It is students in action. For the past 16 years USNSA has served American students as a medium for the exchange of ideas and the expression of their opinions as citizens in a changing world. Certainly we cannot deny that this is a changing world. With change comes challenge. To meet this challenge, understanding is of utmost importance. Who is better able to understand and exchange ideas than the students of the world? But for this exchange to occur a medium is needed. USNSA is this medium. Inl946 the World Student Congress opened in Prague, 25 American students attended unofficially; unofficially because there was no American Student Organization. Over the entire world, student organizations had existed, some for more than half a century. The American stu dents returned determined to form, an organization to have , a spokesman of the American Student Community. The first session wsa Christmas 1916. Seven hundred del- egates from 291 schools and 16 National Student and Youth organizations met at the University of Chicago to form committees, to draw up a constitution and to make preparations for the conference to be held the following summer, where the basis for the National Student Union was decided. This flexible, yet sturdy structure has contributed to 16 years of growth in programs of service, education and action by creating an awareness of students local, national and international responsibilities i n improving their own education. Opportunities for existing and new programs and projects are boundless. One major purpose of USNSA is to give the American student a voice in national affairs.
