Mike, a recent guest on campus, informed interested students about the purpose and scope of the organization. NSA Delegate Summarizes Workings of Student Congress by Sue Brown, NSA Co-ordinator One thousand delegates from 400 colleges across the nation gathered at the National Student Congress held at the University of Wisconsin this summer. This was the supreme legislative body of the United States National Student Associa tion. Conservative and reform move ments prior to the Congress re ceived much national publicity. Howie Phillips, ex-student council president at Harvard, Kay Wonder- lie of Northwestern and the Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) led the movements. Ultraconservative speakers in cluded Bill Buckley, editor of National Review and author of God and Man at Yale and Up from Liberalism; Congressman Roussel- lot of California, M.

On the other end of the political spectrum were liberal speakers Governor Gaylord Nelson of Wis consin, James Farmer, National Director of the Congress on Racial Equality and Assistant Postmaster General Richard Murphy, a former NSA president. The conservative-reform bloc challenged the very nature of USNSA, claiming that we should limit our considerations to issues directly connected with college campus, that minority reports should be printed in the book con taining NSA policy, that the Pre amble of the Constitution be changed from We the students to We as students for more ac curate representation (the writer co-sponsored this amendment) and that wholesale referral of reso lutions to the National Executive Committee be stopped. Issues received most intense dis cussion and evaluation informally in the midnightly sessions of the Liberal Study Group, the Liberal and Moderate Caucuses and the Regional Caucuses. All present were urged to express their points of view and contrasting ideas met head on. Issues were clarified which resulted in a better-than-usual degree of understanding and com munication among delegates. The general reaction to the con servative-reform bloc proposals was negative, especially to the position of limiting the area of consideration to education issues. This was generally thought to be a narrow and inadequate definition of the word education, as the student lives in a complex com munity and is involved in the prob lems we face nationally and inter nationally. As the representative of the United States in the Inter national Student Conference, USNSA must vote on resolutions proposed by other national associa tions. Abstention on the part of America's national student associa tion would result in a loss of our leadership role and could greatly jeopardize our international posi tion. A good number of delegates thought that NSA did not have enough direct contact with member campuses. Many expressed the desire for NSA to put more emphasis on educational program ming within the region. The Liberal Caucus, led by an unsanforized Abraham Lincoln type, dispelled one of many illu sions that the liberals were organized. Extreme factionalism and hos tility which characterized the (Continued on Page 5) Folk Singers Play For Student Body Joe and Penny Aronson, a part of a new show business phenome non, the urban folk singers, will present Mundelein College students and faculty with selections from their repertoire of folk and satirical songs, Tuesday, Oct. 10 at 1:10 p.m. in the college auditorium.
