The article comments on the progressive and the working class vote in California. Progressivism was a middle class movement, and while its leaders might strive to remedy the crassest abuses of industrial society, they were as fearful of concentrated labor power as of unregulated monopoly capitalism. In their zeal for moral reform and efficiency, they were often thrown into conflict with labor and immigrant-dominated political machines in cities. The interpretation that represents Progressivism as a political move by a disaffected middle class, as reformers frightened by the power of monopolistic corporations and fearful of organized labor, rests upon inferences drawn from public statements and, in a few instances, private thoughts of a leadership elite. Few attempts have been made to examine the other side of the coin and determine the response of labor leaders and the labor press. The conclusion that Progressivism was a middle-class movement has not been adequately tested against the voting records of metropolitan areas. It is the hypothesis of this paper that leaders of organized labor in California strongly endorsed Progressivism and that, though Progressivism was originally sustained by middle- and upper-class voters.

CONTESTS , *COLLEGE students , *PROFESSIONAL education , *UNIVERSITIES & colleges , *CYBERNETICS - Abstract
The article presents information on the First Student Paper Competition organized at Stanford, California by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). Although launched barely two years ago, the Student Paper Competition is proving to be a constructive force in computer science education at both graduate and undergraduate levels. Editorial and refereeing activities undertaken by graduate students translate into a type of professional development experience that is enriching for the participants and healthy for the profession as a whole. The active participation of an equal if not larger number of undergraduate students who submitted papers for the competition attests to the stimulation for scientific and professional growth among students in computer science everywhere. George E. Forsythe, who was a pioneer and who encouraged many of his colleagues to work toward the development of a computer discipline of widespread scientific value, strongly favored promoting the Student Paper Competition to serve this end. As a computer science department chairman he had encouraged the active participation of students in academic and administrative affairs at Stanford University and also at ACM. This example was the inspiration for the plan that graduate students take active and major roles in the management of the Competition.
