not just a building full of
foreigners" she said, nor
just a land of diplomats"
She deplored such descrip-
tions Of the U. N. as "a den
of lions" "a gaggle Of geese"
"a congregation of rocks" or
IAN exultation Of larks."
In solemn tones reminis-
cent Of her minister grand
father sermonizing on the
Ten Commandments, she
asserted:
THE United Nations is a
bridge between a dying world
and q new emerging world.
In the past, such transitions
have led to bloody wars. Such
wars in the hydrogen bomb
era are impossible. Hence,
the need Of the United Ma
tions."
Mrs. Tree said the lot of
the United States mission in
the U. N. is now a difficult
one.
Cites Changes
The membership of the
organization has grown from
the original 81 to &c." she OBJ
served. When it was founded,
aside from the Soviet block
OF nations, there were none
to oppose the West. But now
there is a vast array of ma
tions who are not committed
to the West. The result is
that no longer do we get
votes on a silver platter.
Mrs. Tree listed three addi-
tional changes in the U. NJ:
The Security Council has
been paralyzed so often by
the Russian veto that, more
and more. matters are now
coming up before the General
Assembly; the authority of
Secretary General is increas-

TEEN. Poee 8
By JOHN CARDELLlNA
Ascension Academy Reporter

Ascension Academy was
established for two main
purposes-the advancement
of higher education and the
forming of young gentle
men. These purposes are
now being accomplished
through the efforts of our
faculty and students. Al
though est a blish h e d for
Catholic boys, Protestant
and Jewish boys also attend
our school.
At the present, Ascension
Academy h as only one
building, which is located
in Alexandria, Va, but,
since our school is only 3
years old and has only go
students, this building is
sufficient for our present
needs. Next year we will
add a building which will
contain a gymnasium and
more classroomS.
Up to this time We have
been unable to construct a
cafeteria, but we have a
general store where school
supplies, sandwiches, milk,
donuts, pies and cupcakeS
are sold.
Ascension offers two ex-
cellent curricula, the regu-
lar course and the advanced
Lyceum course. The Lyceum
course, which begins in the
seventh grade, includes six
years of Latin, four years
of Russian, two years OF
French or Greek, mathe-
mates through calculus,
and six years of English,
history, science, religion

and physical education.
When a student graduates
from the Lyceum course, he
will not have to take post
graduate work; in fact, he
may even be able to start
in the sophomore year at
college.
The school was origi-
nally planned to begin with
the seventh grade and end
with the 18th, but this year
the headmaster extended
the grades to the fourth,
and he hopes to extend
them to the first grade, and
possibly to kindergarten.
The original class con-
sisted of IL students, but
in each successive year we
have nearly tripled the at
tendance of the previous
year.
All of our classes are
comparatively small, the
largest being the ninth
grade with IS students. The
classes. we're planned that
way in order that the
teachers might be able to
devote more individual at
tention to each student.
Since our school is still
very young, we have not yet
entered into much competi-
ton with other schools.
Every year Ascension sends
representatives to the an
nual Latin contest held in
Washington. We also have
a school bank which is
competing with the banks
of other schools.
Besides the officers Of
each class, we have a stu
dent council that takes
part in planning our social

activities. Representatives
are sent to the council
from the seventh, eighth,
and ninth grades of both
courses.
We have a school paper

to the papers of other
schools, but it is sufficient

however, we will probably

Board to Handle Disputes
Officials working with Mr..

ton of a board with some form

putes among unions and be-

and also to handle such issues
as excessive overtime pay.
They said the Secretary has
not yet decided whether the
board should have power to
issue binding rulings, but in
dicated that the odds are
against such drastic action.
"Sense of Urgency"
AS an alternative, they sug-
gested, the board might be

Until the President gives the
nod the precise amount of the
added funding will not be
known. Requests from interest

$500 million, and this aggregate
apparently has the approval of
the Budget Bureau and the top
level National Aeronautics and

the new request will give a

space program items. The effort
