National Affairs Talks
Treat Campus Problems
Inter-campus and intra-campus problems, both on a regional
and national scale, will be considered in four National Affairs Work
shops at the NSA Regional Assembly. Existing committees and pro
grams will be explained and discussed, and plans for extension and
expansion will be considered.
Students who have already participated in certain phases of
NSA's domestic program will act as discussion leaders, explaining
existing facilities for the han
dling of specific problems. A
critical review of accomplish
ments to date and suggestions for
improyement will follow.
After the complete program
has been worked out, colleges
will be selected to handle spe
cific phases through the estab
lishment of committees on their
campuses.
Each delegate, alternate and
observer at the assembly, except
a few special
.committees, will
attend both a domestic and an
international workshop of his
choice. Proceedings will be as in
formal as possible.
Workshop discussion leaders
will report on the adopted pro
grams in the second plenary ses
sion tomorrow, for criticism and
ratification by the entire as
sembly.
Racial Relations
Larry Weiskrantz, of Swarth
more College, will lead the dis
cussion in this important work
shop. He was named chairman of
NSA's Regional Race Relations
Clinic at the December conven
tion, and has brought to the task
his wide background of experi
ence as an active member of the
race relations group already ex
isting at Swarthmore.
Among other activities, the
NSA Clinic has recently sent out
a comprehensive questionnaire
to all regional colleges concern
ing campus discrimination. The
results of this questionnaire, and
suggestions for future question
naires, will be an important item
on this workshop's agenda.
There will be a general survey
of discriminatory practices, and
a consideration of the most effec
tive methods of eliminating such
practices. Specific projects will
be outlined, and colleges selected
for their implementation.
Government
Many regional colleges have
ineffective student governments.
or have none at all. One of
NSA's most comprehensive pro
grams is in the field of student
government. The Regional Stu
dent Government Clinic, headed
by Betty Hamilton of Bryn Mawr
College, will make a report in
this workshop, and prpblems
connected with the establish
ment and bettering of student
governments will be considered.
