wonm N THE afternoon of Monday, March 25, an enterprising young man named jules Bergman, who was currently Staff Photographer for The Hatchet, approached Faculty Adviser Mr. Martyn with a novel proposition. How about trying to take in the U.N.O. meetings at Hunter College and get some photos and a write-up for the '46 G. W. yearbook? The Faculty Adviser paused a moment and looked skeptical. Then he nodded, No harm trying. The next morning, Tuesday, March 26, found Jules on the Hunter College campus bright and early, armed with credentials from his school. He met the usual rebuffs from the guards at the college grounds, but finally got into the office of one of the top officials in charge of admissionsg and to put things briefly, he wound up with a pass to the regular press gallery, with permission to take photographs and make interviews wherever practicable. It happened that March 26 was a somewhat memorable day in U.N.O. affairs, for it was on this day that the Russian delegate walked out of the meet- ing in protest over the matter of discussing the Iranian question. Young Mr. Bergman sat in the press gallery among the world's famous in the field of journalism taking it all in and snapping pictures right and left. We take pleasure in presenting some of jules Bergman's pictures of the famous U.N.O. meeting, and we take pride also in the thought that probably we scooped the world of high school journalism on this particular occasion, at least as far as yearbooks are concerned. jules wrote a rather detailed account of the day's events and the significance of the Council's work as it appeared to him, but the limits of our available space permit us to print only a small part of the interesting information and comment that he gathered: A hush fell over the Council chamber as Dr. Quo, the President, entered. Seated around the Council table were the men upon whom the world had laid the responsibility of keeping the peace. In the balcony and all about the chamber were the reporters, photographers and radio men who would tell the world of the actions of the Security Council. For every delegate to the council there were 181 reporters, altogether almost 2,000. Only forty-five members of the general public had been admitted, the rest of the chamber was occupied by marines, guests of the Secretary-General, special guards, and U.N. employees. In the very front of the maple-walled and beige-draped room sat the eleven members of the Security Council. Directly in front of them, the interpreters and members of the Secretariat were seated. The television floodlights, cameras, and rushing messengers gave the whole chamber an air of expectancy . . . And now slight, bespectacled Dr. Quo was about to address the Council: 'I call the twenty-sixth meeting of the Security Council open. First on the agenda this morning is the report of the sub-committee appointed to establish the order of the voting procedure on the Iranian question . . . ' So much for jules Bergman, one of the best in a long line of line staff photographers who have served on Hatchet boards throughout the years. May good luck and success go with him always! it 'A' it
