Further information on the show and its participants is included in the story to the right. March Brings 'Politickin New Offices Formed To Work with SAC The newly created offices of NSA and NFCCS coordinators will be open for nominations in the forthcoming March 21 SAC election. The offices were instituted by the SAC at its March 6 meeting. Article IV of the school constitution was sus pended by the SAC to allow for intro duction of the sixth and seventh of fices. Final revision of the article must be ratified by a two-thirds vote of the student body. Anne Miller, president of the SAC, stated that this move was made by the student council in hopes that communi cation between the student body, SAC, NSA and NFCCS may be improved. The action should help to make the NSA and NFCCS more effective on campus. It was also stated that the SAC will profit from the newly organized of fices since both organizations deal with many things in the realm of student government, and therefore, will help toward solving campus problems. Anne said that this move will make the SAC more aware of things outside the campus which affect students lo cally, nationally and internationally. Why NSA should not claim to rep resent all American students was the main topic of discussion at a meeting of student delegates held at North western University, Feb. 25. Schools represented were Mundelein, Barat, Rosary, Roosevelt, Northwestern, Wheaton and MacMurray Colleges. BECAUSE NSA MEMBER- SCHOOLS represent only one-third of the students in .the United States, dele gates protested claims of the National Student Association to speak for the entire body of American students. Also discussed were ideas on how to make NSA a more representative group on campus. The results of this meeting will be sent to all NSA mem bers in the U.S. and to all non-mem ber schools in the Illinois-Wisconsin region. The letter stating these pro posals is now being drafted. NORTHWESTERN also proposed to change the wording of the preamble of the NSA constitution to read, We, as students of the United States of America, rather than its present form, We, the students of the United States of America. Attending this meeting were senior Anne Miller and sophomores Sue Brown, Mary Fran Burke, Maureen Fleming and Beverly Kemp. A MEETING of these same dele gates will be held in the near future to further discuss the problems of the Etc/- Comprises Variety Show Format; 16 Acts To Enter Varied Competition SAC Nomination Date Set; Rules, Requirements Cited Deadline for the SAC nominations is March 21.

Pledge Plan Replaces Traditional Benefit In Slim Vote Margin With about 75 per cent of the stu dent body voting last week, the pledge program won over the traditional per formance type benefit, 367 to 333. A special committee under the di rection of two SAC members will handle next year's pledge plan the ways it will be collected, how often and the amounts pledged. Anne Miller, SAC president dis closed that the adoption of .the pledge program does not exclude the possi bility of having a performer the stu dents prefer for entertainment. In that case, tickets would be sold only to cover the expense of the perform ance. If the contract would be canceled by the performer, as has happened in re cent years, there would be no pres sure to obtain someone in his place.
