NSA Officer Discusses Student Government By Frank Schaefers Emerald Staff Writer Stanley Glass, president of the National Students Association, (NSA), was guest speaker at the district convention of the NSA held Wednesday in Portland. Glass was on campus Tuesday to discuss the NSA with mem bers of the ASUO senate. In his Portland speech Glass wondered if some student lead ers really know what their offi cial duties are. “It isn’t,” he said, "the function of the student leader to solve the problems of the student body and then sit back and rest.” Let Students Know “The student leader must let the students know just what problems are arising and just how they are being solved,” he said. Glass wondered if some stu dent leaders really know what their official duties are, if they just have the titles and don’t know what to do. Too many students have the idea that student government is strictly an extra-curricular ac tivity, but actually it is as much a part of college training as classes are, he said. Depressing Thing "Student government must be a depressing thing for those par ticipating in it," he said. The reason for this is that a good student leader sees so much to be done and he is unable to do it all. This feeling of inability causes depression and sometimes even a feeling of uselessness, he said. Delegates to the convention split into three groups, to dis cuss the student leader, the re lationship of student government to other campus organizations and student government and self-discipline. Potential Misspd In the first group it was de cided that many potential stu dent leaders come to school who are completely missed, and that the time to start developing lead ers is in their freshman year. In the second group it was de cided that the student govern ment should provide funds for the operation of student organ izations, and that it is the duty of the government to oversee the use of these funds to see that they are used for the good of the whole student body. On the other hand it is the duty of the organizations to abide by any legislation passed by the governmental body.

UT Holds Play Tryouts Tryouts for the University theatre production, “Fancy Meet ing You Again,” will be held in Villard 102, at 4 and 7:30 p.m. Tuesday. F. J. Hunter, assistant profes sor of speceh, will direct the play which will be presented win ter term. Additional tryouts for the pro duction, written by George F. Kaufman, will be announced after Thanksgiving. Under the Weather Kerstin Ahlstrand and Ronald Peterson stayed in the infirmary Sunday for medical attention. This group also Drougnt up the idea that most student elec- [ | tions are run more as a popu-! larity race and that not enough emphasis is placed on actual issues. The last group decided that there should be some type of stu dent discipline because there is a certain responsibility to the parents who send their children to the institution. and because there has to be from a public re lations standpoint. They decided that there are two distinct types of rules, those i which are set rules in black and i white, and those which might I be called norms or convention. Student Participation It was brought up that if stu : dents participated in the actual formation of these rules they might be more inclined to obey them. It was decided that the student honor system is both beneficial and educational. One point offered was that one of the failings of such a system finds people with with different fi nancial backgrounds, religious beliefs, and different social back grounds thrown together, which creates a problem of setting up a common norm of behavior.
