Council Book
OK's NSA
Affiliation with NSA is advo
cated in the Handbook of Stu
dent Government issued Wednes
day by the Student Council.
The booklet was prepared as a
reference for council members
and heads of campus organiza
tions. It contains current council
constitution and by-laws, dis
cussions on council organization,
operation, history, and theory of
student politics and government.
Reference is made to the con
sideration now being given to join
NSA under the head, "Principles
of Student Government." The as
sociation is described by the
handbook as "devoted to problems
and operations of student coun
cils everywhere."
Conclusion.
Joining, the passage concludes,
"is a natural step forward in the
matter of student government,
and it is hoped the University of
Nebraska becomes affiliated with
.(NSA)."
The handbook was compiled by
a council committee headed by
Betty Aasen, junior Fine Arts
representative. Other committee
members were Dick Parker, Owen
Scott and John Hayes.
A special committee, now head
ed by Rod Lindwall and Norm
Leger, was appointed in October
to study the NSA.
That committee announced two
public meetings in a letter to
houses and campus organizations
Feb. 5. The letter stated the meet
ings are to give information on
NSA to the students.
Chancellor R. G. Guslavson, in
a message included in the hand
book to council members states,
"To foster good democratic gov
ernment in the student body of
the University is one way of ex
pressing confidence that the stu
dents of today will be the intelli
gent, courageous and loyal citi
zens of the democracy of to
morrow."
