Everybody on sorority and fraternity row may be
doing the "twist," but the people working In the Wenner-Ore- n
Aeronautical Research Laboratory are doing the
"shake."
Their latest Innovation Is a Khake-tabl- e
for testing
the effects of vibrations on the humnn body, and persons
riding on It may experience anything from a feeling
of welghtlewness to an evomition of lunch. The machine
will be used for the study of vibration effects In space
flight. Presently the mechanics of the table are being
tested for defects, but by early January tests on people
will begirt.

The most desirable aspects of this new system ara

However, the system Is still Imperfect. The oscilloscope showing the signal recording the position of tha

You look around the room. The

Again you look for the typewriter. This time you get down on
your hands and knees and peek
under the bed. No luck.

"Heavens no," answers Dinky as

A
soon as the bags are unpacked after Thanksgiving vacation, strange things begin happening in a women's dormitory.
The first thing you notice that
is a bit out of the ordinary is the
crooning voice of Johnny Mathis,
at one o'clock oil a Sunday morning, singing a spirited version of
"Jingle Bells." Now you begin to
realize what is going on.
Everyone has Just recovered
from Thanksgiving and already
they are thinking of Christmas and
what Santa Claus will bring them
this year.
In the dormitory, things look
rather strange. As you try to go
into your best friend's room, you
can't find the door knob. In fact,
the door is a mass of wrapping
paper, scotch tape, and green ribbon. It looks like a package big
enough to hold three football play- ers and a Volkswagon. A big greet- ing card says, "Merry Christmas
from Stinky and Dinky."
Finally after two or three quiet
screams, either Stinky or Dinky
opens the door from the inside and
you slowly ease by the trimmyig
so that you won't disturb it.
'
Hey Stinky, can I borrow your
typewriter?"
She says yes. so you head for
the desk. However, the typewriter
is not there anymore. It has been

"Hey, look what I found," Stinky
says as she holds up an eluht foot

boots, and a big silver belt buckle.
Stinky then notices you with the
typewriter in your hands and asks
if you've finished typing already.
"Not quite," you hear yourself
saying as you go out the door.
"And by the way, your room sure
looks swell."
"Merry Christmas," you yell over
your shoulder as you run the obstacle course around everyone's
luggage back to your own snug
little room. And as you pause to
admire the big silver star on your
door, you realize that Christmas
does make a difference.

'Biting Your Own Hand'

Recently, there lias been an
effort by some prominent names in
journalism to encourage newspapers
to stand up for themselves, rather
than take the attitude they exist solely
and ridicule.
for public
We can only say Amenl It's high
time the people in the journalism field
began taking pride in themselves and
their work, instead of continually
downgrading the profession.
Why is it that some newspapers
get satisfaction from belittling themselves, and other newspapers, for
their shortcomings. This belittlement,
perhaps, would be fine if it were in a
constructive vein, but it seems that
rather than being constructive, most
of it only tends to drag the profession through the mud, and aid the
antagonists of the press.
We contend it is not the purpose
of the press to repeatedly inform the
public of the faults in the profession.
It is obvious that by doing this, the
press is simply decreasing its pres- -

tige, and gradually turning what
should be an accurate and responsible
medium into a mockery, tainted with
suspicion.
Instead of sitting at our typewriters and pecking out aimless and
criticism at ourselves and our colleagues, let's check
facts and then, if we must be critical,
at least make it constructive and beneficial criticism.
On the other hand, if we're criticized, and the criticism is justified,
let's take it on the chin, and pitch
in and correct the shortcoming which
precipitated that criticism, instead of
foolishly magnifying it. If we're criticized, and it is undoubtedly unjustified, then by all means let's throw
away the crying towel and fight back,
instead of hanging our heads and confessing our sins.
Let's make journalism a profession which we'll never be ashamed to
work in. Let's begin now, while we
still can.

Summer Intern Explains Washington Job

(EDITOR'S NOTE -- Student Congress will be asked tonight to consider
the development of a summer working plan in Washington, designed
primarily for political science and
journalism majors. To better acquaint
all UK students with a similar plan,
the editors present here an article by
a Yale University student who spent
the summer in Washington with the
State Department as a summer intern.
Mr. Harding was one of more than
70 students participating in the Yale
program. His article
is reprinted from the Yale Daily
News.)

KENNETH R. HARDING
The Senator shrugged his shoulders and wryly commented, "Hell, I'd
much rather talk to you guys than
go back to the Senate floor." Hut the
Senator trundled off, and so did the
summer
interns who had been hurling questions his way for the previous hour
and 15 minutes.
Another interview with a top government official thus drew to a close,
but by summer's end, such meetings
had become commonplace for the
more than 70 Yale graduate and
associated
students
undergraduate
with the intern program.
The interviews were interesting
and often fascinating the speakers,
many of them Yale alumni, were especially candid but in a sense, this
was the frosting on the cake. In a
summer highlighted by the Merlin
crisis, the Punta del Este conference,
and the foreign aid battle, there was
work to be done, and the interns
found themselves deeply involved in
this work.

Curious Complex
In more than 23 interviews, the
interns were able to question, prolje,
and draw
insights into
curious complex of
Washington's
politics, policy, and personalities.
They met with Senators Mansfield,
Humphrey, and Dirksen, Goldwater,
Douglas, and Javits. They spoke with
Congressmen H o i n g ( Kennedy's
strategist in the House), Hrademas
(brilliant liberal member) and Passman (a powerful and vicious opponent of foreign aid).
The list included Associate Justice Potter Stewart, and columnist
James Reston. In addition, the interns
spoke with New Frontiersmen W. W.
Rostow, Arthur Schlesinger, and
Chester Howies, Hill Hundy, Sargent
Shrivcr, and Whizzer White, as well
as Abraham RibieolL
Many attended one of President
Kennedy's news conferences, and
some got to know Vice President
Johnson.
Throughout Oflicial DC
In dozens of Senatorial and Congressional offices Democratic and
Republican, luVral and conservative
in the Pentagon, the State Department, and Treasury, in the regulatory
agencies throughout official Washingtoninterns were working.
The
program
is the biggest collegiate undertaking
of its kind there were over 70 interns
but Washington found room for
them.
Washington is a growing city. A
prolonged building boom, now entering its sixth year, is reflective of the
nature of the government on all levels. Space is at a
first-han- d

11

premium. This is especially true on
Capitol Hill, where the interns frequently worked from
corners in overcrowded offices.
The interns were there only for
the summer many with little or no
prior experience in government but
they were put to work attending congressional hearings, writing speeches,
and digging into research.
Variety Of Work
The nature of the work of the individual interns varied considerably,
as the following examples indicate:
Peter Hell, 1962, working for Senator Saltonstall, was granted privileges of the Senate floor during the
crucial foreign aid fight. His task was
to keep Senator Saltonstall advised
on the more than 60 amendments offered to the bill.
Phil Ritterbush, working in the
office of Senator Proxmire, almost
researched the background of L. J. O'Connor, Texas oilman nominated to sit on the Federal
Power Commission. Ritterbush's work
resulted in a
speech which

Jon Hirge, 1961, in Congressman
Hrademas' office, worked closely in
business
assisting the
community in the Congressman's district. He also covered the Peace Corps
hearings' as well as the hearings on
Hrademas' juvenile delinquency bill.
Another intern, working for a New
England, member on the House Space
Committee, was flown to Cape Canaveral as the Congressman's personal
representative to witness America's
launch.

The examples are not unusual
they are typical of the experiences
gained by the summer interns.
It has been observed that many
individuals-bo- th
faculty and student "would have given their
for a summer in Washington.
The Yale interns were doubly fortunate for they also drew salaries
some handsome, others moderate.
Arrangements were made either exclusively with the employer, or jointly
between Yale and the intern's office.

Prospects P.right
The success of the 1961 Yale summer intern program can hardly be
questioned. The program stands solidly on its fett, and prospects for the
1962 program are even brighter the
Peace Corps is interested in as many
as five interns, ami the State Department has indicated it will expand the
number of its interns.
It is then fore somewhat surprising
to note that only five years ago there
were no interns in Washington at all.
In 1958, 12 interns were placed, in
1959, 23. Last year it expanded to
40, bolting to 70 this year.
The idea of the program caught
on enthusiastically, but had it not
been for the persevering cfloits of
four alumni in Washington Henry
Hillingsley, 193S, Clive DuVal, 1935;
David Martin, 1945 (newly appointed
to the Yale administration); and Timothy Stanley, 1950, and Norman narrower, director of the Yale Placement
Office, the program might never have
gotten off the ground. The Yale Chili
of Washington and the Placement
Office worked together to open up the
job opportunities and carefully select
students to fill them.
