The question is not a new one. Last year Cabinet decided to continue in NSA only after heated debate. Cabinet will probably not come to a decision tonight as to whether or not membership in the organization is desirable because Ray Faf raby, national vice president of NSA, Will speak to Cabinet members and, interested students Sunday night on'the advantages of membership in the organization. After discussion tonight and Sunday, Cabi net will then probably try to reach' an intelli gent conclusion regarding membership in NSA at its meeting next week. Students should not leave this decision en tirely up to the judgment of their representa tives on Cabinet. Likewise, members of Cabinet should place the question before their groups, discuss the matter at length, and vote accord ing to their groups' desires. This, of course, is not feasible for all mem bers of Cabinet because of the nature of their groups. But these members should try to obtain a sample of student opinion before they vote. Students should do their part also by either attending Farraby's talk or reading carefully news accounts of the lecture. They should then communicate with their representatives on Cabinet and voice their feelings on the issue. Why should students and Cabinet members go to all this trouble? Because membership in -the often-questioned national organization affects every student in a personal way. NSA membership costs Penn State students $7OO per year. This is quite a substantial sum even when distributed among over 11,000 stu dents. More important, perhaps, are the objectives of NSA. Quite contrary to the notions of most people, NSA does not concern itself chiefly with attempts to solve student problems com mon to member universities. Rather, it operates primarily on the national level by attempting to represent student opinion in politics and, government.

Needless to say, any veteran wants his or ganization to be as beneficial to himself as pos sible and at the same time influential on cam pus. A completely neutral political status is very necessary to achieve these aims. In spite of the fact that ties between the Veterans Club and the Campus Party would greatly benefit Campus Party, we would not recommend their affiliation with the Lion Party. Why? Because the veterans are limiting their scope of influence and the potential of their organization by a one-sided stand. In closing, I would like to say that Campus Party is definitely interested in the veterans and their problems and has always been in terested.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN; STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA forts are expended as * lobbying group in Con grist. If Penn State votes to continue in NSA, then, theoretically, the students at the Univer sity will be represented in Congreu by a pres sure group. NSA is a group which in the past has been connected with many radical viewpoints. For example, at the annual convention two years ago the correspondent for The Washington Post and Times Herald reported: "Two repre sentatives of the Labor Youth League, a Marx ist study group; are eficuliting Marxist propa ganda to delegates at the NSA convention. " If students are to be represented by a lobby in the national legislature they certainly should be in accord with the objectives of the lobby ing group. Another problem connected with member ship in NSA is the fact that in the past, al though the University has been a member of the organization, it has not really benefited from its membership. The ideas brought back by the University delegates to the national convention were never adequately disseminated to the student body. This fact is demonstrated by the almost total unconcern with NSA and unawareness of its existence on the part of the majority of the student body. This objection to NSA was raised last year when membership in the group was considered, but was overridden when it was suggested that a committee be appointed to study means to increase the importance of NSA at the Univer sity. A year has passed and is the situation any better? Is it worth $7OO per year to belong to an organization which thus far has done little more for the University than provide a great personal experience for •the three or four dele gates to the annual convention? The annual Student Encampment, which is attended by nearly 100 students, costs students only night ly more than $5OO. Cabinet members and students should con sider membership in the NSA long and thought fully before reaching a decision. It is a matter of great importance to every student. —The Editor Gazette ••• Today AIM FIRESIDE ORIENTATION PROGRAM. 7 p.m..

Photo Editor On Assignment Tradition dictates that every year a line should form at the ticket window the night before Penn game tickets go on sale. And this year was no exception. We happened to make a routine check in Rec Hall Tuesday night around 10 o'clock and, sure enough, about 14 men were grouped together near the ticket window reading textbooks. "This the line for Penn tickets?" we asked, thinking that probably some phys ed classes were over flowing. • "Yeah, but you'll have to get at the end of the line,"-one of the men replied without even looking up. We tactfully told the man that we were from the Collegian and looking for something that might make a good picture. "Oh, Collegian," he replied, "you guys just missed a good-shot. Campus cops were by here a min ute ago and said we couldn't sit under the ticket window. Said they were going to throw us out at 12. How about that?" We agreed with him that it was tough, but told him to sit tight there for a minute and we'd be right back with a camera. When we returned we noted that two of University Park's Fin est were about to throw them out. "You guys'll have to move on," one of the cops said. "The Dean says you can't stay here all night. Let's go." That's when we got our pic ture. But when our man Jacob son tried to identify the cops for the caption he got nowhere. "Sorry," one of the patrolmen said as he walked away, 'you'll have to check with Captain Mark on that." Oh, for the life of a campus cop. A friend of ours turned 21 to day and he claims he will mark the occasion by visiting one of State College's beter night spots —legally. . "That faked metric card stuff was too much," he said. "Too many checkers thought my pic ture didn't look like me. But now I can realize my greatest ambi tion. Now I can get my own TGIF card. Just think of it!" We wished him much success and headed for the Corner Room. At the Navy game last Satur day we noted that one photogra- THURSDAY. OCTOBER 20. 1955 By Bibler By RON .

It became apparent that he ob viously was not one of the local lensmen (he • carried two Leicas) so we built up enough curiosity to ask where he was from. "Colliers," hP replied. "We're only taking pictures of Moore, Welsh:, and Beagle. Possible All- Americans this year.' We picked them on our pre-season poll, you know:" Just then Lenny Moore came our way on a play which should have lost him yardage. But he danced around one Navy tackler, eluded another, and turned in a respectable gain. "Look at that will you," the Colliers man cried, "that's what makes an All-American!" We agreed with him whole heartedly. • • • The following item was re ceived last night in our office over the AP teletype: ". . . He said Peterson, who took the worst beating, may have died first.
