Page Four NSA Congress—Lari lll , One of the maior problems} that currently faces the Unitcd‘ States National Student ASSOCiar tion is the lack of contact, co-op. eration, and cowrdinallon be. tween the member college and the region, and more serious, be“ tween the region and nationall office. The problem is especially acute in the IowarNcbI‘aska region, The reasons are varied: (1) pasli officers have been very inactive and uninterested in. the region‘s progress, and (2) the region it, self lacks interest and activities, due to the number and type ol schools affiliated with USNSA. For the 1961762 school year a; new type of regional program rel, being initiated by the member‘ schools of the IcowEl-I\Iel)l"dska~ Region eniitled “Operation Ops pol‘tuniliy." Originally it was planned as an Iowa—centered re-‘ search program that would study the question: Why do 50 per centl, of the young men and women bee] tween the ages of 18 and 35 leave the state of Iowa. This program has, ,already received a grant from the Iowa Development Commission to cover the costs‘ of conducting such a study and also the holding of a regional meeting concerning the finding. of the, study. However, Grinnell’s part in the program is unique. Due to the fact that Grinncll and Drake University have large out of state populations, the program has been broadened to provide Grinnell with that chance to conduct local investi» gation on problems that con- cern the entire nation. Orinnell may choose to inves— tigate racial discrimination Ite- cent events have indicated that such discrimination is not unique_ to the South, Grinnell wouldl conduct a study to\disco\ler~ii discrimination does exist in eats mg places, barber shops, sleepil ing facilities, etc., in Iowa. ‘ In addition, the study of racial‘ discrimination in Iowa would also be of interest to the state government, At the present time there is a law that declares raciall discrimination unlawful in the state of Iowa. The commission that is set up‘ to carry out this law is under- , staffed and consequently can conduct investigation in only the larger cities. It is readily evi— dent that a report concerningl discrimination in the smaller; towns of the state would be read with great interest by the Come, mission, The results of the study wouldl be included in the regional re— port and would also serve as re— search information for commit tees on racial discrimination at the national congress of USNSA, Two very important aspects o the program. must be stressed First, the choice of topics to study is unlimited. Examples in-i elude the migrant farm labor problem in Iowa. the situation concerning public housing and the previously mentioned racial discrimination question. The second aspect of the pro- gram is that it is designed to SCARLET AND BLACK There will be a mccting of all include all “moans migrated, seniors intercstcd inprofessional The program is not limited to graduate study in ARH.

Accessprie PPESIONS Felluw freshmen: The president of this freshmen class will be con— fronted with two important responsibil' ies. First, he will represent the entire class in the Grinnell student Senate, and second, he will have the task of stifrtulat- ing the development of class productivity and unity\ Every candidate, as a potential officerWhas a re— sponsibility to familiarize himself with the office and the campus issues with which he will be required to deal. This I have attempted to do by exploring the , issues now before the senate and by discussing them with the s. G, A. president and a number of senators. Thus, I feel prepared to represent our class in a sena— torial capacity. _ _ Each of us must ask himself certain questions con< ccrning class productivity and unity-What can we do for the college?.What can Grinnell do for us? What can we do for ourselves? ' ' ' It is traditional and appropriate that each freshman class undertake a. project which will load toward _an adequate answer to these questions, In a discussion with an upperclassman who has organized a freshman class project (in this case to raise money to bring a foreign student to Grinnell), I found that far too often a proiect such as this results in an accumulation of work on a few individuals, rather than being truly the response of the entire class. Obviously, this freshman proicct needs a fresh outlook, _ _ ‘ Soon the student Senate will be discussing the my stitution of a program toward the development of an better place to begin than with the incoming freshman “honor code" system at Grinnell. I feel that there is no class. This would be a worthwhile and stimulating class project, and would benefit the college, the class, and each of us as individuals. . - The freshman orientation program has been the -siibject of much criticism and discussion in many cir— cles. Some of the aspects which require detailed study this year by all of us, especially by the leaders of the freshman class, are: - 1. Tire test required of women students upon cam- pletioii of the program. . _ The notable lack of freshman representation _ especially for the men students _ in the Stun dcnt Senate. 3. The rather high schoolish organization and pre- sentation of orientation lectures, ‘ I have definite suggestions to improve this program, one of which is specifically designed to give freshman more signifignnce in student government. I plan to pre— sent these programs at the mass meeting- Sunday‘ eve— iiin . gEvery freshman should attend this meeting and _ consider carefully the platform of every candidate so that a wise choice can he made. This is your responsi— hility. Z. Sincerely, ‘ Jack Hurwitz Candidate {or freshman class president l l l l l . l l l
