Viewed by

discussed the allegation that the
National Student Association has
subversive leanings.

Lawrence J. Perez Jr., sophomore
in Engineering Science from
State College, the council's repre
sentative at the National Student
Association Conference •in Au
gust, a council representative
asked Perez about the provisi•)ns
of the NSA constitution concern
ing members who belong to sub
versive organizations.
Perez said that this subversive
question was one of concern to
many members at the conference.
He said in his interpretation of
the policy of the NSA, it did not
deny membership in its organiza
tion just because the person be
longs to organizations advocating
the violent overthrow of the gov
ernment.
Perez made two recommenda
tions to the council. He recom
mended that as long as the Uni
versity is a member of NSA the
Engineering an d Architecture
Student Council should send a
representative to NSA national
conferences.
He also recommended that the
council set up a liason between
itself and the NSA organization
on campus.
