He set off to meet the voters. But the aim in Waldie's walk was not quite that, as he strode up the concrete highways and country roads of California, through shopping centers, college cam- puses and farm clusters, into cities and suburbs, hand out to greet each person encountered, the pleasant grin - Tarm and personal, "My name is Waldie. I hope you'll vote for me for governor," with a little coterie of volunteers flocking behind to thrust a pamphlet at each passerby and gather nam'. This turned out to be the most extensive encounter between candidate and voter of the entire 1974 campaign. For the human satisfaction that came from meeting directly so many People Waldie later said it was worth the whole arduous, plodding, interminable ordeal. "I love this. I don't mean to be effusive, but I really do like the experience. In all my years of politics, I've done what politicians do, talk to people '7 in the power centers.

Lloyd ii ABSTRACT In 1953 a small, seemingly insignificant, church was founded in Winter Park, Florida. By the early 1970s, Calvary Assembly of God, a church that had started with a dirt floor, was declared one of the fastest growing churches in America with membership easily reaching over several thousands.1 In the late 1970s and 1980s, it became a major religious and political force in central Florida so much so that it had received visits from then presidential hopefuls Pat Robertson and Vice President George Bush.

We went through the dust and noise of major reconstruction and enlargement and concen - trated the most disruptive part of the works during the summer so that our students could enjoy their year in Bologna and we did not need to face the huge additional cost of renting alternative spaces in town. And, we succeeded! Not only have we reached our goal of $6 million, but with new committments received at the time of publishing this booklet, we are now in a position to accelerate the repayment of the building renovation loan. We would like to celebrate with you this incredible success story. 90 percent of our donors to the campaign are alumni. Many have given individually, many through a class gift. What’s im - portant is the exceptional, generous and overwhelming response that alumni and friends have offered to make this project become a reality. Grazie mille… Ad honorem ROBERT J.
