DELAND — The third annual
Stetson University Model U.S. Senate
has convened with one of the most
provocative programs of the series,
according to Jeff Hurley, chairman.
The seminar, sponsored by
Stetson's political science
department, features an address by
Senator Ernest Hollings, D., S.C., on
Friday in Elizabeth Hall auditorium.
Hollings' address is sponsored by the
Artists and Lecturers Series.
The programs are open to the
public.
Students from colleges and
universities as far away as West
Virginia pose as actual counterparts
of actual senators and divide by
political parties and serve on various
committees in the consideration of
bills to be debated throughout the
seminar.
Trophies are awarded to
outstanding individual participants
and citations given to functioning
senators.
The four-day workshop focuses on
the legislative process of the United
States Senate. Participants write
legislation, and voice their opinions
on current issues facing Congress.
Major bills discussed include
relaxing environmental legislation to
meet the energy shortfall and the
"right to reply" bill.
Dr. Floyd M. Riddick, long-time
Parliamentarian of the United States
Senate, is also a participant in the
workshop. Dr. Riddick will play an
important role in any future
impeachment as the interpreter of the
rules of the Senate.
Congressman Bill Chappell, whose
district includes Volusia County and
Stetson, speaks at the luncheon
Friday in the Stetson Room.
The banquet Friday evening in the
Stetson Room features informal
remarks by Dr. Johns and Dr. Riddick.
Judge Harold Clark, retiring president of the Stetson Alumni Association
poses in the happy gesture of congratulations in welcoming
Leland Phillips as president and Ken Kirchman as the president-elect.
Two — four — or twelve for the See-Saw... as the Lambs sported a
marathon in raising funds for charity. They received "beautiful" help from
their little sisters.
