DURING SUMMER CONGRESS:
Fundamental Rights of Student Press Demanded by NSA
By JOAN KAATZ
A declaration of the fundamen-
tal rights of the student press was
proposed and passed at the United
States National Student Associa-
tion (USNSA) Congress held this
summer.
Delegates at the meeting at
Ohio Wesleyan University in Dela-
ware, Ohio, further condemned any
interference with the privileges of
the student press. The resolution,
drawn up by the Student Editorial
Affairs Conference, demanded that
the student newspaper be free from
control by administration, student
organizations, financial supporters
and ecclesiastical agencies.
Recommend Easing of Rules
The Editorial conference also
drew up a proposal recommending
a relaxation of classification rules
on government information: The
motion, which was passed, con-
tended that too much material
was being classified because of
bureaucratic fears rather than the
needs of national security.
During the ten day conference
the South Carolina delegation in-
troduced a resolution upholding
segregation in educational institu-
tions, denouncing the Supreme
Court's ruling, and condemning
the use of force in maintaining
segregation.
The proposal which at first was
almost kept completely off the,
floor, ended in strong defeat.
Suggest Counselor Program
A student counselor program in
conjunction with faculty counsel-
ing for freshmen was also recom-
mended, by the Congress. The pro-
posal was passed on the rationale
that the student counselor is in
closer contact with the freshman
and therefore can give him greater
attend the World Youth Festival
to be held in Vienna next summer
becauise of the Festival's red-tinted
nature. However, at the same time,
it did not discourage any American
student who desired to attend the
Festival for information purposes
and will upon request furnish
many students with an explana-
tion of the NSA position toward
the Festival.
The delegates reaffirmed its
position condemning the French
people'for their continued practice
of imperialism and discrimination
in Algeria, ,particularly Algeria's
educational system.
Urge Hostility Halt
The proposal urged immediate
cessation of hostilities and called
for the establishment of the inde-
pendent state of Algeria.'
Eleanor Roosevelt spoke to the
Congress during one evening on
the topics of the world situation
and. the challenge of the future.
She said the United States must.
show initiative and self-discipline
in order to illustrate Democracy
at work.
Frank Grahma, former senator
from North Carolina and now as-
sociated with the United Nations,
spoke on his foreign travels as a
United Nations observer.
One evening was occupied by a
discussion of educational institu-
tions in Russia between Peter Eck-
stein, '58, former Daily editor, and
Pete Eckles of Dartmouth College.
Both students participated in an
exchange program of student edi-
tors between Russia and the
United States last spring.
Eckstein. commented on the uni-
formity of intellectual opinion:
among students in-Russia. He was
impressed by the way students
identified with Russia's national
purpose to give their life meaning.
Eckles stressed the informality
of the students and the manner
in which they live in a circum-
scribed area of thought...
Reuther Unable To Attend
Walter Reuther, United Auto
Workers president, was scheduled
to speak at the Congress but was
unable to attend. He was replaced
by Al Lowenstein, former NSA
president,

East, Africa, and Russia. He com-
mented on the psychic of the Rus-
sian people. He said the Russian
