CAers Meet
(Ed. Note:—The following article is a report
by Emory Brown. member of the Penn State
delegation to the Student Christian Assiciation
convention at the University of Illinois.)
By Emory Brown
The National Assembly of the Student Chris
liar] Association movement was held at U. of. Eli
noiLs December 27 to January 3. Ten delegates
3irona Penn State attended along with 1000 dele
gat:s from most of the colleges hid universities in
The United States with a' few from Canadtan :
Schools.
This was the first national assemblY in four
yclars. The representatives .frim the colleges met
to determine program objectives and policies for
the next three or four years.
Policies adopted by the assembly determine
the action of the National Student councils of the
YMCA. and YWCA and give direction to Chris
tian Associations throughout the country. Al=
though all Cleistitin Aslsociations are: autono
:MAWS and therefore free to diverge from national
policies, each one will give careful 'Consideration
to recommendations made by' the National
As
sembly. The National Intercollegiate Christian
CoUncil is the legislative body which functions
between meeting of the National Assembly, and
they are guided by policies drawn up at this con
vention.
Dr. Albert C. Cutler, .associate professor lot
theology at Yale University Divinity School, pre
vented the platform addresses on Christian af
firmation, The presiding officers , of the assembly
were Mary AIM Mattoon, who is doing religious
Work here, at Penn State, and William Miller
from the University of Nebraska.
Special speakers included Charles Bolte foun
der of the American Veterans Committee, and
Dorothy McConnell, who spoke on the. Interim , -
final Scene. Charles Bolte's.topic was "The Vet
eran Looks at the Peace." He emphasized the
- need fior one world and stated. that our politic
ians should work Tor that in the near future, but
he expressed' regret that our present administra
tion was not headed in that direction.

Chicago Report
Ireterclay it was•said that the Chicago Studvt
Conference took a cautious view of international
affiliation, It tabled a motion to participate in a
festival sponsored by the World Federation of
Democratic Youth (WFDY) and it refused lo
even recommend thlat NSO should immediately
join ISIT. the International Union of Students,
New this is 'a good men. It shows that the con
ference was definitely not diminated by a bunch
of longhairs as some of its. critics might have us
think. tlt shows that the students were better in
formed than the usual convention delegates. Why?
Well, that WEEPY festival looked goOd on the
surface. There were to be cultural and 'sports
activities, campfires, hikes, and a tour of Lidice
all fairly innocent until one realized that the
violently anti-Fascist AMY woul{l use this asi
another piece of: propaganda claiining that .
US
,sfudents were condoing their every act, .
- 1 IA similar problem arises, with the lUS, which
is the true representative of foreign national stu
dent societies; and as such the student counter-,
part of UNESCO: 'lt is a democratic organization,'
but it is overrun by Communistic individual
members (la out of 1 1 7 on the Executive Council
at the last count).
Dr. Richard P. McKean, UNESCO member and!
keynote speaker at the conference, said, "Com
mon ends pursued by 'common means ,but for difk
ferent reasons is not a compromise of ideals."
Dr. McKean was comparing *the U.S. and for
eign countries in UNESCO. It is questionable
whether an analogy can be made between this and
a student organization. Why? Because students in
America aren't as vocal politically as those• of
foreign countries. We don't have student riots,
student strikes, and mass student murders as
student groups have oversew. And it is doubtful
whether we want such a group.
• Yet iC the N•S'O now being formed is to affiliate
internationally it must be•willing to hold its own
with nationalistic communist groups. The people
at Chicago deserve credit for not 'being as hope
lessly idealistic as other student groups which
have plunged headlong into the international
scene only to be given bad labels by the Ameri
can press and discredited before they could do
any good.
Then what did the conference decide on inter
national action? 'Harvard University 'was accepted
as a clearing house for all international stud nit
work and,plans were made for increaSed.student
relief in collaboration with World Student
'for pressing the Bloom Bill, whidh in Con
gress now would sponsor foreign Students . here
as the passed Fullbright Bill• will sponsor Ameri
can students overseas; for assistance in selection
of international scholarship winners for increased
student exchanges; for collecting and distributing
information in 'America concerning foreign col
leges; for establishing Eason between cultural,
economic, and political faoulties in American col
leges and foreign colleges.
All these things are to be done in collaborating
with existing org.anizations but the INSO will
provide the needed national impetus and•
integration.
Edit Shorts—
• That little publicity sheet, "Capitol News,"
sent out from Harrisburg, this week reports that
a record crop of seed potatoes was grown in Penn
sylvania in 1946; a record kill of foxes is expected
this season; a record decline in rabies cases was
shown this year and the State is prepared to place
a $137,000,000 highway construction program un
derway
. in 1947. Still no news about any sizeable
appropriations to make Penn State the best State
school in the country. What isn't your state repre
sentative or senator doing in Harrisburg to inn=
prove the situation?

AVC Requests
Payroll Revision
The American Veterans Com
mittee (AVC) urged the Veterans
Administration today to adopt a
deceatiraElzed system of paylng l
subsistence allowances to veterans
attending colleges, similar to the
payroll system used in the Army,
so that the payments , earn be
promptly made.
Asserting that the present sys
teM•has delayed payment of the
allowance in many. cases the
AVC declared': "Veteran's attend
ing. colleges have a difficult. time .
making! ends meet and it is our
belief ' - Mat p4lompt . . payment of
their allowances is the govern-
ment'a duty."
The A . VC recommended that a
qualified disbursing officer be ap
pointed to Make payments of al
lon,varices directly to student vet
erans that payroll lists be pre
pared Monthly from records oil the
local VA. office; that the disburs
ingoffieer receive a single cheek
from, the Treasury covering the
entire payroll; and that the dis
bursing officer make cash pay
ments as indicated on the pay
roll.
Chat Paterson, AVC's national
legislative. - representative, in a
letter to General .Bradley, said
that reports from some AVC col
lege , cliapters indicate that the
present method of payment, --by
checks lssuel through the. Trea
sury Department, is working a
hardship on student veterans.
"At the UniVersitY of Michigan,
for 'example, veterans with no
source of income except their
subsistence allowances were kept
waiting more than 68 days before
receiving 'any checks," he asserted.
Citing a report from the AVC
chapters at the University of
Michigan, Paterson said that in
November less than one-third of
• the veterans on the campus had
received checks for the current
semester and that 10 per cent of
the student veterans had not re- .
ceiVed checks 2or the ' summer
semester. ` l As a consequence," he
Said,, "over 111200 veterans have
applied for emergency loans at
the university."
• Paterson said that the AVC was
working liar an increase in sub
sistence allowances to 11100 for
single men and , $l 2 / 5 for married ,
men, with an additional allow
ante of $25 for each -child, as one
of the key objectives of its legis-'
lative program.
