Claiming that his organization’s
emphasis on social issues is not mis
placed, Frank Jackalone, national
chairman of the United States Stu
dent Association, said the USSA
does serve the interests of the
American college student.
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

group broke off from the USSA at
that group’s merger conference this
summer. 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-

“I think forming ASF was a
poor idea.... I think they should
have given us at least another
year or two. They had one shot
to get their views across, and
they decided that since they
didn’t get their say, they’d take
all their marbles home with
them. ” — Frank Jackalone, na

States Student Association.

ing on social issues, due to the na
ture of Washington politics. 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. He estimated that 80 percent
of USSA’s time is spent lobbying on
education issues; only the rei
der of the effort is spent on]
issues, he said.
Far left opinion doesn’t doJ
the USSA, Jackalone said, inJ
ASF members’ charges to t
feet. The very existence ofthej
of reformers at the summer j
ence was indicative of the tolJ
