Students are getting an inside view of government every sum mer during the Washington Stu dent Citizenship Seminar, held under the auspices of National Student YMCA and YWCA. Two students from the Univer sity, Doris Carlson and Wilson Strand, attended the seminar last year. In spite of the awesome title they found it a wonderful experience. Strand worked in Marine Corps Hdg:. as a clerk-typist. The title had little connection with the work since he did little typing and less clerking. Among the odd jobs he performed were getting signatures and running a duplicating machine. Miss Carlson, president of the University YW, worked in the Pentagon. Other branches of gov ernment open to students are the Mutual Security Agency, Navy Re search Laboratory, Housing and 'SHome Finance Agency, Library of Congress and the Department of Labor and Agriculture. The purposes of the seminar are to observe the process of federal government, to see the respon sibilities of Individual citizens in a democracy, to understand the relation between Christianity and government and to prepare for ef fective Christian citizenship. The first week at seminar was dedicated to orientation of Washington, watching House and Senate sessions and listen ing to outstanding governmental speakers. Among the speakers were Mrs. Anna Rosenberg; Dr. Arthur Flemming, assistant sec retary of defense mobilization; Dr. Leon Keyserling, chairman of the presidents council of eco nomic advisers; Dr. Dorothy Fosdick, of the policy planning staff of the Department of State; and Marquis Childs. The seminar drew 125 students from 65 colleges and 35 states. The group was quartered in dormitor ies at Howard University, in Washington, D. C. Strand called the seminar a great experience in cultural relations between races. All religious viewpoints were rep resented. Political issues were discussed too. One Texan who stood staunchly on the side of the States in the Tidelands Oil battle Coffee Hour To 'Educate' NU Voters Movie, Talk To Explain State Amendments An "Educate the Voters" theme will be featured at the coffee hour Tuesday, in Room 315 of the Union.

' fair Board Queen To Reign If farmer's formal The Ag College tractor testing laboratory is buzzing with activity this week as the Interna tional Harvester Tractor Company is conducting tests on a late model propane tractor. At present they are running the drawbar experiments. One Interesting note Is that the trac tor testing ground at the Uni versity Is the only approved one In the United States, and one of the two In the world. Another point of Interest for the coming week Is the Fanners Formal Friday eve ning. This is one of the big social functions of Af Campus.

With many organizations on the campus seek er members the Farmer's Fair Board has joined the group. However, this board requires more ydeonts Work would get up and speak on the topic every time he had a chance, Strand reported. The students usually spend from the beginning of the last week in June to the end of the last week in August in Washing ton. Pay averages $250 per month and the work week is 40 hours. One of the activities of the seminar was a "very noisy" mock political convention held before the national convention began. The convention was di vided into two parts, one de voted to forming the platforms and naming committees and the other to the convention meet ing. Three parties were represent ed in the mock convention, the Republicans who nominated Ike and Margaret Chase Smith; the Democrats who nominated Ste venson and Humphrey; and the Independents, who nomi nated Pogo. The nomination speech for Pogo was made by a student from UCLA and sounded very mucn like a nomination speech for Earl Warren until the last line, Strand said. Included in the convention were parades, songs, campaign buttons, five by seven foot pictures of Gen eral Dwight Eisenhower, bales of campaign literature irom party headquarters and a non-partisan keynoter who wore an I Like Ike button, smoked a pipe and rapped vigorously for order with a wom an's high heeled shoe. In the closing moments of the convention the supporters of Pogo swung to Ike with just enough votes to carry the nomination. Weekends were devoted to edu cational and recreational tours to Mount Vernon, Dumbarton Oaks, various embassies, Annapolis Naval Academy, Williamsburg and New York City. A barge trip down the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal, deep-sea fishing and a hos tel bike trip were activities for smaller groups. Also listed was a pogo-stick tour down the Mall, but the only names signed up were Johnny Weismuller and "Harry," Strand reported. Strand was a member of a group who took a bike trip to a point 15 miles outside the city. "The mistress of the house told us that it was older than Mount Vernon, and it looked it," he said. The group cooked their own meals and conducted their own religious services on Sun day morning. The girls slept in the loft of a garage and the men in the loft of a machine shed. In order to take part in the seminar a student must be at least 18, have completed two years of college and be a U. S. citizen. The seminar is open to members of all races and creed interested in its major purposes. Nearly all appli cants were accepted last year. The students will take a civil service examination, Form 57, between Jan. 1 and March 1. This is a general test in vocabulary, gram mar and correspondence, given at the Post Office. Tests may be taken in typing and shorthand if desired. Students will probably be classed as GS 3's. The GS stands for General Schedule. More information on this project or other work-study projects is available at the offices of the YMCA and YWCA. Chancellor Continued from page 1 meet increasing U.
