I love thee in the murders of iVIacbeth, In all those scenes of blood and night and death. I love thee in the Queen-A4oon ' s starry fays I love thee in the ballads of old days And in the last of Maggie ' s drowning breath. I love thee in the beauty and the faith Of Autumn ' s mellow, misty, moisty haze. I love thee in the ode and epigram And in the essay, cliche and the pun. I love thee in that dreadful word exam. That was not done when it was madly done. I love thee very dearly and I am Saddened to see the end of all our fun.

SAMARA 25 United Nations ' Day October 24, 1961 Proud and breeze-whipped, a hundred and two banners tug at their ropes, as though im- patient to get on with the world ' s most impor- tant business— peace. They paint a rippling band of colour across the main building of the headquarters of the United Nations. One hundred and one of them fiV ' at equal height. The alphabet alone deter- mines their position in the graceful arch. But hioher still we find the flasT of the United Nations itself, supreme above them all. In the middle of this pale blue flag is the globe seen from the north pole. The blue stands for human dignity and the olive branch which encircles the globe stands for peace. The Unite d Nations is a strongly organized group of countries try- ing to solve the world ' s problems. The people of the United Nations are determined to try to save the future generations from the fate of war. To achieve this end the United Nations ' purposes and principles are 1) to maintain peace and security; 2) to develop friendly re- lations between nations; 3) to co-operate in- ternally, and 4) to be the centre for the actions of all nations. The United Nations officially came into existence on October 24th, 1945 when mem- bers from 50 countries pledged their govern- ments to form an assembly and to work to- gether in all difficulties. October 24th is now a universal celebration called United Nations ' Day. Ann Thurn. The United Nations — Battlefield of Peace On June 26, 1945, representatives from 50 countries met in San Francisco, to sign the charter of the United Nations. The actual date on which the charter came into effect was October 24, of that same year. ' Its predecessor was the League of Nations, begun in 1919. However, because of the League ' s failure to keep the peace, it was dis- solved and this new organization was formed to take its place, in the hope that it would be able to attain that goal. There have been other world organizations with the same objective— Augustus sought security for his Roman world through ' Justice ' , Gregory sought it through ' Christian Brother- hood ' , Napoleon through ' Law ' and the Grand Army, A ' letternick through ' Legitimacy ' and Woodrow Wilson through ' Democracy ' . But, the San Francisco conference sought security through security. It stressed the ultimate goal rather than the means. The ideals of the U.N. are not new, they stretch into the very depths of history. They echo and amplify the liberties of the Magna Carta. They strive to give a frame to the pic- tures drawn by the prophets and sages of yesteryear. There are six principal organs of the U.N. The first is the General Assembly. This is the main parliament in which each member has a single vote without a veto or other special privileges. This assembly forms resolutions, not orders. The second is the security council which has five permanent members: the U.K., the U.S., the U.S.S.R., Nationalist China and France. There are six other members which are elected every two years. Here, in the security council the veto principle applies, but may be exercised only by the five great powers. The third is the economic and social council which is made up of 18 members concerned with economic and social problems and their solu- tions. The fourth is the international court of justice located at The Hague and comprised of distinguished judges from member countries of the U.N. It is primarily set up to settle disputes between nations and to give advisory opinion to the other bodies of the organization. The fifth is the trusteeship which regulates the trust territories, which were taken from the
