American Citizenship Center helps youth With the belief that, informed citizenship is the key to responsible citizenship, the American Citi- zenship Center is aimed at assuring citizenship edu- cation through annual youth seminars. Realizing that student thought is strongly influenced by stu- dents themselves, the center has enacted a program to train student leaders whose influence will be felt after they return to their home community and multiplied through years of future leadership. Thus, seminars were begun for gifted high school students in the upper third of their class who were recommended by local school and civic leaders. These students spend a week in discussion con- cerned with America's heritage and the principles on which the nation's future may be guided. 2 ACC Director, George S.

Through use of the dial control in each car- rel, it is possible for the student to listen to audio tapes coordinated with workbooks, allowing him to receive the factual basis of his course outside of class. This frees in-class time for more discussion and saves the faculty members from giving the same lecture over and over. The library has seat- ing for l00 students and can house 50,000 vol- umes.
