A preliminary inventory of these unprocessed files lists them in the order in which they were received. Files listed in the inventory MUST BE SCREENED by Archives staff before researchers can consult them. Before gaining access to these records, researchers must submit a list of files they wish to consult, including the numbers of the boxes in which the files are located and the file headings, to University Archivist Anne Turkos. Requests may be submitted by e- mail ([email protected]), by telephone (301-405-9060), in person in the Maryland Room, or by regular mail (Anne Turkos, Archives and Manuscripts Department, Hornbake Library, University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742). The University Archivist will contact individual researchers when screening is complete, and the files are ready for consultation. RECORDS OF THE PRESIDENT'S OFFICE: WILSON H.

Associated with Students for a Democrattc Society THE MISSISSIPPI FREEDOM DEMOCRATIC PARTY: BACKGROUND AND RECENT DEVELOPMENTS by STEVE llJAX The Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party was founded April 26, 1964 in order to create an opportunity for meaningful political expres­ sion for the 438,000 adult Negro Mississippians who traditionally have been denied this right. In addition to being a political instrument, the FDP provides a focus for the coordination of civil rights activity in the state and around the country. Although its memters do not necessarily think in these -terms, the MFDP is the organization above all others whose work is most directly forcing a realignment within the Democratic Party. All individuals and organizations who understand that ' when the Negro is not free, then all are in chains; who realize that the present system of discrimi­ nation precludes the abolition of poverty, and who have an interest in the destruction of the Dixiecrat-Republican alliance and the purging of the racists from the Democratic Party are potential allies of the MFDP.

    Trump Success? Conventional Measures in the Era of an Unconventional President

    Trump Success? Conventional Measures in the Era of an Unconventional President Jon R. Bond Texas A&M University [email protected] and Manny Teodoro Texas A&M University [email protected] Prepared for Presentation at the 115th Annual Meeting & Exhibition of the American Political Science Association August 29 – September 1, 2019 Washington, DC Trump Success? Conventional Measures in the Era of an Unconventional President Abstract Conventional indicators reported in CQ’s 2017 Presidential Support Study show that President Trump racked up a “Record Success Rate”, winning 100 percent of House votes on which he expressed a position. Although presidency scholars have long recognized that winning roll call votes is not an indication of presidential influence, Trump’s unconventional style and his willful ignorance of Congress and basic details of the policies he “supports” lead us to question whether the results of roll call votes should even be interpreted as presidential success. Including this unconventional president in the study of a still small n of presidents requires innovative indicators that do not rely exclusively on traditional Presidential Support Scores that compare members on a static zero to 100 scale. Taking cues from FiveThirtyEight and from the field of sabermetrics, this paper presents two novel metrics that estimate whether House members’ support for the 11 elected presidents from Eisenhower to Trump is higher or lower than should be expected relative to differing political conditions. One metric, Support Above Expectations (SAE), estimates whether members’ presidential support is higher or lower than should be expected given electoral conditions, partisanship, polarization. This metric builds on 538’s “Trump plus-minus” score.

Hatfield Approved as to style and content by: Glen Gordon. Member of Committee TO JANE Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2016 https://archive.org/details/1966marylandgube00hatf INTRODUCTION It is hypothesized that the salient open occupancy issue accounted for much of the variance in electoral preference in the 1966 Maryland Guber- natorial Election. We propose to validate this assertion by (1) establishing the existence of definite attitudes on integrated housing and political representation of such attitudes (2) verbal and quantitative analysis of candidates' campaigns and voter support in the primary and general elec- tion, and (3) analysis of the place occupied by the open occupancy issue in the campaign and the degree to which it determined electoral preference in this election.

    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: the CHILDREN WHO

    ABSTRACT Title of dissertation: THE CHILDREN WHO RAN FOR CONGRESS AND THE SCHOOL UP ON THE HILL: AN ORAL-INSTITUTIONAL HISTORY OF CAPITOL PAGE SCHOOL, 1926-1983 Darryl J. Gonzalez, Doctor of Philosophy, 2008 Dissertation directed by: Professor Barbara Finkelstein Department of Education Policy and Leadership Although the corpus of work on Congressional history is impressive, there is one aspect of life inside the Capitol that has been neglected for over 200 years. Young messenger boys, or Pages, have worked for Congress since its early sessions but have never received much attention. This dissertation traces the evolution of Capitol Page School and by doing so, also follows the evolution of the larger Page system. The purpose of the study is to find out what the historical record can reveal about the history of Capitol Page School. Once that story is told, conclusions can be drawn about things like institutional inertia in Congress, preserving tradition, unusual childhood occupations and informal civic education, among others. Using both a documents review and an oral history approach allowed for a rich description of the evolution of Capitol Page School. Chapter Two reports on Page culture before 1926, concentrating on the relationships between Members of Congress and the boys, and how Pages formed their own culture and community as adjuncts of the Congress. Chapter Three examines the social conditions that were present in the 1920s which forced the formation of a school specifically for Pages inside the Capitol, run as a private enterprise by an individual teacher, and the subsequent attempts to continue the school.
