A new treaty proposal for the
seabed has bean presented to the
United Nations Sssbods Com
mittee by the United., State* in
contemplation of the 1978 United
Nationa Law of the Sen Confer
ears. Under the new proposal, s
•pseinl council of nations or “in-
temational regime" would be
crested for sdministration of sea
bed areas beyond the limits of
nstfcmsl jurisdiction.
The current convention, which
came into effect in 1964 but was
drafted at the 1958 Conference,
refers to the continental shelf as
"the seabed end subeoH of the
submarine areas adjacent to the
coast but outside the area of the
territorial sea, to a depth of 800
meters or, beyond that limit, to
where the depth of the super
jacent waters admits of the ex
ploitation of the natural re
sources of the said areas."
"More problems are created by
interpretation of that last
phrase;" IfcNichols said. "Does
it mean the general capacity to
exploit resources or must each
country develop its own ability
before it can claim seabed rights
beyond the 200 meter isobath T”
The final seminar in the series
will center on environmental
protaction. It will be held Mon
day from 4-5 p.m in Room 226.

(Coatianed from page 1)
These changes have occurred
throughout history. We must not
confuse style with ideology.
"I’ve got s history book which
describes college students over the
past hundred years. If you re
move the dates and modernise the
language, it’s hard to tell which
generation is being written about
The book tells shout s riot they
had at Columbia. S.C., in the early
1880s, for example. A stem-wind
ing, modern-style riot. You begin
to wonder, really is there any
thing different in it all?”
Williams isn’t too disturbed
about student violence, either.
"I am convinced that the great
bulk of students has had about
all they want of this immature
nonsense," he says. "Maybe I’m
wrong, but I think I see valid
signs. There’s no silent majority
involved in all this—just a ground
swell of opinion from the bulk
of the students who are seeking
an education.
’These students aren't any hap
pier with the world than the
rest of us, and would like to do
something constructive about it.
They don’t see that burning the
place ia very constructive. They
want a chance to study and think
and act with rationality. I agree
with that,’’
