Show A Word from the Director Welcome to the second edition of the Hinckley Journal of Politics. We are proud of the dedicated efforts of Jill Burton and John Meyer, our student editors. They have spent many long hours soliciting entries, assisting with the choice of articles, editing copy, assisting the writers, and getting all of this into a publishable form. Through the entire process Dalmas Nelson, Professor Emeritus assisted them. Dalmas was instrumental in the editing process. Known by many of his adoring former students as the "man with the red pen," Dalmas Nelson continues a tradition of assisting students to do their very best writing. We are fortunate to have Dalmas1 efforts in our final edition. We also tip our hats to the editorial board members for their strong and persistent work. We are thankful to our authors. It takes a rare bit of courage to write an article, have it reviewed, survive the editing process, and then see it in print. For our writers, that courage will be greatly rewarded. Last year when our journal was born, we had many calls from people in active political life that commented on how important the student articles were to them. Our writers were able to complete the full cycle of good research. They had real impact on real politics. We expect our current authors to do no less. Beyond the importance of the research in these articles is the aid such a published article can have for placement in graduate schools or in employment. One of our students was placed last year for graduate work at the London School of Economics. One of the professors at the school commented that the article played a strong role in the student's selection. We invite, you, the reader to see for yourself how superbly undergraduate students at the University of Utah can write on political subjects. The institute is proud it is able to sponsor such writing and even more proud that the excellence within is all the product of our students. Finally, we recognize and honor the impact of our founder Robert H. Hinckley, who said "every student a politician," by the publication of this journal. Mr. Hinckley would be proud that the written word is another tool by which a student may become a politician. Ted Wilson, Director 1 |
