Permanent SU
Opens at Dußois
The first permanent student
union building on any Pennsyl
vania State Collage campus has
just been opened at the Dußois
Undergraduate Center, Dr. David
B. Pugh, superintendent of un
dergraduate centers, said.
Built through the combined
efforts of the community and the
faculty who donated both money
and labor, the building is a con
crete block structure.
Its main- feature is a lounge
room 45 feet square with a huge
fireplace around which students
gather during sandwich hours
and in the evenings. There is also
a recreation room as well as of
fices for exara-curricular activi
ties.
The “Field House” is located
right on the Dußois campus,
making it readily accessible to
the 385 students at the Center.
Regional NSA
(Continued from page one)
arrangements for the academic
exchange of students, planning
study tours, work camps, and
hosteling, orienting and aiding
foreign students who are study
ing on American campuses, spon
soring WSSF fund drives for re
lief, and sending official dele
gates representing U. S. students
to various international confer
ences.
NSA, which was recognized as
the only official organization re
presenting the U. S. student
bodies, recently was granted a
seat on UNESCO.
Controversial Issue
The most controversial issue at
the Wisconsin convention was
discussion over affiliation of the
NSA with the International
Union of Students (lUS). After
much debate it was decided to
affiliate providing that lUS was
willing to make a few changes in
its procedure and constitution.
A large majority of delegates
present favored affiliation for
two reasons:
1. The great and urgent need
for specific and large -scale
means of contact and familiariza
tion of the students of countries
whose present mutual differen
ces, suspicions, and lack of infor
mation may well lead to contin
uing and increasing unrest and
even war throughout the world.
2. The more immediately prac
tical advantage of affiliation with
lUS the many international
projects and activities in which
American students and colleges
can profitably take part as a
member-organization of lUS.
In considering affiliation the
convention recognized that the
majority of the present leader
ship of lUS are far to the left of
American students, and that lUS
has tended to lay greater stress
upon political activity and ex
pressions of opinions than is cus
tomary or desirable in student
organizations in the U. S.
NSA May Remain Minority
It was realized that NSA may
for some time remain in a minor
ity position on many major is
sues within lUS, but that with
the conditions for affiliation
adopted by the convention NSA
will be protected from possible
abuse as the representative of the
U. S. students.
The convention came to the
conclusion that mutual under
standing and acquaintanceship
with other counties can be deci
sive in helping to avert more in
tensified friction which may lead
to an atomic world war.
NSA’s position in lUS offers an
opportunity for extensive and
significant modifications in the
extreme policy of the organiza
tion
lUS is at present the largest
international association of na
tional student organizations, and
includes countries such as the
Soviet Union. Asiatic and colon
ial lands with whom far-reaching
cooperation and joint activities
for students are difficult outside
of lUS today.
The convention felt that affi
liation with lUS must be based
on a sincere and whole-hearted
intention to work with member
countries in friendship and with
out hidden purposes.
