Work on Legislature Available to Students
Graduate students can intern in a direct participation-observer program with the Kansas Legislature, if they qualify.
Those accepted for the program will receive a $4,000 stipend. In- terns can also receive ten hours of graduate study credit.
"This is an excellent opportunity for journalists, lawyers, and others interested in public service to meet the major lobbyists, mem-
This is an excellent opportunity others interested in public service bers of the legislature, and other public officials." Earl Nehring, assistant professor of political science and co-ordinator of the program, said.
INTERNS should gain an intimate knowledge of the legislative process, Prof. Nehring said. During legislative sessions interns will be assigned to key legislators, such as the speaker of the house and the president protem of the senate. In this capacity, the interns will assist in the legislative process. Nehring said.
While the legislature is not in session, the interns will work in the Research Department of the Legislative Council. The council studies problems assigned to it by the legislature, and sometimes studies problems on its own, Prof. Nehring said. Those accepted for the program should plan to live in Topeka during the ten month period, he said.
Up to five internships are available. Prof. Nehring said. Because this program has funds for five more years, undergraduates who are interested in government should keep it in mind if they plan to do graduate study. Nehring said.
FUNDS FOR THE program are provided by the legislature and by the Ford Foundation. Nehring said.
A seminar, under Prof. Nehring's direction, is another part of the internship program. It is for participation in this part that academic credit is given. "We bring top political scientists to talk to those who participate in the seminar," he said.
The deadline for applications is May 1, Prof. Nehring said.
Good Squirrel Report
SACRAMENTO, —(UPI)— Assemblyman George Zenovich, who led a drive to capture six squirrels at Fresno County Court House Park and transfer them to State Capitol Park to perpetuate the species made his first annual squirrel report yesterday to the full assembly.
"I am very happy to announce that the superintendent of the park saw two baby squirrels yesterday." Zenovich said. "I have cigars."
Backers Plan Avery Meeting
The KU Avery for Governor committee is holding a reception for Kansas congressman William H. Avery tomorrow night to give faculty members the opportunity to meet the Republican candidate for governor.
The reception will be given at 5 p.m. in the Kansas room of the Kansas Union.
"Congressman Avery, a University of Kansas graduate with a major in political science, has an impressive record in support of significant programs relating to higher education," the committee said.
Among legislation dealing with higher education that has received Avery's support is the National Defense Education Act of 1958, the Health Professions Educational Assistance Act of 1963, and the Higher Education Facilities Act of 1963, the committee said.

Faculty Members To Present Papers
Three KU faculty members will describe their studies of measuring the earth's surface by high-altitude satellite Thursday in Washington, D.C.
Richard K. Moore, professor of electrical engineering, and instructors B. E. Parkins and C. G. Chia will deliver two papers before the International Scientific Radio Union.
The first paper will describe how Moore, Parkins, and instructor A. K. Fung used information from the U.S.-Canadian satellite, "Alouette," to obtain the first high-altitude measurements of the radio reflection properties of the earth. Radio-wave reflection can be used to measure large parts of the earth's surface.
The work was supported at the KU Center for Research, Inc., by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, with the cooperation of the Defense Research Board of Canada.
The second paper, by Parkins and Moore, will describe the first experiments in the new acoustic measuring tank at the Center for Research. The tank is designed to simulate radar measurement signals bounced off the moon.
