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 Sorority Functions Include Patroness and Faculty Events In spite of the imminence of ex- aminations, the sororities continue to be very active socially, especially with faculty and patroness dinners. i Kappa Kappa Gamma are honor- ing their patronesses withta dinner tonight.

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.
