Skidmore - Indian River cordially invites alumni, parents, and friends to a luncheon welcoming special guests President Philip A. Glotzbach and Marie B. Glotzbach.

Join Ron Seyb, Joseph C. Palamountain, Jr. Chair in Government and Associate Professor of Government, for an intriguing lecture about Super PACs followed by lunch. The language of campaign finance has always been fluid, with terms such as independent expenditures, bundling, soft money, and 527 group seemingly leaving the lexicon as quickly as they entered it. It is fair to say, however, that no provision of campaign finance law has received more play in a presidential campaign year as Super PAC has in this cycle. Even Stephen Colbert has joined the debate over Super PACs by forming his own Super PAC, the Definitely Not Coordinating with Stephen Colbert Super PAC, to highlight, in his view, the absurdities of current campaign finance law.

This talk will seek to demystify Super PACs by arguing that while Super PACs may appear to be a new and novel entry into American political campaigns, they are actually a predictable consequence of the Supreme Courts campaign finance rulings extending back to the Courts holding in Buckley v. Valeo in 1976. This talk will also address how Super PAC activity may be influencing the race for the Republican presidential nomination. It will contend that, pace Mr. Colbert, Super PACs can be as much a headache for as a help to a candidates presidential campaign.

For eight days between December 1, 2007 and January 12, 2008, Sharon Hayes walked from the New Museum at Bowery and Prince Streets in lower Manhattan to a different site of public address, stopping at street corners every few blocks and speaking a single, repeated love address to an anonymous and unnamed lover. Drawing from sources such as De Profundis, Oscar Wilde's letter to Lord Alfred Douglas, and slogans from early gay Liberation parades in New York City, the "love address" uses so-called private speech to get to the emotional imbrication of promise and disappointment in collective political action.

Part of a series of works by Hayes that deal with the relationship between personal and political desire and between love and politics, "I March In The Parade Of Liberty, But As Long As I Love You I?m Not Free", raises questions about war, the emotional landscape of protest actions and public speech.
