    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.

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.
