BOSTON, January 2.~The Natfonal Student Federation of America ad- journed its tenth annual congress last night after adopting a resolution to “amend section 40 of the national defense act so that military drill in colleges and universities be made optional rather than compulsory.” The congress also resolved to sup- port “those boys who are conscientious objectors of compulsory military drill and as such cannot receive a college degree.” The student federation elected ‘Thomas F. Neblett, a graduate student at Louisian State University, as its president for the coming year, and sclected Kansas University as the scene of the eleventh congress next January. Neblett, a brother of John Neblett, one of four journalism students rein- stated at Louisiana State University after a controversy with Senator Huey Long, defeated Charles Wise of the University of West Virginia, 42 to 39, for the presidency. Margaret Taylor of the Women's College, University of Arizona, was re-elected vice president, and Wesley D. Osborne of Baltic, Conn., a senior in Boston University College of Liberal Arts, was named treasurer. Immediately after his election, Neb- lett, a former track star at Milsaps College, Jackson, Miss., announced surveys would be made on individual campuses to determine student opinion on current problems, He declared the federation would work to help students in problems of good citize! ship and to stimulate interest in n tional affairs, District of Columbia—Fair and not quite so cold with lowest temperature about 28 degrees tonight: tomorrow fair and warmer; gentle to moderate southerly winds.
