‘The Architect of the Whole Plan’: Harvard Law Graduate Ken Chesebro’s Path to Jan. 6
The National Student Association's position as recruiting agent for guides at this summer's U.S. National Exhibition in Moscow drew both praise and criticism from Student Council members last night. Edward L. Croman '60, president of the Council, said it is "certainly something we'll have to consider" before voting on rejoining the organization.
According to Clieve S. Gray 1G, former NSA official, that organization has been asked to provide 16 guides for the exhibition. The government will "presumably" hire the other 44 guides directly, Gray stated. Since Harvard is not a member, undergraduates in the College may not apply through NSA to be guides although Radcliffe and graduate students may.
NSA Position Criticized
John T. Daley '61, recently elected Council member from Dudley House, claimed NSA's position as agent is "one factor against them." "I just can't see them meddling in international affairs," he said.
An opposing view was taken by Lewis B. Oliver '61, another Council member. "NSA is probably the only student group with the facilities to provide this kind of service," he cliamed, adding, "I have always been in favor of their international program."
Croman agreed that NSA's international activities are valuable, pointing out the difference between NSA's direct activities and the expression of opinion in convention.
