Weeks of debates and consulta
tions between the world powers
resulted in the U. N. Security Coun
cil decision to authorize Secretary-
General Thant to appoint a mediator
and peace keeping force in Cyprus
(for three months) to achieve set
tlement of the differences between
the Greek-Turkish Cypriots.
Now the Secretary-General has to
face the selection of the mediator
and a voluntary peace-keeping force.
On the assumption that this will be
achieved, the Secretary-General
would have to extend the period
assigned the police force at the end
of the allotted three months, since
the chances for reaching a satisfac

this period is doubted. Besides the
financial difficulties, such an exten
sion would face Soviet, Czechoslo
vak, and French objections, which
would determine the reopening of
debates again.
President Johnson held a press
conference recently in which he
touched lightly on some of the for
eign issues confronting the United
States now. According to his views
at this conference, Vietnam is left
to McNamara’s investigation team
and the agreement reached in Cy

President Kennedy that Johnson is
on a larger scale relying on Congress
and aides. Either Johnson policy is
action not words or the president is

Student Body
Favors Merger
On February 25, 1964, the Louis
burg College student body voted 371
to 30 in favor of combining the
men’s and women’s student govem-
i ments into one student government
association.
At the first meeting this year of
the Men’s Student Government, Bill
Mowbray, president, mentioned the
I idea and asked the members to con
sider it. The council discussed the
idea with various students, and the
general opinion was favorable as
was exemplified in the voting.
The men’s government invited the
women’s government to meet with
them on February 20, 1964, to dis
cuss this merger. The members
agreed wholeheartedly. Most of the
administration and faculty expressed
their approval.
