WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1991

A lively debate between two noted political strategists has been arranged by Dr. Fred Balitzer; it is sponsored by the John Brown Cook Association.

Patrick H. Caddell is a former chief political strategist and research consultant to more than 100 congressional, gubernatorial, and presidential campaigns. Beginning in 1972, while an undergraduate at Harvard, Mr. Caddell conducted the research survey for the presidential campaign of George McGovern. Since then his clients have included the Senate campaigns of Ted Kennedy and Alan Cranston, and the gubernatorial campaigns of Mario Cuomo, Michael Dukakis, and Bob Casey.

Some of his clients have included AT&T, Centrust Bank, Coca-Cola Corporation, and Amnesty International. His articles and op-ed pieces regarding contemporary American politics have appeared in the Wall Street Journal and The New York Times.

Currently serving as the co-chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, Ed Rollins is responsible for guiding Republican campaigns in all 435 congressional districts.

Mr. Rollins has long been known as one of America's premier political strategists. He has served in the administrations of three Republican presidents: Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, and, most recently, Ronald Reagan. While serving as the assistant to the president for political affairs during Reagan's first term, President Reagan chose Mr. Rollins to serve as the national campaign director for his 1984 reelection-a landslide in American history, carrying 49 states for the Reagan- Bush ticket.

In addition to his success in the 1984 presidential campaign, Mr. Rollins has managed numerous political campaigns throughout the nation. He also served as the national chairman for the 1988 presidential campaign of Jack Kemp.

As author of a weekly election cycle column in the Los Angeles Times' Sunday Opinion section, Ed Rollins is sure to make a challenging partner to Pat Caddell.

An Evening with Thomas Jefferson

CLAY JENKINSON

TUESDAY, MARCH 5, 1991

The Athenaeum is proud to present former Pres. Thomas Jefferson, as interpreted by Dr. Clay Jenkinson.

Thomas Jefferson was a man of great complexity and inexhaustible ideas, as third president of the United States, founder of the University of Virginia, author of the Declaration of Independence and the Virginia Statue for Religious Liberty, scientist, farmer, slave owner, man of letters, architect, paleontologist, linguist, political theorist, diplomat, librarian, and Utopian.

In 1984 Clay Jenkinson created an historical characterization of Jefferson, as part of an award from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Since then he has brought the life and ideas of Jefferson to school- children, members of Congress, federal judges, and general audiences on more than 1,000 occasions. In May 1988 he addressed national legislators and aides at a congressional breakfast on Capitol Hill.

Jenkinson studied English literature from 1974-77 at the University of Minnesota. As a Rhodes scholar, he studied at Oxford and earned his bachelor's, master's and doctorate in Renaissance English language and literature.

Since 1981 Jenkinson has directed the Great Plains Chautauqua, a traveling humanities tent show funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities and various state humanities councils. He also taught at Pomona College from 1981 to 1984 as an instructor in English literature and assistant American secretary for the Rhodes Scholarship Trust.

The Challenges of Ethnic Diversity

JUDY CHU

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 6, 1991

Asians in the United States have historically been much slower to develop political organizations than other ethnic minority groups. This is often attributed to discriminatory laws that prevented Asian immigrants from becoming naturalized citizens until 1952. In fact, Asian immigration was minimal until President Johnson signed the 1965 immigration law. Asian nations had previously been restricted by exclusion and quota laws dating back to the late 1800s.

In April 1990 Judy Chu was elected mayor of Monterey Park, a city in which 39 percent of the voters are Asian. She is the only Chinese-American woman mayor, and one of only two Chinese-American mayors in the United States. In November 1985 Chu had been elected to the Garvey School District Board of Education, and in April of 1988 to the Monterey Park City Council as the candidate with the highest number of votes. She is considered one of the Southland's most prominent and promising Asian politicians.

Dr. Chu has a PhD in clinical psychology, and is a professor in the psychology department at East Los Angeles College. Having taught classes in Asian- American studies at UCLA and Cal State University L.A., she has also published many articles on topics concerning Asian-Americans. She co-authored and co- edited the book, Linking Our Lives: Chinese American Women of Los Angeles (1984).

If you would like to join us for Dr. Chu's 5:30 reception, 6:00 dinner, and 7:00 address, please return the enclosed reservation coupon below.
