National Student Lobby
Overdue staff shake-up leads toward new foe
By ROXIE HEARN
Staff Writer
This past summer the Na
tional Student Lobby (NSL)
underwent a long overdue staff
shake-up and is now aiming
toward a new focus, said Carol
Moore, an A&M student and a
board member of the organiza
tion.
Moore, who serves on the
external affairs committee of
student government, exp
lained the changes as a “retreat
and regroup” situation.
The organization is being
served by a new executive di
rector who has brought about
many changes, said Moore.
“Our communications direc
tor was fired, our legislative di
rector and our publications di
rector both quit and at least five
others in lesser positions quit.
“These people had been in
under the old director’s
philosophy—we needed a new
direction.
“We went from no files, no
records, no bookkeeping and
no publicity to a new sense of
order. ”
The group represents stu
dents, she stressed and has de
dicated itself to “combating the
money crunch on campus,”
said Moore.
“We believe in equal access
to political and educational sys
tems in the United States,” she
said, “but the only way this can
come about is if everybody can
afford to go to college.”
For this reason NSL works
toward the expansion of basic
grants, the student loans, and
college work-study programs.

Last year, some 12,000
smokers didn’t think when they
were in the forest.
They dropped their lit
cigarettes instead of crushing
them dead out.
And so 12,000 forest fires
started unnecessarily. And
about 60 million trees died.
So if you smoke in the
forest, put the life out of your
cigarettes. No dead cigarette
ever killed a tree.

the ‘sexy issues’ like abortion or
amnesty, and focus on those we
can have some control over;
things which concern students
as students,” Moore said.
Presently NSL is completing
its annual referendum. Accord
ing to Moore, last year’s ques
tions were poorly worded and
ill-defined and she is working
to make them “as clear as pos
sible” this year.
“We re asking for con
stituent input so we ll know
what issues the students want
us to lobby for,” Moore said.
The group is also presenting
the foreign students’ view of a
recent change in the policy of
the U.S. Naturalization and
Immigration Office.
As of April 19, work permits
were no longer granted by the
foreign students’ advisers, but
through the regional office.
Fewer applications are being
accepted by them in an effort to
increase the job market for
American students, said
Moore.
As a result, work permits are
extremely difficult for foreign
students to obtain, she said.
Moore, who travels to
Washington, D.C. every three
or four months, describes
being a boardmember as a
three-pronged position: na
tional, regional and individual.
Nationally, she is concerned
with who’s hired, who’s fired,
what legislation they are con
cerned with and the progress of
the organization’s fund-raising
operation, Moore said.
On the regional level, Moore
is one of four field-persons for
Region 11, composed of 14
states. She appoints state coor
dinators and keeps abreast of
