WASHINGTON-Trust a Mich- igan student to get into the most unique and interesting education- al experiment that the capitol pro- vides. Nelda Napier, University junior, is one of the 69 political science majors from 44 schools around the country who are getting an inti- mate first-hand view of the gov- ernment in action this summer through a "Student Citizenship Seinar" sponsored by the YM- Y WCA and the Friends. Jobs and places to live were found in advance for each of these students who spend four evenings a week in seminars with promin- ent Washington figures. I ran across Nelda when she was attending Senate committee hearings on her day off and was subsequently introduced to Mrs. Abrahams, a rather fabulous per- son better know to the seminar group as "Joe." She is responsi- ble for the nine-week series which provides a cross-sectional view of Attends ROTC Corferences Col. Carl E Henion, Prof. of Military Science and Tactics at the University, will attend a reg- ional ROTC conference at the University of Minnesota August 18-20. The purpose of the conference, which is one of five regional gath- erings in the United States prior to the opening of the 1947-48 school year, is to consider and de- velop all aspects of the ROTC program. Following the regional conferences there will be a general conference at the Pentagon Build- ing in Washington, D.C. Washington activities. Between "Joe and her husband (a UNESC O official known to. the group as "Mr. Joe,") many of the govern- ment's top men find their way to seminars at the Ring-S m i t h school. One night each week a special- ist from the State Department or UNESCO talks about foreign af- fairs, "Palestine Today," "Occu- pation Problems in Japan and Korea," or perhaps "Re-Education in Germany." People like Civil Service Com- missioner Flemming, Edgar War- ren of US Conciliation Service, or Dr. Griffith, Director of the leg- islative Reference Bureau explain the work of various government bureaus. Atomic Scientists A third, devoted to national problems is liable to find the group talking with the executive secretary of the Federation of Atomic Scientists or discussing The Role of Labor Unions Today" with AF of L officials. On Sundays Nelda and her friends get away from the top pol- icy level for awhile and chat about their own jobs. These range from playground directing to doing re- search for the AF of L or prepar- ing condensed reports of commit- tee hearings for the Legislative Reference Bureau. About 100 members of Congress, I learned, have standing orders for these reports of all commit- tee hearings. Just how the re- mainder keep up with what is going on is not quite clear. The social climate is delight- fully stimulating and life is a far cry from being \ all work and study. The gang takes boat trips up the Potomac, attends recep- tions by the British Ambassador, and holds its own Friday night dances at the International Stu- dent House. No, "Joe" isn't taking applica- tions for next year yet. She won't be available to set up the semin- ar next year and the sponsoring agencies will look a long ways to find someone to fill her shoes. If they succeed, the "Y's" will an- nounce it next spring.

BAY CITY, Mich., Aug. 9--(P)- Hopeful of a $250,000 "pot of cop- per~" at the end of their rainbow, eight veterans of the sea will set out early next week to prove or disprove an old Great Lakes leg- end of sunken treasure off Tawas point. Heading the expedition will be Capt. William J. McNeil, a marine contractor who believes ancient mariners' tales that 450 tons of copper ingots went down when a schooner foundered and sank 1,500 feet off-shore three-quarters of a century ago. Headquarters for the salvage gamble will be the 135-foot wood- en sandsucker Ft. Meigs, equipped to "vae1rntm clean" 3,000 cubic yards of'sand off the sunken hull. After a ten-hour voyage from its Bay City dock, the Ft. Meigs will drop anchor at a spot pin-point- ed on a map and immediately start its sandsucking operations. The layer of sand drifted in over the years will be scooped up by a large, toothed suction cup, pulled through a snake-like flex- ible rubber hose by a steam oper- ated pump and dumped overboard from the 'stern. In about three days, according to McN'eil, the sunken hull will be bared and ready for divers to start looking for the reported copper bars. A SUNDAYI Continuous from 1 P.M.COOL!

Prof. Karpinski reached retire- ment age this month. He now has the longest period of service on the faculty, he says, and "is painfully conscious of it." He hopes to sail for Europe on the Queen Mary Sept. 11, in order to attend the 5th International Congress of the History of Sci- ence at Lausanne, Switzerland- if the Department of State will grant him a passport.

Prof. Karpinski is ready to accuse the State Department of holding pro- fessors (particularly those with Polish names, he smiles) suspect as a body.
