NSA Mooting
Ideas Produced
On USG Image
PITTSBURGH A weekend of discussion groups and
speakers produced several ideas about how the National
Student. Association can aid in building the image of student
government at the University.
. After voting to join NS
Undergraduate Student Govern
ment sent seven delegates to the
association’s regional .conference
at Chatham College this weekend.
THE CONCEPT of “serious in
vestigation,” even though it 1 may
take several months, is the only
one for student government to
employ in obtaining its goals, Eu
gene Zagat, ,NSA program vice
president, said.
Zagat recommended that USG
set up standing committees con
cerning admimstrational depart
ments to deal with student com
plaints.-
* Using the health center as an
example, he said a committee
could investigate common com
plaints and suggest ways of im
provement' A mature, complete
report on the issue, he said, would
be welcomed by the administra
tion and gain respect for the stu
dents.

By ROCHELLE MICHAELS
!A last Thursday night, the
* Delegates from other colleges
said that this was one way they
had used to build the image of
student government on their cam
puses. When a report was finished,
they said, students' had evidence
of their government having done
something. Often the recommen
dations were accepted, they added.
DISCUSSING town housing
[conditions, Zagat said NSA is not
a, “panacea”.for student problems
but rather a source of information
about ways other schools have
dealt with similar problems,
i ftSA’s Student Government In
formation Service sends out data
not only bn methods which have
succeeded on other campuses, but
also on the ones which have failed
and opinions bn why they failed.

the schools must ask for aid on

they are elated by prospects that

The government obviously
hoped the presence of U.S. forces
