Policy makers 'medieval'—Eulau

Mini-railroaders meet
A club for persons who have a love of railroading on a small scale meets at 7:30 tonight at its headquarters at 7 East 7th.
A KU faculty member, James Thomson, assistant professor of music history, and two KU students—Dan Hedman, Stockholm, Maine, sophomore, and Don Pauley, Jefferson, Iowa, graduate student—are members of the Kaw Association of Railroading. The club is for model railroading enthusiasts.
Their meeting, which will be open to the public, will include a slide lecture on track work, rolling stock and trestles, and a movie entitled "They Steamed to Glory."

"The major task of the social scientist is to make the policy maker self-conscious about what he is doing," he said.
