Robert MtCtoy 1 It's back to school again for new members of the Illinois General Assembly, Each Tuesday evening during the first seven weeks of the present session, newcomers to the State Senate and House of Representatives attend dinner meetings designed to acquaint them with the jobs to which they were recently elected. And incidentally, the. twelve new Senators and thirty-seven new House members get better acquainted with each pther. 'Hep. Noble W. Lee of Chicago, who has conducted a similar school for new legislators 'in the past five sessions of the General Assembly, is again in charge of. the present series. ' The opening meeting provides an opportunity to meet the new governor, William G. Stratt and to learn about the governer'j duties and his relationship wi the General Assembly, as wel att his attitude toward t State's legislative body. At meeting, Lt. Governor, John liam Chapman, who serves president of the Senate, Speaker of the House, Wi Wood, as well as the vari Senate and House majority ai minority leaders relate the dut of their offices, and their r tionshipg to the General Asse: bly. At the following meeting, t! new members are introduced to the various legislative aids, i.e., the bureaus and offices established to assist sta e legislators in their work. The new members meet the staff of the Legislative Reference Bureau directed by Jerome Pinkie, which drafts the various legislative measures requested by the legislators for introduction. Also at this meeting- are the staff of the Legislative Council headed by Jack Isakoff, the research and fact finding adjunct of the General Assembly which collects statistics and explores the laws of other states to determine how various legislature problems might be handled. The clerk of the House and secretary of the Senate discuss their c*t;es at this meeting. Later, there ia a-meeting with the directors of ea'ttr of Illinois' •thirteen code departments. The scope and functions of each department are unfolded. Director of Revenue, Richard J. Lyons of Libertyville, discusses the duties and operations of his office, and the Directors of Agriculture, Labor, Insurance, Finance, Public Welfare, Public Health, Registration and Education, Public Works and Buildings. Conservation, Public Safety, Aeronautics, and Mines and Minerals tell about the inner workings of their departments. Still another session features the elected state officials, inluding Secretary of State Cai> entier, Attorney General Lath- Castle, Auditor Orville lodge, Superintendent of Public Instruction Vernon Nickell, Treasurer Elmer Hoffman and Supreme Court Clerk Earle Searcy. With more lobbyists than legislators in Springfield, it is only latural that one meeting should devoted to these "legislative advisers" -- as they prefer to called. And since the work of the Kate legislature is news, one leeting is devoted- to the Press. Rep. Lee, who Is dean of John Llarshall Law School in Chicago Uncle Sam Says When he ^ Is not serving as a lawmaker,^ ts . the legislature's foremost authority on state government. The wind-up of each of the "first termer" meetings consists of a short meaty talk by "The Dean" (as we call him). He relates the historical background for e%ch state office and function. There are no 'tests and no marks in this school for new legislators, but when the course is concluded, the new representatives and state senators know pretty well what their jobs are j all about. They know the men and women who run the various executive departments of the state and how these departments operate. They a too know where to go for sound advice and for the most reliable information. In short, they know who to see and where to go--to get things done, and they are better able j More than M mUltoa workers will to serye their constituency t unite In the Otii observance of Labor Opening Soon Chicken Tower O f r . . - V a ' v Restaurant : \ V , FRIED CHICKEN DINNERS "Our Specialty' GAMY OUTS --^CUHB • Miles West of Et. 120 - 'Lakemoor "It's A Treat Ta Eat Chicken Tower Dinners^' the people of Illinois. • - ' 'ft---- left-Over Left-over bread can be used In •uch dishes as cheese fondue, bread pudding*, or for French or milk toast Drtp Cookies Drop cookies should be placed about one and one-half inches apsrt in neat spoonsful on the cooking sheet to allow for. spreading.
