncrowded profession at tests to the unlimited opportuni ties for many serious students who have an inherent desire to serve, to help others in maintain ing and in reestablishing health. The opportunity for independ ence, as in any profession, is particularly fostered in Chiro practic. Usually the Chiropractic physician establishes his own pri vate practice as does the medical doctor or the dentist, in any com munity lie so desires, downtown or in his residence. He establish es his own working hours and \>hen and how long his vacation may be. The Chiropractic- physician has the choice of the most attractive general practice or of specializ ing. Among the major specialties are the treatment of athletic in j iries, diseases of children, dis eases of women and mental and nervous disorders. A large and growing number of practitioners devote their entire practice to diagnosis through the taking and interpretation of X rays or laboratory tests. For those whose talents and in terests qualify them, there is a great opportunity to teach and do research work. The profession needs trained men and women to further investigations, to collect data and to conduct the scientif ic development of Chiropractic knowledge. Chiropractic teachers are needed to carry out the pro grams of the accredited Chiro practic colleges. To anyone seeking an honorable and useful career. Chiropractic offers a good livlihood and an absorbing interest.

Cooperation Is Asked Some «0t) students are being asked to participate in a survey or University of Oregon stu dents being conducted this week and next week by a class in business administration for Erb Memorial Student Union. The students are being inter viewed tin ring the two-week period by members of Kwama, sophomore women’s honorary. The survey is designed to sup ply important data to the 1 ni versity. Students who reeeive post eurds or phone ealls in connec tion with the survey are urged to comply with the request that they appear for the interview at Chapman Hall at the desig nated time. It they are unable to appear at the stated time, they may call the Student l n ion office, extension (il‘2, to ar range for another time. SU Budget Is Approved The Student Union Board i Wednesday approved a SI0.652 ! expense budget for the 1961-62 academic year. Projected total income available from SU spon sored functions, budget appropri ation, and other sources is $17, 652. Last year's 1961-62 revised budget expenses were $11,335. THE EXPENSES are lower this year because the Northwest Art Acquisition program is down ■51,000 from last year’s budget. Paintings to be bought by the SU from their Northwest artists' show to be held in May will run less than anticipated. SU Board Chairman John Phil lips said that he ‘ had acted like Walter Pearson” and ‘‘clipped and trimmed” the economic fat from the budget. Fir the first time since 1956, a full student salary of $730 will go to student administrators in the Student Union. Of the total salary, 40 per cent will go to the Student Union Board Chairmen, 40 per cent to the Directorate Chairman and 20 per cent to the SU Board Sec retary. Adelle McMillan, SU Program Director, said that salary will be paid to the SU Board Chairman next year because of the excep tional work done by Phillips. A $100 cut in the budget for the SU art gallery was restored for additional SU shows. It had been suggested that sponsoring as many shows as usual would take the energies of the creative arts committee better used on the Northwest Art Acquisition Program which is budgeted at $2,500. The Board has called petitions for Directorate committee chair man and Board representatives from the various University schools. Petitions are due April 25. Nominations for members-at large on the Board will be made on the April 26 Board meeting. The new Board members will be chosen for the May 24 th meet ing. yet they accept it in world so cietv. "Perhaps future generations will see this in a different light." As yet. he went on. there are no governments willing to accept the sacrifices of sovereignty re quired to make the UN a more effective instrument of the world government than it is. STILL, according to Boland, the Assembly has become “the town meeting of the world to a greater extent than before.” The United Nations has also become the most powerful me dium in the world today for ga thering public opinion and con centrating them on critical is sues of international conduct and policy. By doing so, it helps to keep the world political consci ence active and aiert and, when necessary, to give it positive and clear expression. “THAT, in my opinion, is one of the most important functions of the General Assembly," stated Boland. _ “WE NEED wider vision, a broader sense of community, a new intellectual horizon, the dawn of a truly international pa triotism, in keeping with the common destiny and the common jeopardy of mankind in this nu clear age.” CHALLENGE! Can we meet the new competition*7 “In the forty years that have elapsed since its Revolu tion, Russia has devoted a far larger portion of its gross national product to education than have we. As a result of this intense commitment to education on the part of the Soviets, we as a nation are presented for the first time with a challenge to our leadership in all of the values that we cherish. . “If we rightly interpret the significance of this event, our first reaction of dismay and consternation will herald a rededication of ourselves to the best that we have learned from our first century of educational effort. We have a longer and a stronger tradition, greater resources in depth and diversity, a freedom of enterprise, and a talent for innovation which can all combine to more than redress the present balance and carry us to new heights of educational accoihplishment if we display the requisite wisdom and determination.” " GAYLORD P.

Yet the hard facts are these: 1. Low salaries are not only driving gifted college teachers into other fields but are steadily reducing the number of qualified people who choose college teaching as a career. 2.
