II, No. 1 /9 7 5 MARCH, 1972 NATIONAL STUDENT SYMPOSIUM SETt TENOR OF OP IM1S -F1R MERICAN POLITICAL SYSTEM I - AMONG PANELISTS IN THE NATIONAL STUDENT SYMPOSIUM WERE from I. t Sam J. Ervin, Jr.; James C. Hagerty; Clark MacGregor; and Henry H. Wilson. The weekend of March 17-19, 1972 was the occasion of one of the Center's major programs-the second annual National Student Symposium on the Presidency, convened at Gurney's Inn, Montauk, Long Island, New York. Originally having set a quota of 125 student participants, the Center, in order to accommodate as many as pos- sible of the manifold institutions from throughout the United States desiring to send a representative, accepted the nominations of 175 college and uni- versity students to participate in the conference. These students in turn enjoyed the opportunity of freely ex- changing views with high ranking members of the present and former administrations, members of the Con- gress, and eminent political author- ities. Approximately 50 distinguished guest observers were also in attend- ance. The program pivoted about the all-encompassing theme of Execu- tive-Congressional Relationships. This motif was selected by the eight Student Co-Chairmen, whose faith in the value of the Symposium as a learn- ing experience inspired them to volun- ter their aid in its planning. Fve of these Co-Chairmen-Keith A. Klop- fenstein, Jr., Notre Dame University, 1971; Walter J. Konrady, C.W. Post College, 1970; John F. Lillard, III, Washington & Lee University, Law, 1971; Jamienne Studley, Barnard Col- lege, 1972; and Marion Walker, Sweet Briar College, 1972-were participants in the first National Student Sympos- ium in December, 1970 and could offer valuable constructive criticism. In ad- dition, Hildon James, Dillard Uni- versity, 1972; Alan Jolis, Brown Uni- versity, 1973; and Michael Nizolek, Fordham University, 1972 and Center Fellow for 1971-72, served on this steering committee. Through corre- sponding and through a series of meet- ings with their advisor, Miss Bernadette Casey, Center Librarian, and Dr. R. Gordon Hoxie, Center President, the Co-Chairmen were able to pinpoint their goals and objectives and coordi- nate the Symposium program. The participating students were also an exemplary group, having been selected by the 175 participating col- leges and universitie on the basis of outstanding campus leadership and high academic status. They came to the conference well informed and pre- pared with definitive and sophisticated questions. In advance of the confer- ence, the Centre sent each student an extensive annotated reading list (see page 3) prepared by the Center's Sen- ior Research Associate, Dr. Kenneth Wallace Colegrove, and a background paper, The Presidency as a Domestic Policy Executive, by Dr. Thomas E. Cronin, Research Political Scientist, The Bookings Institution, who served as a Symposium panelist. Most of the students gathered at the Center on Friday afternoon, March 17th, for luncheon and transporta- tion to Gurney's. At the Inn the opening reception and dinner pro- vided the convivial atmosphere for the conferees to become better ac- quainted. That evening after greet- ings by Dr. Hoxie and Arthur T. Roth, Center Board Chairman, spirits remained undaunted by the disap- pointing news that Congressman Wil- bur D. Mills, grounded by inclement weather conditions, could not keynote the opening session (see pages 2 and 5 for excerpts from his planned ad- dress): and Henry H. Wilson, former Administrative Assistant to Presidents Kennedy and Johnson, President, The Chicago Board of Trade, accepted the challenge to serve as the Symposium keynoter. Superbly he stressed the con- ference theme and opened the way for dialogue. The Symposium format was a varie- gated one, encompassing addresses, a lecture, round tables and discussion groups. On Saturday morning, March 18th, Dr. Louis W. Koenig, Profes- sor of Politics, New York University and Member of the Center's Board of Educators, delivered a lecture on Ex- ecutive-Congressional Relationships as a further preparation for the round table sessions.
