VOL 63. No. 5 NSA condemns Testing Of All Nuclear Devices Following Heated Debate By wiNsiE BOYLE (This is the second in a series of articles concerning the 15th Na tional Student Congress of the United States National Student Association held in Columbus, • Ohio, August 19-31.) One of the most hotly debated issues at the 15th National Stu dent Congress concerned the stand of the organization on nu clear testing. • Following a dusk-to-dawn de late, , the Congress voted by slim margin of 35 votes to con deinn; nuclear testing, regardless of which nation does the testing. In so doing, the 15th Congrest supported previous congresses in urging test ban efforts and in condemning' nuclear testing. THE 11ESOLIMON a a i d: 'While realizing that each of the nuclear powers is acting in what it feels to be its national interest, USNSA deplores politically or militarily oriented tests of - nu clear devices, whether by the United States, the Union of So viet Socialist Republics, the Unit ed Kingdom of France.... USNSA particularly condemns the re sumption of testing by the USSR in 1961." A major+ debate centered on whether- the Soviet Union's re sumption of leilting in 1961 should be condemned more strongly than the subsequent testing by the ncam • ment Workshop By ROCHRLE MICHAELS (This is the second of a series of five articles , on the 1962 Stu dent Encampment which re cently closed at Mont Alto. :Below is an account of the Four- Term Workshop recommenda 'ticms.)

United States. At issue was the question of using a double stand ard lin judging the moral actions of nations. THE CONGRESS was split on this issue. One faction argued that testing by any nation is - a threat to the health, safety and futiire existence of the human race and its action is therefore equally deplorable. The — other side in the ;debate Said that the resumption of nu clear testing by the United States after the Soviet Union had re sumed testing was necessitated by ; military defense considera tions. These students said ..the U.S. had no other alternative than to test if it were to follow the priamble of its constitution in "prpviding for the common de fense" of the country. BEFORE DEBATING the is sue, one grout. charged that even to discuss the issue was unconsti tutional. According to the USNSA constitution, any issue which con cerns students 4in their role as students is eligible for debate by the Congress. The proponents: 'of the consti tutional appeal argued that al though nuclear testing does af fect. .students in their role as citizens, it does not affect them in ;their role as students.
