Menshikov to Lecture

MIKHAIL A. MENSHIKOV, the Soviet Union's ambassador to the United States, will come to Dartmouth in April to address seniors in the Great Issues Course. His topic on the evening of April 20 will be "Is Coexistence Possible?" and on the following morning he will take part in the regular question-and-answer period that is a traditional part of the course.

Ambassador Menshikov, who speaks fluent English, was named to his present post in Washington in February 1957. He is one of the 120 members of the Communist Central Committee, and is former Russian ambassador to India, where he negotiated a five-year trade agreement and stage-managed the visit of Khrushchev and Bulganin.

This month, on February 16, the Great Issues Course will hear Earl Attlee, former Prime Minister of Great Britain, who will speak on "World Government or World Chaos." His Hanover appearance will be sponsored jointly by Great Issues and the Dartmouth College Lecture Series, which will permit public attendance of his lecture.

The College Lecture Series for the winter term was opened on January 21 by Comdr. James Calvert, captain of the atomic submarine Skate, which made the second journey under the polar ice pack. Other lecturers this year, in addition to Earl Attlee, will be Robert Oppenheimer, director of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton; Charles E. Wilson, former Secretary of Defense; and three specialists of the American Universities Field Staff - Robert Burton, K. H. Silvert, and E. A. Bayne - who will speak, respectively, on Communist China, Argentina, and the Middle East.
