Woelfl Lecture in Political Science William M. Daley engages students in Woelfl Lecture Before delivering the Woelfl Lecture in Political Science, former Secretary of Commerce William M. Daley, who was also Al Gore's campaign manager in last year's presidential election, posed with his nephew John, a JCU junior, and the man who inspired the series, Fr. Paul Woelfl SJ, founder of the Political Science Department. For more than an hour last evening, William Daley told what it was like being Al Gore's campaign manager in perhaps the most incredible presidential election in U.S. history, and then took questions from a Jardine Room-full of students who acted as though they would have stayed for another hour.

Reporters have already made up their minds about their story and want to know how you fit into it. Daley, brother of Chicago Mayor Richard Daley and Secretary of Commerce during Bill Clinton's second term, delivered the Woelfl Lecture in Political Science, named in honor of Fr. Paul Woelfl SJ, who founded the department and who was in the audience. It's what separates us from most of the rest of the world. As you students travel, notice the participation people have, or don't have, in their government.
