It is pat terned directly after the Repub lican Convention to be held in San Francisco this summer. The goal of the mock conven-1 tion activities is to give those stu dents who are interested the chance to acquaint themselves with the happenings of a political convention. Although many feel that the endorsement of their par ticular candidate is the most im portant thing, the basic idea is | that of a learning experience.

Goldwater will speak in McArthur Court the afternoon preceding the opening of the con vention. Later that evening, Rep John 1 V. Lindsay of New York, a liberal, will be the keynote speaker.
