Italso serves the students of theration by planning and promot¬ing intercollegiate projects.Through the annual meeting ofthe National Student Congress(the governing body of NSA) andthrough regional assemblies, pol¬icy decisions are taken on issues“which affect students in theirrole as students.” These decisionsguide the NSA officers in theiractivities throughout the year.Policy decisions are carried outby NSA in this country throughits membership in such organiza¬tions as the American Council onEducation, the US National Com¬mission for UNESCO, and WorldUniversity Service.Through the international pro¬gram, NSA represents the Amer¬ican student at important worldmeetings. USNSA has rejectedmembership in the Communist-dominated International Union ofStudents and has instead been at^ajor participant in the Interna¬tional Student Conference of theNational Unions of Students. NSA its US.cooperates in the activities of theCoordinating Secretariat (in Lei¬den, Holland) which carries outthe programs of the InternationalStudent Conference.Personal contact is an impor¬tant phase of the internationalprogram. Besides sending Amer¬ican students abroad for theseworld student meetings, NSA alsoinvites foreign students to cometo this country either for toursof our Universities or as studentsfor a year or longer.The Foreign Student Leader¬ship program, for example, givesqualified students from Asia,Africa and Latin America an op¬portunity to live for one year onAmerican campuses and acquaintthemselves with American stu¬dent government and leadershiptechniques.Serve US studentsNSA offers two types of serv¬ices to the American student. Itsaves him money through suchprograms as the student discountservice and the travel programand it aids the various studentgovernments by facilitating theexchange of ideas.The student discount service, asystem for discounts for studentsat neighborhood stores, is carriedout in a number of areas in thecountry. Local student govern- NSA a confederation ofUS college student bodiesThe United States National Student Association (USNSA) is a confederation of collegestudent bodies represented through their student governments. With some 300 membersrepresenting 600,000 students, the Association is the largest representative national studentorganization in the world.The need for a national intercollegiate organization to promote students’ interests and wel¬fare has long been recognized, but the direct impetus for USNSA’s formation came in 1946when twenty-five Americanstudents attending the WorldStudent Congress at Praguebecame aware that the UnitedStates stood almost alone with¬out a representative national stu¬dent group.Their interest led to the callingof the Chicago Student Confer¬ence in December, 1946, to con¬sider formation of such an organ¬ization. It was held on the UCcampus in Mandel hall. Repre¬sentatives from 300 colleges and25 student organizations preparedrecommendations on its characterand structure and elected a con¬tinuations committee to preparea draft constitution and organizethe Constitutional Convention.This was held in September,1947, at the University of Wiscon¬sin and was attended by repre¬sentatives of 350 colleges. Estab¬lishing the principle of member¬ship by student government rath¬er than national organization,they formulated a constitutionfor ratification by individual col¬leges, elected officers and mappedout a program for the new Asso¬ciation.As each college governmentadopted the constitution, it en¬dorsed the aims and purposes ofUSNSA as outlined in the pre¬amble, which dedicated the Asso¬ciation to:maintain academic freedom,stimulate and improve demo¬cratic student governments,develop better educationalstandards, improve student welfare, promote internation¬al understanding, guaranteeto all people equal rights andpossibilities for education andfoster the recognition of therights and responsibilities of students to the school, thecommunity and God, and topreserve the interests and in¬tegrity of the governmentand the constitution of theUnited States of America.HOW USNSA IS ORGANIZEDNATIONAL STUDENT CONGRESSNATIONAL EXECUTIVE COMMITTEENSA organizedon two levelsThe delegates elected on Thursday and Friday will repre¬sent UC to NSA on two levels.The “top five” will be delegates to the Congress this sum¬mer at which the “second five” will serve as alternates. Theseten students will be delegates ———: —to the regional meetings in £ alternates b°tt0m‘enworldments sign up stores under theprogram and make arrangementsfor the amount of the discount.USNSA provides SDS identifica¬tion cards for the students, decalsfor the merchants, and periodiccompilations of the participatingstores.The travel program was insti¬tuted in 1948 to satisfy the in¬creasing demand of US studentsfor low-cost educationally orient¬ed travel. Each summer 400-600students take advantage of thisprogram by traveling in Europe,the Middle East, Canada, andMexico. They meet the studentsof these countries, as the toursare arranged by the national stu¬dent group of each country. Be¬cause of the large volume whichgroup tours offer, NSA is able toobtain a sizeable discount for thetravelers.An exchange of ideas is carriedout through meetings, clinics andworkshops, and NSA publications.The annual plenary session ofNSA brings together over 700 stu¬dents who are concerned with thestudent governments of their re¬spective schools.Besides passing the legislationto govern NSA’s action for thecoming year, the students takingpart in the Congress also partici- rolepate in clinics and workshopswhere they discuss how to beeffective “student leaders.”The Congress is not the onlytime when ideas are exchanged.Formally through meetings andinformally through personal con¬tact, NSA throughout the yearhelps students learn more abouthow to govern themselves. Theusual vehicle for exchange otideas is the regional organiza¬tion. However, the national offi¬cers also aid the program by visit¬ing the member campusesthroughout the year.NSA publishes a huge varietyof material which is sent to cam¬puses all over the country.Among these publications are:the “Student Government Bulle¬tin,” a monthly journal for stu¬dent leaders and administrators;the “USNSA News”; and special¬ized publications on parliamen¬tary procedure, leadership train¬ing, honor systems, human rela¬tions, camnus international rela¬tions, fund raising, course evalu¬ations, etc.Special kits of programmingmaterials, literature and postersare prepared for UN Day, Aca¬demic Freedom Week, Brother¬hood week, and other specialevents. The basic unit of USNSA is thestudent body. The student gov¬ernment is the channel throughwhich the Association reachesthis large group. Well over 90per cent of all accredited collegeshave some type of self-governingbody which "by virtue of its com¬position and constitution is rec¬ognized by both the students andthe administration as representa¬tive of the student community asa whole. USNSA is neither supe¬rior to nor independent of the stu¬dent government at an individualmember school; rather, USNSAis an integral component of thatbody. So long as the representa¬tive character of these studentgovernments is maintained,USNSA will continue to be Rep¬resentative.All policies and programs ofUSNSA are established by theannual National Student Con¬gress. Each member school maysend one or more voting delegatesto this meeting, according to theschool population. Emergencypolicies may be enacted by thenational executive committee be¬tween meetings of the Congress,but these policies are subject toreview by the Congress.Each of the member schools b^longs to one of the nineteen re¬gions of USNSA. These regionshave their own constitutions,officers, dues, and programs ofintercollegiate cooperation. Thelatter include conferences, work-see “NSA," page 42 • CHICAGO MAROO N • April 9, 1957Candidates' viewson coming electionBecause of the complexity of the political scene during this elec¬tion, the Maroon did not attempt to obtain the positions of candi¬dates on particular issues. Instead it asked such broad questions as:What are some problems in NSA? Why should a student vote for yourather than anyone else?What follows are the answers of the candidates of the three majorparties running for national delegates <see opposite page for VICEstand).Eliza Houston (IA):There are some things I’d liketo see done with the InternationalRelations commission of NSA,for example:I am most disgusted with thefrtate of affairs concerning theHungarian refugee students. Onalmost every other campus Hun¬garian refugee students were got¬ten scholarships through SG-NSA; it was not done on thiscampus. Instead, the administra¬tion, with the help of paid nation¬al personnel of NSA. made all thearrangements.In such things as the ISRS. aninternational student relationsseminar held for nine weeks ev¬ery summer, the campus and par¬ticularly those people for whomthis would be a very good oppor¬tunity must be informed. This isnot for just those people who aredelegates of NSA from a campusbut for all members of the NSA,which includes all the people onthis campus.Was the campus told? No!There wasn't even a small blurbin the Maroon. IIow can anyoneexpect to have NSA be of anyuse to a campus or even anymeaning if no one is informed?Galli HoustonRosemary GaHi (ISL):How can students other thandelegates take part in NSA activ¬ities? The parties have failed inbringing NSA to the campus, thedelegates have made NSA a sum¬ mer affair. Students never realizethat they are being representedto themselves, and to the world.Therefore it is my hope that thedelegates will this -year bringNSA to the campus, thus enablingthe UC student to vote for theprogram they want and the peo¬ple they know will carry this pro¬gram through.An NSA coordinator should beset up, to distribute NSA litera¬ture, to inform the campus ofregional, as well as national activ¬ities, and to conduct the competi¬tion for such projects as the In¬ternational Student RelationsSeminar.I am interested in carrying outa positive program of campusand nationwide needs. This Ipledge with the ISL candidates asmy responsibility. My experiencehas taught me that programs ofreform are unrealistic becausethat is not the real problem,which I have already expressedas communication. ThereforeISL’s program is a specific onedesigned to reach all students.Sarah Silverman(SRP):If you believe that studentsshould have a voice and the stu¬dents are mature enough to gov¬ern and guide themselves, thenyou agree with my principles. Iam pledged to enact these prin¬ciples and all that is in the SRPplatform.One of the reasons for studentapathy can be attributed to thefact that the executive officersspend more time on Europeanjaunts than investigating Amer¬ican student needs and contact¬ing American schools.A reorganization of NSA is nec¬essary. There is no pressure onthe member schools under thepesent system to carry out theresolutions passed by the Con¬gress. This can be attributed tolaxness of the executive, non¬ answerability of the delegations,and the fact that many of the res¬olutions do not directly affect thestudents’ problems.Lynn Chcdwell (IA):NSA is important as an effec¬tive voice for students on certainproblems and as a means for anexchange of ideas. At present, thestudent’s enthusiasm reaches apeak during the Congress in Au¬gust and then slumps off. A wayshould be found to level off thepeak and maintain the enthusi¬asm throughout the year.I personally am interested ineducational affairs as my aca¬demic field is education I’d liketo see some plan formulated byNSA to keep high academicstandards in American schools.Don Miller (ISL):The regional organization hasthe potential for investigationand action on a local level. TheChicago schools could get togeth¬er for CTA discounts; the regioncould work on chain store dis¬counts.There is a great lack of man¬power on the regional level. Theregion is unimportant enough inmost people’s minds to make itunattractive. There isn’t enoughcontinuity between the succeed¬ing groups of officers. The oldofficers tend to peter out as theend of the year approaches be¬cause of the lack of manpower(they get tired of doing all thework themselves). They are re¬lieved to vacate their office.Some possible solutions to theproblems of regional organiza¬tion are: 1) make a specific per¬son responsible for NSA activ¬ities on each campus; 2) inform¬ally limit the activities of the re¬gional officers to exclude postson their own campuses; 3) estab¬lish a link between the nationalvice-presidents and the regionalones connected with the samecommission (there is little com-(9/d$/jiceAFTER SHAVELOTION Refreshing antiseptic action healsrazor nicks, helps keep your skinin top condition. 1.00 pi„. lo«SHULTON H«w York • Toronto- NationalDelegates IAJudy BowlyLynn ChadwellEliza HoustonButch KlineJim Nodland ISLRosemary G.Bill HarmanDick JohnfoiJohn Lam >Don MilletNationalAlternates Edna ArringtonJim CampDeborah GolemanBrooks JohnsonMary Jane Slabodnik Barrett D< nt«Dave Frei: eldPete Hang orTiny Lab n 'Diana St^ jfJRegionalAlternates Louise ArnoldCarol CoggeshallBob DaltonJacques DulinSue JacobsenPhil KaufmanMike KindredElenie KostopoulosDave LeonettiDebbie Mines Judy BishDiane Col]John DeZ idJohn EndRay InmaRobert LcBarbara,,] YuFrances ! orRon Terc)Clarencemunication between them at thepresent time).

I don’t think NSAdoes anything except provide po¬litical knowhow to the memberschools that request it. Instead ofthis it should devote itself toworking on student problems thatare national and that can only behandled by a national representa¬tive group instead of (be individ¬ual student governments.The Congress should (anddoesn’t now) take steps to insureimplementation of the policies itpasses. Too much is left to thenational executive without anyassurances that the national offi¬cers will work with, not merelytalk to, the regions and memberschools in the coming year.Jim Nodland (IA):Desegregation, academic free¬dom, student aids, etc., are excel¬lent aims and will get my ener¬getic support. However, the prob¬lem of this election is to get dele¬gates that are willing to give con¬tinued effort to NSA the entireyear, not for ten days in the sum- organization and with the delegations of other campuses. Pro¬grams could in this way be ex¬plained, altered, improved, andgiven national support before themeeting of the national conven¬tion. This active participationwould facilitate a more efficientcongress and increase the effec¬tiveness of NSA.Bill Harmon (ISL):Through my participation inSG and in dorm groups, I think Ican see some of the problems we(students) have in several areas.'Hie Congress is a place to learn,but you have to know what’sw-rong in order to learn.In SG this year, my main inlerest was in the student-facultyrelations committee. I, would liketo see NSA attempt at student,faculty relations on a nationa"basis. This should be more thanjust passing a resolution saying,"We want better student-faculty,relations.” Perhaps NSA couldget together with the nationalfaculty group and discuss pos¬sible action.Along the same line, NSAshould make contact with otherpowerful national groups con¬cerned with University life Fraternity nationals and the NationalCollegiate Athletic association aretwo such groups. its<Joyce Everett (SRP):The role of NSA is to organizea student voice.

This is solelymy opinion and does not reflectthat of the Maroon or its adver¬tisers.The voters will be faced withan overwhelming list of namesthis Thursday and Friday. Be¬sides the slates of ISL, IA, andSRP. there is the B J group (see“VICE,” below left) who will addto the mass of names on the bal¬lot.Who should the student votefor, he will wonder. In the olddays it was easy: only two part¬ies. But now four for maybe morewill form after presstime for allwe know). What is the differencebetween them?There are no substantial issuedifferences between IA. SRP, andISL. Just as everyone is for stu¬dent services nowadays during anSG election, everyone is a “lib¬eral” in an NSA election. Is therea difference? I think there is —one of approach.THE STUDENT REPRESENT¬ATIVE PARTY is the perennialminority party, the self-appointedconscience of ISL. Sometimes theconscience yells (and too loudly,too) on trivia, yet at times itpoints out important shortcom¬ings of the majority. It usuallyyells long enough and is finallylistened to. Because of this, what was radical and wild-eyed in 1952,is moderate and acceptable in1957. SRP, then, is the party con¬cerned mainly (and sometimesact as if they’re concerned only)with principles, the party of ends.THE INDEPENDENT STU¬DENT LEAGUE is the party ofmeans (of accomplishment). Yetit is questionable if it now hasthe means to win. Deserted bythe “pretties” and purged of the“uglies,” ISL has, it seems, onlythe memory of the Greys and theLarkins and a wobbly slate heldup by Don Miller. Yet, it retainsthe prestige among the otherschools in NSA. Faced by theloss of its maverick (or, to put itmore genteel, independent) wingfrom which it usually draws itspopular, vote-getting candidates;ISL this weekend took drasticmeasures and revamped its or¬ganizational setup so that it hopesit cannot again be accused of be¬ing controlled by a small clique.More a party of the past and(it hopes) of the future, ISL cannow only offer the voter the con¬nections and know-how which itstill retains.THE INDEPENDENTS ASSO¬CIATION is (to me and probablyto everyone else including itself)the enigma. A new (and, shall Isay, revolutionary) group by itsnature can mean all things to allpeople. Organized on the negative(and I believe somewhat true)principle of the “rottenness of thepresent political atmosphere,” ithas an appeal to all the dissatis¬fied elements on campus. Whatits positive stands will be, onlytime will tell.As a new party, IA can withimpunity attack the present poli¬tical setup (which, as I said be¬ fore, merits much though not allof the attack). It has no recordto defend. Its fair-haired slatecan sit back and let its erstwhilecampaign manager (of BAHfame) “throw the rascals out.”But these independents are notsitting back; they’re pitching inand campaigning with all the fireof crusaders. They point to thisenthusiasm of their “new blood”and say that with it they willmake something out of NSA andStudent Government. Perhaps ...but I’m a cynic and a bit of a pes¬simist and to be clicheish, a partyis a party is a party.Thus, each of the three part¬ies offers us something. SRPhas the lofty ideas and ideals;ISL has the knowhow, leader¬ship and experience; IA has the“new blood” enthusiasm.’It seems that the conclusionreached by the above is that thevoter should split his ballot be¬tween SRP (Rosenthal looks goodhere), ISL (Miller, of course) andIA (Houston just burns energy).But we mustn’t forget the VICEparty (with whom I sympathizewhole-heartedly). They teach usperhaps the most important les¬son: student politics must betaken with a grain of salt. Theprinciple-minded S R P e r s , theaccomplishment - oriented ISLers,the starry-eyed Independents—alltend to take what they’re doingtoo seriously. This is a vice andVICE reminds us of this fact.With VICE I say, “Politicians,your constituency for the mostpart doesn't give a (oops, cen¬sored) about what you do, aslong as you reave Ihem alone.”Norm Lewakmanaging editoreditorial‘Maroon supports referenda;urges students to vote ‘Yes’We should like to strongly urge oil voters to vote YES on all the referendawhich will be on the ballot Thursday and Friday.Three documents were scrutinized and par¬tially rewritten by the Commission on Stu¬dent Government. Once on the ballot, theymerit your support. All three have been mademore readable and brought up to date.THE BILL OF RIGHTS has already beenpassed by the Government (we hope that theConstitution and Statute of Powers will passtonight). The only changes in it are for thepurpose of clarifying the language.THE CONSTITUTION has three majorchanges: stabilizing the Assembly, movingthe elections to the spring, and easing theamending process.The number of members of the Assemblywould be fixed at 40 (plus or minute one)under thejiew Constitution. Considering therate at which this University is growing, suchstabilization is quite necessary. (Previously,the number of members was on the basis ofone per 100 students.) The Assembly wouldstill elect members on a proportionate basisfrom the College and the divisions.We are very happy to see the new Consti¬tution contain a provision for spring elections.On November 2 and January 25, we editori¬ally recommended the moving of the elec¬tions from the fall to the spring. As we notedthen, spring elections would lead to a moreefficient SG, less electioneering, and better-informed voters.Increased efficiency would result from thefact that the Government would be organizedand ready to start working at the beginningof the autumn quarter. At present, the au¬tumn quarter is wasted with elections of theAssembly, recuperation of the members, andorganization of SG.The electioneering would be limited to the spring quarter, during which the other elec¬tion of the year (for NSA delegates) takesplace. By this time, the new students willhave become acquainted with SG, the parties,and the prospective candidates. They willthus be better informed voters. As it standsnow, the candidates and issues are presentedto the entering students as one of the manyand varied occurrences of O-week.An easier method of amending the Consti¬tution is quite necessary. At present, it is con¬sidered impossible to raise the necessary two-thirds vote of the campus to pass necessaryamendments. UCers just seem to usually vote•'no.” Under the new method only a majoritywould be needed, initiative is possible, andthe students are still protected as a minimum(15 per cent) vote of the student body isnecessary.THE STATUTE OF POWERS (a contractbetween the student body and the Adminis¬tration) has only one major change, but thisis an important one. The power of the Stu¬dent-Faculty-Administration Court is greatlyextended. Under the new Statute, the Courtcould hear cases from individual students.As it stands now, the Court only settles dis¬putes between student organizations. Atpresent, the Dean of Students is in the pre¬carious position of being the only point ofappeal on cases between individuals and or¬ganizations. (The Phi Gam-IF problem wasan example of such a case.)The Court would also have some “punish¬ment” powers under the new Statute. Atpresent there are no teeth in the CourFs rul¬ings. The new Statute includes the possibilityof fine for guilty organizations.i4 m CHICAGO MAROON • April 9, 1957Candidates talk on ...

These considerationsmake a political organizationsomething which is out to furtherItself and do good for itself in theeyes of the campus, but whiledoing this, forgets the real inter¬ests of the students.Jimmy’sSINCE 1940 I would like to see the creationof a campus co-oordinator (pickedfrom the delegation) who wouldwork with the delegation, the stu¬dents, Student Government, andNSA. The coordinator would dosuch things as handle publicityfor the NSA services, and admin¬istrate such affairs as the peti¬tion for the South African stu¬dents. He, for example, wouldhave handled the arrangementsfor the Hungarian students, in¬stead of having the administra¬tion in charge of these arrange¬ments.Richard Johnson (ISL):There are a number of peopleon the ISL slate who have had ex¬perience in both regional and na¬tional congresses. We’re commit¬ted to work together as a unify¬ing and organized delegation, notsimply individuals pursuing ourown separate ways.We want to stress the work ofthe region a great deal more.We’d like to see NSA testify a great deal more before Congressand use influence for federalschool programs and changes inthe McCarren - Walter immigra¬tion act to make exchangeseasier.We’d also like to see NSA workwith the Southern Conference ofschools ( set up last year) to getthe southern student leaders to¬gether to discuss the problemsof integration.Phil Hoffman (SRP):NSA represents the organiza¬tion of students on a nationwidebasis to meet the problems thatface them. At the present time,NSA is devoting more attentionto speaking for the students as awhole rather than taking specificaction to solve some of theseproblems. NSA could be im¬proved by delegating more re¬sponsibility for taking action tothe various regional groups. Theannual Congress would serve tocoordinate and interrelate theprogram of the various regions, (from page 1)shops, clinics, newsletters andregion-wide meetings or assem¬blies.Each region has one represent¬ative on the national executivecommittee (NEC) and this isusually the regional chairman.Larger regions (more than 40,000students represented) have a sec¬ond member on the NEC. Thisbody meets twice each year (De¬cember and August) to reviewthe operations of the Associationand to hear reports from the na¬tional staff.The national staff is made upof the six elected national officersand appointed administrative per¬sonnel. The national officers areelected by the National StudentCongress for o n e - y e a r terms. They must be students at mem¬ber schools and accredited mem¬bers of the Congress at the timeof their election. Five of theseofficers take a year's leave ofabsence from their studies toserve. The President is the offi-cial spokesman of the AssocUk-tion and is responsible for gen¬eral operations. The ExecutiveVice President shares the admin¬istrative responsibility and coor¬dinates the programs which arecarried out by the other four VicePresidents, each of whom has an.area or “Commission.”All the various research, actionand programming of the Associa¬tion is divided among four gen¬eral areas, called “Commissions.”Specific projects are assigned tosubcommissions which are locat¬ed at individual member schools.|lilillllllillillilllllllllllllllllilllilillilliilllllllllllllllllllllillllillliliiiiiillllllllillllliiiliiiiilllliilliillllillliiiiiiiiiiiiii^!
