Hollings' address is sponsored by the Artists and Lecturers Series. The programs are open to the public. Students from colleges and universities as far away as West Virginia pose as actual counterparts of actual senators and divide by political parties and serve on various committees in the consideration of bills to be debated throughout the seminar. Trophies are awarded to outstanding individual participants and citations given to functioning senators. The four-day workshop focuses on the legislative process of the United States Senate. Participants write legislation, and voice their opinions on current issues facing Congress. Major bills discussed include relaxing environmental legislation to meet the energy shortfall and the "right to reply" bill. Dr. Floyd M.
