Lets Keep the NSA
To the students of Kansas University:
During the first semester I was closely associated with the NSA as the Foreign Student Leadership Project director at KU. In this brief time I became aware of what this group composed of the top student leaders of the country could do for KU if only KU would be willing to accept their aid.
Operating within the political machinery of KU is the most potentially dynamic groups in the educational system today. I am referring to the United States National Students Association. Presently the committee to which the Committee on Committees of the ASC has referred the issue will decide the fate of the USNSA at KU. How any one sub-committee composed of a very few members would be able to make such a decision in the expected short time is beyond my comprehension. How anyone who is intellectually aware of the national student consensus could doubt the value of the USNSA to KU is even further beyond my comprehension.
The main problem the dissenting members of the ASC find with KU's affiliation with the NSA is that KU is conservative while the NSA is liberal. However, one important fact has been overlooked by the ASC. The National Executive Committee of the NSA is elected by the various regional officers who in turn are elected by the various member college NSA committees which are representative of their colleges. Hence, a generally accepted fact is spelled out — the majority of the college students throughout the nation (KU included) do have liberal views. Why KU's student leaders are afraid to express their views on anything more serious than parking problems or social conduct rests mainly on the apathy of the KU student. If the KU student would take a more active interest in what his "leaders" are saying what KU feels about the various important national and international problems (which are normally ignored) he would undoubtedly vehemently disagree with his "leaders."
The second main problem the ASC is considering is a ten year old idea that the NSA is a communist front organization or at least "a little pink." Ten years ago a small Northern college whose President, after his resignation, was proven to have been a Communist party member, joined the NSA. Since this discovery the Northern college has been thoroughly checked and approved and there have been ten changes of officers in the NSA. If the ASC believes that Dr. Ralph Bunche would become an adviser to a pink group, or that the Ford Foundation would donate over $500,000 to a pink group, or that the Field Foundation would donate $60,000 to a pink group to carry out a human-relations program on Southern campuses, and many more similar facts far too numerous to mention, then the ASC is blind.
I urge not only all interested students to take immediate action by letting your ASC representatives know of the value of the NSA, but also the student who considers himself only one unimportant piece of deadwood on a big campus. I am appealing to those apathetic students of the University of Kansas who do not even know who your ASC representative is let him know that you are interested in KU's future which is your future.

French Protest
We, the representatives of the French nation on this campus, wish to raise a strong and energetic protest against the infamous attack on our beloved country, which has been made, in a recent issue of this paper, by Mr. Augustine Kyei of Ghana. In a letter, which was dangerously emotional, Mr. A. Kyei attacked France for
Today, less than ever, the greatness of France cannot suffer such unjustifiable accusations. In spite of the terms used by Mr. N'Krhuma's supporter, which were unworthy of an educated gentleman—maybe he is not educated at all — we will restrain our Gallic "foria" and will try to put into practice this so well known British phlegm.
Therefore, out of respect for the president of Hilden Gibson International Coop., who put forward an extremely sensible point of view in his brilliant letter, we will not reply here to the war drum which has been beaten by Mr. Augustine Kyei.
Unwilling to destroy the high degree of peaceful cooperation which he has succeeded to maintain until now in his house, we'll try to agree on the terms of a peaceful coexistence with the African minority of Hilden Gibson.
However, we are prepared to discuss without heat any valuable document which can prove the ill-effects of the Sahara blast.

Tragic Intensity
In answer to Mr. Hoover about "the almost tragic intensity of Latin American problems":
The tradition in Latin America has been to maintain the privileges of a few and to ignore the large masses of the population.
In Mexico, the agrarian reform which started 20 years ago, has done much to improve the standard of living; however, there are still areas where people live like animals, sleep on the bare ground, with only a few boards for a roof. These people do not even have the elementary conveniences of our 20th century civilization.
In Guatemala, a similar situation exists. Last spring semester, a group of Guatemalan students visited KU and in a panel discussion at Westminster House they spoke of the plight of the lower classes in their country—of the low wages which don't permit the people to live as human beings.

In Cuba, a country of 6 million inhabitants, $20\%$ of the labor force is unemployed (in 1958 when only $6.7\%$ were unemployed in the United States, the government was concerned. You can compare both populations). About 500,000 of the peasants have an income of $15 monthly. The peasants represent $50\%$ of the Cuban population, and half of them are illiterate, the rest hardly know how to sign their names. $50\%$ of the families in the towns are living in inadequate houses.
These pictures of Latin American life presented above, demand an urgent solution. This, precisely, is the Latin America viewpoint. In Cuba, this social-economic situation is being solved principally by the Agrarian Reform Law. The Agrarian Reform Law provides for:
Students from other parts of Latin America can inform you of similar conditions in their countries.
1. Technical and scientific improvement of the production of sugar, tobacco, coffee and cattle.
2. Diversification and augmentation of crops for exportation.
of these two points will create:
3. New sources of employment.

If, after I depart from this vale, you ever remember me and have thought to please my ghost, forgive some sinner and wink at a homely girl. — Henry L. Mencken.
The students awarded Woodrow Wilson Fellows have not made definite plans for the next school year but do have definite schools in mind.
Three have chosen Stanford University. They are Cora L. Price, Lawrence, majoring in German and the humanities; Julia Stanford, Concordia, history; and Martin Dickinson, Kansas City, Mo., political science.
The exhibit is composed largely of photographs of well-known examples of contemporary architecture including the chapel of Eero Saarinen at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology; the Johnson Wax building in Racine, Wis., and Taliesin, also in Wis., by the late Frank Lloyd Wright.

"Architecture, Man's Space," an exhibit prepared by the American Institute of Architects, is on display in the third floor corridor of Marvin Hall.
The exhibit emphasizes an awareness of space as the essence of architecture and illustrates how various aspects of space are related to architecture.
Architects' Exhibit Includes 'Taliesin'
The exhibit will be taken down March 18.
Salina, will choose Yale or Johns Hopkins; Richard Speers, Houston, will choose University of Wisconsin or Yale, majoring in German language and literature; Larry Kevan, Kansas City, Kan., will choose UCLA, Berkeley, or Yale, in chemistry.
Roger Douglass, Mullinville, plans to get his master's degree in math.
The students send their transcripts to a particular school and await their reply. They will know definitely which school they will attend by April.
