CONGRESSMAN-IN-RESIDENCE

U.S. Representative Clark MacGregor '44, Republican from Minnesota's Third District (recently reelected to a third term in the House), spent one November week in Hanover as the College's first "Congressman-in-residence." Although numerous Congressmen and Senators, alumni and other, have journeyed to Hanover for lectures and other "spot" assignments, Congressman MacGregor lived within the College community, in class and out, from breakfast meetings to late evening discussions.

Brought to Hanover officially by the Public Affairs Center, which has previously sponsored visits by officials of the U.S. Civil Service, the Foreign Service, and others in government, Mr. MacGregor met with classes studying "Voting Behavior and Political Participation" and

"American Parties and Politics," participated in a number of Great Issues discussion groups, addressed a meeting of the Public Service Interns from last summer's program and those undergraduates interested in the Class of 1926 and Public Service Fellowship programs for next summer, talked over GOP affairs with the Young Republicans and Minnesota affairs with student constituents from his district, and spoke to an assembly of government majors.

Regarded as a leader among the young moderate Republicans in the House, Congressman MacGregor found his postelection student audiences eager for his discussion of the future course of the Republican Party. The Congressman, also a member of the House Judiciary Committee and an important worker for passage of the Civil Rights bill, made himself available to individual students interested in public service and Congress.
