DEAN OLDFATIIER.
NSA Officer
Denies Commie
Infiltration
NSA, in taking a 6tand against
the International Union of Stu
dents, has freed itself from
cnarges of communist infiltration
and international control, accord-
mg to Richard Medalie
vice president of the
national
National
Student Association.
Speaking to a small group of
Nebraska students Tuesday, Me
dalie listed the advantages of NSA
membershio for Nebraska and
also showed that NSA has cor-
ret ted some of the things which '
.Nebraska students held against j
the organization when they turned J
down the NSA petition for entry ,
to NU two years ago. I
One of the most serious charges
at that time was that the organ
ization was communist infiltrated
and internationally controlled. Ac
cording to Medalie. this was due
to the tact that NSA was wanting
to join the International Union of
Students. Since then, the organ
ization has realized that IUS is
communist dominated, and at the
last national convention, a strong
resolution against IL'S was
adopted.
"Although NSA wants no part
of IUS. we are using all possible
channels in contacting student
groups in other countries on a one of the largest and lowest
study and cultural level," Medalie priced agencies for studying, trav
said. On this level, NSA sjon.sorg eling, and working abroad.

iTo Spork Spirit '
"Rise and shine" will be the cry Thursday morning
when the combined University pep groups sponsor a send-off
rally for the football team at 7:30 a. m.
Hundreds of alarm clocks are expected to rouse Corn
husker fans in time to witness the team's departure for
Penn State.
The "breakfast" rally will be sparked by Tassel, Corn
Cob and pep group spirit. Presi-
dents of organized residences are
also expected to urge pledges
and actives to attend the cheer
fest. ,
"If there's a good student
turn-out at the rally," said
N-Club President Bill Mueller
today, "it will be the best thing
possible for the team."
Athletic Director "Potsy" Clark
re-emDhasized Mueller's remarks
when contacted by a Daily Ne-
braskan staff member. He urged
all Husker fans to make a real
effort to attend the rally to cheer
the squad on its longest jaunt.
Rally Schedule.
On the morning of the rally
the team will be at the Union at
7:15 a. m. to eat breakfast. They
must be at the airport for their
flight to Penn State at 8:30. They
will have to leave the Union
about 8 o'clock.
The rally will be held as soon
as the team has breakfast. A real
send-ofi is planned before the
men board their buses for the
trip to the ah port."
. The send-off will close in time
for 8 o'clock classes. No inter
ruption of the regular class
schedule will be tolerated by
University officials.
The rally will be the first reg
ularly scheduled
send-olf since
the pre-Minnesota
celebration,
Last week a pre-Kansas State
rally was not held.
Cheers, chants and songs are
w.,.h in rr.r,iAiii pniIv risers'
rally one of the, noisiest of the
year. Anticipated Husker en
thusiasm will probably make late
sleeping somewhat of a problem.
The committee expects the
morning rally to be a serious
test o( Cornhusker spirit. The
turn-out of fans for the 7:30
a. m. send-off likely will serve
as a barometer of Nebraska pep.
