Fredrick to Speak Here
Topic: United Nations
Pauline Fredrick, America's
l/uoltnaid female comments address students at
pi Thursday in Warriner
[Auditorium,
since she is National Broad-
Uing Company's UN corres-
S, Miss Fredrick's topic
,P°, bei "The United Nations
iin a Changing  World."   The
eech by'Miss Fredrick is a
[part of the'University Lecture
ISeries.
I At a recent   speaking   engagement in Birmingham,
Michigan. Miss Fredrick
[talked about the changing
[power struggle   between   the
United States and The Soviet
[Union and criticized those who
would destroy the United Na-
Itions.
"The notion that either of
[fie two major powers can
[bury each other is nonsensical," she said.
"Emphasis in the struggle
[has changed from the destruction to construction, from
[brinkmanship to diplomacy.
"The United Nations was
j Born in an aura of optimism
j which later led to disillusion-
[ment when it became an arena
[in which the big powers con-
[tinued to fight their cold war.
"Breaking away from the
Icold war is like trying to de
frost an outdated refrigerator
without spoiling the food,''
Miss Fredrick said.
There are some in this country, she pointed out, that say
the United Nations is a "fool's
paradise for the United
States," and that soon a coalition of the new small nations
in the general assembly will
dictate our policies.
"The UN is at the crossroads. Whether or not it continues to exist will depend on
how well man can learn to
live with his,fellow man.
"There is a danger in living
in the past and danger in moving ahead but to stand still is
maybe to disappear like the
dinosaur which could not adjust to its environments," she
said.
In a question and answer
period Miss Fredrick made
the following observations:
Regarding Panama:
"I believe the trouble is being handled in the wisest way
possible. The situation is complicated by the political campaigns there."
1962 Cuban Crisis:
"We were much closer to
war than we ever hoped we
would be."
Madame Nhu:
"I   think   she   proved   a
Pauline Fredrick
woman can look good on television. She was much more
emotional than she needed to
be to get her point across."
Miss Fredrick has achieved
eminence in a field traditionally dominated by men. She
has covered for NBC the Korean, Suez, Hungarian, Middle
East, Loatian and Congo crises and the troubled months
following the death of Sec.
Gen. Dag Hammerskjold.
She also reported the Nuremberg trials of the German
war criminals and national political conventions and elections.
In 1956 she was "anchor
man" for the Republican and
Democratic conventions for
NBC Radio.

Southern Michigan Prison Artists
Present Exhibit Through Feb. 26
An exhibit of art produced
by the inmates of one of the
World's largest prisons will be
shown in Central's Wightman
g^ery through February 26.
I The artists represented are
members of an art class at the
State Prison of Southern Michigan at Jackson. Part of the
fytime school, the class is
naught by John R. Ford, an
inmate. The wide range of expression in the  works  is  re
flected
in a sampling of titles:
%thm in Red  and  Blue,"
layers  of   Diamond   Rock,"
;,?ntity-Entity/'   "Vesper s,"
longing of prison life may be
detected as an undercurrent in
this- work, it can hardly be
called pathological.
"The quality and range accomplished today merits recognition and further encouragement. It is felt by the department that the traveling
exhibition idea offers these
men a chance to identify with
society at large, leading to the
establishment of confidence,
a sense of personal worth and
dignity."
There are 30 works in the
communities wherever it has
appeared, not only because of
the unusual situation of the
artists, but also because of the
higher caliber of the art as
compared to the usual institutional material.
The exhibit may be viewed
in Wightman gallery from 8
a.m. to 8 p.m. daily. Most of
the paintings and drawings are
for sale.
