United Nations workshop held by Valerie Ray Meredith hosted a workshop and dinner in ob servance of United Nations Week on Thursday, Oct. 19. Dr. Lisa Sergio, an in ternational news analyst, and the honorable Max Vance Krebs, former Ambassador to Guyana, and other distinguished guests led the celebration activities. The workshop, which focused on the success of the United Nations, began with a panel discussion. ' David Harcharik, from N.C.S.U., represented a U.N. agency committee to forest development which sponsors practical projects in poor countries. He explained the application of forestry to help individual needs, such as, planting fruit trees to increase the fo^ supply. Ralph W. Cummings, a world leader in agricultural development, discussed the U.N.’s research program to help countries keep pace with the food demand by improving their agricultural methods. Sheryl E. Manley represented U.N.I.C.E.F. and emphasized the plight of children born in un derdeveloped nations. She described the procedures of projects to aid children and the results of these programs. Simply digging a deep water well providing pure water can help tremendously in the fight against disease, which is a severe cause of children’s high mortality rate. Dr. Sergio closed the workshop with the topic of technology. She stressed the need for careful consideration in in troducing advanced technology into lesser developed countries in order to avoid cultural shock. She presented the responsibility of the United States’ aid as opposed to communist aid to help perserve the political freedom of underdeveloped nations. Students of junior and senior high schools from Raleigh, Garner, Cary, Wake Forest, Fuquay-Varina and Zebulon attended the U.N. workshop. The U.N. dinner was also open to the public. The theme was enhanced by a menu of international recipes. Former Ambassador Krebs spoke on “Dollar Diplomacy To Global Diplomacy: Making the Transition to the Twenty- First Century.” Afterwards, Dr. Sergio commented on his remarks. Dr. Rosalie Prince Gates, Associate Professor of History, was chairman of the United Nations Day Ob servance for the City of Raleigh by appointment of Mayor Cannon. This was the fifth year Dr. Gates has received this appointment. For her work she has received four Distinguished Service Awards and a Medalion from the City of Raleigh. “I believe that the college community and the com munity at large can and should interact creatively,” said Dr. Gates. “I believe that this is what education is all about, especially a liberal arts education. I also believe deeply that we should think in terms of world peace and of being global citizens.” She added that this does not mean that she is not deeply proud of being an American, but she agrees with Benjamin Franklin who said that he looked forward to the time when he could call every country his own because human rights and political freedom would be there. Visiting Representatives Talk About Seminaries by Cathy White There are many op portunities coming soon for students interested in seminary study and con temporary ministry. For those students in terested in attending a seminary, there will be two informal interview times in November with seminary representatives. On Wed nesday, November 8, 11:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m. an interview session will be with Sue Ann Morrow, a representative of Duke University Divinity School; Durham, North Carolina. The second session will be held on Friday, November 10, 9:00 a.m. During this time. Brain Stenfors of Drew University Theological School; Madison, New Jersey will represent his school. These informal in terview times are good for exploring opportunities for ministry and comparing notes on what different schools have to offer (including financial aid). Students interested in these interview sessions should let Marge Rodbert in the Campus Minister’s office know in which schools they are interested and should turn in a paper with times listed when they can interview to 102 Johnson Hall or should call Extension 346. Interviews will be held in the Blue Parlor. If any students have questions about these in terview sessions or other phases of religious study, they :.ould feel free to call or come 1 the Campus Minister’s Office, 102 Johnson Hall for further information.
