The consensus ofopinion of each Individual groupwas then presented to the entireassemblage. In this manner, thedelegates from the various collegesevaluated and exchanged information which would enable them toassist in setting up the type oleadership training programsuited to their campus.bestFirst on the program, in orderto ascertain what specifically constitutedstudent leadership, was aconsideration of the necessary"know hows," that is, self job andpeople. The importance of a leader's self confidence was stressedIt was also decided that a definitebelief in his opinions is necessary,but he should realize thevalue of compromise and the blendof the ideal and practical, if hisgroup is to function efficiently. Thefunction, limitation^, duties andobligations of the leader's job mustbe clearly understood by him.Working with a keen sense of organization,the group's goal shouldalways be kept in mind, and a jobonce started should be concluded.Third "Know how" area concernsan awareness of the "pulse"of the student body. Good public relationsis one of the most essentialtools of any effective leader.The next topic under considerationwas the value of group dynamics.Dr. Van Cleve, professor atthe New York State College forTeachers at Albany, spoke brieflyon the various methods and meansSHOEREPAIRSERVICETHEKAMPUS KAVEhas the Shoe Repairagency for theJ.

It wasagreed that for maximum effectiveness,eacn or tnese methods shouldbe used at its mosts opportunetime and chosen with great care.They contribute to the disclosureof information which is not gener«ally available and allow for thecrystallizationof ideas. Buzz groupswere considered especially useful inobtaining pertinent material wherethereis no common orientation.The discussion of various aspect»of student leadership gave to- thedelegates the information ' withwhich to organize a suggestedframework for leadership programswhich could be adapted on theirindividual campuses.Six points were emphasized relevantto setting up a leadershipporgram: (1) formation of an interestedcommittee; (2) talks witTiadvisors; (3) careful study of thestudent body situation; (4) plansfora specific program; (5) organizationof a good publicity committee;(6) careful evaluation ofthe program with reference to botbinclusions and participation.The delegates felt that the information. and viewpoints obtainedfrom this N.S.A. conference will beespecially beneficial in planningthe Senate's leadership conference,which is tentatively scheduled forsome time between the Thanksgivingand winter recesses."WIGGY" WALESSome little wiggieswear step insSome little wiggiesgo bareBut 'Wiggy" doesn'tgo bareHe buys his clothesat you know where»
