NATIONAL STUDENT
NSA Motion Draws Fire I
Battlelines. Thunder on the stage. Warm
collars at Student Council meeting. Pan
hellenic resolutions. Confusion, misunder
standing. ,
These are terms which can be used to
describe the recent chain of events evolv
ing from the motion made by Public Is
"sues Chairman, John Nolon, at a recent
Student Council meeting.
The motion called for the affiliation of
the United States National Student's As
sociation (NSA) with the Nebraska Stu
dent Council. .
What is NSA? To quote from the Con
gressional Record, August 18, 1961:
"The U.S. National Student Association
(USNSA) is a confederation of student gov
' ernments. in colleges and universities'
throughout the United States. Its pro
grams, policy and national leadership
this year as in previous years is deter
mined by the National Student Congress,
the largest and most' significant single
meeting of college students in the Nation,
comprised of delegates elected by the stu
dents of the member schools of the
USNSA..-.
"Today, USNSA's membership includes
the student bodies of 400 major American
colleges and universities . . . one-fifth the
total number of institutions on higher ed
ucation in the United States . . . and one
third of the accredited colleges and uni
versities, the enrollment . . . encompasses
veil over one-half of the total college en
rollment in the country . . .
"USNSA is bum on the belief that educa
tion is the keystone of democracy and that
a free university is essential to a free so
ciety. For this reason, the association an
- nually sponsors Academic Freedom Week
on its member campuses to emphasize the
importance of the freedoms to teach and
to learn in building and maintaining a free
society." .
Last Friday, a handful of interested stu
dents met in the Union Auditorium to hear
Mike Neff, representative of NSA. Mr.
Neff was detained by snow, so Council
President Steve Gage took the stage to dis
cuss the rapid growth of rumor and events
Surrounding the resolution.
He stated that as the Council resolution
stands now, the Council vote will determine
whether or not the University will affiliate.
' However, this does not mean that the mo
tion can not be amended and the decision
referred to the student body.
Gage's "thunder" then turned to those
who have already supposedly made up
their minds. He called upon them to seek
more information r through the Council's
study sessions, which we hope will be open
to the student body. -
He called for removing emotion and re
placing it with objectivity. The Council
and student body must decide if the mer-

Panhellenic, Student Council, and every
student should look very objectively at this
' question. Let's weigh the pro's and con's.
Get interested in what NSA is, what it
can do for the student body and Univer
sity; what it can not do. Talk about it;
think about it.
And, Panhell, might we suggest that
you join forces with the Council and spon
sor combined study sessions? It seems
that both groups should be after the same
thing. Information objectively obtained.
PTP Starts Moving
m
Sunday afternoon, the People-to-People
movement went into full ..swing. It was
very pleasing to see the two rooms of the
Union overflowing with approximately 300
participants. .
It was stressed by the various speakers
and by Student Council Chairmen for PTP,
Chip Kuklin, that this is not to be con
sidered as an activity or an organization
as such. The program is not something
to do because it is fashionable. PTP is
people.
It might be argued that the program
should be called Person-to-Person in that
all areas of activity involve personal,
man-to-man relationships.
The primary area for this program will
be the Brother-Sister program, one which
will pair an International student and a
University student so that they might de
velop a close relationship and an under
' standing of each other and their cultures.
But, again, this can not be forced. Peo
. pie who join the program must do so with
open minds and open hearts not after
activity, points.
Congratulations, Chip, and all who are
and will help you with this program.
eds injected into the num
ber. Surprisingly, the award
winning traveller act was
the "Chi Chimps," with
Alpha Chi Omega's Helen
Landis, Anita Chilen and
Mary Jo Leach. Their
award should possibly be
posthumously split with
comedian Ernie Kovacs,
since he first did the
same thing .with his now
famous Nirobi Trio.
The other two traveller
acts, Sigma Kappa's
"Frantic Moment" and
"The Flaming Youth,"
with Linda Landreth do
ing the Charleston to a
recorded "Has Anybody
Seen My Gal," were both
politely amusing and
slightly entertaining.
tr
The skits were all ex
cellently costumed and
fluently coreographed.
But as a purposeful en
tertainment, no one skit
was completely success
ful. Alpha Phi's "Think
Pink" won the first place
award in an attractive
but unoriginal thematic
manner. The same idea

role of the student government extends to

discussions over state, national and in-

Panhellenic passed a resolution setting
up study groups every other Monday. 4"he
first one is today. Here, we can refer to
the cartoon on this page. What is the real 1
motive of Panhellenic? We hope that their
statement: "to present the facts both for
and against NSA" is the one apd only mo-
tive. 1
We know, however, that National Pan-
hellenic has decreed that NSA is not a good s
organization. It has also been said that s
Panhellenic defeated- NSA on the Okla- 1
homa University campus because national
sorority officers requested their members
to vote against it the basis for which was

It was fun.

Ann Moyer's generaliza
tions about the work of
the Student Council and
the interest of its mem
bership, although undoubt
edly motivated by good
intentions, a r hastily
drawn. From her first
impressions of one meet
ing Miss Moyer concludes
that the Council has not
been developing its po
tential for the past six
months and that only two
junior members' possess
leadership qualities. She
also concludes that the
senior members of the
Council have abandoned
their role as leaders.
There are valid criti
cisms to be made of the
Student Council and sev
eral have been made this
year. But those who wish
to constructively criticize
must first conscientiously
attempt to determine the
facts so as to give their
readers an accurate re
port. '
The five senior holdover
members have been any
thing but lax in their lead
ership. President Steve
Gage has shown accurate
insight into the problems
of a student body and
has been the initiator of
many of Council pro
grams. Jim Sam-pies,
first vice president, has
effectively carried out the
tedious Job of approving
all constitutions of stu
dent organizations. He is
now beginning work on a
much needed revision of
Council by-laws.
Al Plummer and Sukey
Tlnan devoted two months
of the first semester to
organizing the Big Eight
Student Government As

success of this convention
was attested by the Gov

It is possible that many
of you have still not
thought of joining groups
like the Nebraska Inter

or participating in the
People-to-People program.
Some of you feel that you
would rather have person-to-person
contacts. Then
there are several of you
who are merely allergic
(for no valid reason!) to
organizations and '.heir
structures.
We are living in a
world where we already
feel half-lost and thus we
are afraid of losing the'
other half by joining an
other organization. But I
hope you also realize that
these organizations are
meant only to provide a
platform so that you can
develop interpersonal re
lationships. This is the end-use of
organizations- Their span
of control ends there.
They are not interested in
controlling us but are in
terested in helping us
achieve our own indi
vidual goals.

why can't we orbit our

lost in our sororities or

amusements, pajama
parties or beer sessions?
We should not deny our
selves these and other
pleasures of life. But we
should also have a few
moments to ourselves, to
sit down, relax, and ask
this $64,000 question:
Where do we go from
here?
