It isfelt that this permits them to make comparisons between their on-the-jobexperiences and those that are presented in textbooks. A uniquefeature of the Rhode Island program is its acceptance of both undergraduateand graduate students, along with carefully selected highschool students.

McKENNA Chairma,2 To The Honorable, The General Assembly of the State of RhodeIsland and Providence Plantations State Capitol Providence, Rhode Island 02903 This second edition of the Annual Report of the Rhode Island State Gov- ernment Internship Program reviews the Intern Programfrom its Inception. The Report presents the history of the intern program and theactivities of the Commission. The program itself is a unique approachfor we have interns at the graduate, under-graduate and high school level. For the pastthree years, the "Model Legislature" program has been integrated into the program. The Commission wishes to thank all who contributed to the success of the program the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Legislators and the many speakers who participated in the seminars, and in particular, our gratitude to Dr. Victor L. Profughi of Rhode Island College for his effort as chairman of the Academic Advisory Committee and his editing of this report. A special word of thanks is also extended to Mr. Oliver L. Thompson, Jr., who has most ably served as the administrative assistant on the Commission. His extensive experience and interest in the intern program has been one of the most important ingredients in its success. We thank you for your past support and urge your continued interest. Sincerely yours, o-a4e9tX. Robert J. McKenna Chairman RJM :glr Enclosure 1.1111111111111110 PREFACE The American constitution outlines a cooperative partnership between the central government in Washington and the states. In recentyears, however, the efforts of the national government frequently overshadow those of thestates, even though the latter may be closer to the citizenry. Scholarstoo have tended to con- centrate on the federallevel and state governments frequently are put inthe position of being more severely criticized than carefully analyzed:state govern- ments and political leaders also arc held in low esteem by the public. The Rhode Island State Internship Program is dedicated to the conviction that a major step toward restoring public confidence in state affairs will bea link between the public and the state government. It assumes thatas participating students of public affairs state government interns can help to provide this link while bringing a potential gap between the academic community and governmental administrators and decision makers. The program also presentsa logical .avenue for the recruitment of future state employees, and at leastore intern has already entered government service. One poll of interns showed that approximately 50 percent indicated that they planned to become public servantsor run for public office after graduation. Under the general supervision of the Commission on State Government In- ternships, chaired by Rep. Robert J. McKenna, and including Prof. Elmer E. Cornwell,' Jr. (Vice-Chairman), Rep. Lucille A. Love (Secretary), Sen Albert A. Cappelli, Mr. Arthur English, Sen. John P. Hawkins, Sen. Thomas H. Needham, Rep. Henry W. Pacheco, and Mr. Donald F. Shea, thirty-two students servedas interns during the 1972 legislative session. In pedagogic terms, students are provided with off campus work experiences tl-tat provide a taste of the real political world and this permits them to makecom- parisons between their on the job experiences and that which is presented intext books. The textal and experiential are seen as complimenting each other,not as antithicaL A unique feature of the program is its acceptance of both undergraduate and graduate students, along with carefully selected high school students. Theco- operative effort is exciting and increasingly successfulas members of the academic and governmental communties work together ina common endeavor, which is of mutual benefit. Victor L. Profughi Chairman Academic Advisory Committee I. HISTORICALSKETCH The earliest group discussion ofa state inte:nship program came at a luncheon meeting heldat the Uni- versity Club, in Providence February9, 1967.

In its first years of operation several deficiencieswere apparent: a) selecting both satisfactory studentsand capable sponsors required the greatestcare; b) mutual trust between the sponsor and his intern was an absoluterequirement; c) it was evident that the LegWave Council, because of the heavy demands madeupan the time of its limited staff by the normal operationof the legislature,was unable to provide the coordinationwhich the program Speaker Joseph A. lievilacquaand Intern Mark Weiner, La- demanded.

It seems hard to believe that it was just a few years ago that I welcomed you to Roger Williams University at freshman Convocation. And while much of the tradition and ceremony seems the same - the marching, caps and gowns, speeches, cheering and tears - much more has changed. The University has grown tremendously in your time here, both physically and in reputation. We have earned our place regionally, nationally and internationally as a respected name in a variety of academic disciplines. We have been engaged in the world through the articulation of our core values - love of learning, preparation for future careers and study, student­ faculty research, service, a global perspective and civil discourse. In many ways our transformation can be attributed to students like you, who have carried those values with you in your journeys.

  • Prayer Practices
    Floor Action 5-145 Prayer Practices Legislatures operate with a certain element of pomp, ceremony and procedure that flavor the institution with a unique air of tradition and theatre. The mystique of the opening ceremonies and rituals help to bring order and dignity to the proceedings. One of these opening ceremonies is the offering of a prayer. Use of legislative prayer. The practice of opening legislative sessions with prayer is long- standing. The custom draws its roots from both houses of the British Parliament, which, according to noted parliamentarian Luther Cushing, from time ”immemorial” began each day with a “reading of the prayers.” In the United States, this custom has continued without interruption at the federal level since the first Congress under the Constitution (1789) and for more than a century in many states. Almost all state legislatures still use an opening prayer as part of their tradition and procedure (see table 02-5.50). In the Massachusetts Senate, a prayer is offered at the beginning of floor sessions for special occasions. Although the use of an opening prayer is standard practice, the timing of when the prayer occurs varies (see table 02-5.51). In the majority of legislative bodies, the prayer is offered after the floor session is called to order, but before the opening roll call is taken. Prayers sometimes are given before floor sessions are officially called to order; this is true in the Colorado House, Nebraska Senate and Ohio House. Many chambers vary on who delivers the prayer. Forty-seven chambers allow people other than the designated legislative chaplain or a visiting chaplain to offer the opening prayer (see table 02-5.52).

PUB DATE Dec 70 NOTE 19p. ERRS PRICE EDRS Price MF-$0.65 HC-$3.29 DESCRIPTORS *Church Related Colleges, *College Graduates, *Enrollment Trends, *Theological Education ABSTRACT To determine the extent to which the Christian colleges serve as a source of students for selected theological seminaries in the United States, seminary catalogs with student rosters were obtained from 11 seminaries. Those included were: Gordon, Grace, Dallas, Fuller, Western Baptist, Talbot, Trinity, Eastern Baptist, Calvin, Princeton, and Bethel. The findings indicated that:(1) Christian college graduates tended to attend seminary within the same geographic region as their undergraduate college, though Princeton and Dallas drew their students from all areas of the country; (2) Christian colleges affiliated with seminaries tended to be the greatest source of Christian college graduates for that seminary;(3) Bible colleges produced a surprisingly high percentage of the total enrollment of the seminaries;(4) several seminaries received a substantial percentage (over 30 percent) of their students from the public sector; and (5) Christian colleges supplied 43 percent of the seminarians to these seminaries.

  • ABSTRACT Reclaiming Peace: Evangelical Scientists And
    ABSTRACT Reclaiming Peace: Evangelical Scientists and Evolution After World War II Christopher M. Rios, Ph.D. Advisor: William L. Pitts, Jr., Ph.D. This dissertation argues that during the same period in which antievolutionism became a movement within American evangelicalism, two key groups of evangelical scientists attempted to initiate a countervailing trend. The American Scientific Affiliation was founded in 1941 at the encouragement of William Houghton, president of Moody Bible Institute. The Research Scientists‘ Christian Fellowship was started in London in 1944 as one of the graduate fellowship groups of Inter-Varsity Fellowship. Both organizations were established out of concern for the apparent threat stemming from contemporary science and with a desire to demonstrate the compatibility of Christian faith and science. Yet the assumptions of the respective founders and the context within which the organizations developed were notably different. At the start, the Americans assumed that reconciliation between the Bible and evolution required the latter to be proven untrue. The British never doubted the validity of evolutionary theory and were convinced from the beginning that conflict stemmed not from the teachings of science or the Bible, but from the perspectives and biases with which one approached the issues. Nevertheless, by the mid 1980s these groups became more similar than they were different. As the ASA gradually accepted evolution and developed convictions similar to those of their British counterpart, the RSCF began to experience antievolutionary resistance with greater force. To set the stage for these developments, this study begins with a short introduction to the issues and brief examination of current historiographical trends.
