Author of the book is John Kosa, a sociologist and .UNC associate professor of . biostatistics. His work of ters a complete pic ture of the process o indoctrina tion of individuals and groups in society, discusses the techniques of .coercion and control, and ana lyzes the various types of man that emerge as the result of this gigantic ' manipulation - of-the-man effort. , The "faithful believer," the "lukewarm or halfhearted believ er " the "opportunist" and the "faithless type" are presented through their characteristic beha vior toward their environment, the Party, their work and the society in whole. Dr Kosa's vehicle for obtaining information about this second gen eration of Soviet man was through the "tell-a-story" method. He in terviewed a small, selected group of refugees from behind the Iron Curtain and asked them to narrate a fictional story about the Com munist regime. In this way, he solicited the uninhibited attitudes of the storytellers.

Tindall concludes that the gen eral tenor of .the seven books he reviewed "leads one to the in evitable speculation that in the of the National Educational Tele vision-Radio Center, who is pres ently visiting in Chapel ill. The target date is January 1964. novelty to most of those countries under Communist rule today where Communism has been built upon the ruins of autocracy and dicta torial powers and not upon the remnants of a democratic system. Dr. Kosa's study primarily at tempts to see whether or not this campaign for enforced conformity among the second generation of So viet man has proved to be effec tive in the Eastern European satel lite countries. Stalin apparently failed in his calculations despite the elaborate plans to ' manipulate and re-form the minds of men in these coun tries. The revolts in Poland and Hungary in 1956 prove that the application of force alone will not make the Soviet model accept able. Since that time, methods of in doctrination nave become more subtle and much less offensive to cultural or national sentiments. The author feels that the great hope of those behind artificial curtains of our times lies in the improve ment of communications and un derstanding between the two sys tems. Dr. Kosa was born in Hungary and taught at the universities of Budapest and Szeged before com ing to America in 1950. He is the author of "Land of Choice: The Hungarians in Canada," and five books in his native tongue. Articles next decade the center of the most serious inter-group tensions may shift from the South to the metropolitan North." Pointing out that the North is already experiencing such tensions to a certain extent, Prof. Tindall reminds his readers that "many of the inadequacies with which the metropolitan North must struggle were spawned in the sep arate but unequal South." "TECHNICAL PAPER 4" A UNC professor has just pub lished a paper which businessmen and economists will find useful in the study of long-term growth of business activity. He is Professor of Economic Statistics Dudley J. Cowden. His paper is entitled "Technical Paper 4: Weights for Fitting Polynomial Secular Trends." In addition to aiding business men in studying business activi ty, Dr. Cowden's paper will also help them to determine the cycles which fluctuate around the busin ess trend. The purpose of "Technical Pa per 4" is to provide a simple and easy method of business trend measurement. 7 & 1 f J ' T, if'' (Network hookup would mean that WUNC-FM listeners could hear such programs as live meet ings of the United Nations while they are in progress, live concerts of the Philadelphia Oratorical Choir, the New Haven and Hart ford Symphonies, and the New England Conservatory. In addition to receiving pro grams, WUNC-FM would be con tributing to the network by broad casting programs to other ERN affiliates. ERJN emphasizes public affairs in relation to current events as op posed to "hard core news" advo cated by commercial stations. The network attempts to give a "back ground in depth" of current events, and to interpret, rather than to make, news. "In order to do a significant jab in broadcasting today," s'a i d Quayle, "stations must pool their resources. No one station will have the budget or resources to do it alone," he said. The great majority of INorth Carolina's population are -within the broadcasting area of WUNC FM; network hookup" would in crease its potential conceivably throughout the United States.

Dr Andrew Scott of the Politica: science Department said yester day in reference to the United Na tions summer internship program, This program was initiated last year by the International Relations Staff of the University of North Carolina. According to Scott, the program pleased everyone including the Secretariat so much, that it has been extended to other schools. The number of available positions has also been increased. Earl Koontz, one of last year's interns, found the experience so profitable that he plans to work with the United (Nations on his own this summer. "There is a great need for spe cialized help in the U.N. during the summer months." Koontz said. "because the UJN. is not normally in session and personnel take va cations during this period." Tony Harrington, another intern ast year, said, "It is the most valuable summer experience any one can have." "The class assimilation with the operations of the organizations and close contact with the various people in all different offices on very high levels makes this the best internship program in the United States." Harrington-said, nearly -everyone of the interns had his own office,1 phone and secretary. Also they met many of the top officials- in the United Nations, including Secre taryGeneral Thant. "Anyone interested in Interna tional Relations, not just political science 'majors1 interested in the United Nations,, should . apply," Koontz .emphasized. Last year two political science majors and two history majors were selected. "Our feeling in the Political Science Department is that this type program is extremely impor tant. "The interns don't serve as per sonnel who do routine typing or clerical work," he said. "They are put on interesting assignments. "In recent years the whole idea of internships has proven success ful on state and national levels. This is an attempt to extend the internship principle to the inter national level." The experience in many cases is helpful to research in fields as varied as population, economics, foreign aid, technical diplomacy, unilateral diplomacy and contem porary history, he said. Four internships will be avail able this year. At least one posi tion will be filled by a graduate student. Applications will be accepted from any student who will have completed his junior year by the end of this academic year but who will not have finished his senior year. Selection will be made by a three-man committee consisting of professors Frederic Cleaveland, Keener P razer and Andrew .Scott. Ability, preparation and interest in the field of international affairs will be the criteria used by ifae committee. Interns will work in the United Nations throughout July and -August 1963. They will be assigned duties with the Secretariat in such branches as the Technical Assist ance Board and the Special Fund. Application forms can be ob tained from (Mrs. Richey, Room 101, Caldwell Hall. All applications must be returned to the office by Jan. 11, 1963. .

The partially assembled nativity scene on the lawn - of ' the Methodist Church looked cold and lifeless. The gay , Christmas decorations in store windows seemed somehow tired and lacked the festive touch. Faint strains of Christmas carols corning-from the "Support Your Community" booth ' only added to the atmosphere ' of gloom. The few people on the street al so mirrored the day s dejection. Twenty people passed. A boy and girl walking hand in hand were the only two who smiled. The scene in a Chapel Hill dime store was somewhat more lively. Only a few shoppers were in the store, but most of them seemed more aware of the approaching Christmas season than the people on the street. Two middle-aged women were consulting each other at the decor ations counter.

Then she shook her head rueful ly and added, "But they have so much glee It's just wonderful." Her companion was looking for some "simple decorations." "I don't know whether to get this stuff or not. I know I'll be sorry if I do. I just know I'll be sorry," she said again and again. A tired clerk looked at her watch repeatedly. With the can of sewing machine oil, the picture hangers, notebook and thread in one shopper's cart was a package of Christmas cards and some red and green ribbon. Another wore a Christmas cor sage on her raincoat. An elderly gentleman unloaded a cart heaped with various yule tide decorations at the check-out counter. His bill was $18.50. College girls pondered' over wrapping paper. But the store belonged to the children. "Is he a balloon?" asked a wide eyed little boy, pointing to a rub ber reindeer.

Division of the committee into five parts was announced by Chair man Bob Spearman. The five parts and their func tions: . 1) The Exhibits Committee puts up various displays arouna ine campus, such as the recent one in the library showing the organiza tion of Student Government. It is headed by Jack Neal. 2 J The Interschool Committee is corresponding with schools across the nation in order to exchange information on mutual problems j and ideas. The chairman is Allison Webb. Michigan, Vanderbilt, Duke and California have already been contacted and an exchange is underway. - . , . 3J The Publicity Committee, ieaded by Owen Bishop, is respon sible ' for informing the student through the Daily Tar Heel and campus bulletin boards about the work of different organizations of Student Government.

A small boy with a police badge store making imaginary arrests and whistle was racing about the while his brother pleaded for a red car coat and green felt skirt, tugged at her mother's skirt trying to show her that special doll. The excitement and gleeful an ticipation of the holiday season which the children radiated lifted much of the gloom from the faces of shoppers and clerks alike. These young shoppers did little to increase the store's business, however.

L 1 Tip New York Group Near Collapse Under Pressure Larry Phelps confirmed his plans yesterday to travel to Cuba over Christmas in spite of State De partment warnings and the with drawal of 62 of the students from the Cuban paid trip. Phelps, a 21-year-old UNC stu dent, said that he, Dennis King, and John Salter would leave Chap el Hill Thursday for Toronto where they would make plane connections to Cuba on Sunday. In spite of stiff State Depart ment warnings of fines or impris onment, Phelps said that "You can't be sure how the State De partment will react in a situation such as this. The prospects of their acting to stop us are slim." Phelps said that he was not sur prised by the withdrawal of many students from the trip, in fact, ha said, "The feeling was that two thirds of those who signed up for the trip would drop out." UPI Wire reports yesterday stated that the Castro sponsored tour of Cuba promoted by a New York student group faced collapse Monday after a massive withdraw al of scheduled participants. Sixty-two students of Buffalo State University withdraw from the all-expense-paid junket after a strong State Department warn ings of fines or imprisonment. Travel to Cuba is illegal without a specially validated passport. Tour sponsors headed by Ana. ?! , Isc Scosser, 25 of New I York City, were reported seeking to save the expedition from total fan?mgf!. the, free Christmas holiday" offer to all comers, and not just university students. It was estimated last week when the travel group's plans were ex i posed that perhaps as many as 1250 students might make the trip. ! Schlossberg said they would come from City College of New York and NYU, as well as the Univer sities of Wisconsin, Chicago, North Carolina, California, Vermont and Toronto, Boston U., Harvard, Ober lin and others. Reliable sources said travel "die hards" in New York planned to leave for Toronto this Saturday to catch a free Cuban government plane to Havana. The switch in takeoff point from Montreal to Toronto apparently was intended to becloud the group's travel plans. The sources said the junket now was open to all who could provide $25 for round-trip transportation to Toronto. All other expenses are being paid by tbe Castro regime. STATE AFFAIRS "Chances of Carolina getting a new Student Union soon look fairly gocd." Bill Hoyle, Chairman of the State Affairs Committee, was com menting on capital improvements at UNC. "We must encourage the State Legislature to appoint funds for needed improvements," he said during a Communications Com mittee interview. "We have writ ten every legislator in Raleigh and are visiting them as much as pos sible." "We will definitely get a new Student Union and Undergraduate Library, and the only question is when." he added. "If we can get the money appropriated in the next session it could be completed by the Spring of "64." When asked what students could do to help, Hoyle said that they could "Talk with their represen tatives in the Legislature. The in dividual student can abo talk to the voters in his district and urge them to vote for capital improve ments." "The State Affairs Comrrulttee has used almost every news media in North Carolina to publicize the needs of UNC, and we need the help of every student."
