CURRICULUM COMITTEE The Curriculum Committee was formed at the request of the facul to be a channel for student opinion about the college curriculum and relat activities. Suggestions based on this opinion are made and discussed wil the Faculty Curriculum Committee. This gives students responsibility helping to plan their courses and aids the faculty in obtaining a more con plete idea of the actual needs of students. The committee also plans ar undertakes various student activities, such as student advising.

Contributions come largely from students in the various creative writing and literature courses. The author’s names are re- moved from the manuscripts, and they are read and discussed by the staff. Criticism is given to the contributors along with any sug- gestions for editing. Aside from the critical aspects, DIMENSIONS has jobs for those in- terested in the business, publicity, or circula- tion end of magazine work. NSA The NSA Committee of Sarah Lawrence has concentrated its energies this year on the cause of international student cooperation. We were the only college to send an observer to the meeting of the International Union of Students. Subsequently we were the only col- lege to urge that the NSA reverse its decision to break relations with the I US. On the home scene, we were again first to petition the na- tional office to investigate aberrations of academic freedom in the courts and legisla- tures of the land. This has been, we believe, a valuable service to students here and abroad. We have set a precedent which we shall keep. Rosen. Augustus. Schienfeld. Joffe, Roberts. Page Fifty-seven

It has also continued to sponsor Roundtable meetings to offer a greater opportunity for intellectual discussion on a serious plane. Speakers were invited to talk on a topic in some specific area in philosophy, or its relation to other fields or current problems. This resulted in an exchange of ideas among the persons present, whether students, faculty or visitors. PHILOSOPHY ROUNDTABLE The Sarah Lawrence Chapter of the NAACP is one of the many groups of this kind organized in our colleges and universities. It is a unit of National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peo- ple, an organization founded in 1909. The primary function is that of informing students of the prob- lems affecting Negroes and other minority groups, and of advancing the economic, social, and political status of all oppressed peoples; our group hopes to further the development of an intelligent and ac- tive youth leadership through the college campus as well as in the nearby vicinities.
