State Intern Plans Receive Approval
The chance to work with Gov, William Avery, Lt. Gov, John Crutcher, or some other Kansas State official or agency may be awaiting some political-minded KU student this summer.
BOB SEARS, Kansas City junior and Chairman of the University Party Platform Committee, said the All Student Council proposed State Internship Program, when it is organized, would place students in Kansas State offices and agencies in Topeka as assistants.
Sears said the purpose of the program would be to acquaint students, through experience, with the many roles in state government.
Besides the work, weekly seminars would be held to familiarize the students with offices and agencies other than the ones they would be working in.
THE PROGRAM, a plank of the UP platform last fall, was initiated by a resolution passed by the ASC Feb. 16, 1965. In accordance with the resolution, Sears was appointed its coordinator by Bob Stewart, Vancouver, B.C., graduate student and Student Body President at the time.
Sears said that Professors Ethan P. Allen and James W. Drury, both of the political science department, have acted as advisors in helping to organize the program.
"We would like to set it up with a paid coordinator who would set up a selection program for applications and regulate the program during the summer."
SEARS SAID Professor Drury has agreed to take the position of coordinator, providing the money can be obtained. Plans for obtaining the necessary funds are tentative.
Sears said he has already contacted Governor Avery about the program, and Avery said he would be in favor of it.
SEARS SAID THE program would have to be set up with the political science department, since the State would have to work through the University and not the ASC.
All undergraduate students would be eligible for the program, Sears said. Although initially it would affect only KU students, he said he eventually would like to see all Kansas universities and colleges participating.
PRESENTLY NO requirements have been set up for the applicants. Sears said, however, that the students wishing to participate should have some background in political science, and that the political science department might require applicants to have taken a course in state government.
He said that the department is in favor of granting credit for the internship period, although the amount of credit has not yet been discussed.
Sears said the next step in the program's organization will be to assess the number of students who would want to take advantage of the internship. Within the next week mailings, containing a brief introduction to the program and possibly a preliminary application, will be sent to the various living groups on campus.
