Each commission, in. turn, is divided into sub-commissions which con 101; rw.nnlo each. Discuss- ions are held in the subconv missions, and ther is a free ex change of ideas from the differ ent schools represented. From the subcemmissions originate new and revised policy. Resolutions to be presented on the floor of the plenary sessions must go through the commission first. Here is decided which resolutions are important enough offer be fore the plenary sessions. This process keeps the amount of work to be done in the plenam-s at a reasonable level. T'ae subcommissions met Wed nesday. Thursday, Friday. Satur day, and Sunday. There were al so some commission sessions meeting simultaneously on Sat urday and Sunday. All commiss ions met on Monday. Aside from the commissions and subcommissioiis. there were also business plenary sessions every day. as well as regional caucuses. On Wednesday. August 21st. the Honorable T.. Mennon ( Soapy 1 Williams-. Cove: nor of the State of Michigan .-.puke to the delegates in plenary session. The California - Nevada Hawaii region was kind enough to pu' srap flakes in several of the many beautiful fountains on campus near the auditorium as a wclmmo. He viewed this as :n ingenious way to say hello, to say the least. His talk consisted of a hearty welcome to the USNSA. which was relatively brief and to the point. Then he expounded upon the merits of the State of Michigan for the remainder of the time. He had an excellent sense of humor however, so the talk was not as boring as one would suppose. His braggadacio was without peer. On Friday, August 23rd, Ruth Geri Hsgy, creator and moderator of the College News Conference, spoke to us briefly about a con ference she had just finished with John Foster Dulles, about her job as Chairman of the USNSA Finan cial Advisory Board, and about our responsibility as delegates. Then he introduced Senator Hu bert Humphrey of Minnesota who spoke at length extemporaneous ly (as senators are prone to do at times). Much of his speech was concerned with his efforts as a senator to inquire, to speak, and to leaislate to the best of his abil ity, but mainly the new Civil Riqhts Bill which he had further ed. Presidents' Pnnquet was held. honoring all the past officers, but particularly the presidents: Nine were present altogether, two of which were former Carolina stu dents. They xvere Al Lowenstein lieve, for after four hours of words, most of the delegates were asleep mentally if not physically. The delegates were in stitches for 35 minutes as he brought the program to its fin ish. Again, for those of you who do not know him, he most defin itely is not the sophisticated and poised picture that you might paint, but instead he is. quite earthy and unconventional, which no doubt are the reasons for his popularity. Entertainment was provided at the banquet by the famous folk-singer, Odetta, who kept the audience wide-eyed daring her sexeral selections. . On Monday afternoon John Cogley. former editor of the Com . monwoal. spoke to the delegates in plenary session on the topic long and often arduous, there were some interesting sidelights to the Congress. The demonstra tions by the different regions were usually amusing, some even laugh proviking. None of the sessions started on time, so to amuse themselves, as, well -a$,,the other delegates, different groups would sing, perform stunt and skits. . .. r Parties of one sort or anpther were given each morning fter the sessions, were over. These were usually over by 3 a. m. Then most everyone had breakfast. The Carolinas - Virginia .region did itself proud in this respect by initiating a series of,. parties at the American Legion Hut which were successful enough so that they were held for several nights in succession. Also, on A Perspectus Of The Publications N. C. State Technician: I Said, 'How Dare You Have Weapons like TliatT" . ! ' X. yrji i&&h ' .

Lowenstein. lor those ol you who don't know him. was prob ably the most popular personali ty of the Congress. Every time he had occasion to speak, regard less of how- bored the delegates were, their ears pricked up and everyone listened intently.. He was picked deliberately to be the last speaker at the banquet for his oratorical prowess we' be- 'Treedcni." Mr. Cogley is cur rently a member of the Fund for the Republic. The agendas for the final plenary sessions were so large that recess was not called until well alter 1 a.m. It was only alter this that the regional cau cuses could convene. Friday, August 20th, the last day of the Congress, was reserved for the election of officers for the coming year. Sidelights On The Congress Even though the hours xvere the next to last evening our reg ion rented the Hut and invited the whole Congress to be its guests, which it did. (The money came out of each individual's pocket, to clear up any miscon ceptions as to how the delega tions' money was spent.) The work, the fun, the ex change of ideas, and fellowship all integral parts of the NSA Con gress. Those who were -fortunate enough to attend will never for get the experience. ' For the' past several years there has been much controversy each fall. about tickets to football games. Each year. -hasty plan is drawn up and announced to' the students about mid-season. It seems that this is a very fine example of very poor planning. There is one month left in the present school year. The problem of date tickets and tickets in general should be ironed out now, rather than next year, the students have a right to know before Vnext' year at registration whether they are going to have tickets, ticket books, or Identification cards to get into the State-Carolina game which is the very next day after registration. The Student Government in the past several weeks has recommended both that students have identification cards (instead of ticket books) next year and that date tickets he available for $1.00. The Athletic Council must now make a decision on these recommendations. It seems that it is the duty of the Athletic Council to meet immediately and make some decision on both of these matters. Of course, the Council could xvait and hold its next meeting after school is out and leave the students ' uninformed on any decisions until next year. We hope, however, that they will not follow such a course. Many students now have the opinion that SUK) date tickets are definite and that they are a "sure thing'; for next year. This is not the case, however. One "dollar date tickets are not definite ... in fact. .we have heard that the Chancellor has said that ther-" is very little chance, if any at all, that we will have them- (And if the William & Mary game is sold to the Shriners, how much chance is there of "getting a ticket for one dollar to that game? ) Those who are opposed to the $1.00 date tickets say it is financially impossible. They point to the fact that nearly one-half the Stadium would be filled with people xvho were paying less than a third of xvhat the tickets could be sold for to other, and say that just last year the football team went S18.000 in debt. As for the identification cards, there us the problem of getting them ready-xuth photographs while the student is registering . . . or at least b the football game the next day. Admittedly, the Athletic Council has two prob- ' lems here. Not Mn spite- of the problem,- butx, cause' of : them do Wfi .request thai , the ; Coup Pt as soon as possible. The problems should be re soived and the! student' body should be informed before school iVout of any decisions made. The1 Miami Hurricane: That college students have a monopoly on foolishness Is a world-renowned fact. Any mature adult will readily tell you about the idiocy ot goldfish-eating, panty raids and the like. Is this such a monopoly, however? A local pap er recently featured an article about a fellow who wanted to set a world record for staying under water We realize, of course, the importance of stay-in- underwater as far as fish are concerned, but asule from the possible theory of colonizing the bottom of the ocean, why humans? AnothT favorite pastime of non-college .stu dents used to be flagpole-sitting. The logic behind this inane endeavor also escapes us. TossibW a more accurate study of the solar system may be ob tained if one is fifty feet closer to stars .sexeral billion light years away. Add to this the adult carousel riders, peoph who push p:anufs with their nose, ad infinitum, and xvhat have we got? Merely the knowledge that no particular group can say that they are less fool ish than another. Or more. AI.YS VOOP.HKKS UII.L KINC At News Kditor PATSY M1IJ.KK I'.usmes Ir.

Support ers of the repeal movement predict that thLs year's try will fail as have others before it. It is unfort unate that Virginia, xvhich is hailed as the cradle of democracy, should tolerate so undemocratic an instrument as the poll tax. Two theories are advanced explaining the pur pose of Virginia's poll tax. One states that it i.- t. keep Negroes and poor whites away from the ba!lt box. The other says that.it is to kep the xote small so that carefully organized groups, which hje paid their taxes, can wield greater power in gen eral elections. Both are repugnant to the most bxsic principles of democracy. Probably the single argument in favor of tln tax which could approach validity is that its pax ment Ls within the means of all the annual rate is, only; $1.50. It is not-the amount which holds down Virginia's vote, it is the trouble of paying it. Citi zens -who live in one place and pay state property taxes can pay the poll tax at the same time, but per sons who move around and have no holdings upon which to pay a property tax must shew xvhat amounts to great initiative to get their poll tax paid. It usually requires a special trip to city hall for reg istration. With complications like this in the path of our voting privilege, it is easy to understand how Virginia stands fifth from the bottom of all states in percentages of eligible voters casting bal lots. It is a disgrace to our state. Text books of this University teach us that a democratic principle just as important to us a Ma joity Ruse is Regard for Minority Interests. This second principle seems to have flown to the four winds in recent years, not only in the case of the poll tax but also as it concerns the great issue of racial segregation facing us today. Perhaps facts such as these should be made plainer to the mem bers of the General Assembly whose continued support of the poll tax seems to perpetuate its existence in Virginia law. 1 V
