The U.N. Seminar Report The tenth annual United Nations Seminar, which I had the privilege of attending, was held from August 13th to 17th, at the Manitoba Teachers College. There were a 107 students present from Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario —two girls to every boy in the group. On Monday morning, we received a welcome to the Seminar from Mr. L. J. Perry, the chairman; and he also introduced us to the representatives of the sponsoring agencies. After the break Mr. Leo Malania, our guest speaker, gave us an introduction to the United Nations. Mr. Leo Malania is at present chief of the General As¬ sembly Section in the Executive Office of the Secretary- General. He has been a member of the U.N. Secretariat since 1946 and for the past 12 years he has served as Special Assistant in the Office of the Secretary-General. Some of his topics were Human Rights, U.N. as an instru¬ ment of reconciliation, and UNESCO. Some of the other speakers were Mr. F. W. Hamilton, Mrs. Gordon Konantz, Mr. W. S. W. Neville, Mr. James Milne, and Prof. A. S. R. Tweedie. The speaker I enjoyed most was Mrs. Gordon Konantz, who lectured on UNICEF in the Middle and Far East. Most of the lectures were held in the morning, and the afternoons were spent in discussion groups. We were divided into nine groups, each with a leader. We discussed various topics such as “Melting Icebergs in the Sahara Desert” to “Is Total Disarmament Possible?” This was the working part of the Seminar, but there was also entertainment. The first evening we saw a number of U.N. Films. We had lunch in the Assembly Room at the T. Eaton Company on Tuesday. That evening we played volleyball and baseball till 8:45. After this, each group planned an item of entertainment for the next evening. Wednesday around 4:30 we walked to the Assiniboine Park. Here Dr. Voss gave us a guided park tour, making it quite interesting. At 5:45 we had lunch at the Park Pavilion. After a laborious walk back, we gathered in the Campus Drill Hall to present our skits. Following this there was dancing and “The Key Notes” sang a number of songs. Thursday morning, we went with the bus to the Legis¬ lative Buildings, where Duff Roblin spoke to us for a few minutes. After a guided tour through the building, we had lunch at H.B.C. That evening, the last one, we went to the Rainbow Stage and enjoyed Oklahoma. In the morning, we had inter-group reporting and Mr. L. J. Perry spoke on “You and the U.N.” After lunch, we were dismissed. All in all, it was a very interesting week. Waking in the middle of the night to find my roommate sick, walking through the tunnel, being late for breakfast, sitting on the hard benches in the assembly—these were some of the experiences which I will never forget. In closing I would like to thank my sponsors the A.C. Student Council, the Altona School Board, and the Chamber of Commerce for making this memorable week at the Seminar possible. — E rna Hiebert 10
