USNSA-Aims and Goals Purposes and Structures
Bv Art Miller
Throughout the world there are organized student groups designed to represent the students in their respective countries. In the United States the National Student Association (NSA) fills this role.
Annually the NSA holds a national congress. Representatives from nearly 400 campuses representing over 1 million students gather to discuss the problems affecting students.
For the past 14 years the U.S. National Student Association has been the voice of American students heard around the world. USNSA has been the representative at meetings of international student organizations.
In its "Codification of Policy," the National Student Association explains that, "The role of the student involves a commitment to an educational process that extends beyond classroom training. It involves the attainment of knowledge and the development of skills necessary for the responsible participation in the affairs of government and society on all levels—campus, community, state, national, international."
PRES1DENT KENNEDY expressed his admiration for the NSA in a letter to the 14th National Student Association Congress. He said, "The record of the National Student Association in matters of campus, national and international concern is well known, and one of which all of you can be proud."

STRUCTURALLY, THE executive branch of the organization is known as the National Executive Committee (NEC). This body is composed of the 21 regional chairmen and vice chairmen, as well as the annually elected officers.
One of the functions of the NEC is to draw up the temporary agenda for each yearly congress. It also serves as an examining board for proposed constitutional changes.
The supreme body of the NSA is the congress itself. The most important legislation and proposed constitutional amendments come before each congress.
All policy and adopted constitutional changes are printed in an annual publication called the NSA "Codification of Policy."
THROUGHOUT THE year the NSA national officers are in contact with local campuses. It is their job to keep member schools informed
Each member school usually has an active NSA committee which meets to discuss current problems affecting students. Many of the localized committees help bring speakers and other educational programs to their campuses.

Stage Aspirants Show Talent For University Theatre Plays
"Please fill out a talent card and take the reading sheets with you as you go in," the clerk said. Students approached the table and reached for a talent card nervously.
"You wanted a female, didn't you?," a girl in pink asked, rising from her seat.
"Yes," a director answered. The student walked forward to play Norah in "Auntie Mame" with the group of six who were reading with her.
Directors of the five plays University Theatre will present this season sat in the audience noting the performance of the readers. Occasionally, they called some of them back to do another scene.
The readings continued. Two students near the back of the hall conferred after each scene. The expression on their faces indicated whether they liked the reading or
AKRON, Ohio — (UPI) — Cement can now float through the air with ease, as a result of a new type of hose developed by B. F. Goodrich Industrial Products Co.
Riding on Air
The cement, in dry bulk form, travels through the hose from tank trucks to storage silos at mixing plants. A truck carrying a full load of 800 cubic feet can discharge it through the hose in less than 30 minutes.
not. When one student from their group got up to read, they seemed to listen more closely.
About seventy five people filled the hall and each waited his turn. Some people left after forty five minutes of reading, but others took their places. Outside the hall, students spoke of the readings, the courses they were taking and friends in general. It was old-hat to them, but it was still exciting—still KU theatre.

For motorist Frances Hopkins, 47. it was her first collision with a rocket plane.

Career Cues
TIERCELET, France — (UPI) — Waving a revolver, a masked man broke into a home shouting, "I'm hungry. Give me something to eat." The housewife gave him a hunk of bread. After firing two shots into the ground, the man left quietly.
"Cure for job boredom: I made my favorite pastime my career!"
Richard Bertram, President
Bertram Yacht Co., Division of Nautec Corp.
"When you stop to think what percent of our total waking hours is spent bread-winning, you realize how tragic it is for any man to work at an occupation he doesn't enjoy. Besides frittering away life, it reduces chances of success to just about zero. I know... because it almost happened to me!
After college, I did what I thought was expected of me and joined a solid, Manhattan-based insurance firm. I soon found office routine wasn't for me. I lived only for
lunch hour when I could walk to the Battery and mentally sail with the ships that stood out in the Narrows . . . and for the summer weekends when I could go sailing. Fortunately, the company I worked for is one of the leading insurers of yachts and after two years I was transferred to their Yacht Underwriting Department. Enjoyment and interest in my work improved immediately 100%.
After World War II, I started my own yacht brokerage firm and yacht insurance agency in Miami, combining my marine insurance background with an even closer relationship with boats.
The moral's obvious. You have an odds-on chance for success and happiness working at what you enjoy most — what comes naturally! And if it's not just frivolous, your life's work could well be what you now consider just a pastime. It's certainly worth thinking about, anyway!"
My only problem ever since has been a feeling of guilt that my work was too easy. I love boats and boating people. That affection has paid me rewards way beyond the financial security it has also provided.
And to make any time pass more enjoyably...
