which discussed a definite policy or objective.
After the committee had agreed on the policy.

consisted of 'NCO voting delegates. 'Here long de
bate and discussion preceded final adoption.
After a- few hours' argument -an Affirmation on
Christian Faith was passed—it had to be very
broad because of the many different faiths rep
resented. Another issue that was long debated
was the 'one on "world order." This 'was -passed,
aired' it -emphasizes need for one world.

Passed in which the responsibility of each citizen

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENN:SYLVANIA
Fourth in a Series
Chicago Report
By FRED KECKER
The biggest question about the proposed Na
tional Student Organization is its reason for
existence. The answer is not as simple as the
question. The NSO will be of students, by stu
dents, and for students.
It will aim at becoming both the representa
tive and the servant of every college and uni
versity in America, a representative by reason
of its very composition, a servant by virtue of
its value to each campus.
The aims of NSO in the words of passed reso
lutions will be to "promote student friendship
on national and international scale." "secure
for all students extensive system of governmen
tal and private scholarship and family allowance
and the provision of textbooks, supplies, and all
other means to assure their independence," en
courage student-faculty cooperation on student
problems. . establish the independence and
freedom from, censorship of student organiza
tions and publications .. ", "to promote know
ledge of cultural advancements by and for stu
dents, and to oppose inequality of opportunity
within the bounds of practicability." •
Now all this sounds saccharine sweet. But
these students mean what they say and they
have already started to do what they say.
Most of the efforts to date have been made
by individual schools or small area units. Con
sider the $16,000 which Harvard alone mustered
for foreign student relief, the thousands of dol
lars which Smith College sent for the recon
struction of the University of Caen, the efforts
of the Metropolitan Intercollegiate 'Student
Council to get minimum wages for student 'em
ployees, used book exchanges in every school in
New York, independent and democratic student
governments, student funds free of faculty con
trol, Intercollegiate Publications Board to solve
the problems' school papers have in fighting com
mercialism. The list would cover pages, espec
ially if the work of independent national or
ganizations were added such as International
Student Service, .American Youth Hostels, and
Youth Builders.
Conceive if you can of one, large, student or
.ganization,..its members all of our American col
leges, working together to solve all-student and
only student proWems. It can be done; bid 'there
will be squabbles along . theVay..
.Consider the problein of whether our foreign
relief should be distributed by World - Student
Relief, - which works on the basis of need
,alarie,
or by the International Union of Students,
which works on the basis of need - plug merit.
What a fight we will haye deciding whether to
punish our enemies or reward theim at the ex
pense :of some of our foreign friends!
And. the question of - discrimination. We can
advocate abolition of. it all we want, but if .we
had pressed Ote matter too far at the Confer
ence, six southern states would have forbade
representatives from their state schools to come
to the convention next summer.
Last, the question of religion and politics. The
Conference stated that NSO "shall specifically
refrain from becoming involved in partisan po
litical affairs, sectarian religious considerations,
. . . with the single .exception that. NSO shall
stand unalterably opposed to any c political•doc
trine which would stifle - free and. democratic
educaton in the U. S."
That sounds gopd, but does it mean that 'stu
dents should fight for the Wagner-g,llender-Taft
Bill, which means student housing, the Bloom
Bill which means American aid to foreign stu-,
dents studying here, or various southern state
bills which would allow 'freedom from discrimi
nation in southern schools? It• is said that re
ligion will not enter in; yet a dictum passed by
the Conference concerning no religious discrimi
nation will have little effect on religiously en
dowed colleges. •
These problems an be- solved. But there _is
one problem that is tougher than all these. And
that is student apathY. Penn .State should be a
leader in the new NSO. But to be a leader she
needs not only the - four good delegates she
had at Chicago" but 7000'studentS who see'faith
er ahead than next .S4tprclay?s date. Let's help
Messrs. FoOte,•Shee.hap. and Blatt and Miss,Way
good in forming plans .o.f action' which thictigh
local effort will build a better 'national educa
tional system.

• King Alfred was filled with a desire to edu
cate, and to this end organized a school at the
Ox Ford, where his friend Asser taught. This
school was the germ of the University of Oxford.
Attached to this school was a farm, where the
boys were taught how to sow and plant and reap
to the best advantage. Here they also bred and
raised horses and cattle, and the care of livestock
was a part of the curriculum. It was the first Col
lege of Agriculture.
