,ftpr writing last week about
work of the North State
! dent Government Association,
T now find it necessary to voice
lion on a second student gov-
Iment association which is of
Irest to many St. Andrews
'dents. This organization is the
National Student Association -
Membership in the N.S.A. has
been proposed for St. Andrews,
and the question was sent to the
Senate for consideration. After
ftiree weeks, the Senate Com
mittee on Student WeMare re-
„orted in favor of submitting
the issue to the student body
for a referendum. How much
study was actually done on this
organizaUon is hard to say. One
member of the Welfare Com
mittee said that that body had
met only once in the three week
period to discuss the N. S. A.
When the committee report
came to the floor of the last
meeting of the 1962-63 Senate
the committee was not certain
of the dues to the national or
ganization.
V^Tiat Does N.S.A. Stand For?
After listening to the report of
the Welfare Committee I de
cided to do some further check
ing into what the N. S. A. stands
for, and what the organization
can contribute to St. Andrews.
Services such as reduced
prices on certain books and dis
cussion between member schools
on governmental and social prob
lems are among the offerings
of the N. S. A. To this extent
it is very similar to the N. S. S.
G. A., but this is where simi
larity ends. The N. S. A. has
become a center of radical lib
eralism in American coUeges to
day. When the association first
began it ran into trouble as
many of its key members were
associated with the Communist
Party. Aifter something resemb
ling an inter-organization purge
the N.S.A. claimed that neither
they nor any of their members
were connected in any way with
Communism.
Forgetting this shaky past,
let us look at the association
today and some of the reso
lutions that have come out of
its recent convention:
1. Defense of Japanese stu
dents rioting against President
Eisenhower.
2. Praise for Fidel Castro’s
educational “reforms.”
3. Recommendation that the
House Committee on Un-Ameri
can Activities be abolished.
4. Opposition to loyalty oaths
tor teachers and students re
ceiving (federal loans.
The above measures— and
there are others — soudn like
they cover Irom “A to Z” the
typical Irft wing liberal vocab-
ulary.
REACTIONS
What have been the reactions
to these measures taken by
the N.S.A.? More than 300,000
students have voted against
joining the N.S.A. or for drop
ping out of the organization
during the last two years.
Among the schools voting
against N.S.A. were Ohio State,
where the national convention
was held in ’62, one month la
ter students voted their school
out of the organization; the
University of Texas, where on
March 28 1963, students voted
2002 to 1453 to withdraw. Like
wise, Indiana University stu
dents voted 4071 to 2526 to
withdraw i. t s membership
These colleges and universities
also voted against N.S.A.;
Northwestern University, Uni
versity of Oklahoma, Universi
ty of Virginia, Vandei'bilt Un
iversity, Purdue University,
Washington and Lee, Lynch
burg College, American Univers
ity (once known as the father
land of student liberalism), and
dozens of others. All toll 46
colleges and universities have
withdrawn from N.S.A. since
1961. It now represents less
than one fifth of the nation’s
colleges and universities.
What can St. Andrews gain
from this dying association?
Thare appears to be little.
The true value of any student
organization is found in its abil
ity to help the students. The N.
S. S. G. A. is our best bet for
a working student association,
and we should take an active
part in it. We should not put ad
ditional money and give our en
dorsement as a part of the rad
icalism and the radical resolu
tions of the N. S. A.
A verage Pay
Of Graduates
Census statisticians under-
score the increasing correlation
between income and education.
For example, median income for
families headed by college de
gree holders is $9,300 — neai-Iy
tvvo-thlrds higher than the aver
age. This factor is conspicuous
at all levels of education — the
more schooling, the more pay.
Here’s the way the education
influence works: Median income
for persons with less than eight
years of school is $2,948. For
eight years, i.e., elementary
school education, income jumps
to $4,868. For one to three years
Of high school, $4,853. For com
plete high schooiling, it’s $5,552.
College work adds even more.
One to three years of college ed
ucation brings a median income
level of $6,022. Four years of
college raises the level to $7,-
586. For five or more college
jears, income is $7,875. Note:
more than 5 per cent of the in
dividuals receiving five years
or more of coUege earn in ex
cess of $10,000. Only 0.2 per
cent of those with no education
beyond high school pass the
$10,000 more in earnings.
