Chavez is the author of Out of the Barrio: Toward a New Politics of Hispanic Assimilation, which chronicles the largely untold story of Hispanic progress and achievement and addresses the implications of bilingual education, voting rights, immigration policy, and affirmative action. Chavez currently heads the Center for the New American Community, which grew out of her work on multiculturalism as a John M. Olin Fellow at the Manhattan Institute. The Center seeks to foster a renewed commit- ment to a common American civic culture and shared identity among the many diverse people who built this nation and live in it today. It sponsors conferences, speakers, and a quarterly newsletter. Many know Chavez from her regular appearances on PBS's weekly public affairs program "To the Contrary," CNN's weekday morning show "Crier & Co.," and as a 1992 election commentator for the "The McNeil- Lehrer Newshour." She has been a regular contributor to national Public Radio and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation on national politics, for- eign affairs, and domestic policy and has appeared on various network programs. She writes frequently for a variety of publications, including USA Today, Fortune, and The Wall Street Journal. From 1977 to 1983, Chavez served as editor of the national award-win- ning quarterly journal of the American Federation of Teachers, American Educator. From 1983 to 1985, she served as staff director and chief executive offi- cer of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights. She directed studies on dis- crimination based on race, sex, national origin, religion, age, and handicap. In 1986, Chavez won the Republican nomination for U.S. Senator from Maryland, but lost in the general election. The following year, she became president and chief executive officer of U.S. English, a 350,000 member public interest group. Appointed by President Ronald Reagan in 1988, Chavez served as the chairman of the National Commission on Migrant Education until 1992. Currently, she serves as the only U.S. expert on the United Nations Human Rights Subcommission, a 26-member international body, elected by members of the United Nations Human Rights Commission. Chavez and her husband, Christopher Gerten, reside in Bethesda, Maryland. They have three children. THOMAS M. REAVLEY Thomas M.

IN MEMORY OF ODELL SEAY McCONNELL Born January 29,1897, Helena, Montana Died May 7,1992, Los Angeles, California My Philosophy To live as nobly as I can And be in all respects, a man. To take my share of good or ill, Rely on hope and honor still. To keep ambition's fires aflame; Strive for perfection, not for fame. To share a life of happiness With those good friends in whom I'm blest. To be the same when no one's near, As when I am with friends most dear. To be courageous, undismayed, By all mistakes that I have made. To cling to honesty always With peace of mind to close my days. To take from life the very best and live life with the keenest zest. To keep my self-esteem intact In what I think and how I act. To be concerned wholeheartedly For those in need of charity. To do for others willingly, What I would have them do for me. To give to others some love each day; Love is not love till given away. To keep my faith in God and truth As I have kept it since my youth. To leave some monument behind, My having lived to keep in mind. To do the best that I can do And let that stand my record true. These resolutions made by me Shall be my life's philosophy. - Odell S.

    SOUTHERN METHODIST UNIVERSITY Ninety-Third Annual COMMENCEMENT CONVOCATION Saturday Morning The Seventeenth of May Two Thousand and Eight at Half Past Nine MOODY COLISEUM THIS IS FLY SHEET - CURIOUS TRANSLUCENTS IRREDECENTS SILVER #27 TEXT DOES NOT PRINT GRAY THIS IS FLY SHEET - CURIOUS TRANSLUCENTS IRREDECENTS SILVER #27 TEXT DOES NOT PRINT GRAY SOUTHERN METHODIST UNIVERSITY In 1911, a Methodist education commission made a commitment to establish a major Methodist university in Texas. More than 600 acres of open prairie and $300,000 pledged by a group of Dallas citizens secured the university for Dallas, and it was chartered as Southern Methodist University. In appreciation of the city’s support, the first building to be constructed on the campus was named Dallas Hall. It remains the centerpiece and symbol of SMU. When the University opened in 1915, it consisted of two buildings, 706 students, a 35-member faculty, and total assets of $636,540. The original schools of SMU were the College of Arts and Sciences, the School of Theology, and the School of Music. SMU is owned by the South Central Jurisdiction of the United Methodist Church. The first charge of its founders, however, was that it become a great university, not necessarily a great Methodist university. From its founding, SMU has been nonsectarian in its teaching and committed to the values of academic freedom and open inquiry. Today, Southern Methodist University offers a comprehensive curriculum through Dedman College – the college of humanities and sciences – and six schools: Meadows School of the Arts, Edwin L. Cox School of Business, School of Engineering, Perkins School of Theology, Dedman School of Law, and Annette Caldwell Simmons School of Education and Human Development.

Brent Bozell III The impact of the Media Research Center in 2004 can’t be overstated. It’s important that we examine what we did so successfully last year because it serves as a benchmark for what needs to be done going forward. In 2004 we unveiled our “Tell The Truth!” campaign, the most intensive effort ever to expose, confront, and neutralize the leftist media who, we pre- dicted correctly, were going to try everything, including character assassination, to elect a liberal to the Presidency while derailing the war on terror.
