(C on turned front page 1) NSA has also been encourag ing students to use the courts to obtain their rights, when other efforts (aii. Working with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), NSA has filed several briefs in behalf of students and has been providing advice to students on how to use the courts. • Educational Reform — Schwartz says the experimental colleges which are springing up all over the country provide a model for what can be done. There are five of the people who helped start San Francisco State’s highly regarded experi mental college on the NSA staff. One of their jobs is to find out which are the best experimental colleges and have available greater information on them. Schwartz says NSA has had many requests from stu dents for advice on how to re form education, requests which it can’t always fill because it lacks funds and staff. In order to get those re sources, the education staff is asking several foundations to fund a “center for educational reform” to begin with a pilot program this spring and full operation next fall. One of its goals will be to develop new curriculum programs. One NSA staff member, Karen Duncan, has already developed one which would give credit to students for community action work in the ghettoes. Schwartz says to use course and teacher evaluation as the first effort to develop “hard issues” in educational reform. A program funded by the U.S. Office of Education and run by NSA’s Greg Movsesyan, is aid ing 10 pilot campuses in de veloping course evaluation pro grams. • Responding to issues — NSA, working with three other student groups and 15 student body presidents, has filed a suit asking for an injunction to halt draft boards from follow ing Hershey's recommendation that they draft anti-war pro r testers as soon as possible. The suit is expected to come to trial shortly. The other two issues which NSA will center on are drugs and Vietnam. NSA has publish ed a book on drugs and ran a major drug conference last year. Schwartz says proudly that stu dents at Stony Brook, after the arrest of 33 on marijuana charges, called the ACLU first for legal help, then NSA. • International — Relevant NSA action on another issue, Vietnam, is tied up in the whole effort to develop an entirely new international program. When the CIA funding was end ed, there was no money for in ternational programs. This fall NSA’s international staff has so far been supported wholly by internal funds such as overhead from other grants and membership dues. The staff totals four, compared to as many as 15 in the old CIA days. International Affairs vice president Dan McIntosh wants to run an entirely different kind of program than NSA had be fore—and not just because the old programs were funded by the CIA. “We want to have pro grams that deal with students’ concerns over foreign policy,” he says. “We don’t want to just work with international student groups like NSA did before. And we don’t want to run lead ership workshops.” Unfortun ately, those are the kind of pro grams that are easier to fund. “Foundations would rather give you money to send a student to a meeting in some other coun try,” McIntosh says, “which might be fine for that person, but doesn’t have much rele vance for American students.” What McIntosh would like to do is run a series of seminars for students on American for eign policy problems. One goal of such seminars would be to develop ways of improving uni versities’ international cur ricula. “Students want programs with potential influence,” he says. “Changing university cur ricula seems to me one place where students might have an impact on foreign policy,” he adds, “since we obviously have to change the way Americans look at the world.” Such an impact would also meet the NSA goal of having its inter national activities relate to do mestic efforts such as educa tional reform.
