- Michigan State Universiy Professor of Political Science David Rohde delivers a talk entitled, "The Causes and Consequences of Partisan Conflict in American Politics" at the MSU Main Library. Rohde discusses the reality of power politics, candidates submitting to party leadership to secure support for re-election, and a shift in power in party politics from party leaders to committees. He also says that the growing trend of differing policy positions within parties may be attributed to the advent of the primary system where voters have more influence on the candidate than party. Rohde answers questions from the audience. Rohde is introduced by MSU Librarian Ruth Ann Jones. Part of the Michigan State University Libraries' Colloquia series.
