LOFTY AIMS FOR N.S.A. In September, 1947, on the campus of the University of Wis consin at Madison, Wisconsin, there was launched the United States National Student Association. Some 750 delegates repre senting 1,389,000 students in 356 leading colleges and universities throughout the United States met there to plan a dynamic and comprehensive program of activities to be carried out on the in dividual campuses represented there. The aims and purposes of this permanent organization are beautifully expressed in the pre amble to the constitution, "We, the students of the United States of America, desiring to maintain academic freedom and student rights, to stimulate and improve democratic student governments, to develop better educational standards, facilities, and teaching methods, to improve student cultural, social and physical welfare, to promote international understanding and fellowship, to guaran tee to all people, because of their inherent dignity as individuals, equal rights and possibilities for primary, secondary and higher education regardless of sex, race, religion, political beliefs or econ omic circumstances, to foster the recognition of the rights and responsibilities of students to the school, the community, humani ty, and God, and to preserve the interests and integrity of the government and Constitution of the United States of America, do hereby establish this Constitution of the United States National Student Association." The Pennsylvania regional conference of the USNSA was held at the Pennsylvania State 'College December 19 to 21, 1947. The Hazleton Undergraduate Center was represented there by sopho mores Patricia Kringe and Gladys Lorah. 'This time the regional conference was held in conjunction with the annual convention of the National Student Government Association, and Sophomore Frank Lucia represented HUC there. To The Faculty And Students During the recent semester it has been my privilege to serve as •pres ident of the college council and the sophomore •class. On several occa sions, I have been approached by members of both groups for informa tion •concerning the council activi ties. This shows definite interest in school activities— an indispensible characteristic of any growing institu tion. It is only through this medium that all council members, as well as class officers, are aware of your de sires. If you have something to say, tell it to student reuresentatives, so that we may be better able to serve you in the future. The Editor's Dilemma Getting out a newspaper is fun, but it's no picnic. If we print jokes people say we are silly. If we don't they say we are to serious. If we clip things from other news- 0 690‘' 0 papers, we are too lazy to write them ourselves. If we don't, we are too fond of our own stuff. If we don't print contributions we don't appreciate true genius. If we do print them, the page is filled with junk. Now, like as not, some one will say we swiped this front some other newspaper—we did. DID YOU NOTICE? BOBBY LATZ'S craving for can dy?

This has been found to be especially true for the G. Vs during the past war and as the Student Council has no ticed, HUC is blessed with several of these average' Americans. In the not so reasonable facsimile of a game room, half of the ashtrays provided for the students' convenience have managed to sprout legs and creep into someone's pockets. Unofficial re ports have it that one of these glass ash trays dropped from 'a -student's pocket while at the Broad Street Building. So any students who are having sleepless nights, suffering from nervousness and indigestion, try returning those ash trays and see the difference it will make.
