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.”

Democrat Michael Dukakis led Republican George Bush in a campus poll.
