Regional Meet
At Duchesne
On Dec. 28 to 30, 1946, 727 stu
dents, representing 303 colleges
and universities and 28 national
student organizations, met in Chi
cago for the Chicago Student con
ference for the purpose of estab
lishing a National Student organ
ization in the United States that
would concern itself with the
problems of all students.
Because it was discovered dur
ing the conference that there was
an insufficient amount of time to
carry this creation to completion,
the National Continuations com
mittee was established to act as
a student organization and to draft
a constitution for presentation to
a constitutional convention that is
to be held this summer. The coun
try was divided into 30 districts.
Regional chairmen representing
ench district are members of the
NCC.
Conference Called.
A regional conference for the
North Dakota, South Dakota, Ne
braska region was called for
March 8-9 at Duchesne college in
Omaha.
At this regional conference,
complete reports of the Chicago
Student conference and the exec
utive committee meeting of the
NCC held March 1-3 in Chicago
will be made, and the assembled
delegates will have an oppor
tunity to discuss what was ac
complished at Chicago.
Discussions of all questions will
be held, with panel meetings de
voted to particular topics. A com
plete copy of the draft constitu
tion will be presented to the group
for discussion: all recommended
changes will be put into resolu
tion forms and will be presented
to the next meeting of the NCC
so that if the changes are found
to be acceptable, they can be
made before the document is pre
sented to the nation-wide consti
tutional convention that is planned
for this summer.
