This year the symposium was recorded on the twentieth of January in the high school auditorium, The panel mem- bers were Lowell Brower, Roger Barkley, Vern Ogden, and Danny Hanseng the pro- blem was Should the United States Continue its support of the United Nations ? Lowell and Roger advocated with- drawal while Vern and Danny maintained the conservative view. Following the construc- tive arguments was a period of audience participation in which anyone was given a chance to direct questions pertaining to the topic to the panel members. Art Smith, manager of WNAX, was in charge of the program and John Schmidt, director of adult education in Sioux City, acted as our mod- erator. In former years the panel members have been invited to attend the Leeds Work Shop in the spring: this year, how- ever, instead of the regular broadcast by WNAX, a tele- vision program was arranged and presented over a new channel set up by the radio station. The members conduct- ed an informal panel discussion on a very thought-provoking subject. Mr. Frank J. Shaw offered assistance and advice and accompanied the four to Sioux City. He deserves the thanks which those of the panel ex- tend to him.
