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

Workshop

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.
The challenge was overwhelm
ingly defeated.
