The -First Student Conference
on National Affair* (SCONA I)
was founded in the belief that the
select group of college senior* and
juniors in attendance would be
among those future leaders in pub

whole people, who have always
been the final authority in direct

a visit by the vice-president of the
Memorial Student Council. Bud
Whitney, to the annual Student
Confarenee on United States Af
fairs at the U. S. Military Acad
etny, West Point, N. Y , in 1954.

Whitney got together with the
MSC Council and friends to dis

meeting for students from college*
of the Southwest and Midwest
