During the previous five years as editor of the Gavel—^it was always a matter of pride with me to put out a punctual magazine. It may not have been the best—^but it was always on time. You might say that when I shatter a reputation—I really shatter a reputa tion. Not one—^not two—not three—but all four issues have been late. Rather an impressive record. I would like to blame it on the printer—^but it just doesn't fit. I'd like to blame the contributors—but they are innocent. No, I'm afraid the blame rests with the editor. After all I do take all the praise—so why shouldn't I take all the blame? But wait until next year! Published by Cornerstone: A Collection of Scholarly and Creative Works for Minnesota State University, Mankato,3 Speaker & Gavel, Vol. 1, Iss. 4 [], Art. 1 106 SPEAKER AND GAVEL PRESIDENT'S PAGE STATE OF THE UNION Since the union of DSR and TKA in Denver last August, many people have been doing much vs^ork in order to get the new society off the ground. Our National Conference Committee, chairmaned by Dr. Robert Huber of the University of Vermont, was at work before the Denver meeting planning this conference. I join the representatives of 73 chapters in commending them upon giving us a conference interspersed with pleasure and profit. The Ritual Committee headed by Professor Patrick Marsh of the University of Wyoming produced not one but two rituals—short and long form. The short form was used this afternoon in our model initiation. Dr. P. Merville Larson, Texas Tech, Chairman of the Standards Committee, has been busy processing inquiries from colleges and universities desiring membership in DSR-TKA. He has received 14 requests since last September. All of the paper products of the new soeiety had to be revised: certificates, charters. Speaker of the Year awards. Distinguished Alumni awards. National Conference awards, as well as the die for our new key and our new seal. After some four months of negotiations. Dr. Kenneth Hance, Michigan State University, our treasurer, reports that, at last all of the resources of the two former societies now belong to Delta Sigma Rho-Tau Kappa Alpha. Dr. H. L. Ewbank, Jr., Purdue University, our seeretary, has processed 117 membership applications to date. This is a goodly number since most member ship applications reach the secretary after the National Conference. A number of our regions, of which there are ten, have already engaged in regional conferences. Dr. Thorrel Fest, Chairman of the Distinguished Alumni Award Committee, will present at this conference a number of Dis tinguished Alumni whom we shall honor. We are highly pleased with this activity. Each year this committee will select a limited number of our out standing alumni whose lives and services exemplify the heritage and ideals of DSR-TKA. Through these awards we should strengthen the ties and loyalties between our alumni, some 20,000 men and women, and our aetive member ship. Professor Annabel Hagood, Chairman of the Speaker of the Year Award Board will announce at this Conference the first Speaker of the Year Award to be given by Delta Sigma Rho-Tau Kappa Alpha. I am sure you all agree that the work of this board in choosing a Speaker of the Year annually is a responsibility and ehallenge of which DSR-TKA should be proud. Through our Speaker of the Year award we say to the nation, "Here is a speaker who, during the past year, engaged in the kind of communication on pubhc issues which our society regarded as intelligent, responsible, and effective—the kind of speaking for which Delta Sigma Rho-Tau Kappa Alpha stands and is proud to honor." Dr. James McBath of the University of Southern California, Chairman of the Research Committee, reports that sales on the revised DSR-TKA Argu mentation and Debate text are running far ahead of sales of the first edition. This good news means additional revenue for our treasury. We are highly pleased with the first two issues of the Speaker and Gavel. Our congratulations to our editor. Dr. Charles Goetzinger of the University of Colorado. Many of you know that DSR came to the wedding in Denver last August with a magnificent dowry. Much of the credit for the financial solidarity of https://cornerstone.lib.mnsu.edu/speaker-gavel/vol1/iss4/1 4 et al.: Complete Issue 1(4) SPEAKER AND GAVEL 107 DSR, and now, DSR-TKA, can be attributed to the financial wizardry of om- trustee Bill Buehler of The University of Kansas. It is a rarity to find a pro fessor who knows much about Wall Sti'eet cash and collateral. How fortunate we are to have this financial tycoon—fiscalizer as our trustee. To members of the National Council, to members of committees.

  • Reforming the Presidential Nominating Process
    REFORMING THE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATING PROCESS PAUL T. DAVID* It is the function of the presidential nominating process to identify the candidates who can be made the subject of a presidential election; it is the function of the general election to make the final choice. Because of this characteristic difference in function, the nominating process differs from the general election process in respects that are fundamental to the manner in which each should be conducted. An election for President, as long as the two-party system holds together, is essenti- ally a choice between two candidates, each of whom was formally identified some time in advance, has become familiar to the voters through active campaigning, and has the support in the election of a permanently organized national political party. None of these features is true of the nominating process. It has to begin in the first place by ascertaining the alternatives among whom a choice may be made, seldom deals with a choice between two candidates and only two, frequently involves a comparison between some candidates who are well known and others who are little known and goes on inside the political party from which support will be obtained-after the choice has been made. Much of what is most important in the nominating process occurs before there is any short list of definite candidates on whom to concentrate attention. These aspects of the process will be neglected here, moving on immediately to special char- acteristics of the nominating choice that become apparent after the field of candidates for a party nomination has become relatively clear.' SOME CHARACTErISTICs OF PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATING CHOICE I.

Biographical Note LeRoy Collins was born in Tallahassee on March 10, 1909. He graduated from Leon High School in Tallahassee and received a degree in law from Cumberland University in Birmingham, Alabama. He returned to Tallahassee and married Mary Call Darby, the great-granddaughter of Richard Call who had twice served as Territorial Governor of Florida. Soon after his marriage to Mary Call, Collins was elected as the representative of Leon County to the Florida House of Representatives in 1934. He served in this position until 1940 when he filled the term of the late William Hodges in the Florida Senate. Collins purchased the Call family home "The Grove" in 1941 and shortly thereafter resigned his position from the Florida Senate to join the Navy in 1942.

  • Fp37sum Leroy Collins This Is an Interview with Leroy Collins, Former Governor of Florida. the Interview Was Conducted in Tallah
    FP37sum LeRoy Collins This is an interview with LeRoy Collins, former governor of Florida. The interview was conducted in Tallahassee, Florida, by Jack Bass and Walter De Vries on May 19, 1974. The interview is from the Southern Oral History Program in the Southern Historical Collection, University of North Carolina Library, Chapel Hill. pp. 1-3: Collins opens the interview by discussing the senatorial race in 1968 in which he ran against Ed Gurney. He says the choice was simple: vote for a liberal--himself--or vote for a conservative--Ed Gurney. He adds that during the political campaign the liberal-conservative difference was based "almost wholly" on race. And it was the race issue that defeated him, he says. In the previous election, Collins recalls that the subject of race was not mentioned in the gubernatorial race, and blacks were not demanding political stances on this issue. Collins then describes George Wallace's popularity in Florida in 1968. He focuses on Wallace's well- financed and coordinated campaign, and the fact that a vote for Wallace was a vote against LeRoy Collins who stood as a liberal on the race issue. pp. 4-8: Collins refers to a speech he gave the previous evening to an audience filled with blacks and whites. The speech reviewed race relations since Brown versus The Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas (1954), and he paid tribute to blacks' progress. He also said in this speech that the gates opened to desegregation, civil rights, and opportunities as a result of people dying together, going to jail together, marching to Washington, and other such pressures to change.
