ustrian Life opic of Talk y IR Major
The experience of living with n Austrian family for six weeks ist summer will be described hursday by Richard Merritt, a nior in the School of Interna-onal Relations, when he speaks fore the Women’s Breakfast ’lub at the Ambassador Hotel. Merritt was one of 500 Ameri-n students selected by the Ex-riment in International Living ociety to spend a summer with foreign family to “spread peace nd good-will.”
The 500 students were split in roups of 10, and sent to live with eople in India, Mexico, Austria, inland, France, Yugoslavia, Tur-ey, Germany, England, Greece, Columbia, and Peru.
Merritt traveled to a small Austrian town called Klagenfurt. 7is hosts were the widow of a niversity professor, her ,sons, ed 13 and 18, and her 17-year-ld daughter.
When the six weeks was over, erritt, with the two Austrian ■ys, joined some other Americans and their Austrian hosts for a three-week bus trip through Europe.
merce, started three years ago, was judged the best of more than 90 college programs fostering a better understanding of the American nation, according to the Freedoms Foundation. A distinguished awards jury of state supreme court justices and heads of civic and service clubs made the selection.
The aims of the Institute are to make the average businessman familiar with and able to speak in defense of the free enterprise system, something he has too often taken for granted. The course sets forth the principles and mechanics of the system, what it is, what threatens it, and what can be done to preserve it.
Two Sections
Two sections of the Institute meet at SC for six weeks each summer. One is held for executives of Los Angeles corporations. The other is conducted for 30 “middle management” men of the Santa Fe Railway.
Major problems that face the nation and that have a direct effect on business organizations are explored by the Institute. These include the contest for power between government, business and labor, the nature of competition and ways to preserve it, the Federal Government’s attempt to control business, and the effects of high taxes. The problems of inflation and the national debt, and a study of fascism and communism. The major rivals of capitalistic democracy are also studied.
President Fagg
“SC is indeed honored to receive this award.” said President Fred D. Fagg Jr. “An independent university, privately-financed and privately-controlled, SC has always been a champion oi the American system of free enterprise,” he added.
The Institute grew out of a conversation between President Fred G. Gurley of Santa Fe, an SC trustee, and President Fagg. Dean Lawrence C. Lockley, of the SC School of Commerce, and a faculty of five professors, all with business experience, worked on the curriculum for months. Santa Fe had been interested for a long time in the education of its employees on all levels, particularly officer material, on the major problems that face this country and what can be done to preserve the American way of life.
Wives and Children
Santa Fe permitted the men to bring their wives and children with them to the campus, and all were housed in one dormitory. Some of the wives and children enrolled in other SC summer classes. The Santa Fe Institute won an honor medal from the Freedoms Foundation in 1953.
Dean Lockley was at Valley Forge this week to receive a special gold medal and $1000 from the Foundation on behalf of the University, and an engraved watch for himself for his part in establishing the special course of study.

Notice
Sponsorship of a mock political nominating convention in the Spring of ’56 will be recommended by Steve Robertson, ASSC Forum chairman, in his report to the Senate tonight.
Many large universities throughout the nation participate in this activity preceding j	"
each presidential election. Ober-lin College in Ohio originated the idea in 1860.
The objectives of these mock conventions are (1) to instill in every student the desire to participate in the democratic processes, (2) to stimulate thinking and interest in domestic and world problems, and (3) to acquaint every student through practical experience with the procedure and techniques of a National nominating convention.
Jerry Blankinship, AMS president, will present the Senate with a new AMS constitution for approval.
Blankinship explained that a new’ constitution is necessary because all copies of the former document disappeared during the spring elections in 1954.
The new constitution is almost the same as the old one, still, possible controversy may arise over the section dealing with the election of the president. The clause stipulates that a person must have served on the AMS cabinet to be eligible for president. Some politicians feel this gives too much power to the present president, who normally appoints about a third of his 16-man cabinet.
Concerning the convention legislation, Robertson will show the Senate that the ’52 Oberlin convention was comprised of 1200 delegates and some 3000 spectators. Senator James Duff of Pennsylvania made the keynote address and senator Wayne L.
Morse of Oregon was the permanent chairman. Earl Warren was nominated for the- Republican presidential candidate in the mock convention.
Carlton C. Rodee, chairman of the Political Science Department, expressed his enthusiasm for the that the various universities of idea and made the suggestion Southern California be invited to participate in the convention.
“I believe that the Southern California Political Science Association would be interested in cooperating in such a venture,”
Rodee added. “There was a one-day mock political convention held at Pepperdine College in 1952 involving delegations from the different universities in the vicinity. However, thp SC-sponsored convention would be more realistic in that it would be a detailed activities.”
Chairman of the ’52 Oberlin Convention, Fred Harshbarger, will be present at tonight’s Senate meeting. He will play a short tape recording of some of the convention activities and will give a short talk on the activities and possibilities of having a similar convention at SC.
