CCH's Aim - To Promote Politics
Part 9
"The purpose of the Citizenship Clearing House is to organize a program through the schools designed to encourage politics on the local, state, and national level," said Rhoten Smith, professor of political science.
The activities of the affiliate and member institutions are divided into:
Teacher - oriented-activities in which the teacher is helped to increase his knowledge and understanding of the realities of politics and to teach more effectively.
Student oriented activities of the first level where students are in a state-wide region of, or campuswide conference with political and civic leaders, meet in an informal atmosphere to learn various aspects of American government and politics.
Student oriented activities of the second level in which the student acquires basic political skills.

Student - oriented activities of the third level in which the student works actively for a candidate on a party organization.
Service to the parties where state
and regional clearing houses provide services as they can to parties in return for assistance rendered by parties to the clearing house affairs, and research through an action organization that supports research as an aid to teachers."
The Citizenship Clearing House, started at the New York University School of Law, is supported financially by the Falk and Ford foundations. A board of trustees is appointed to assist in formulation of overall policy for the program.
Started At NYU
"The program." Prof. Smith said, "centered at NYU, has various regional and state committees." The director who heads these committees is George H. Williams, a professor of law at NYU.
"The associate director," said Prof. Smith, "is a political scientist appointed each year on a 1-year basis for those who have been active state affiliates. They leave their University and go to New York to live for a year." There have been five such affiliates since the program was started, with Michigan State College, Bowdoin College, University
of Southern California, University of California at Los Angeles, and KU, which was represented by Prof. Smith last year.
"Headquarters for the Kansas Missouri region is at KU." Prof. Smith said. Ethan Allen, professor of political science, is the director and Prof. Smith the associate director. There are 50 schools who participate in the program in Kansas and Missouri.
More Permanent Organization
KU has organized a political Emphasis Committee which took part in and headed up the Political Emphasis Week Activities during the November presidential election.
"Tentative plans have been made to make this organization a more permanent one in the future," Prof. Smith said.
"One of the main reasons this organization is needed." Prof. Smith said, "is that for years professors were barred from politics. Now, through the CCH, they have been taken into political situations never understood before. This means better teachers of political science and more political science enthusiasts."
Thor Bogren, Scranton senior, was elected president. Other officers elected were, Dr. James E. Seaver, associate professor of History, vice president and Dr. John H. Patton, professor in the School of Religion, secretary-treasurer.
Archaeology Group Formed
"A group on the campus felt a need for study in the area of archaeology because of the rapid progress and new discoveries being made in this area," said Bogren. He added that recently there have been extensive discoveries in this study field throughout the world.
The creation of a Local Society of the Archaeology Institute of America was realized last week when the local group gained the twenty-five member minimum required by the Archaeology Institute of America
"We feel that by coming together we are able to share the latest findings in all of the various areas as well as having an opportunity to hear outstanding authorities in the various areas of archaeology," Bogren said.
Share Findings
Local speakers with background knowledge of the subject will also speak to the society at their monthly meetings.
"There is an understanding between the national institute and the local society to send out three nationally known speakers to speak to the group," he added.
When a member of the local society graduates or leaves the campus he can remain as a member of this society or transfer to another local society, said Bogren. At this time the membership then changes from a student to a national membership.
A Focal Point
Concerning the society Bogren said, "It will serve as a focal point and meeting place for the members to give facts and history concerning this area of study. Membership is open to anyone interested in Archaeology."
