Freshman Sean Frazier and Professor of Business Ray Fisher spent their weekend in Washington D.C. at the Student Symposium of the Center for the Study of the Presidency. The Symposium is an annual function in which college students at the international level are invited to attend. This is the se cond year Brevard College has attended. The purpose of the symposium is to in vestigate the different roles and expecta tions of the office of the president and to examine the transitions of the political at mosphere as the presidents come and go. There were speakers such as Tom Pettit, Chief National Affairs Correspondent of NBC News, Helen Thomas of United Press International, and professors of political science, history and American studies from national and international colleges. “There are a lot of intelligent kids in America,” said Frazier^ “I heard ques tions I’d expect to hear from reporters in a White House news conference.” Frazier added that his favorite part of the trip was the numerous conversations he was able to have with people from dif ferent states and countries. Frazier was chosen by a board made up of B C faculty members after having writ ten an essay expressing why one should go to the nation’s capital. Frazier is the se cond official representative to attend the symposium. Fisher expressed his hopes for B C to continue sending representatives in the future, saying it would be a very wor thwhile experience for any political science or history major.
