THE COMPANY OF CURRENT Where are you going? How clearly do you see your future ? Are you personally committed to a certain goal? Are you dedicated to a specific aim? The Library was filled; as the Conference began. According to Mr. Walker, the purpose of his organization is to encourage youth participation in World Affairs. He feels that every generation needs a challenge and a cause. Our cause is not to change, but to expose. And, since we have the means, the challenge is to our will ! We are being educated on the premise that the world will not change. For this reason, we find it easy to get used to some burdens and not feel that they are problems anymore. We take them for granted. This is how the disagreements between the Havers and the Wanters have arisen. Two thirds of the world is made up of the wanters --groups such as the FLQ or the Mobs in Detroit, etc. We are undergoing a revolution of rising expectations. We are getting more sophisticated and we are demanding and expecting more. To balance this with our needs, we must have more co- operation in international development in the future. The world ' s population will be doubled by the year 2000, but food pro- duction MUST be quadrupled if we are to survive. The only way of succeeding is through total dedication to education. WE ARE NOT OUR BROTHER ' S KEEPERS, BUT OUR BROTHER ' S BROTHERS! WE MUST HELP HIM TO HELP HIMSELF. If increased, Foreign Aid will provide the potential and the resources for this. The Seventh Annual Current Affairs Club Conference, presented by our Cur- rent Affairs Club for the Students of the City of London, was held on Saturday, October 14, here at Beck, with 16 schools participating. This year ' s conference was especially interesting and informa- tive due to the fact that no politicians were invited as speakers. All speakers, rather, propounded many new and con- troversial ideas in a straight-forward and clear manner. They presented such thought-provoking questions as those above, posed by Mr. Hugh Bremner of CFPL Radio in his introduction of Mr. James Walker from the Centennial Inter- national Development Program, of Ottawa. Mr. James Walker, the keynote speaker.
