Cohen told Hillel J. Hoffman, assistant director of news communications at University Communications at Temple University, that "It's good to see students from Temple in the capitol, because students from Central Pennsylvania have dominated the placement of interns in Harrisburg. ( Temple's) Pennsylvania Capital Semester is a great program for students because internships can lead to jobs. Sometimes interns can even influence policy. I'm delighted that Temple is participating, and I hope that other colleges and universities in the Philadelphia region will follow its lead."

Famous quotes containing the words legislative and/or fellows:
“I find it profoundly symbolic that I am appearing before a committee of fifteen men who will report to a legislative body of one hundred men because of a decision handed down by a court comprised of nine men—on an issue that affects millions of women.... I have the feeling that if men could get pregnant, we wouldn’t be struggling for this legislation. If men could get pregnant, maternity benefits would be as sacrosanct as the G.I. Bill.”
—Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
“All generous minds have a horror of what are commonly called “facts.” They are the brute beasts of the intellectual domain. Who does not know fellows that always have an ill-conditioned fact or two that they lead after them into decent company like so many bull-dogs, ready to let them slip at every ingenious suggestion, or convenient generalization, or pleasant fancy? I allow no “facts” at this table.”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)
