PAGE TWO Who Belongs Heard from time to time on campus is this comment: “Someone in my dorm belongs to that NSA” or, “A fellow in my botany class is a member of the National Student Associa tion.” These remarks are evidence of a prevalent misconception about the membership of NSA—a misconception that the National Student Association is an organization of small branches or chapters on campuses and that only a select few really "belong." At Penn State, where the student govern ment has ratified the NSA constitution and membership dues have been paid, all the stu dents are members of the Association and share equally the opportunity to participate in NSA-instituted programs. IT'S NATURAL THAT in an organization of such a large national membership a smaller functional unit on each campus is necessary. THE FUNCTIONAL UNIT of NSA at Penn State, as at other colleges, is student govern ment. However, All-College Cabinet—highest unit of student government at the College— has found it necessary to set up a committee whose task is to familiarize students with NSA activity and to study many projects suggest ed by the nation-wide NSA and by Penn State students. This NSA committee should not be per mitted to become a small clique of indi viduals who try to be the sole participants in all NSA projects at Penn Stale. Rather the committee should constantly work, to bring the entire campus NSA—the entire student body—into the activities of the As sociation. Gazette ....

What They Deserve TO THE EDITOR: The recent letters in the Collegian concerning the import situation mere ly substantiates whdt so many of us then stu dents have maintained for such a long time con cerning the Penn State coed. What do we main tain? Primemost that the Penn State coed is not the type girl that most men students would want to escort to a major event such as the recent dance; secondly, that the Pehn • > State coed has no more personality than “the man in the moon;” thirdly, that they pretend conceit whep they have nothing to act conceited about, and. last of all, they don’t know how to be theinselves, meaning everything about them is false and pretended. We the undersigned, regard the recent im port letter ds,a frank admittal on the coeds’ part that they lack what is important in the form of personality, poise, and good clean fun neces sary to attract a man. —Our dates for the prom were IMPORTS.. • •( 'Rudy Bennardi Tom'Bradley , MikeSilan « Contented Coeds TO THE EDITOR: To enter into the batse of the sekes at Perth State: 1. We are .two females. 1 2. We go to Whatever mixers we cap. 3. We return, any friendly gestures made by men. , V 4. We'have'absolutely NO trouble with date bids. In fact, we’re wondering. when we’re ever going to get around to this 24-hour study cycle that is expected of graduate students] 5. In the long run, we just about divvy up ~opr date-time with fraternity, and independent men., We have no preference. We merely try to bfe discreet in that we accept; dates with those chpps who have our type personality (whatever that . is). 6. 'We prefer spontaneous dates. We rarely accept dates more than a few. days in advance (Unless ifs for a special night). During the war, Gl’s were in .no position to date in ad vance, W|:cp?ne, from that school of thought. Besides, dates for the same night can be ac cepted or, decljned in order to fit the mOod. More furi thatjway. . 7. Condolences to the date-less girls. Good fpr the imports. And, a big HOORAH for the men . . especially those men Who won’t ’take a date sight unseen. • Names withheld > jsftjT, latlg Collegian Successor ■ to 1 THE FREE LANCS, art. IfiB7 , Published .
