All rights reserved. Objective Oral history is a collection of an individual's memories and opinions. As such, it is subject to the innate fallibility of memory and is susceptible to inaccuracy. All researchers using these interviews should be aware of this reality and are encouraged to seek corroborating documentation when using any oral history interview. The Pryor Center's objective is to collect audio and video recordings of interviews along with scanned images of family photographs and documents. These donated materials are carefully preserved, catalogued, and deposited in the Special Collections Department, University of Arkansas Libraries, Fayetteville. The transcripts, audio files, video highlight clips, and photographs are made available on the Pryor Center website at http://pryorcenter.uark.edu. The Pryor Center recommends that researchers utilize the audio recordings and highlight clips, in addition to the transcripts, to enhance their connection with the interviewee. Transcript Methodology The Pryor Center recognizes that we cannot reproduce the spoken word in a written document; however, we strive to produce a transcript that represents the characteristics and unique qualities of the interviewee's speech pattern, style of speech, regional dialect, and personality. For the first twenty minutes of the interview, we attempt to transcribe verbatim all words and utterances that are spoken, such as uhs and ahs, false starts, and repetitions.

Averill, Jr.* I. INTRODUCTION The Law School at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock has both a short and a long history. In its current status, it is but ten years old. As a part of the University system for twenty years, it has barely passed adolescence. But as an institution of legal education, it can trace with pride its roots back to the previous century as the successor to the Arkansas Law School. Under all these circumstances, the Law School has served its constituency well. It is appropriate that a short history of this legal institution be written.1 Legal education as an intellectual and academic endeavor is not very old in this country.

  • Twelve Elections That Shaped a Century I Tawdry Populism, Timid Progressivism, 1900-1930
    Arkansas Politics in the 20th Century: Twelve Elections That Shaped a Century I Tawdry Populism, Timid Progressivism, 1900-1930 One-gallus Democracy Not with a whimper but a bellow did the 20th century begin in Arkansas. The people’s first political act in the new century was to install in the governor’s office, for six long years, a politician who was described in the most graphic of many colorful epigrams as “a carrot-headed, red-faced, loud-mouthed, strong-limbed, ox-driving mountaineer lawyer that has come to Little Rock to get a reputation — a friend of the fellow who brews forty-rod bug juice back in the mountains.”1 He was the Tribune of the Haybinders, the Wild Ass of the Ozarks, Karl Marx for the Hillbillies, the Stormy Petrel, Messiah of the Rednecks, and King of the Cockleburs. Jeff Davis talked a better populism than he practiced. In three terms, 14 years overall in statewide office, Davis did not leave an indelible mark on the government or the quality of life of the working people whom he extolled and inspired, but he dominated the state thoroughly for 1 This quotation from the Helena Weekly World appears in slightly varied forms in numerous accounts of Davis's yers. It appeared in the newspaper in the spring of 1899 and appears in John Gould Fletcher, Arkansas (Chapel Hill, NC: University of North Carolina Press, 1947) p. 2. This version, which includes the phrase "that has come to Little Rock to get a reputation" appears in Raymond Arsenault, The Wild Ass of the Ozarks: Jeff Davis and the Social Bases of Southern Politics (Philadelphia: Temple University Press, 1984), p.

    514us3$60Z 06-15-98 09:38:29 PAGES OPINPGT OCTOBER TERM, 1994 779 Syllabus U. S. TERM LIMITS, INC., et al. v. THORNTON et al. certiorari to the supreme court of arkansas No. 93±1456. Argued November 29, 1994ÐDecided May 22, 1995* Respondent Hill ®led this suit in Arkansas state court challenging the constitutionality of § 3 of Amendment 73 to the Arkansas Constitution, which prohibits the name of an otherwise-eligible candidate for Con- gress from appearing on the general election ballot if that candidate has already served three terms in the House of Representatives or two terms in the Senate. The trial court held that § 3 violated Article I of the Federal Constitution, and the Arkansas Supreme Court af®rmed. A plurality of the latter court concluded that the States have no author- ity ªto change, add to, or diminishº the age, citizenship, and residency requirements for congressional service enumerated in the Quali®cations Clauses, U. S. Const., Art. I, § 2, cl. 2, and Art. I, § 3, cl. 3, and rejected the argument that Amendment 73 is constitutional because it is formu- lated as a ballot access restriction rather than an outright disquali®ca- tion of congressional incumbents. Held: Section 3 of Amendment 73 to the Arkansas Constitution violates the Federal Constitution. Pp. 787±838. (a) The power granted to each House of Congress to judge the ªQuali- ®cations of its own Members,º Art. I, § 5, cl. 1, does not include the power to alter or add to the quali®cations set forth in the Constitution's text.
