Les Politiques Les Politiques, government honorary, tried to acquaint Miami stu- dents with national political proceedings by sponsoring a mock con- vention and inviting famous politicians to speak on campus. At meet- ings, various professors and students contributed ideas concerning na- tional problemsg for example, Mr. Cottrell and Mr. Cunningham spoke on racial segregation. Members served the campus by counting votes for student elections. Initiation requirements included six hours of government, enrollment in an advanced government course, a 3.0 average in government and a 2.5 over-all average.
