CC Group Goes To UNC
BY BOB ROBERTSON
Collegian News Editor
Charlotte College’s CCUN sent
a delegation to represent Japan at
the Regional Intercollegiate Model
United Nations Assembly held at
UNC in Chapel Hill April 9-11.
The Assembly discussed the prob
lems of the reduction of arma
ments, the admission of Communist
China to the UN, a permanent
emergency police force, the Middle
East question, and the Kashmir
dispute.
The CC delegation included
Glenn Allen, Margaret Fisher,
Judie Joseph, Jim La Roach, Kan-
ela Maydanis, Jerry Owens, and
Mrs. Edyth Winningham, advisor.
CHARLOrrE MEE'riNG
In preparation for the statewide
CCUN assembly, the Charlotte
College chapter was host to an
area assembly held at the school
on March 19.
About 30 delegates from John
son C. Smith, Sacred Heart, Dav
idson, and CC joined in a model
UN General Assembly discussion
of Japan’s resolution to ban all
nuclear testing for eieghteen
months, establish inspection teams,
and to work toward eventual com
plete nuclear disarmament.
Some fifteen nations had chairs
in the assembly, and the discus
sion of the resolution revealed not
only a keen interest in the inter
national problem but also much
study and preparation by many of
the representatives. The meeting
-was given a true international
flavor by the presence of students
from West Germany, Switzerland,
Ghana, and Cuba. Mrs. Winning
ham served as assembly chairman.
The meeting was not without its
amusing moments either. The rep
resentative from the United King
dom suggested that the assembly
was perhaps not in full agreement
as to the dangers, if any, from
nuclear weapons fallout. At this
statement Ghana’s representative
queried the British delegation as
to why Britain didn’t then test its
bombs on the steps of Parliament
in London rather than on remote
Christmas Island. The United
Kingdom replied that it recognized
the dangers of fallout itself but
had raised the point for discussion
merely to find out if the dissenters
were in the minority.
A twenty minute break permit
ted the enjoyment of refreshments
after which the assembly heard a
report from West Germany’s Ernst
Schoenfelder in which West Ger
man college students gave the rea
sons for their stand against Ger
man rearmament.
While the student assembly bog
ged down on the same points as
its international progenitor (i.e.
how many and which nations should
make up the inspection teams), all
agreed that the meeting was a gen
uine success.

In his lecture he will discuss,
among other things, what science
holds in prospect for the future, a
long look ahead to see how your
life will be altered by the atom,
and a look at the horizons of
science.
It has been said that no one
realizes better than Dr. Lapp the
wide gulf between the science lab
oratory and the public’s awareness
of what is going on behind the
scenes. Neither a prophet of gloom
nor an idealistic Pollyanna, he pre
sents both the somber and the
bright side of the atomic problem,
giving background on each so that
his audience can visualize what the
future may hold.
An unusual combination of
scientist and writer, he is devoting
his principal energies to increas
ing public knowledge of scientific
advance by the written and the
spoken word. He wrote the first
popular book in this country on
atomic defense in “Must We Hide?”
Later, he wrote “The New Force,”
and his most recent work is “Atoms
and People.” He has frequently
contributed to The Saturday Eve
ning Post, Life, Reader’s Digest,
and other leading magazines.
Dr. Lapp played a major con
tributory role in the developments
that marked the first decade of
the Atomic Age. From the famous
Manhattan Project to the reality
of the H-bomb, he has worked
alongside such distinguished nu
clear scientists as Dr. Arthur H.
Com])ton, the late Dr. A. J. Demp
ster, discoverer of U-235, and Dr.
Vannevar Bush.
A graduate of the University of
Chicago, where he also received
his doctorate in physics, Dr. Lapp
served in postwar years as Assist
ant Director of the Argonne Na
tional Laboratory until appointed
Scientific Advisor to the War De
partment General Staff. He was
then made Executive Director of
Dr. Bush’s Research and Develop
ment Board in Washington, and
later became head of the Nuclear
Physics Branch of the Office of
Naval Research.
Dr. Lapp has been serving indus
try as a science consultant since
1949, when he became Director of
Nuclear Science Service in Wash
ington, D. C.
