J S wsv: - I nms : as v. i r. 3 ' V Sharon 5 Pratt Dear Fellow Students, During the past two weeks, the student administration has been concerned with a reorganization of the Student Government Association Council. This, in effect, neutralized any attempts or plans for activities before Homecoming. A group of students, feeling a need for such an activity, have initiated plans for the It was mysterious approved in S.G.A.C. meeting last Tuesday with a special commendation to these students. Instead of remaining in a state of inertia and complaining, this group has moved to accomplish their goal of generating spirit. I hope attention of their effort will beget participation in the activities. I extend a salute to these students, definitely lending color to our program. NSA Meets Here On November 3rd, approximately sixty delegates representing the colleges and universities in Utah will be on campus for the annual Notional Student Association regional meeting. Westminsters student government is particularly anxious and proud to host this meeting, hoping that our student body will become interested in the meaning and purpose of NSA. This will become a definite purpose in our program this year. We have a dubious past history in the association realizing only one side of its functions. The National Student Association consists of more than 384 colleges and universities with a total enrollment exceeding one million students. Its general role was expressed by President Kennedy, as: Many of our present public programs had their initiative in private el forts by groups such as the National Student Association. NSA has helped to prove the wortn of broader educational exdechange programs and to velop support both here and abroad. The programs offered utiby NSA can certainly be the and lized on our campus will student government launch study for the near future. y. Appointed EISA Coordinator Sharon Pratt, a sophomore majoring in political science and philosophy, has been appointed N.S.A. Coordinator for the year 1962-63- . Sharon has been active in the Political Science Club, Model United Nations, International Relations Club, dramatics, and the Parson staff.

(National Student is a confederation of n) studentbodies at over 400 American colleges and universities. It is the only exclusively student controlled organization of its kind. The association has served educational communities for over a decade by cutting across political, religious, racial, and social differences and has furthered the ideal of a genuine communion among students based on common problems, committments, and goals. As coordinator it will be Sharons duty to appoint a committee to work with her. This committee will seek to discover problem areas on campus and seek solutions for them. Anyone interested in working with Sharon on this committee is asked to contact her personally. The N.S.A. committee at each school is given a specific problem applying to campus life. The committee is to investigate this problem as to its significance on their particular campus and how it has been handled there.
