For example, the New York region of NSA meets only twice a year, and there is no opportunity for the entire organization or any part of it to speak as a body other than at its national convention. Its power is limited to fact finding missions and in the event of an emergency, such as the St. John's incident, it can only issue what it has discovered to be the facts. It cannot express an opinion. At the national convention the smaller colleges suffer to a degree in having fewer voting members, though the St, Rose repre­ sentatives assured the Senate that smaller colleges were more effectively banding together to counteract this. These examples point to a rather weak and not well thought out structure, one not very well designed to cope with a crisis, one that does not seem to have a complete perspective of a student organization.

These are not necessarily reasons for ignoring NSA however, for most student organizations possess these flaws to some degree. In addition to this, there are other aspects of the question that must also be dealt with; these include finances, NSA as it relates to NFCCS, the nature of the organ­ ization as a political instrument and others. I will treat of these iext week. Yours till Boleric has a lucid thought.

Page 6 THE INDIAN Friday, March 25, 1966 Stickmen Appear Ready For Debut with U. Mass. By MIKE CROWLEY When most college coaches are asked for a pre-season interview, they are all too willing to launch into a discussion of how good their "boys" are and yet manage to minimize their team's chances for fear of inciting the opponents. But Siena's Russ Ferris is a dif- " " ~ " ' ' ^' ferent kind of coach, and he appar­ ently expects to have a different kind of team. Speaking of his team Ferris said, "They are the hardest working bunch of players that I've seen in my whole life. And that in­ cludes the teams I played with at Cortland." In addition to merely running laps, wind sprints, and scrimmages, the team has been going through a ^ ^i_ , special torture known as circuit .j«aw . training. It consists of doing a cer­ tain set of exercises, but increasing the number of repetitions and de­ creasing the time allowed for com­ pletion. The players work in pairs. Concerning this, Ferris said, "they MIII^IH . « have instilled in themselves a will- -^I^IH^H ..jS^ ingness to go through hell.
