In discussing NSA, Bullock ex plained that he does not think the University should belong to the [organization because it involves 'itself in national politics. ' He said that he doesn’t think any educational institution should iget mixed up in politics and par ticularly not the University. At the national conventions NSA representatives vote on na tional political issues and the deci sion is stated as the opinion of NSA. Land-Grant University Bullock said he does not think the University should belong to any organization of this kind part-' ly because it is a land-grant insti-i tution. nartly because it receives; money from the State Legislature,' and partly because Dr. Milton S. Eisenhower is a national figure and a closer adviser to President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Bullock gave as another rea son for not belonging to NSA the idea that “we are using NSA as a scapegoat.” He said that by spend ing money to belong to NSA we 'are trying to get it to do some of jour work for us. “Anything NSA :can do for us,” he said. “We can do 'just as well for ourselves.” Salk Vaccine Wins Approval BOSTON (/P) —After months of delay, Massachusetts, center of' a summer polio epidemic has de cided to resume a mass program of Salk vaccine inoculations.

The decision leaves Idaho as the only state which has not given a green light to the Salk vaccine.
