Nuclear Age Means  Nx> Force'
By RICHARD GOTO
Promoting International under-
standing and cooperation between
students of various countries and
cultures is one of the main pur¬
poses of the International Club.
So explains Isn Walke, the
club's president.
"We are living in a world of
nuclear weapons." he said. "Be¬
cause of this, diplomatic strategy
cannot bo based on one country
threatening another with atomic
warfare. If one does, he destroys
himself and defeats his own alms.
"Possession of nuclear arms Is
no longer a force at the bargain¬
ing table, and no longer an ace-
in-the-hole.
"Power at the bargaining tahle
must come from other sources.
One of these Is world opinion.
"One eaji_wln with world opin¬
ion only If others feel he Is
right.
"It Is Important that the world
thinks of you as being right so
they will back you in economic,;
political, and other moves.
"Because of the nuclear dead
end. caused by the possession ot
nuclear arms by nations, more
and more the United Nations will
become a stronger force in world
opinion."
It Is In this respect, according
to Walke. that the foreign ex¬
change students plays an Import¬
ant part.
"The foreign exchange student
Is a vital part of governmental
Torelgn policy. It is these stu¬
dents who have the chances of
someday being the traders in the
United Nations.
"Their experiences with Ameri¬
cans la moat important. Any com¬
promise with these people at the
United Nations will come from
their evperienees with Americans.
"These students cannot get
their experiences with Americans,
by simply going to class and
studying classroom subjects. They
must also participate In some ex¬
tra curricular activities or they
go back to their countries with¬
out  any   experience   with   Amerl-
The International  Club.  Walke
explained, tries to give these for¬
eign exchange students this ex¬
perience.
"Where schools only teach the
theory of democracy, the .club
shows how it works.
"The torelgn student attends
student council meetings where
democratic  principles  work.
"The International Club also
gives the student a chaoce to
a student government on demo��
cratic principles."
The   vital   point   of   watching
democracy    work,    according
Walke,   la  the  guarantee  of  the
rights of the minorities to be r<
resented  even  though  the  maji
Ity rules.
"This will  Impress  him  for
other   type   of   government   does
this. He can take this back <
him when he returns to his B
try and shows how it works.'

The name-change faction, on
