COMMENT The Belgrade Conference 66 n by Peter Fay The Boy Friend" Stars Rohde, Kent, McMillan This past summer bma been <me of political ocdvliy. The po- litical observers have said that one of the meet important events has been the Belgrade conference of Don -allgned nations. This group which was commonly known ais "aonrals," has Just emerged as a power lo be reckoned with, since the admission of several newly- independent Asian and AfrtcanNa- [ions to tlte United Nations last faU. Basically, the heads of state discussed various topics that af- fected them. Among these were colonialism (which was unani- mously denounced), further ef- forts to Insure peace, a request to President Kennedy and Chairman Khruchchev to meet and seek so- luHflns to world problems, and a condemnation of the Soviet Union tor its decision to resume nuclear testing. However, there were other ac- compllshmrats of these meetings, of greater value. First, those na- tions termed "noD -allgned" na- tions are steadfast ID their posi- tion as neutrals, and this position Is not Just a frotn. These nations do not Intend lobe swayed by finan- cial grants or technical assistance, for they are mainly Interested In enabling their countries to surge ahead as quickly as possible, and as independent powers. These actions call forarevlslon <rf U.S. foreign policy, so that we may gain the respect of these na- tions. It would seem to this writer that such action would not be of such nature that would damage the esteem of the U.SL which we Americans value so dearly. These nations are doggedly de- termined not to be swayed from their objective, and this confereiKe has clearly shown the unity (rf their (pinion. They are adamant In their de- mands for peace, and since ttuy have now formed a formldible block, they will see that their de- mands are upheld. So, this confereoce has shown a strength of purpose not known known before, which will now be an important voice In the world. In the mouths of the "non-aligned" powers of tlK world.

Individual af^lntments widi guidance coun- selors will begin this Thursday, Sept. 21. The students may make af^intmorts but they wUl not be scheiiiled unless the Activity Re- cord and the College Planning Worksheet have been Hlled out and handed In to the Guidance Office. Guidance counselors will not be available until Unirsday for any reason because they are figuring grade averages. The counselors will begin meeting with parents a week after they begin with students. However, the counselors would prefer to see the individual stu- dents alone before they meet with' the parents. The counselors said that i t I s necessary for all college-bound students to Qke the College Board S A T s to meet the entrance re- quirements of almost all colleges. These exams are administered In December and January, The coun- selors recommended that we take the Mornings In Dec. a long with the Writing Sample ifwe so desire, and the Afternoons or Achievements in Jan. We were also told that the P,S,A.T.'s are necessary for cer- tain scholarships. When we apply we will make three applications and of these three, the counselors recommend one "anchor school'", a college that we are sure to get in. one that we would probably get In, and one "moon-shot", a school at which we have no idea whether or not we would be accepted. Each of us will have three apfdlcatlons processed and sent in and we may have a fourth or fifth, but we must wait until everyone has had three sent In. An applications must be made throu^ the school.

Themeetlngwas held in the cafeteria, which added to the confusion. New and old students, teachers, committee chalrmeit. and officers were all milling a- round trying toget something done. One other cause for ccmfuslon was the (act that most of the repre- sentatives did not sign i^i in tlK G,0, room as they should have. Rqiresentatives must sign up or every meeting will be tike the first. Finally everyone settled down and Peter Donovan began to read his welcome address to the coun- cU. The fact that he prepared an address Is all well and good, bui be should not have read It to such an unattentlve groif). I feel more welcome If a person talks to me than If he reads a pr^wred state- ment. What Peter read was inqrartant. He outlined the most current plans for the G,0. He Stressed Port's- a-Poppln, whtch will be held two nights, October 6th & 7th. He an- nounced that the "Colgate 13", Jackie Roblnsmi, and a German delegate will be three of this year's assembly programs. Mr. Fllc<9, the student councU advisor, stated that every week, on either TiKsday or Wednesday, the G.O. representative should be given half the history period to discuss the past meeting. He also said that homerooms are welcome to visit the council meetings at any time, if they doso In an orderly manner. I recommend that every homeroom visit thecounctlailbast twice during the year. This ts your councU and you should know more about its internal workings. The treasury situation looks hod. We have J70 in the treasury but $600 should come from last years carnival. The total Is stlU not oiough to keep our active CO. going. Your suffmrt Is the answer to this problem. ^Olu^ Speaks On Nigeria Asks For Objectivity by Julie WiLsoa On Thursday, September 7, almost everyone In school had the opportimity, throygh their history classes, of hearing Adebisi Morayo Olusanya, "Olu, " a twenty-year-old student from Nigeria, speak about hie country, Africa, communism, the West, and the current world scene. Olu, who was staying with Hal Lenke for four days,came to school Thursday morning and was Introduced to Mr.Charles Kezar, W<x-ld History Teacher. Mr. Kezar asked Olu to speak to the hl^ school students, and with no furtha~ notice du did ^leak. for six and a half how-s, fc«- every period except one thn-ing trtdcfa be ate lunch. Olu thou^n our students inter- ested and polite, and was pleased with the Imelligence and inqiar- tance of the questions which were asked him. A typical question from a high school audience In theSoioh would l>e, "How many elephants have you seen in your life?" Olu I Phots Br Rsb Hrd* "Do not beUere evcrytUng you re-d" "Ohi" speaking in the •uditori- um. Mr. Charles Kezar, who in- vited him to school for the day, sits to the left. said. Such questions, not peculiar ;o the South, bespeak the Ignorance .al Africa that most Americans have, he adriHl. Olu was also iinressed with the school system and thinks it Is ooe of the best be has seen In the States. He was surfrlsed to find that [Aysics, chemistry and math are offered, even stressed, here, while ttey are no In the South, (au enters his stftaoaKre year at P W o Br >f°» Hrdi AdeUsi Mor«y« Olusanya, ("Olu") Morehouse Colle^ In Atlana, Getrgla, on the eighteenth of this month. He is concentrating in the field 4^ physics and math; he wants to be a mechanical engineer when )K retirns to Nigeria, and plans to ff> to MJLT. in 1962-63.) He Is undo-slandably disturbed by the false impression that news stories and "authoritative" books have created about Africa, In every parlod he stressed one thing; never take for (xaKed as beingtrueany- thing youread. Evo-ything you read ami see must be considered with an open mind, objectively. He went on to say that the best way to find out the irKh about a country and Its people Is to get to know the people personally, and to try to undo"- stand their ideas, government, and way at life ihrou^ diem. During the coia-se d the year articles by Mr. Olusanya will be p-liUed in'TheSchreiberTlmes,"- giving us the va-y jreclous oppor- tunity of learning about another coumry from one al lis cltbens.
