HENRY DOMBROWSKI SC To Join National Student Ass'n By EUGENE KATSANIS 22-4 Vote The student council voted to join the United States National Student Association by a ballot of 22-4 following a fiery debate Tuesday in the student lounge. The motion was spearheaded to its overwhelming victory vote by Bill Caldwell and Bill Oberhelman, the council's USNSA committee members. They fought every move engineered by Bill Hammel, council president and the motion's principal opponent. Oberhelman said that the committee favored the motion because it helps member schools solve problems that arise in student government. It also publishes many booklets and newspapers on student government and many other fields. He said that USNSA has a fulltinu.' researcher surveying problems that arise in student government. "They have just finished a survey on the parking problems of universities throughout the nation," he said. "Miss (Rosalie) Parrino, dean of women, who has returned from a conference of the deans of women, said that the other deans favor the USNSA and so does she from what she has heard about it," Oberhelman said. Hammel attacked the association as being "pink-tinted" with communist influences. Quoting excerpts from UNSNA's eighth National Student Congress Hammel tried to show that in part they endorse many communist practices and are not consistent in their resolutions. From records, Hammel pointed out that the association condemns any university from expelling a professor because he belongs to any totalitarian organization. The resolutions says that a professor should be dismissed only because of professional incompetence. Bill Caldwell, in a rebuttal, proved to the satisfaction of the overwhelming majority of the council that USNSA is not in any way connected with communism. He quoted the association's resolutions in full, congressional record and a letter the committee received from the White House with the endorsement of President Eisenhower. "I quote the resolutions in full and not at Mr. Hammel has in excerpts. If he would have read the entire title of the paper he has it would have said 'excerpts' of the resolutions," Caldwell said. Caldwell believes that it is impossibleimpossible for the organization to have any Red influence because the delegates to ne national congress are carefully chosen representatives of their student body and must meet the approval of the faculty. "For them to be an officer," he said, "they would have to have national recognition and be a leader in the national congress. This is where we believe is the real elimination of communist from the organization." Mr. Charles Des Marais, member of the advisory board of USNSA and one of the formers of the association's constitution, said that all of the strong colleges and universities in the country belong to the group. "Loyola could contribute a lot to the NSA (a shortened form of USNSA which is in common use) and it will also gain a great deal," Demai'is said. He said that USNSA sponsors "so many projects that it is almost impossible to list them." Demai'is added that he could think of no other group of young leaders in America better than the students serving as officers for the past 11 years. "College administrations and faculties are well organized," he said. "The only group that is not well organized is the students and they are the most important." Jessie Bergeron, A&S senior, gave testemony to the council that when she attended the national congress of 1959 she observed no Communistic dealings. Hammel summed up his objections in four points: (1) They are opposed to the Loyalty oath; (2) They are opposed to the attorney generals' list; (3) They are opposed to rolls of membership; (4) They believe that the student council should meddle in administrative policies. Alyce Cocchiara, a delegate to USNSA from Dominican, said that although her college has only been in the association one year they have had strong benefits from it. She said that it has improved their freshmen orientation program, election problem, the problem of leadership training and other problems that the college had. "I did not see any communist activities and I was looking for Up In The Air!
