Coed interns at U.S. capitol
By Sam Neff Kansan Staff Reporter
A KU coed in a unique internship program spent the past summ er working on Capitol Hill.
Doris Eisenhardt, Moran junior and one of 30 college students selected to work for the Collegiate Internship program in Washington, D.C., served as an assistant to Rep. Joe Skubitz (R-Kan.)
She was employed by the Interior and Insular Affairs Committee, which has charge of all matters concerning the civil governments of Puerto Rico and the Philippines, and also deals with subjects not included in any other department.
Miss Eisenhardt said her duties were to tabulate questionnaires that are mailed periodically to Kansas residents. She said the questionnaires "were concerned with everything from Viet Nam to people's favorite television programs."
Six KU men in AF ROTC get grants

KUMC offers nurse degree
Classes for a master's degree in nursing, the first for the University of Kansas Medical Center (KUMC) )and the only degree of its kind offered in Kansas, began this fall.
Offered by the department of nursing education through the KU Graduate School, the program is in psychiatric nursing.
"This is the first time Kansas has ever had a graduate training program for nurses," said Mrs. Carmelite Smith, training program director at KUMC.
Mrs. Smith said there are four nurses enrolled in the program.
The directors of this program hope to case the need for clinical specialists in psychiatric nursing in Kansas, she said.
The students are able to subspecialize in an area of their own choosing.
"These specialties are in different fields but related to or applied to psychiatrics," Mrs. Smith said.
The purpose of this subspecialty program is to enrich the students' understanding of psychiatric nursing, Mrs. Smith explained.
The questionnaires are designed to give congressmen a better idea of people's views and needs, she said.
As part of her duties, Miss Eisenhardt also conducted tours through the Capitol building.
Although she doesn't agree with all administration policies, she said she did develop a keeper appreciation of the government and its responsibilities.
"I was vaguely interested in government before I went there," she said. After observing the government at work she was able "to identify with it and understand what the various committees were discussing and debating."
While working in the Capitol, Miss Eisenhardt attended several sessions of the House and Senate. She went to the Dodd hearings, which she said "were very interesting."
She said congressmen are "doing a good job" and are "putting out every possible effort to best serve the people they represent." She was amazed at the "quick pace congressmen keep in attending meetings and in taking care of correspondence with constituents."
