The conference has 104 sponsors in the Southwest and Mexico and operates on an annual budget of about $18,000. The first SCONA met in De cember, 1955. It was insired by the U.S. Military Academy’s Stu dent Conference on U.S. Affairs (SCUSA). The vice-president of the MSC Council flew to West Point in 1954 to i-epresent A&M at SCUSA. He was so impressed that he returned and begj;n to pro mote a similar conference for col lege and university students in the Southwest. The MSC Council approved the idea and cadets solicited support from alumni, business men, indus trial leaders and various founda tions. By September, 1955, $12,- 000 has been contributed and SCONA I was born. For the past seven years the organization has been successful to the extent that it, like SCUSA, has inspired other schools to or ganize similar conferences.
