Political Science Meet Draws Southern Delegates

Five members of the TC Social Studies Department journeyed to New Orleans early in November for the 39th annual meeting of the Southern Political Science Association.

Making the trip were Mr. J. E. Spencer, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Gallien, Mr. Jerry Gilbert and Mr. Lewis Cannon.

Held Nov. 2-4 at the Jung Hotel, the discussions and papers presented ranged from “The Tradition of Constitutionalism” to “Physiological Aspects of Political Behaviors.”

At the first meeting, delegates heard papers read by University of Texas and Rice professors on “The Tradition of Constitutionalism.”

The “Coalition Theory,” “Explanatory Theory and Judicial Behavior,” and “Local Political Party Leadership,” were among the major topics the TC delegates heard discussed.
