Factually at least, the piece was essentially accurate. N.S.A., the nation's largest student organization, represents the campus governments of some 300 colleges. It arranges hundreds of foreign trips and wide-ranging student exchange programs, and holds an annual National Student Congress to debate a few domestic issues and countless international questions ranging from "Whither Africa?" to "How Now, Chairman Mao?" The association was founded in 1947 by 24 American campus leaders, including White House Aide Douglass Cater, then a recent Harvard graduate, after a trip to the 1946 World Student Congress in Prague, where lavishly financed Communist groups...
From its inception, N.S.A. had financial problems; membership dues were minimal (they still add no more than $18,000 to an annual budget of some $800,000). Private foundations were not enthusiastic about contributing, partly because in those Red-scare days N.S.A. was thought to be too leftwing; the House Un-American Activities Committee even planted two agents among student association delegates to the 1962 Helsinki World Youth Festival. Nevertheless, N.S.A. managed to limp along; its representatives continued to attend a series of international student rallies. Invariably, they found themselves outmaneuvered, outshouted and outfinanced by Communist student organizations that went...
Thousands of gaily costumed tribal folk, dressed in bright robes shimmering with beads and bangles, poured through the streets of Rangoon as Burma celebrated its 20th annual Union Day, marking the joining of Burma proper with four tribal states. Unfortunately, there is not a great deal to celebrate. Communist-led tribal bands in the interior are stepping up an ugly guerrilla war. Burma is nervous about the erratic course of Red China, with which it shares a wide-open 1,200-mile border. Even worse, the country's pell-mell plunge into socialism has pell-melled right into chaos...
...stay in school. This reflects the fact that the public colleges and universities draw students from a far broader range of economic levels than do the private schools-even those that are liberal with scholarships. More than a fourth of the freshmen at private universities come from families whose annual incomes exceed $20,000, while 27.8% of public freshmen come from families earning less than $6,000. Officials of public universities are overwhelmingly convinced that tuition must be kept low if the schools are to remain accessible to a broad economic spectrum of the population...
Expanding Credit. How the prime-rate battle ends depends more than anything else on the Federal Reserve Board. With the economy cooling off, the board allowed bank credit to expand at an annual rate of 9% during December. Preliminary estimates last week put the January expansion at about 15%. With that, Wall Street analysts figured that the board's next move might even be a cut in bank-reserve requirements-which would spread an easing of credit across the nation...
