This generates a feeling of rr_soonsibility in the Communist for the quality
of the panes, m O also draws the attention of the whole Party organization
to the work of the young Conun-onist. Several candidates have read excellent
rrports on "Basic i'ec:.tu ee cf the Marxian Dialec,ical.Method," "The Victory
of tie. Great Cctober dacialist devolution," and "V. I. Lenin's Pooh, Chto
Delat', and t.: Ideoi.ogicnl C_undations of the Bolshevik Party." Discussion
of these reports was lively, with active participation by many Communists

Several good examples can be given to show how, in carrying out Party
missions, young Cosununist grow, show their a:n.lities, acquire good habits of
rational rnd nol`ic?.] work, nd broaden their outlook. Checking on how
missions are carried out, the Party organization follows the development of
every Party candidate and gradually assigns more serious tasks to him. For
example, Party candidate Comrade A. Arakelyan carried out several missions in
aiding the Komsomol organization of the mechanics faculty and is now a member
of the Komsomol Committee of the institute. Party candidates Comrades M.
Martirosyan and V. Khemchyan completed individual missions connected. with chats
on organization and with publication of the wall newspaper, after which they
were promoted to agitator positions. They have now been elected secretaries
of the faculty Komsomoi organizations. Candidate Comrade C. Aramyan was com-
missioned by the Party bureau to assist in the organization of a student scien-
tific society and is now director of that society. Another candidate, Comrade
K. Sa:-kisya.n, is directing a section of is student scientific society of the
mechanics faculty. Candidates Comrades A. Aresyan and E. ;afaryan ha re coped
well with their mission of directing DOEAIIM and DOSAV primary organizations at
the institute.
The practice at Party meetings of listening to reports by secretaries cf
faculty Party organizations on how Ccmmunists fulfill their Pasty missions
justifies itself.
The Party organization tries to train young Communists primarily f,r the
vanguard role in studies and for all-round preparation as qualified specialists.
This also determines the nature of Party missions. Many missions are connected
with the pcrt'.cioation of Party candidates and xembers in the student scientific
society, aidirg backward students, cooperation with profeCear and instructors,
and the organization of the educational process.
Most Part; candidates are outstanding students and table an active part in
the work of the student scientific society. They attend scien;Ifi.c conferences
and give reports on questions of practical scientific significance.
Young Communists must study the work of the whole Party organization. The
Party meeting plays an important educational role in this regard. Along with
Party members, candidates take part in preparing and 'tiec.:eeing questions at
Party meetings. At one meeting K. Sarkisyan, Party candidate and student of the
mechanics faculty, proposed establishing clo.ie ties with industry and aiding
workers and foremen in improving industrial methods and operational procedures.

Drawing Party candidates into active work and watching their devc1o ent,
the Party organization helps them to prepare for membership in the VKP().
In the past year, 21 persons became Party members.
Aside from this, however, there are serious shortcomings in the education
of Party caadidates and members. The Party bureau of the institute and the
faculty Party organization still do not know iiow to draw all Communists into
has been working out measires for increasing educational work with young Com-
munists and drawing them into active Party life. -- A. Oganesan, secretary,
