(EDITOR'S NOTE - This is the
first of a three-part series dealing
with the founding, purposes, pro-
grams, and controversies of the
United States National Student As-
sociation.)
By PHILIP SUTIN
For fifteen years, the University
has been a leading member of the
United States National Student
Association.,
It is one of a dozen colleges and
universities that have consistent-
ly supplied the organization with
leadership at its national conven-
tion and in its national and re-
gional structures..
At the last two Student Gov-
ernment Council meetings, the
Council has been reconsidering the
University's membership in NSA,
Several Council members, dissatis-
fied with the direction of NSA
policy prevailed upon the Council
to schedule a referendum on con-
tinued participation in the orga-
nization. A week later, the Council
rescinded the referendum, but
adopted a new policy which limit-
ed participation as delegates to
SGC members and committee
chairmen.
NSA was founded in 1947 main-
ly in response to calls for United
States participation in interna-
tional stud'ent organizations. Prior
to World War II there was never

NSA CONFERENCE-Through conferences and workshops, like
those held at the University last November by the Michigan re-
gion,. the NSA carries out its basic purposes of maintaining
"academic freedom, academic responsibility and student rights"
and improving democratic student government.

i

a strong national student organi-
zation to represent the United
States in' international affairs.
After World War II, European
students were attempting to pick
up the pieces of a shattered in-
ternational organization.

In Prague, .European students
met unofficially to form an inter-
national student organization.
Communist delegates attempted to
make a partisan organization out
of it. However,. Western delegates
hoped for a more autonomous or-

ganization in which minority
views could be expressed. During
the winter of 1945-46 a prepara-
tory commission called for a World
Student Congress to form the In-
ternational Union of Students.
Prague Partisan
The Congress, held in Prague
in August 1946, proved to be a par-
tisan emotional affair much to
the dislike of the Western dele-
gates. The Communist majority
was in control of meetings and the
West split with them over the
seating of delegations and national
autonomy. Western students left
the organization two years later
when its pro-Communist nature
was clear.
American delegates, selected
from various student organizations
and leading colleges and universi-
ties, realized the need for a na-
tional student organization. In
December of 1946 a conference was
held at the:University of Chicago
which paved the way for NSA.
Leaders from about 200 colleges,
including the University, attended
these sessions to determine the
purpose and set a constitutional
convention of a national student
organization.-
The constitutional convention
was held in Madison, Wis. in Au-
gust, 1947. Although some dele-
gates wished the association to be
based on student groups, and oth-
ers on an individual basis, the
convention decided that member-
ship should be based on student
governments.
Remin in U.S.
In meeting international com-
mitments, NSA decided to stay in
the IUS if national autonomy
could be maintained, and the dues
scale revised, and if continued
membership got the two-thirds ap-
proval of the 1948 Congress. NSA
soon withdrew from the interna-
tional group.
In its constitution, NSA sets
a series of goals for the organi-
zation. It strives to maintain aca-
demic freedom, academic respon-
sibilities and student rights. A
major f unction deals with
strengthening democratic student
government.
To attain these goals NSA is
organized on a student govern-
ment basis. The main policy mak-
ing body of NSA is its national
Congress, held each August usual-
ly in the mid-west.
Between conventions, the Na-
tional Executive Committee which
meets twice a, year to parry out
the functioning of NSA. Com-
posed of the NSA officers and rep-
resentatives from the association's
21regions, the NEC determines the
NSA budget, supervises the vari-
ous boards and offices of the or-
ganization, and plans and acts as
the steering committee of the next
Congress.

tions of NSA or the officers of

him are two vice-presidents, one
