USNSA has been justly criticized for not providing any significant services to mem- ber schools. USNSA does havs many services, but it has not been effective in making students aware of them.

Sigma Kappa.) Such extremism and the result- ing withdrawal of schools from NSA could lead to having two stu- dent organizations-one "conserv- ative" and the other "liberal." Thi, would defeat the need which I see for a representative and unit- ed student service organization which NSA was supposedly found- ed to be. A recommendation was made at the last NSA Congress to remove NSA from political con- flict which does not directly af- feet the students as students. Such conflict has weakened and split NSA during the past decade. I am in full agreement with this reso- lution, the "Columbia Resolution" -in name of the school that in- troduced it. and shall fight for its adoption at this coming Con- gress if elected. I am fully for NSA as it was established-an in- ter-university-college student serv- ice organization - but unless i' commences to emphasize educa- tion more and extreme political questions less, we shall have to reevaluate our connections with it.

LEE E. HORNBERGER, JR. Why, atfer 18 years, does the National Student Association rep- resent less than 20 per cent of all colleges and universities in the United States? Why are schools constantly disaffiliating from NSA? The reason for this trend which has threatened NSA's ef- fectivenessas a service organiza - tion has been its consistent dives into the tangents of extremism. This has ranged from resolutions commending the Japanese stu- dents who rioted against Presi- dent Eisenhower's proposed visit to Japan in 1960 to regretting the EVERYTHING FROM "QUADDIEBURGERS" .. .

Stocking $3 million worth of food requires the efforts of a 42- man staff. The Food Service maintains its own baker, ice cream plant, and butcher shop aimed at economical production of quality foods. The pervading look of the facility is cleanliness. No effort 1s spared in assuring that all foods are kept free of contamination. In fact, this attitude is carried to all purchasing done by the food service. Recently a nearby dairy asked to bid on the food service milk contract. Before the request was granted, Wagner and a professor of the University School of Public Health personally inspected the plant. t Feediig the animals is also part of the good stock of rabbit ration, monkey food, cat maintained, for the psychology department. food service's task.

In most countries of the world students play crucial roles in the fight for, the progressive recon- struction of society. To them, it is incumbent on their position as students to lead movements of social change, and to provide the intellectual groundingfor con- structing societies built on hu- man values instead of the self- interest of the ruling groups. It is students who question the basic values of their society, who alone can inseminate a stagnating cul-I ture with a fresh ideology. TheseI students are not isolated from the society about them. They are able to inject into society their ideal- ism and hope because their na- tional student organizations are aa potential force. In the United States, students or more accurately college gradu- ates, have become the backbone of a highly technical and sophisticat- ed economy. Lewis Cosier esti- mates that 42 per cent of our economy is devoted to the dissem- ination of knowledge, informatior and "culture." This dwarfs the defense budget, and even the huge industrial corporations. We are at the center of this "knowledge, economy," yet we are quiescent. With the exceution of a handfu of students independently workinp in the civil rights movement, the Peace Corps, Vista, the peace movement and with the poor anc disenfranchised, most students re- main oblivious to their key role in society. In an economy that has shift- ed from "brawn to brains," we remaini, in a sense, even more ex- ploited than the working clan- ever was. At least they were paid for working (however poorly): we have to pay to be exploited. The revolution on the Berkeley cam- pus has made it clear to us just how exploited we are. We have seen the plight of Negroes and the poor in our country; we have sensed the cowardice of our adul+ community which would rather "save face" and protect "its inter- ests" rather than have peace. We have fought the complacent Amer- ican society which would rather be comfortable than involve it-elf in the problems of our nation and indeed the world, faces. The United States Natiorial Stu- dent Association could be an ef- fective force in combatting the complacency of our society. Un- fortunately, member schools have failed to contribute to the fulfill- ment of NSA's potential.

Berkeley is a partial tragedy in that it is an island of activity in a sea of stu- dent apathy and non-involvement resulting from a lack of direction. Here at Michigan we are find- ing thatathe problems of the mul- tiversity continue to grow. The student population is mushroom- ing, residence halls are stuffed te overflowing, classrooms are r mockery, and the IBM number i king, and all this at exorbitant costs to the student. At the same time off the campus, the prob- lems of civil rights, poverty, and world peace are becoming ever more visible and ripe for attack These are the areas where USNSA should be. U. of M. should be a leader in NSA and should be a leader in this new movement. In the past th( question has always been, "Wha can U. of M. get from NSA?" We maintain the question should b reversed. Campuses across the U.S. arE running into the same economirc problems we find so prevalent at U. of M.

NSA must force experi- mentation with new forms of teaching methods, new courses. new types of universities. USNSA must lead students in creating an atmosphere on campuses where students and faculty work togeth- er in directing and improving the university and society. NSA shoul be the collective idealog for the new plan. Beyond the campus, we as mem- bers of the society must actively involve ourselves in the fight for civil rights, world peace, and an end to poverty. We must emulate the progressive student forces o other nations, and to this end USNSA must become the leader of a national student movement. Michigan must send delegates to USNSA who shall work toward this new direction for NSA. It i imperative that U. of M. lend its leadership and manpower to th( student revolution. We pledge our forces to this aim. Qualifications: Editor, The Mich- igan Daily; President, United States Student Press Association. The United States National Stu- dent Association is one of the most maligned and misunderstood or- ganizations in America. It has been both praised and attacked for goals which it could never hope and has never intended to serve. USNSA's major role comes in the international student world. While student politics-rarely draw., attention in the United States, it becomes a potent force in the un- derdeveloped world, where today', students are tomorrow's prime ministers. USNSA has been singularly ef- fective at representing the inter- ests of the United States - not necessarily, however, establish- ment interests-at this level. It participates in numerous ex- changes. important international conferences, and mutual aid pro- grams. USNSA's role has been fav- orably recognized by the State Department and by heavy foun- dation support. At the national level, the or- ganization has been less success- ful. Nevertheless, with higher ed- ucation under more and more scrutiny, and with student-facul- ty - administration relationships very much in doubt, USNSA has a major vacuum to fill. In the early and middle years of USNSA's existence, the Univer- sity was able to provide a heavy proportion of leadership. In recent years University delegations have been less effective. It is time that this situation change. These 21 2 pages are a paid advertisement i by Student Government Council "Actually, the psychology people are our fussiest clients. Once we had planned a minor change in one of our animal food pur- chases and they became very upset. They told us that even the slightest change in animal diet might ruin two years of research." As for the people diet, the food service does not determine menus; they are established by the individual housing units. Rather food service is a central supplying agency that purchases food di- rectly from the producer. The food service loading dock is a continuous flurry of activity. Crackers, spaghetti and potato chips for the League; potatoes, oranges, and beans set to go to West Quad, spices, ketchup and Spanish olives for the University Hospital; and boysenberries, ice cream and roasts for South Quad. And where does lunch for the food service staff itself come from? Mr. Wagner says very little food is consumed on the premises, "We all carry our own lunches." MEETING THE DEMAND for fresh meat at the University Hospital, dormitories, or the League requires a good size staff of butchers. Here a few choice cuts of beef begin their journey to the dining table. I 9 I HERBERT P. WAGNER, manager of the $3 million a year food service operation, points out where all the carrots (cooked- in this case) as well as Sweet Potatoes come from. This is a small portion of the three story facility.
