DECLARATION:
USNSA opposes the Cunning
ham Amendment on the grounds
that such an attempt to restrict
access to information would seri
ously hamper the intellectual
activity of many students. USNSA
supports the Kennedy Adminis
tration's refusal to enforce earl
ier similar postal bans and con
demns all legislative action de
signed to impose such a regula
tion. MANDATE:
The 15th National Student Con
gress directs the National Affairs
Vice President to" support the
Kennedy Administration's oppo
sition to such restrictions and to
inform all members of Congress
of USNSA's stand urging the de
letion of the Cunningham Amend
ment from the Postal Revision
Act of 1961.

Fact: There are serious de
ficiences in areas of higher edu
cation. Lack of sufficient funds
prevent qualified students from
attending colleges and univer
sities. Present academic facili
ties are inadequate for the needs
of rapidly growing student enroll
ments. College enrollments will near
ly double, requiring approximate
ly twice as many facilites to
serve nearly 7 million students
by 1970. (Pres. Kennedy, 1962)
Nearly 22 billion for college
facilities will have to be expand
Algeria
On July 3, 1962, after almost
eight years of a revolution for
national independence in which
the Union Generale des Etudi
ants Musulmans Algeriens (U
hGEMA).,- actively particinated.
Algeria gained its independence.
In 1958 UGEMA was declared
illegal in France and Algerian
students could no longer be of
officially represented there.
In past years, USNSA has
provided material and scholar
ship aid to UGEMA and express
ed its full solidarity with the
valiant struggle of the Algerian
students. During the period of
the Algerian War, USNSA called
upon the US Government to re
examine its policies toward the
conflict and to take all possible
measures to , end it, urged ne

and Algerian Provisional Govern
Critics Of
NSA President Ed Garvey open
ed the 15th National Student Con
gress on August 19 with a blast
at Association critics of the "ex
treme left and right," and a
warning that Congress resolutions
must be more "explicit" and
"articulate."
Garvey told the almost 1,000
students that the "attacks which
regularly descend upon us" were
schizophrenic.
"Last month at the Internation
al Student Conference we were
denounced by some national
unions of students as neo-fascist
imperialists .... . The irrelevant
reactionaries on the other end
of the spectrum have been work
ing for our demise from the
start," said the former Univer
sity of Wisconsin student
Garvey stressed that the As
sociation had now "reached a
stage where the mere adoption of
resolutions is simply not enough...
"Now you can no longer talk
about an Jssue as an abstract con- .
"sIHeratibn which someDodjT ought
to do something about some day.
Now you must decide the full
measure of the Association's re
sponse to every item brought
before you."
Garvey also noted that "there

ed during the 1960's in order to
accommodate increasing enroll
ments. Even with increased con
tributions from State, local, and
private sources, a gap of $2.9
billion between needs and ex
penditures is anticipated by 1965,
and a gap of $5.2 billion by 1970.
(Office of Education, 1962)
In June, 1961, over 66,670 stu

upper 30 per cent of their class
failed to go to college principal

, On the eve of the 5th Con
gress of UGEMA, the first to be
held on Algerian soil, the 15th
jNational Student Congress of
USNSA rejoices with UGEMA
ever the freedom of Algeria
from colonial rule. USNSA con
gratulates the Algerian students
on the courageous role they play
ed, often at great risk, in con
tributing to the struggle for
independence waged by the Al
gerian people. USNSA also
congratulates UGEMA on its
active participation in further

of the Algerian people.
During the course of its
struggle, UGEMA also gained

is no issue this year strong
enough to dominate the entire
Congress," as others had been
dominated in the past. No one
issue or set of issues had an
overpreponderant effect, although
the debate over nuclear testing
took the most plenary time.
North Carolina was represented
at the National Student Congress
at Ohio State by more than its
6 delegates and 5 alternates.
Al Lowenstein, 1949 Carolina
graduate, was the speaker at the
Past President's Banquet. Lowen
stein, author of BRUTAL MAN
DATE, was NSA president in
1950-51.
Joel Fleischmann, legal advisor
to Gov. Terry Sanford, was an
observer at the Congress. Nation
al Democratic Committee mem
ber Jim Hunt was present for the
Young Democrats; he is a former
Chapel Hill law student. Hank
Patterson's wife, Jane, was a
member of the NSA staff.
One of jonly two .messages of,
greeting to the Congress from a
Southern governor came from
Sanford of North Carolina. Other
greetings came from University
President William C. Friday and
Congressman L. H. Fountain, of
the N. C. second district.

per cent since 1950 exceeds $1,

one half of all American fami
lies have annual incomes below

Since May 9, 1962, there has
been in the House-Senate Con
ference Committee, Bill HR-8900.
The Senate version of this bill

and expansion of academic fa

Support
as a union of great courage and
as a constructive force in the
evolution of the International
Student Conference. The 15th
National Student Congress wishes
UGEAIA the greatest success in
its future work within an in
dependent Algeria and is confi
dent that UGEMA will play a
vital role in the efforts of free
Algerian citizens to build a
dynamic new nation, to further
North African cooperation, and
to express to those who are
still under colonial rule the on
going commitment of the Al
gerian people to the ideals of
freedom and justice. The 15th
National Student Congress wishes
UGEMA the greatest success
in these important tasks.
MANDATE:
Recognizing that the devas
tation of eight years of war
fare is a challenge to the Alger
ian students who are now turn
ing their energies to the rapid
economic and social develop
ment of their country, realizing
ing that UGEMA is responding
to this challenge, and in the
conviction that the close coopera
tion and understandng which
has marked UGEMA-USNSA Re
lations in the past should con
tinue to grow, the 15th Nation
al Student Congress mandates
the International Affairs Vice
President to:
Cooperate with the Coordinat
ing Secretariat of the Interna
tional Student Conference in se
curing and administering schol
arships and travel grants for
Algerian students.
Continue to help Algerian stu
dents to obtain scholarships for
higher education in the United
States.

grants of $1,000 each. These pro
grams would be administered
by state commissions.
Declaration: USNSA believes
that in providing aid to higher
education the Federal Govern
ment should adhere to the fol
lowing principles:
Aid should be made avail
able to all accredited institu
tions which demonstrate need and
which provide a plan for the dis
tribution of such aid. .
Aid should not be made avail
able to an institution of higher
education which discriminates ia
its admission or housing policies
on - the- -basis of race, ereed,
color, national origin, or politi
cal belief.
Aid should not be provided in
cases where it will be used pri
marily for sectarian instruction
or for religious worship.
Provision should be made to
insure that institutions receiv
ing aid continue their efforts to
obtain: aid irom'tmiitie
tal sources.
In order to provide assistance
to qualified students who are
unable to secure or continue a
college education because of
financial reasons, the Federal
Government should establish a
program of grants to be used
for scholarship and loan pro
grams for students. Such aid
should be awarded entirely on
the bases of the student's in
tellectual ability and need. In
all federally supported programs
no person should be denied the
opportunity of obtaining schol
arships and loans because of
his race, creed, color, national
origin or political belief.
Action: USNSA urges that
delegations represented at the
15th National Student Congress
send telegrams to members of
the Senate-House Conference
Committee supporting the pass
age of the Senate version of the
proposed College Academic Fa
cilities and Scholarship Act.
USNSA expresses its hope that
( the U. S. Congress will, in the
act and in future legislation, pro
vide for federal assistance to
higher education in order to in
crease opportunities for quali
fied students.
Mandate: The 15th National
Student Congress mandates the
National Affairs Vice President
to send telegrams immediately
to each member of the Conferen
ce Committee urging passage of

facilities provisions of the Sen-

Urged In Rights
The Constitution of the United
States clearly imposes Federal
responsibility to equal protection
of the law. Moreover, the Feder
al Government is extensively and
intimately involved in the fields
of education, employment, hous
ing, and urban affairs: and the
laws and polities applicable to its
programs in these fields neces
sarily affect equality of oppor
tunity. USNSA is convinced that
the major efforts to assure civil
rights must be made by private
individuals and groups, and by
local and state government; but
the Federal Government has a
heavy obligation as well. While
the government has assumed
some leadership, it has not as
sumed full responsibility equality
of opportunity and equal protec
tion under the law. The following
situations exist:

Affairs Vice President is fur
ther mandated to send copies of
this resolution to all members
of the United States Congress
and other appropriate govern
ment officials, and to actively
work for the establishment of a
federal program to provide
funds to colleges and universities
for academic facilities and for
a federal program of student

nation's progress in removing the
stulifying effects of segregation
in the public elementary and sec
ondary schools is slow indeed."
Desegregation Time Limit The
Commission recommended that
"Congressional specification of a
time limit on the making and im
plementation of plans would re
move all doubt as to the duty
of school boards and make clear
that enforcement of the com
mands of the Constitution is the
concern not only of the judiciary,
but of every branch of gowrn
ment." Such action has not been
taken.
Federal Aid to Segregated
Schools '"Federal funds in sup
port of educational programs are
granted to public school systems
which operate schools in a man
ner that denies pupils equal pro
tection of the law on the grounds
of race, color, or national origin.
Denial of such aid would recog
nize the efforts of some states to
bring the operation of their se n ml
systems into compliance with
Constitutional requirements, and
should spur other states to fol
low the same path. The Ilou-e
Education and Labor Committee
approved bill IIR. 1 1 5."9 which
would reduce the Federal aid now
available to segregated land
grant colleges. Congress has the
power to do the same with aid
to secondary and primary schools.
In neither case, however, has ap
propriate legislation been passed.
Federal Aid to Impacted Areas
"Many dependents of military
personnel assigned to duty in
Southern states have had to at
tend racially segregated public
schools." The House Education
and Labor Committee approved
a bill HR. 10056 that would cut off
federal impacted area school aid
from segregated school districts.
This bill, however, has not been
enacted into law.
