On the membership issue he believes that SGC does have the
power to administer a campaign to remove discrimination from
campus organizations. He says that this is an example of a stu-

solve themselves.
He maintains that the speaker policy is a good one. Hopkins
thinks that the campus should withdraw from USNSA.

The recently formed Faculty-Student Screening Committee of

The committee had originally been set up to insure that campus

with the provision that all campus speakers be approved prior to their
appearance in accordance with this ruling.
Now, the committee has advocated the formation of a consult-

An Editorial...o
THE UNIVERSITY STUDENT BODY faces the most im-
portant referendum since the inception of Student Govern-
ment Council eight years ago: should we continue affiliation
with the United States National Student Association?
The question is important because one of the alternatives
-withdrawal-would be a serious step backward for SGC and
could come about only if enough students swallow essentially
senseless and distorted propaganda.
The critics who urge withdrawal claim USNSA is unrep.
resentative, that it costs $2,400 a year, that it is controlled by a
leftist elite who would set up students as a separate social class
devoted to partisan political concerns and that it would be
easier to work for reform outside the formal structure.
THE ASSERTION OF UNREPRESENTATIVENESS fails
to note that USNSA provides, in its constitution, that dele..
gates from member schools can be selected by campus-wide
elections. SGC could increase the representativeness of its dele-
gation if it so desired. As in most aspects of USNSA, the
association provides the opportunity; the local student govern-
ment must capitalize on it..
USNSA will cost each University student about nine cents
this year. There are few items in SGC's budget that benefit the
student more just in the area of available services, literature
and conferences. The Office of Student Affairs Study Com-
mittee drew heavily on USNSA publications in reorganizing
the OSA.
The ruling elite notion is false. Any single delegate
who wants to have a voice in the outcome of a congress is
free to move as high in the structure as his ability can carry
him. He may speak for or against any legislation in drafting
committees and on the plenary floor, introduce motions or
run for office.
USNSA RECOGNIZES that students are treated differently
 fromtheir noncollegiate peers but does not try to alienate
them from the rest of society. Student life is often referred to
as a parenthesis in which the student is sheltered from the out.
side world. Students are granted different rights than other
groups,- are expected to perform different functions and as-
sume different responsibilities.
Students have an obligation to speak out and give their
opinions on questions of educational concern. They have a
right, indeed a duty, to state what academic freedoms they
must have and protest violations of those freedoms.
USNSA is the only vehicle through which students can
have a meaningful effect on national and international prob.
lems of higher education. The association has not wavered in
its attempts to maintain academic freedom, academic respon-
sibility and student rights and to stimulate democratic student
government. It deals not with "partisan politics" but with those
issues which actually mold the student and the education he
receives.
FINALLY, WE ARE NAIVELY told that reform of the
association can best be accomplished from without rather
than from within. Those seeking to disaffiliate have no inten-
tion of pressuring for change in USNSA if they achieve a
"victory" tomorrow. Even if they were to try to reform the as-
sociation, they would be far less effective as non-members.
They could not speak on the plenary floor, introduce motions
or campaign for national office. Since USNSA has a basically
democratic structure, their pressures on the leaders could not
affect change. Reform will come from the vote of delegates;
eight less votes from the University will not help.
Students everywhere face the common challenge of aca.
demic freedom and the struggle for full status in a communi-
ty of scholars. USNSA works for the welfare of all students
so that those at a particular university may benefit through
their student government. All participants in the debate agree
that there is a need for a national organization dealing with stu-
dent problems.
USNSA is the organization best able to present the stu-
dent perspective on higher education, to bolster student gov-
ernment and to work for the improvement of the education
of university students. Those who leave the association forfeit
access to the democratic apparatus available to make USNSA
the great organization it has shown the potential to become.
WE ADDRESS THOSE who endorse the ideals or practices
of the United States National Student Association and
those who are sincere and serious in their attempts to reform
it. We urge a strong YES vote in tomorrow's referendum.

Feldkamp
Views Role
Of USNSA
"The United States National
Student Association supplied the
only materials on Student Gov-
ernment Council projects in al-
most any area," former Student
Government Council president
John Feldkanip, '65L, said in an
Feldkamp, assistant to the di-
rector of student activities and or-
ganizations, was referring to the
helpfulness of USNSA while he
was Council president-from the
fall of 1959 to the spring of 1961.
Specifically, Feldkamp said that
USNSA provided source materials
for student affairs, membership
selections, motions on the sit ins
and national and international
affairs.
Elected Chairman
Felkamp was elected chairman
of the USNSA national executive
committee for the 13th national
congress. "The role of the NEC,"
Feldkamp said, "is to see that the
policies of USNSA, are followed
by the national office. In one
sense, the NEC is a board of
At the 12th national congress,
Feldkamp was chosen, along with
128 other delegates, to visit Cuba
as the guest of the Cuban Na-
tional Union of Students.
In the fall of 1960, Feldkamp
was part of a delegation of five
USNSA officers that met with the
vice presidents of various national
chain stores to discuss the prob-
lem of sit ins. The spring before,
he had gone to a National Con-
ference on Sit Ins.
Good Delegations
'SGC has always been a great
help to USNSA by sending good
delegations to the national con-
gresses," Feldkamp said. "The
Council has always been able to
send people with a broad active
concept of student government to
participate in USNSA.
"There has always been a pre-
dominance of fraternity and sor-
ority people at the congresses,"
the former SGC president said. In
addition, Feldkamp said that
USNSA policy calls for student
government cooperation with fra-
ternityand sorority groups.
"The national executive com-
mittee has always been amenable
to ideas for reform," Feldkamp
said. For example, the NEC of
the 13th national congress in-
vited delegates and critics of
USNSA to lodge their complaints.
Traditionally, reform comes pri-
marily through the national con-
gress itself.

'STAY IN USNSA':
SOhaul Suggests Ways
To Reform Association
By EDWARD HERSTEIN
United States National Student Association president Dennis
Shaul last night urged continued University participation in USNSA.
Addressing a gathering of students at Stockwell Hall, Shaul
said, "These people (who urge withdrawal) ask to take those who
want ,reform most out of the organization and leave those who are
content in. This idea disturbs me."
Shaul acknowledged the need of some reforms in USNSA, but
argued that a more effective way of achieving reform is to stay

in the organization and present0
resolutions designed to gain the
desired changes. He cited several
examples of reform in USNSA
which had occurred through this
method at the last several con-
gresses..
Elite Domination
Responding to the argument
that the national offices of USNSA
were so dominated by an elite that
no reforms it opposed were not
possible to pass, Shaul noted that
Xavier Unviersity had asked that
member schools be able to dis-
claim association with USNSA
resolutions. "The National Execu-
tive Committee was against it," he
said, "but it passed overwhelm-
ingly."
Shaul pointed out that the re-
forms the University wanted at the
last congress were passed, and
that its delegation did not bring
any other reforms forward. He
questioned whether those who
want out are really trying to re-
form or if they just want to do
away with the organization. 4
Speaking on USNSA's value toI
the campus, he said that its job
is "not to dictate programs the
University should adopt," but is
just to make programs available
for its use when it so desires.
'Demand More'
"You should demand more from
Student Government Council than
programs on judiciaries and park-
ing problems," he said. "We have
these, but also much more." He
noted that many programs on
national and international prob-
lems were available if SGC de-
sired them.
He agreed that USNSA was not
representative of the student body
of the country, but said that it
could not be and did not claim
to be.
Shaul cited the value of USNSA
nationally a n d internationally.
Even the House Un-American
Activities Committee endorsed the
work of the organization; it
knew of no other group which
had done so much to combat com-
munism on a student level," he
said.
Shaul said he agreed with those
who say USNSA takes too many
stands, but said it was important
for students to be aware.

'Judge Refuses
Army Proofs
OXFORD (P)-Circuit Judge W.I
M. O'Barr ordered the Lafayettea
county grand jury yesterday to
refuse evidence gathered by what
he called "unlawful" army searches
and said the Kennedy administra-
tion was moving toward a totali-
tarian dictatorship."
The strongly worded charge
came with indications indictments
may be returned against those in-
volved in recent rioting and dem-
onstrations following the entrance
of James A. Meredith to the Uni-
versity of Mississippi/;
Senate President pro tempore
George Yarbrough of Red Bank,
I Gov. Ross Barnett's personal cam-
pus spokesman during the Sept.
30 riot, testified for more than a
half hour before the grand jury.
He was one of several persons tes-
tifying who saw the bloody riot'
which killed two and injured
scores.
'Violation of Provisions'
O'Barr said the search of stu-
dents' rooms at Ole Miss by sol-
diers was "in violation of every
constitutional provision known to
man. Every man shall be free from
unlawful search and siezure."
He added, "I instruct you not to
consider any evidence brought be-
fore you which may have been ob-
tained by an unlawful search at
the University of Mississippi."
The native Mississippi judge, a
graduate of the Cumberland Uni-
versity law school, said the con-
stitution had been "shorn of all
meaning by a diabolical political
supreme court made up of political
greedy old men who are not quali-
fied to serve as a judge of any
court . .."
'Power Mad Men'
"This court, together with the
hungry, mad, ruthless, ungodly,
power mad men who would change
this government from a democracy
to a totalitarian dictatorship, have
attempted to crush the people of
this state through the excuse of
upholding and enforcing an un-
lawful order that had not be-
come final."
Meanwhile, in New Orleans
State Rep. Wellborn Jack of
Shreveport last night predicted
that Meredith would be killed.

Report to President
On Cuban Settlement
WASHINGTON (P)-The United
States was reported standing firm
yesterday on its insistence that
Soviet bombers, as well as missiles,
be removed from Cuba.
This word came from the White
House after a strategy session
lasting nearly two hours between
President John F. Kennedy and
his top advisers in the Cuban
crisis.
The only other word from Presi-
dential Press Secretary Pierre Sal-
inger was that the group made
"an across-the -board review" of
the situation including negotia-
tions under way in the United
States.
Meanwhile at Guantanamo a
reported United States marine
plan to run an armored group
today along the fence line sep-
arating this naval base from Cuba
was abruptly cancelled last night.
The marines had been planning
the show of force after a flurry
of rock-throwing by Cubans in the
area.
Hurried Conference
The appearance of a dispatch
transmitted from here by radio
prompted a hurried conference in
the quarters of Rear Adm. Edward
J. O'Donnell, chief of the United
States naval base.
UN ambassador Adlai E. Steven-
son and John J. McCloy, a special
negotiator in the Cuban talks with
the Soviets, and UN Secretary-
General U Thant in New York
made reports, Salinger added.
Others at the White House session
included the main policy nukers
in the Cuban affair including the
secretaries of state and defense,
he said.
Tough Negotiation
Other informants forecast tough
negotiating ahead, and there even
is a growing expectation that some
of the elements of the Kennedy-
Khrushchev agreement for a Cuba
settlement may never be fulfilled.
Salinger said specifically that
the United States is still standing
by 4ts demand for a withdrawal
of Soviet bombers from Cuba as
well as missiles.
With yesterday's count showing
42 missiles headed back to Russia
aboard Soviet ships, United States
authorities figure the atomic
rocket menace from Cuba has
been virtually removed, but the
two dozen or more Soviet IL-28
bombers believed remaining in
Cuba can carry nuclear explosives,
too.
Kennedy has made plain the
United States includes the Soviet
bombers as offensive weapons to
be removed underithe deal but
the Russians have been foot-
dragging on this. The Havana re-
gime under Fidel Castro has pro-
tested their removal.
