The Maritime College rep resented Ireland and in this capacity, excercised the opinions of the Irish foreign policy on the various reso lutions. The Berlin situation was the first issue on the floor which was debated only by the Security Council for four hours, with the General As sembly in attendance.

Olivet has been named chairman of the College Red Cross Campaign for this year. The following is a message from the Captain to all College personnel: \Red Cross is on the job for us, you and me and all Americans. Day in and day out the Red Cross provides help when and where it is needed most; Red Cross meets with out charge, about forty per cent of the national needs; in New York it supplies about one-third of the blood used in our hospitals; it aids ser vicemen and their families in all comers of the globe; deals with some 300 disasters each year; it is constantly training citizens in first aid and water safety techniques that often means the difference between life and death for our friends and neighbors. New York needs a strong Red Cross. Red Cross, in turn, must have the strong support of all New Yorkers. 1 hope that your re sponse to its 1959 campaign will be most generous. The first dollar of your gift enrolls you as a member. ficulties involved such a schedule. The planning for a cruise begins one year in advance, that is, soon after the preceding cruise is com pleted. The executive officer, the navigator , the chief engin eer, and the assistant business of ficer draw up temporary schedules which must meet certain specific and rigid requirements. There are many facts which are considered in ful filling the training mission. Weather conditions must be suitable. The port' must have the facilities to care for the needs of the ship and its per sonnel. Also, recreational and cul tural advantages become an import ant factor. The cruise schedule must fit the budget; the expenses due to towage, mooring, dockage, pilotage, wharfage, light dues, and various other possible charges are taken into consideration. Possible ports are selected which might fill these requirements. Letters are then sent to the American Consul or to the Ambassador of each selected country requesting information per tinent for the visit. Replies are often obtained two or diree months after the letters have been sent out. Fre quently repeat letters must be dis patched. The planning committee meets several times to discuss the replies received. As soon as pos sible, tentative cruises are formu lated calculating days at sea, days in port, time of arrival, and time of departure. About three cruises are recommended to the Presidentof the college; each must meet the certain and specific requirements. From these, the Chairman and the college council approve one cruise sche dule which then must be approved by the Maritime Administration and the State Department. Tentative plans are being made for tours that will highlight the various ports visited. In Ply mouth, two three-day tours to Lon don may be offered. There may also be local tours of the general area. San Sebastian, located on the Bay of Biscay, is a favored summer resort. It is known as the \Sum mer capital of Spain” and a tour of Madrid may be possible to sche dule. Shipping companies. State Univer sity officials, local agencies, clubs, harbor authorities and the surround ing area of Jefferson County are making elaborate plans for die opening of the Seaway and diey are anxious to have the College partl- Scholarship, Irving G.
