Smith* Listen with care to this, now, and a god will arm your mind. Square in your ship 's path are Seirenes, crying beauty to bewitch men coasting by; woe to the innocent who hears that sound,1 INTRODUCTION After the elections of 1996, it is clear that the campaign finance regulation system for federal elections is not working. At the presidential level, the system is in danger of becoming a mockery. Despite spending limits designed to keep campaign costs lower, it is estimated that, upon final tally, some $800 million will actually have been legally spent on the 1996 presidential race.2 At the con- gressional level, parties, candidates and interest groups have learned how to work around legal restrictions on contributions. The result is an increasingly dishonest campaign in which advertisements touting candidates are used for "party building," advertisements intended to help elect or defeat candidates pretend not to advocate such outcomes, and parties are forced to campaign independently of their candidates.3 * The author is an Associate Professor of Law at Capital University Law School and an adjunct scholar at the Cato Institute.

    UMass MAGAZINE SPRING 2007 VOLUME 10 NUMBER 2 Marty Meehan’s Bold New Vision: ‘The Critical Time Is Now’ Page 16 Dear Alumni, Parents and Friends: It has been my great honor and privilege to serve as your interim chancellor for the past year. I will always treasure the many new friends and colleagues that I have had the pleasure of getting to know during this time. UMass Lowell was literally created and built under the strong and wise leadership of former Chancellor Bill Hogan. Under the leadership of the next Chancellor Marty Meehan, I am sure that the University will experience a renaissance with renewed energy and a new spirit of unity and commitment. During my year at the helm, I have striven to maintain the momentum from the Hogan epoch and to prepare the way for the Meehan era. I set out 14 goals for this year last fall and, with the steady support of the faculty, staff and students, we have been able to achieve the majority of them and made progress on all of them. My number one goal was to improve the student experience, principally through the initiation of a freshman convocation to start the school year. This event was enthusiastically attended and highly motivational. It led to the great pumpkin carving event and participation in a new world record! Other important accomplishments have been a reform of the campus budget process along with a necessary belt-tightening; the preliminary design and siting of the nano- and bio-manufacturing building; start of the reconstruction of the IT infrastructure; continuation of the renovation of key areas; important progress on the campus transformational plan; and establishment of a plan to resolve Title IX issues.

A Message from Dean Rajini Srikanth We hope you and your loved ones are all doing well and keeping safe in this anxious period of pandemic disruption. The challenges that every country is facing forces each of us to probe deep within ourselves and consider what we cherish, what we value as our guiding principles for living, and how we hope to connect and sustain meaningful connections with our fellow humans, near and far. The students at UMass Boston, like yourselves, are engaged in keeping their communities functioning – being first responders, working at grocery stores, helping to provide meals, assisting at senior centers, answering calls at help desks, and creating virtual support networks where none exist. They and you do the crucial work that sustains us through the current turbulence and enables us to look ahead to a time of gradually restored normalcy. Beloved alumni, your accomplishments animate us! On March 25, five alumni showed us how to keep our spirits high and anticipate the future eagerly.
