No. 2 TOWER LIGHT STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE, TOWSON, MARYLAND September 25, 1956 rdi The United States National Stu- 0/lents Association better known as 118148A, is a confederation of college tudent bodies represented through heir student governments. It is he largest representative national LrtictUdent organization in the world Wiikith some 300 member schools re-e Ilresenting 600,000 students. re ti) IS was created to serve the long-itxisting need for a representative nter-collegiate organization de- ,igned to serve the American stu-eacient community, and to promote ludent interests and welfare. Direct impetus for USNSA's tEiS Juunation came in 1946 when 25 f vkrn, erican students attending the nieWorld student congress became 1,Ware of the lack of a representa-noOve national student group in the 0 r nited States. Their interest led o the calling of the Chicago Stu-dent Conference in December 1946 kith representatives from 300 col-eges and 25 student organizations. ut of this conference came the onstitutional Convention held at 13 he U niversity of Wisconsin, which rtobrought forth a constitution for ra-ie by the individual col- )ectieges, the election of officers, and ..0ple program for the new associa- Ill Lion. The aims and purpose of USNSA as outlined in the preamble, ded- \Ideates the association to: ""maintain academic freedom, 3,st1niulate and improve democratic P�14governments, develop better edu-rAational standards improve stu-holedeut Welfare, promote internation- !s Pal understanding guarantee to all People equal rights and possibili-ties for education and foster the ree�gnition of the rights and re- 1Ponsibilities of students to the lch001, to the community, human- i, :1Y and God, and to preserve the Ariterests and integrity of the gov-aijOerntrient and constitution of the �piPuited States of America."" rod As each college student govern-adopts the constitution, it en-forses these aims and purposes. )64 ITSNSA provides five major Dea.rea,s of service which could not is I b e developed through the efforts �if a student government working alone on a campus. They are: (1) Providing a voice for students na-saionally and internationally, (2) nitlf,acilitating the exchange of ideas, BPPerations, and programs, (3) oTianning and promoting inter-col- ' egiate projects, (4) bringing edu- dieational benefits to American stu- Clodents, ""u (5) serving the general Welfare of the nation.

National policy is determined by the National Student Congress held each summer and attended by voting students representing each member college and by interested students and faculty observers. This year the ninth annual Na-tional Student Congress was held at the University of Chicago from August 21-31. Towson was repre-sented at the congress by Bernie Hartman, Vice-president of the SGA, and Al Morey. On the regional level, Towson is associated with the Mason-Dixon Region, one of the nineteen geo-graphic regions of NSA. The Mason-Dixon includes Washington D.C., Delaware, and Maryland. Each region has its own constitu-tion, executive officers and pro-grams. Regional assemblies meet several times a year to establish programs and policies and to carry on specific projects for the benefit of the region. This year the first regional assembly is scheduled to be held at Towson. Dwight D. Eisenhower, Presi-dent of the United States has this to say about the NSA. ""Students will ever play an im-portant role in our intellectual life. By promoting student participa-tion in campus governments and national affairs, the USNSA is helping to strengthen our educa-tional system and to prepare stu-dents to become responsible citi-zens in the democratic community now and in the future years. In its international work your association is cementing bonds of friendship with students through-out the world and laying the groundwork for every increasing cooperation among free nations."" The potential of NSA rests with the students of America. NSA can do a better job only when each individual student recognizes his obligation to the educational com-munity and to national and inter-national life. Continued and in-creased support by students will make even greater benefits pos-sible, thereby contributing to the progress of higher education in the United States. Changes Made During Summer Among the many changes which took place on campus this sum-mer, the foyer of Newell Hall has taken on a new look. A few pieces of furniture have been add-ed, to make the foyer more home like. Besides the additions, the re-arrangement of the furniture has made much improvement in the looks of the foyer. Other changes in Newell Hall include the converting of the staff room into an office. The center lounge on second floor Newell is being converted into a study hall, available to all resident women. Not to be outdone by Newell, Richmond Hall can proudly boast of its new coat of paint. The blue of the hall walls contrasted with the dark finish of the doors and wood trim has done much to im-prove the appearance of the in-terior of Richmond Hall. Night Watchman To Return Soon We regret to say that Mr. Tom Ferciot, our senior watchman will not be with us for a while this semester because of a misfortune this past summer. During the middle of June, ""Mr. Tom"" had a heart attack. He was immediately rushed to the hospi-tal in an ambulance. The hospital room became his home for a good part of the summer. Mr. Tom, a senior member of the oldest selective service draft board in Maryland, has been at the college since 1947 and natural-ly he has become a part of State Teachers College. He has become a personal friend of many stu-dents throughout his years on campus. Everyone remembers Mr. Tom as the watchman who ful-filled his job of keeping security on the campus after hours so well. We all hope to have Mr. Tom back with us within another month. He came out here earlier but because of his doctor's orders he couldn't remain here. At pres-ent he is resting so he can come back permanently. Many of the organizations and clubs have sent cards and greet-ings to Mr. Tom. It would be ap-preciated if some of the students would personally send him cards and notes. His address is: 427 E. Lorraine Ave., Baltimore 18, Md. The date for Mr. Tom's return has not been set as yet, but we all hope it will be soon. Until then let us not let him forget that we miss him! Lutheran Picnic On Thursday, October 11th, the Lutheran students of Towson State Teachers will hold a picnic in the Glen. All Lutheran Stu-dents are encouraged to attend this first meeting of the Lutheran Student Association. The picnic will introduce the new students to the policies and members of the association.
