Public Officials In Residence
Four Alumni Return to the Campus For Short Stays as Teacher-Advisers
Four alumni directly involved in the workings of the U. S. government returned to Hanover for separate short periods late in the fall term to take on interrelated roles as teacher, adviser, consultant, shining example, and prime target for undergraduates interested in political science. Called "public officials in residence" by the sponsoring Public Affairs Center, the visitors included Harold H. Leich '29, Chief of the Program Planning Division, U. S. Civil Service; Jerome H. Spingarn '35, U. S. Arms and Control Disarmament Agency, Department of State; U. S. Senator Thomas J. Mclntyre '37 (D.-N. H.); and Oliver A. Quayle III '42, pollster for President Johnson.
Senator Mclntyre, whose three-day visit was the longest, reviewed the accomplishments of the recent Congress with junior and senior majors in Government, lectured on party structure in Congress to the Political Parties class, discussed New Hampshire politics with the Young Democrats, and met with the undergraduates who had been interns in government offices last summer.
In his two days on campus Quayle spoke to Prof. David Kovenock's class on political parties on the relationship between pollsters and candidates and to Social Science faculty members on survey techniques.
Many of Leich's talks with students concerned preparing for and getting into a career in government and what to expect once that objective is gained. He spent an evening with the interns; and later he had a review session with the faculty responsible for the intern program.
Students interested in State Department and Foreign Service work kept Spingarn talking for a good part of his stay. He also addressed a Cutter Hall audience on the spread of nuclear weapons. The "public officials in residence" lived with the students in Cutter Hall.
