Review
“SCONA,” said one of the 160 delegates to the four-day
meet, “certainly got off with a bang.”
Yes, and with a stab and a slash and a cut, too.
We attended both plenary sessions the opening day and
heard Liberal Sen. Humphrey, the Democrat from Minnesota,
and Conservative Sen. Hruska, the Republican from Nebraska
tell a capacity packed Memorial Student Center Ballroom
“Why I Am A Liberal (Conservative) and Damn Glad I’m
Not A Conservative (Liberal).”
The senators probably didn’t sway many in the audience
to their side (we went in a Conservative and came out a
Conservative), but they did (1) clarify their meanings of
Liberalism and/or Conservatism, (2) point out what Liberals
and Conservatives are doing now to help solve the Nation’s
and World’s problems, thus providing SCONA delegates with
a heap of fuel for today’s round table meetings, and (3)
told enough funny stories to make sure everybody left the
sessions friendly.
★ ★ ★
Sen. Humphrey used to teach a course in political science
at Macalester College in St. Paul, Minn. He told the audience
this.
“Politics”, he said, “is a very unstable business; you
never know when you might be looking for a job. So I like
to keep reminding people I can do something else— especially
people like President Rudder who hire college profs.”
One thing’s for sure—if Sen. Humphrey were lecturing
(even on political science) you would have a hard time going
to sleep in his class.
★ ★ ★
Sen. Hruska on free hospitalization for the aged: “I
sincerely hope the (medical care) bill doesn’t pass in its
present form. If it does, even Joseph Kennedy with all his
millions left over from last year’s election, will be elegible
for free hospitalization.
“ . . . the present medical bill won’t work, for it is wicked,
it is bad—besides not being good.”
★ ★ ★
Just a guess, but the man who makes out the menus in
the dining halls must be a Conservative. The senators ate
noon chow Wednesday at Duncan. “Bullneck” was that good
“bohunk” sausage.
Hruska, (whose name in Czechoslovakian means “pear,”
is national vice president of the Western Bohemian Fraternal
Association.”

Mr. David Spencer,
Chairman, SCONA VII:
It is with great pleasure that
I send greetings to the students,
faculty and guests gathered for
the seventh Student Conference
on National Affairs at the Agri
cultural and Mechanical College
of Texas.
I think these conferences have
great value to the students who
participate. It is of even wider
value that our college students
express intelligent concern about
the important political, domestic
and international issues which
face us, and that ffhey have
created a forum for an informed
interchange of ideas and philos
ophy.

I said in Seattle last month,
“We shall need all the calm and

My best wishes for a fruitful
