Y.O.U. UPDATE Zero hour is fast apprqaching. The Big Sandy campus
will be a beehive of activity in one week from today. National finals
in basketball, cheerleading, and bowling are slated. In addition,
Ambassador College is holding an all-star basketball exhibition
including many of the best players in Y.O.U. across the country.
Also, for the first time, Mr. Kermit Nelson has arranged a girls'
invitational basketball tournament. As if that were not enough,
several social activities are on tap to fill up the spare time!
Several special guests will be present this year. Mr. Ted Armstrong
will attend along with many of the ministers involved with Y.O.U.
Mr. Bill Sharman and an associate will be on hand to coach the all
stars and assist Mr. Jim Petty and Mr. Eric Williams of the A.C.
coaching staff in locating potential future Royals.
More great news! Again this year the response to Mr. Armstrong's
letter on S.E.P. scholarship donations is overwhelming. After
only one week we have received over $6,500. Today's mail alone
contained 111 letters and just over $2,000 dollars. This is ahead
of last year's response which allowed us to grant scholarships to
85 students to S.E.P. who would have been unable to attend any
other way. Y.O.U. really appreciates this tremendous response and
thanks all who were able to sponsor needy students!

ON THE WORLD SCENE
EUROPE, LEFT AND RIGHT Is "Eurocornrnunism" the wave of the future
for Western Europe? In Italy, perhaps so. In France, we may have
to wait a bit to find out -- at least until Sunday for an early
indication.
In round one of France's general elections yesterday the combined
leftist vote -- Socialists and Communists -- outpolled the govern
ment moderate-right forces as expected, but less than expected. 'Thus
chances of a solid left alliance winning in the runoff election next
Sunday appear lessened, and along with it, the prospects of a combined
Socialist/Communist government, with Communists holding cabinet posts.
The ex2ectation now is that the present government will retain con
trol with a majority of 15 to 20 seats.

It could have been that enough voters were influenced by government
warnings of widespread nationalization of industry, and a steep rise in
taxation if the Left took over.
In Italy, the Communists are no longer on the outside; they are now
�nside the fence with perhaps only their tail sticking out. The
new government formed last week will include open, official support
O
by the Communists for the first time since 1947. Only one thing will
be denied them -- cabinet positions.
Until now, the Communists, second in representation to the Christian
De�ocrats, had supported the government in a negative manner by
