This year, the top three issues were the China, world terrorism world financial network. “China is not in the forefront of the news yet,” Hyde says. However, people are beginning to notice that the country which became commu nistic in 1946 under Mao Tse-tung is a “communist lure to capitalism,” he says. The purpose of SCONA is not necessarily to attract well-known speakers, but to get a variety of knowledgeable people to discuss the issue. “We want to get experts in the field to examine world issues,” Hyde says. SCONA began in 1955 when the president of the MSC visited West Point Military Academy to attend a similar conference on United States affairs. He was impressed with the program and brought the idea back to Texas A&M. Last summer, four members of SCONA went to China to prepare for the conference. “We wanted to get a basic under standing of the culture, history and current situation,” Kent Cocking, vice chairman of speakers, says. Cocking, who went to China, also visited Houston to talk with Consul General Kingbo Tang, who has helped with the conference. Tang is responsible for getting a commit ment to attend from one of the main speakers, Ling Qing, China’s ambas sador to the United Nations. Other speakers include Dr. Ross Terrill, a professor of government at Harvard Ur Jniversity, and Dr. Harry a.m. Saturday Harming, author of several books and articles on Chinese domestic policy and relations between China and the United States. This year student delegates will come from many countries, includ ing Taiwan, China, Japan, Guata- mala, Mexico, Canada and the United States. European delegates will be from France, Germany, Swit zerland and Scotland. The conference will be in Rudder Theater and is free to the public. The opening address is Wednesday at 1:40 p.m. Speeches are at 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. Thursday. Friday, speeches are at 9 a.m. and 2:15 p.m. The closing address will be at 10:30 day.
