N.S.F.A. CONVENTION HELDJ BOSTON The Tenth Annual Congress of the National Student Federation o f America was held at the Parker House, Boston, Mass., December 28, 1934 to January 1, 1935, with approxT mately 200 studen t s from Colleges all over the country attending. The delegates from B.S.TvC. were Frank Camera, Jack Beck , and Dick Kelly. The N.S.F.A., which was organized at Princeton in the Fall of 1925, is made up of representative elected student officials of all colleges of the country—a national student federation. The original idea was to give the American college youth a mouthpiece. The goal is: 1. We shall seek first to study the local campus student institution with the viewpoint in mind of perfecting t ha t ins t itution , be it at hle t ic affairs , class organization or the like. 2. We shall seek to develop an intelligent student opinion on questions of national and international affairs. If a student has a satisfactory campu s life , then this should carry over into the public arena. When the student undertakes public office in later life he will be able to perform his duties intelligently. Activities These are the Activities as given by President Mr. John A. Lang: 1. A year and a half ago we started a national student magazine that you could use to express your viewpoints . 2. Two surveys reports were drawn up this past year : On Campus activities; on Fratern ity affairs. 3. We are bringing over from England debating teams. 4. We broadcast weekly over the Columbia Broadcasting system. 5. Wo have a Student Travel Service. G. We have established district meetings to bring more closely home to you tho problems pertaining to your section or campus. 7. National services : Student Relief Program—Tho National Student Fedoration has constantly brought to tho tyos of tho people Jn Washington the demand for a student relief program , as large and as useful as possible. The government has asked the N.S.F. A. which wants to see such a unit in Washington and through thoir effort It Is now well undor way.

More Nothin gness It is useless to tell a person not to work. If one is the type to worry and has something to worry about (imagined or real ) nothing can stop it. If one has the mind to he will, but if he has the will to he necessarily will not mind. The existence of a will or mind is some people's argument against fatalism, never considering that it is fa t e's decree that we have a will. Fatalism for the intelligentsia is a logical expl ana tion ; Fat alism fo r the "lower elementary" is an alibi. The fa t alist say s, "It is written, so shall it be." The hist oria n says, "It has been, so let us write it." • Shakespeare said , "To be or not to be." It is possible not to be. If there is t here is an d th ere can 't be nothing beca u se n othin g is t ermed the lack of existence. To be means to exist. Primarily, tha t which is natural is good , the unnatural being bad. Civilization itself is biologically bad; man , therefor e, has an apt itude t o be bad. Young people are good because they are afraid to be bad. There is more restriction than license in civilization. Inhibitions build up an unnatural sense of feai. 01 i people are good because, they are afraid t o be bad , but even those who have conquered that fear haven't the energy to be bad. Be good , but not so good you don't enjoy life. It'is better to be blind and miss the good things than to see and know the bad things. 11 l can so much as make one person laugh (or even smile), regardless whether he laugh at what I do, at what I say, or at what I am, my life has not been lived in vain. Congeniality is based upon Temperance Tolerance and Tactfulness One part egotism and two parts of self-confidence will get anyone anywhere anytime. Talk yourself up—not out. Never be disgusted with yourself, because disgust is a mental state of inferiority. Be impervious to insults, for the one who insults belongs on a low level or he would not make slanderous remarks. A person who is bored is either super-intelligent , ignorant, or a specialist. W. H.

LI GHTWEI GHTS ARE NEEDED Wrestling, under the adept super- vision of Coach Kenneth Horner of the Sham okin High School, is increas- ing in popularity with the boys. On Saturday quite a large group of "greenhorns" were present in the locker room ben eath the library steps to learn the manly art of grappling. A couple of Coach Homer's grapplers from Shamokin put on an exhibition t o show th e fellows how i t shou ld be done. To Meet Colleges Ther e is still a big demand for "lightweights" between 115 and 130 pounds. Wrestling is one sport in which small fellows have a chance. They wrestle only with those in their own class, and if they win they receive as many points as do the heavyweights. Fellows are needed to represent all classes. If enough interest is shown by the boys in this sport there will be engagements with Mansfield , East Stroudsburg, and other colleges. 19 Candidates Report , Those who make up the squad at present and their appr oximate weights are as follows : Cesari , George 155 Davison, Thomas 130 Derr , LaRue 172 Harter, Gerald (Doc) 165 Hunter, E arl 130 K olonku ski, Chet 160 Litwhiler, Daniel 175 Litwhiler, Woodrow 175 Maczuga , John 160 McDade, Don 126 Mericle, Mervin 190 Michaels, Charles ii>6 Novak, Bruno 140 Philo, Leonard 140 Pietruszak, William 175 Troutman, Luther 175 Zalonis, Adolph 145 Zeiss, William 135 Green, Sam 185 Teachers Colleges and Football Should State Teachers Colleges play general liberal arts colleges in football ? J. F. McGovern, former West Chester mentor, believes it's o.k. for them to schedule the smaller academic schools but not to get into the "Big Time " schools. More specifically, he believes that West Chester has overstepped in pairing off with Syracuse University for next fall , It shows a marked over-emphasis of the gridiron sport in a school set up by state funds to train teachers for the public schools system, he said, MdGtovern 's view against Teachers Colleges Btepping into the "big time" is buttressed with a knowledge of the financial set-up of these state institutions. It takes money to put out teams that can compete against such schools as Syracuse, he argues, and sooner or later the school that overBteps will come to grief.
