Regional NSA Establishes
Transfer Student Program
By ALLAN OSTAR, NSA Delegaie
(This is the fourth and final report on the NSA to the constitu
tional convention held at the University of Wisconsin last sum
mer.)
Penn State will play an important role in the international ac
tivities of the NSA. Art the Pennsylvania regional meeting held on
campus at the beginning of Christmas vacation, Harold E. Brown,
a sophomore Penn State delegate,
was elected, head of international
affairs for the region.
Also to be set up on campus
will be a regional commission to
gather information and make ar
rangements for a student ship
program. This program calls for
the obtaining of converted troop
ships from the Maritime Commis
sion to provide low-cost trans
portation of American students to
Europe for summer study or to
aid in rehabilitation projects.
This commission was accepted
by Penn State because of the ex
perience of John H. Ferguson,
head of the political science de
partment, and J. Paul Selsam,
professor of European history,
both of whom conducted Amer
ican students to Europe last
summer, in State Department
sponsored student ships.
Includes Publications
Projected international activi
ties of NSA include the publica
tion and exchange of articles
written by students throughout
the world. This will be done
through cooperation with World
Student News, the publication of
the International Union of Stud
ents. Articles written by U. S.
students will be sent to the
American editor in Prague. There
will also be an exchange of pub
lications with student groups not
affiliated with lUS.
Other projects include making
