No V.U.C. Observer at Moscow Festival
No V.U.C. Observer at Moscow Festival
After considerable time having been spent in discussion, it was decided at the last Exec. meeting, not to comply with Mr. L. B. Piper's request for observer status at the I.U.S. Youth Festival to be held in Moscow next August, for some years past, it has been N.U.S.A. policy not to have anything to do with I.U.S. However. Victoria has several times approved the principal of sending observers to I.U.C. conferences. It was decided at the meeting that Mr. Piper, even ig given only observer status would be regarded as representing Victoria College. And as his extreme leftist views were not representative of the large majority of students it would not be possible to send him in a position in which he might be regarded as a representative.
However, a message of goodwill will be sent to the students at the Festival, from Victoria College.—J.B.
