Representative Velde (R.Ill.) stated that Communists "through their treacherous and un-American maneuvers have been able to place Communists and Communist sympathizers in control over many student organizations on the Roosevelt College and University of Chicago campuses."

Lowenstein replied that N.S.A. representatives are democratically elected by the various student bodies.
