Fifteen countries are represented by all nineteen students. U. N. Week To Be Observed United Nations Week will be celebrated October 24th through the 29th. The United Nations is made up of 60 members all of which are independent nations. The main purpose af the United Nations is to maintain interna tional peace and security and to take effective measures to pre vent and remove threats to world peace. Therefore, the job of the United Nations has been to build an organization that will be effective in keeping the peace without any power to compel obedience of its recommendations. There is much to be done to make the UN a better organiza tion. The job is to build it up, not to destroy it, and to make it work for the benefit of all free men. The freshmen chapel on Wed nesday, October 2£, will be in connection with United Nations Day. Mrs. Raymond Smith of the Greensboro League of Women Voters will be the speaker. The upperclass chapel on October 27th will see a film entitled "With the Quakers in Korea." This film wil l be sponsored by the IRC.
