In-Fighting on NSA Committee As It Struggles for Survival
LAWRENCE. KANSAS
Bv Scott Payne
A tense National Student Assn. Committee began its fight for survival yesterday in a verbal battle with a committee member and the Chairman of the All Student Council.
Wednesday, October 4, 1961
Jerry Palmer, El Dorado senior and ASC chairman, attacked the NSA on the grounds that the Committee does nothing here that a committee not nationally aligned could not do.
HE WARNED that the ASC will attack the Committee unless it can justify NSA affiliation.
and past chairman of KU Young Republicans, who is a member of the committee, opposes NSA because it is "nonrepresentative of the American student."
Charles McIlwaine, Wichita senior
Palmer asked, "Why is it worth $500 a year to send delegates to the NSA Congress? What benefits has KU received? What benefits can it receive? What benefits can KU derive from NSA? None, I think."
Charles Menzhini Defends
CAROL McMILLEN. Coldwater senior and Committee co-ordinator pointed out that NSA has provided benefits in the area of student travel.
"NSA has made it possible for American students to travel in Europe, for instance, for low rates," she said.
"All of this is interesting and fine for the campus," said Palmer, "however, this could be done by a group here without NSA affiliation."
She cited the Committee's informational role at KU. She said that the Committee provides an opportunity to air controversial views.
McLwillane said, "I agree. However, my objections to NSA aren't in this area. I object to NSA saying it represents all American students when
"I object to NSA discussing national and international issues rather than issues which affect students in their role as students," he added.
less than 20 per cent of U.S. colleges and universities are NSA members
"I ALSO THINK that the opinions NSA expresses on such issues conflict with those of the American student.
"I object to the fact that two thirds of NSA's resolutions aren't handled by the Congress itself but by NSA's National Executive Council.
"I also feel that the KU student was not accurately represented at the NSA Congress," he said.
"I believe that NSA's misrepresentation and partisanship misinforms the public of the American student's views.
Arthur C. Miller, Pittsburg junior, pointed out that McWainae had had a chance to go to this summer's Congress—a chance he had not taken.
At this point, Robert Thomas. Marysville senior and Committee chairman, interposed.
McILWAINE SAID he had been unable to attend.
"We must make some concerted effort to justify our existence here," he said. "I think our showing of 'Operation Abolition' last semester is an example of what we need more of at KU."
Palmer replied, "Now, if showing movies is the sort of thing the Committee is going to do, why belong to NSA?
USSR Fires 17th Nuclear Device
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — The Soviet Union early today fired the 17th nuclear blast of its current test series—an atmospheric explosion equal to several million tons of TNT.
It was one of the most powerful devices set off by the Russians since they resumed testing Sept. 1, breaking a three-year-old moratorium. Like the earlier Soviet shots, it produced radioactive fallout.
The U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC), which announced the test, said it was held in the arctic region near Novaya Zemlya where most of the Soviet explosions have occurred.
The AEC announcement means the Russians now have exceeded the number of nuclear shots fired in 1958.
"You've had the summer Congress and regional meetings at the expense of the KU students," he said. "But what has KU gotten from all of this?
"TD BUILD MY CASE quickly if I were you," he said. "You're going to have to iustify NSA affiliation."
Charles Menghini, Pittsburg senior, said, "Since we've only had two meetings what do you expect us to have done? We haven't been able to do a thing."
"There's one thing I'd like to ask you, Jerry," he added. "Does this ASC move for disaffiliation possibly come from an outside group?"
"YAF (Young Americans for Freedom) is not backing this at all."
Palmer said. "It's simply that . . ."
Jerry Palmer Attacks
"I didn't say anything about YAF,
Jerry," replied Menghini.
"Yes, but you implied it," answered Palmer.
Thomas interposed again, asking that the Committee offer suggestions for projects to "justify the Committee."
Judi Jamison, Ottawa junior, and Miller pointed out that KU students know little about NSA and that the campus has not been well enough informed about the recent NSA Congress.
THE COMMITTEE unanimously passed a motion to the effect that Committee members will begin speaking to KU living groups in explanation of NSA.
Other motions passed included:
our motions passed included:
● NSA Congress report for the ASC.
- The showing of the film "Harvest of Shame"—McIlwaine dissenting.
- Another debate to be held on "Operation Abolition."
- Committee approval of NSA affiliation-McIwraine dissenting and

Value of Exam Is Questioned
By Karl Koch
A Daily Kansan poll indicates that members of the English department differ as to the necessity of the English Proficiency Examination.
SIX ENGLISH PROFESSORS were contacted last night to see how they felt about the proficiency exam.
"I have my doubts whether the English proficiency is worth keeping. I don't know that students in any other field are required to show their proficiency in a subject twice before graduation."
Two were in favor of it, one was against, two had reservations, and one didn't wish to comment.
ARVID SHULENBERGER, associate professor of English, had this to say:
W. P. ALBRECHT, professor of English. said:
"Yes, I'm in favor of it. And I think the way it's being administered now is very good."
When told of Prof. Shulenberger's "double jeopardy" theory, Prof. Albrecht said: "Throughout his life one is in jeopardy. He should be able to recall what he has learned."
"I think the English proficiency exam is a good thing. Everyone on the faculty would be for such a program, I would think."
GEORGE WORTH, assistant professor of English, said:
STUART LEVINE, assistant professor of English. said:
"There has to be something like the proficiency exam, but many people feel differently now that there is a common final in English. Writing has also improved very much in English 1, 2, 3, and 4. It might be that the English proficiency could be abolished over the years."
DENNIS QUINN, assistant professor of English, said:
"I have no objection to the proficiency exam itself, except I do feel that it is very difficult to set up in a manner where the judgment can be fair and consistent and where it can be handled administratively by the University staff. I don't think the exam unfair at all, but I do feel that it is very difficult to get any consistency, especially as the University gets bigger and bigger.
WHEN TOLD OF the rumor that the exam may be dropped, one professor suggested the story had "probably originated in the basement of Strong Hall."
"If the University feels that it can work out these administrative problems, it seems to be a worthwhile exam, but the problems are pretty formidable."
James Seaver, associate professor of history and director of the English proficiency exam, said the rumor was a surprise to him. Dropping the exam had never been discussed at an English proficiency committee meeting, he said.
JFK and Soviet Foreign Minister To Talk on Berlin
WASHINGTON — (UPI)— President Kennedy and Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko will meet here late Friday afternoon for a crucial talk that may determine whether negotiations over Berlin are possible.
The talk was set up as a result of encouraging progress made in three earlier discussions between Gromyko and Secretary of State Dean Rusk in New York last week.
ALTHOUGH WHITE HOUSE Press Secretary Pierre Salinger refused to discuss the subject matter of the Friday conference, it obviously concerned the Berlin negotiations, and the next steps to be taken by both sides.
Gromyko and Rusk had planned to meet a fourth time—in Washington—but Salinger said he did not know whether this would occur before the conference with Kennedy.
Salinger would not say whether the Soviet or American side initiated the White House meeting.
IT WAS UNDETERMINED whether Rusk would sit in on the meeting. Llewellyn Thompson, U.S. ambassador to Russia, has been ordered back to Washington for consultations and may be on hand for the session.
U. S. officials regard the meeting as crucial—but not in terms of whether concrete decisions will be reached. These are not expected.
MEANWHILE, Communist diplomats in London hinted today that Russia might postpone the signing of its threatened separate peace with East Germany if the West agreed to negotiate a speedy Berlin settlement.
Russia still intends to sign such a peace treaty but the move could be deferred if negotiations for a Berlin accord were held soon and not dragged out indefinitely.
OR, THEY SAID, Moscow might sign the treaty this year as threatened, with the understanding that it would be amended to include agreement on Berlin.
Integration Calm In Tennessee
MEMPHIS, Tenn.—(UPI)— Thirteen Negro first graders reported for their second day of class at four previously all-white schools today in this Deep South city. There were no crowds and no incidents.
The World Series was the main topic today among school officials, elated over the initial peacefulness of integration in Memphis. Authorities were keeping a wary eye for signs of a possible student boycott—but all appeared normal as classes resumed.
"IF WE CAN GET by today, maybe we can begin to relax," said city School Board President William Galbreath, who was more concerned about possible "wholesale withdrawals" of students than the "slim chance" of violence.
At least 17 white students were withdrawn from the four schools by their parents after news of the integration spread yesterday.
"I think if all of the parents would keep their children away from school, I don't believe the niggers (sic) would go," said Mrs. Herman McGregor, who took her son out of one of the schools.
SCHOOL AND CITY officials were elated that integration here initially had met with the same success experienced at Atlanta and Dallas during similar desegregation maneuvers earlier this fall.
Weather
Fair and mild today and Thursday. Not quite so cool tonight.
Highs today and Thursday middle 70s. Lows tonight 40s.
