"Living, talking and eating with
students from ali over the world
was one of the most stimulating
experiences I have ever had."
Ted Gunderson, director of the
AUF drive, made this comment
about the International Student
Service conference which he at
tended this summer as the Uni
versity's delegate.
The twenty-second annual
conference, held at Wells College,
Aurora, New York, July 25 to
Aug. 3, had as its main theme
"The Role of the University in
Training Leadership for Social
Development. "
Representatives.
Representatives of 60 American
universities all over the country
and 75 students from 21 foreign
countries attended the conference
as official delegates. There were
others attending as observers. The
only continent not represented was
South America.
The CO American delegates were
all heads of the WSSF drive on
their campuses. .Here the WSSF
fund is taken from the AUF fund
drive.

End or Beginning??? ....
The faction is on its last legs. It is dying a slow death.
A cursory observation of the results of this fall's var
ious elections show NU's fraternities to be as strong po
litically as ever. But a closer look would indicate that in a
given vote, a small fraternity bloc and not the faction as a
whole dictated the result.
Fraternity men should thank their lucky stars that no
strong group has been formed that could challenge their
hold on campus politics.
Since the independent students' political "revolution"
of the late 1930's, the faction has been the strongest and
often the only political organization on the campus. Its
strength has been especially evident since 1945. But 1949

All of which results in some sort of a paradox. If another
powerful political group springs up soon to challenge the
faction, we think the faction will regroup itself to save its
