American colleges fail to train young people to participate in poli tics for five principal reasons, a recent report issued by the Citizen ship Clearing House of the New York University School of Law charged. The chief faults for which the colleges are blamed are: 1) no training in politics at all for~ half the college students; 2) inadequate training for the other half,'and 3) lack of political experience of teachers in introductory courses; 4) deadly uniformity in college political instruction; 5) too much splitting up of basic instruction into too many minor fragments. The report recommended that colleges not only improve their in troductory courses in politics but place stronger emphasis on the de velopment of small courses in polit ical parties for advanced students. "Every effort should be made to improve the training and politichl experience of teachers and extend the use of laboratory methods through requiring actual participa tion in political campaigns while still in college," Thomas H. and Doris D. Reed, nationally known consultants on government and editors of the report, declared.

Travel And Study Tours Of World Offered Students World Study Tours, sponsored by the Columbia University Travel Service, attempts to combine the satisfaction of social understanding and the pleasure of making friends in foreign lands, with the delights of travel. Special-interests programs, in terviews with official and unoffi cial informants, visits in homes, and discussion within the group affords insights which the mere sightseer misses. In programming a study tour, the aim is to utilize time and opportunity to the best advantage. There is a proper balance of sight seeing, recreation, and learning. It is the usual practice to leave a third of the day for students to shop, rest or to explore indepen dently. The tours average anywhere from as few as eight to as many as twenty-five members. Each study-tour is accompanied during its stay in a country by a guide interpreter who knows the special interests of the group. Also there is an American with each group, experienced in finding guides, and who combines knowl edge with practical skill and in spiration. Tours will be conducted during the summer months which will em phasize UNESCO, social change in Europe, theater arts in Europe, family life in certain countries, medical care in western Europe, northern and southern Europe, and the eastern Mediterranean. Coun tries included in the tours will be all the countries of Europe that are at all possible, as well as Scan dinavia, and the Balkans.
