PULITICAL SCIENCE HAS WASHINGTUN STUDY Majors in the Political Science Department this year had the opportunity to spend second term in VVashing- ton as members of the Washington study group. Each student took three courses, one of which was usually especially relevant in regard to the material available there on the federal government, and saw and heard key government personnel almost as a matter of course. Because of the apparent success of the trip this year. there is the possibility that it will be required of all political science majors who do not go abroad. At home with Department Chairman Arthur Fun- ston and department member, joe Hoskins, majors had dinner meetings to discuss pertinent topics related to politics. As part of the classwork in political science, they made field trips to the state capital Indianapolis to observe the legislature at work and to meet with Governor Matthew XYelsh. lt is hoped that in the future some essential depart- mental eourses will he offered more frequently than just in alternate years. Furthermore, at some date it may be possible to have expanded courses in areas such as underdeveloped countries, foreign relations, and political research. 28 Ioe Hoskins, utilizing his knowledge gained on Richmond's City Council, lectures his class on state and local government. 4 I i -in ,- X ?' . t wigs . i Ng, if U ef SRS V , 5 Q y 'A . s X ll HI 1 21-2' D A j V1 X :Z 41- in In Arthur Funston's political science seminar, discussion ensues after the presentation of a paper by one of the class members.

Ralph Andrcano returned after a year at Harvard to become Department Chairman. Another returnee, Joe Coppock, who had served for a year as a State Department ad- viser, will leave again to take a profcssorshp at the American University in Beirut. The aura of the non- XYL-stern permeated this department, too, in the form of Japanese economist, Yasuo Sakikibara, who will teach a course in comparative economic systems in the fall term. Although economies had just eight majors graduate this year, it is likely to have more in the future since it now has four full-time men, Ralph Andreano, Joe Coppock, Cil Klose, and Claude Stinneford. Graduating majors chose to do graduate work in related fields such as law, political science, and history, as well as econom- ics. sw X X , X s W QNX My W .Q .
