SPUSA Chapter Program
SPUSA campus-based chapters enable students to convene regularly to discuss science, ethics, and world affairs. Today, students on campuses across the country are participating in hundreds of local, regional, and national events. Chapter activities range from tours of infectious disease research laboratories, roundtable discussions on gene therapy, lectures on the role of nuclear weapons in the post-Cold War era, and conferences on the future of communication technologies.
Leadership skills emerge as primary for chapter members because SPUSA activities force students to take control of their own education and shape it in nontraditional ways. An active leader in the chapter program will come away with organizing and public speaking skills, knowledge of successful event planning, and a new capacity in which to view scientific issues.

Introduction and Working Group Focus The Working Group on Weaponisation of Space and Missile Defence was composed of 22 members from 11 countries (including 6 members from the International Student Young Pugwash). This report of the working group is the sole responsibility of the rapporteurs, and while there was a high level of consensus in the group, this does not necessarily represent consensus on all points. The majority of the discussion was focused on continuing efforts on the prohibition of space weapons as instigated during the 52nd Pugwash Conferences in La Jolla and the First Annual workshop on Preserving the Non-Weaponisation of Space
Missile Defence
In general, it was agreed that developments in missile defenses could have major effects on international and regional security and that many components in the currently proposed multi-tiered, layered system are technologically far from proven.

Pugwash Conference arms control The chief concern of Pugwash was to bring together leading scholars from many countries to discuss ways of reducing armaments and tempering the arms race. During the Cold War it was one of the few lines of open communication between the United States and the Soviet Union. Another purpose was to examine the social responsibility of scientists toward such world problems as economic development, population growth, and environmental destruction. The conferences are sponsored by the Pugwash organization, which consists of national Pugwash groups under the guidance of a president, a secretary-general, and an elected council based in London. During the years after its founding, the Pugwash organization issued a number of reports on problems of arms control and disarmament. Its spokesmen credited these reports with having helped to prepare the way for the major international treaties limiting the development and testing of nuclear weapons. In 1995 the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded jointly to the Pugwash organization and to Joseph Rotblat Pugwash founding member, secretary-general (1957-73), and president (from 1988). (see also

article
By Frank Barnaby
On July 7 the Pugwash Conference on Science and World Affairs will be 30 years old. Most international institutions serve their original purpose well for 10-15 years and then decline, but continue to linger on. The more successful the institution, the longer it lingers, perhaps in the hopes that its past successes will be repeated. Pugwash seems to be a case in point. It has already begun to fade away, leaving its goal of complete nuclear disarmament still totally unfulfilled. Pugwash has active national groups in a number of countries. International activity is organized by the organization's secretary-general, Martin Kaplan, in Geneva, and by Joseph Rotblat, the former secretary-general, in London. That may have been true in the past, particularly when Pugwash contacts were the only ones between East and West. After all, Pugwash began in the midst of the Cold War, in the days of U.S. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles. Undoubtedly, much useful information was channeled to governments through Pugwash. But when there are many points of contact between the two sides, the need for Pugwash largely disappears. And, in today's world, the influence of individual scientists on political leaders is relatively small. The days when some scientists were household names has gone. When scientists work in teams it is hard for individuals to become eminent. Another reason is that Pugwash has shunned publicity. Other organizations with similar objectives, like the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War, believe that mobilizing public opinion is the best, and perhaps the only, way to persuade reluctant politicians to stop the nuclear arms race and negotiate nuclear disarmament. But Pugwash has preferred to work behind the scenes. In this publicity-conscious age, the group seems to have lost its relevance.

Top Scientists Send Nuclear Test Ban Plea To Bush, Yeltsin
By Barbara Spector An international group of senior scientists has appealed to Presidents Bush and Yeltsin for a permanent ban on nuclear explosive testing by the United States and Russia.
The letter is a manifestation of the Pugwash group's continuing commitment to peace. Pugwash Conferences take their name from a fishing village in Nova Scotia that was the location of a 1957 meeting of scientists in response to a plea from Albert Einstein and Bertrand Russell to devise ways of avoiding the mass destruction that can result from the escalation of nuclear weapons.
Pugwash has no formal membership structure, does not seek a broad base, does not invite the press or the public to the majority of its working sessions, and often does not divulge in detail the focus of its debates. Past meetings, however, are widely believed to have influenced international events, such as negotiations on the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty of 1968, the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT) agreement of 1972, and the end of the Vietnam War.
Vitalii Goldanskii, director of the N.N. Semenov Institute of Chemical Physics at the Academy of Sciences in Moscow and a co-signer of the letter to Bush and Yeltsin, told
