Senate Vote on NSA
Unreflective
Solons' Plan Study Called Insufficient'
We see no reason to regard the senate vote on NSA as an expression of an intelligent and informed desire on the part of the entire student body.”
This was the answer given by President Fred D. Fagg’s faculty committee to the argument that affiliation with NSA
♦should be approved as a legitimate satisfaction of student desire.

Music Education
. . . majors planning to register in education, 174 abgh in the fall, 1948. must attend a meeting Thursday May 6. at 2:15, 11 Music building, 35th Place and Hoover street.
The committee, composed of Educational Vice-President A. S. Raubenheimer and Profs. Frank C. Baxter, Sidney Duncan, Robert Kingsley, and Emery Olson, devoted many hours of study to the problem and concluded after their investigation that no comparable study had been made by the students, nor by the majprity of their responsible leaders.
EXAMINE NSA According to the report made to Dr. Fagg by the faculty group, NSA was closely examined In an effort to answer seven questions: What was the genesis of NSA; how was the present degree of organization reached; what are the Implications of the objectives stated in the pro posed constitution and by-1 a w s what benefits will reputedly accrue to the university through affilia tion?
What are the weaknesses of the proposed organization and possible disadvantages of affiliation; can any of the desirable effects of af-filial^n be more readily realized through other university action does our own student government need reforms which should precede affiliation with any national organ ization?
GROUPS BACK NSA It appeared to the faculty members that the organization* is the result of promotional efforts by va rious student organizations but not by student bodies and that some of of the groups were of questionable sanction.
They made it clear that they be lieved NSA, as presently organized and led, to be an organ of honest, well-intentioned, and strongly idealistic persons, and they thought the same to be true of local students who have led the movement for establishment of a local chapter.
Fear was expressed, however, that a real risk exists that elements which are spoken of as “Communist front” might become dominant factors — as they have in other similarly well-sponsored and well-intended groups in the past.
FEARS CLAUSES Assurance that the university could disaffiliate if this should happen was rejected by the committee because of clauses in the NSA constitution. The following clause was quoted:

by Bill Stevens
WASHINGTON, May 29 —Dr. Bradford Shank, nuclear physicist of Pepperdine college, showed the documentary film “Where Will You Hide?” to the house committee on military affairs today.

Coeds Discuss SC Publications
Coeds were told the importance of women’s work on the three SC publications, the Daily Trojan, the Wampus, and the El Rodeo, yesterday at the lecture sponsored by the YWCA and AWS leadership training program in the art and lecture room of the University library.
Essential abilities necessary for a campus leader, were enumerated by Astrid Carlson, who said that feminine leadership is more restricted on the Daily Trojan than in most campus activities because of the high degree of competition. However, she said that ambitious women can hold responsible staff jobs.
Diane Lockhart spoke on writing and art opportunities available on the Wampus and El Rodeo. She said that though the work is time-consuming. the experience is invaluable. “Women can aspire to the editor-in-chief on either of these literary works,” she said.
Katie Connolly was unable to speak on leadership in Panhellenic activities but will talk at the next leadership training program, according to Nancy Winstanley, program chairman.

DEAN MORELAND , . . hits disinterest
Apathy Blamed For Book Lack
Apathy on the part of sororities taking part in the YMCA book drive prompted Dean Helen Hall Moreland to urge Panhellenic representatives yesterday to participate in the campaign to collect books for foreign students.
Dean Moreland told the group that sororities are privileged groups on the campus, and as such must take every opportunity to recognize their responsibility in helping foreign students in war-torn countries. The poor showing that organized students have displayed in the YMCA book drive has been disappointing, she added.
Dean Moreland inrormed the Panhellenic representatives that out of the 18 sororities on campus, only eight have contributed any books at all to the YMCA drive.
The books collected at SC will be sent to the Philippines, where they will be used in the library to be constructed in honor of SC men who died in service.
To afford a last opportunity for students to turn in books for the memorial library, the book depot. 36th place and Hoover street, will be open Saturday and Sunday from 10 ajn. to 4 p.m.
