The National Student Association frames panel discussions on discrimination and academic freedom. It urges surveys of educational opportunity across regions and advocates removing barriers to admission while preserving free speech and student rights.
Campus groups allied with NSA plan campaigns to inform students and authorities about NSA activities. The Seven College Conference will hold additional sessions at Mt Holyoke on the weekend of April 9-11, 1948. The Saturday meeting was chaired by Bernard delegate Helen Pond with Lois Boochever recording minutes.
The NSA's 750 delegates representing about 1.1 million students from 351 colleges hailed the birth of the national association. Officers elected for the national office at the University of Wisconsin include Bill Welsh of Berea College as president Ralph Dungan of St Josephs College as domestic affairs VP and Bob Smith of Yale as international affairs VP. The officers will take a year off from college to manage NSA. The organization is divided into 26 regions with regional officers led by Walter Wallace of Columbia in the New York Metropolitan Region. This year regions aim to ratify constitutions among member bodies before the national convention next year to foster closer ties among students at home and abroad.
The NSA Panel on Educational Opportunity endorses federal state and local grants to aid students who are intellectually qualified but financially unable to attend college. It calls for GI subsistence increases, broader private scholarships, and liberalized college policies. It also recommends measures to curb rising fees with student government input and urges legislative action to implement these proposals.
The International Student Activities Commission details six departments including exchange travel publication and relief tasks. It promotes reciprocal US foreign scholarships and regional study grants to involve many nations.
