D-ELEGATE REPORTS'
RESULTS OF SIXTH
N.iS. F.A MEETING'
Katherine Koch, '32, Serves as
Representative in Annual
Event.
DISCUSS VITAL TOPICS
Problems of Tariff, Prohibition,
Reparations,
Considered
by Congress.
(Editor's Note: This is the first of
a series of three articles to appear
on the N. S. F. A. Convention).
In a report of the progress made
at the sixth annual congress of the1
National Students' Federation of
America which was held Dec. 29
to Jan. 2 at Atlanta, Georgia, Kath-
erine Koch, '32, Michigan delegate,
stated that the purpose of the con-
verition was "an adventure in prac-
tical idealism." More than 250 rep-
resentatives of schools from all
over the country gathered to dis-
cuss problems of student self-gov-
ernment, and to formulate methods
for fostering intelligent student
opinion on national and interna-
tional affairs.
Georgia Institute of Technology
sponsored the convention this year,
and was host to the men delegates.
The women were accommodated at
the Agnes Scott College at Decatur,
a few miles from Atlanta, where
the sessions were held at the Bilt-
more hotel.
Discuss Tariff Issue.
Discussion this year centered on
the tariff, as a problem of particu-
lar significance at the present time.
The first morning of the conven-
tion, Norman Thomas addressed
tle members through the medium
of the radio, and presented the So-
cialist viewpoint of the taritf ques-
tion.
At the Plenary session, held the
first day, a committee on student
opinion was formed to consider na-
tional questions of importance, and
to present resolutions on these
matters to the Congress as a whole.
This committee represented geo-
graphical division of the country,
and Miss Koch was chosen as a
representative.1
Formulate Questions.
After a long session, it was de-
cided that the individual members
formulate a series of questions of
national issues for discussion in
Congress. Such vital matters as
Unemployment Insurance, Prohi-
bition, Reparations, and Recogni-
tion of Soviet Russia were present-
ed, and much heated debate was
precipitated. The general concen-
sus of opinion in the conventioni
reflected the general standpointsI

i
with Mrs. Lila Pargment, instructor
in the French and Russian litera-
turedepartments: she likes to do
nothing better than read and ice
skate.
She spends every spare moment
she can pursuing these occupations,
and, as she naively admitted, "I,
often take time when I should be
doing something else to finish a
chapter in a bock or rush off to the
Coliseum to skate for an hour or
two and have such a splendid time
I don't come back when I know I
should."
All her life Mrs. Pargment has
liked to read. When she was very
young she was like all children, for
she read all the fairy stories she
could possibly find. As she grew
older her taste developed and she
graduated to travel stories and
books of natural history.
Now, as her favorite authors she
ranks Dostoiesvsky first, Tolstoi a
close second, and Gorki third. P.
Romanov is her favorite of the con-
temporary authors of today. Mrs.
Pargment is particularly interested
in these authors because they treat
coming under that influence."
And now as a direct contrast to
love of reading Mrs.Pargment smiled
and said, "But now, I have another
little hobby which I practice when-
ever I have the opportunity-skat-
ing. When I was very young in
Russia I skated all the time. Later,
when I was living in Paris I didn't
have much opportunity. But now,
here in Ann Arbor, I skate all the
time I possibly can. I really prefer
outside skating, but you can't al-
ways depend on the weather." And
Mrs. Pargment is a real person who
really likes to do these things which,
seem to be so characteristic of dif-
ferent types of character.

Scores of Tuesday's Games.
Sigma Kappa 24, Adelia Cheever 11.
Although not a particularly fast
game it was much harder fought
than the score would indicate. Sig-
ma Kappa's advantage lay in hav-
ing two very tall forwards: Mar-
garet Stahl and Helen Moore. Ger-

Both of these teams had very
