Jackalone commented by tele phone on charges made against his organization by Jeb Hensarling of Texas A&M University, president of the American Student Federation. Although both groups are newly- formed, USSA is thought of as the official Washington lobby for college students, since it was formed through the merger of two older lobbies, the National Student Lobby and the National Student As sociation. The American Student Federa tion was formed when a splinter BOOKSTORE PROFITS WORKSHOP Wednesday, March 21, 1979 3:30 & 5:15 p.m. Room 212 Memorial Student Center All student organizations planning to request funding from Bookstore Profits for the 1979-80 academic year must plan to send a representative to one of these work shops.

The dissidents, led in part by Hensarling, said that USSA mis directed its efforts by lobbying for social issues at the expense of educa tional issues, and that USSA was undemocratic and unrepresentative in its organization. “Education itself is a social issue,” Jackalone said. “All the issues we’re working on have some relation to education, though they may not be very direct issues that occur on col lege campuses.” Jackalone said his group’s strength is not wasted when lobby- DAILY 7:45 945 Starring ROBBY BENSON imf Introducing LYNN-HOLLY JOHNSON PG Soon: The Only Way Out TOE “I think forming ASF was a poor idea....

Work ing in coalitions with other groups on social matters helps build strength for USSA when educational issues arise, he said. Jackalone labeled “absolutely false” the charge that USSA spends more time on social issues than on matters directly related to educa tion.
