Classes tour Historic sigh Close-Up trip to Washington DC was an experience one never forgets. Through daily workshops and seminars, the pro- gram Instructors brought out one's ideas on politics and learned to accept others. Capitol Hill Day was spent by most people to see the Supreme Court in progress. Many students also went to see the House of Representatives and the Senate in ses- sion. On the night bus tour, people saw the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials and passed by the White House. Friday, the only free day of the whole week, was spent seeing the many Smithsonian Buildings and going to Georgetown. Group 90, the students that went from February 23 to March 1, stayed in Twin Bridges, which is closer to the Capitol, while Group lOO, students who went a week later, stayed in Silver Springs, 15 miles away. Both groups roomed with people from Oregon or Min- nesota. Associating with Minnesota peo- ple caused students to come home with the flu. An interesting event for the second group was a two hour wait with 20 people in an elevator, which brought students 'tclose up.
