1988: Analytical Frameworks
Political Science 320, The Presidential Election, taught by
Associate Professor Alexander Lamis, required students to follow
local and national political activity in a key state. Assignments
included subscribing to the major daily newspaper in the state
and attending a debate between Cuyahoga County Democratic and
Republican Party leaders. Explained Lamis to Campus News
reporter Kathleen McDermott, “I hope the students…
will be in a better position to analyze future presidential
elections and understand the big changes that are taking place
in the party system.”
