vocated. the warm relaxed and
carefree hospitality common in the
third world. We rejected the idea:
that advancement should necessar-
ily make a man less hospitable and
turn his humane ideals to cold
charity. —
(f) The respect of labor found in
America was admired and mem-
bers of the third world were urged
to learn this kind of respect from
America.
(g) We touched on the question of
discrimination of any kind asfound
in South Africa, Southern Rhodesia,
East Africa, Nigeria or in the U.S,
We agreed that discrimination is
denial of one or more of these
eight objectives which man strives
for, i.e. power, enlightenment, well
being, skills, wealth, affection, re-
spect and rectitude.
Finally onthe: third topic, we
felt that to. be agents of change,
our goal should be for happiness.
Unlike the U.S. where the Consti-
tution guarantees the people happi-
ness, many of us come from the
world where happiness isnot guar-
anteed by Constitution, so we felt

theorists, is to change our society
from one with an emphasis on mat-
erialism and militarism to one
with more concern for freedom
based on the worth and dignity
of the individual. However, the
movement has so far had much
difficulty in defining its aims be-
yond this social panacea and in
becoming a constructive and
effective force in national politics.
Shoal Waskow, who believes that
Podhogpage channeling of
potinis es ent on the Bryn Mawr
‘campas, will discuss the relation-
ship of the Negro movement to
the left and prospects for leftist -
groups under the title of
“Politics of Creative Disorder.”
He would also like to speak to
individual students. Anyone in-
terested should contact Liz

Grass Roots Politics
Offers Students Jobs
The scramble for summer jobs
in Washington has already begun.
Because thousands of political
science majors compete for posi-
tions many are refused.
However, rejected students need
not resign themselves to being
shopgirls, for there is an ex-
cellent opportunity in Pennsyl-
vania to gain experience in grass
roots politics. A student could
.be an aide to a state legislator,
to a mayor, or to a county chair-
man.
‘The Pennsylvania center for
Education in Politics (PCEP) pro-
poses to match salaries from leg-
islators on a two-to-one basis; a
full ten-week program would pay
$750.
Applications must be approved
by Mr. Peter Bachrach and ‘must
“be submitted jointly with the poli-
tician with whom the student would
serve. (The assumption of the
carga program is that the
t already has a partisan
seep Maca thus, students
should seek internships only with
politicians whose partisan affili-
ations they share).
The deadline for applications
is Feb. 15, 1968... Students may
obtain necessary forms from Dr.
Sidney Wise, Director, Pennsyl-
vania Center for Education in Pol-
itics, Franklin and Marshall Col-
ancients Pa., 17604.

ness. Technology is the measure
of rate of progress used by develop-
ing countries. However, before we
made any further decisions to use
industrialization as a primary
means of change, we asked our-
selves if the price we have to pay
for industrialization is really worth
it. :
No conclusions were ever
reached on this topic but weagreed
that before one can be an effective
agent of change, he has toconsider
the level at which this change is:
wanted, remember that people re-
sist changes and so try to find a
way to convince them that the
change will be good. Then he will
have to consider how to organize
the people or the system to effect
this change,
An agent of change should con-
sider a method which willfrustrate
him the least. He should examine
his political configuration, know
his environment very well, should
be willing to pay the price of the
change he advocates,
At this point I will end this re-
port, but will not fail to mention
that the above is my view of what
I say our agreements were. I do
not say that the above is what the
‘Mohonks official report will be.
One thing we agreed on without
reservations is that there is no-
thing like a superior culture or
superior society. While I hope you
will think of the meaning of this
statement, I wish to add that the
developed world should never for-
get that the developing world is
just as important to it(the develop-
ed world) as it thinks it is to the
developing world. Dora Chizea
