elcome to the 2002/2003 Hinckley Institute of Politics Journal. We presentthe finest of Hinckley Institute undergraduate research in the area of politics and public policy.

The Hinckley Journal of Politics has several important goals. The first is to provide an incentive for students to not only look upon their undergraduate years as a way to learn, but also to provide new knowledge. The essence of a good aca-demic education is two way. Scholars not only learn, they also contribute to the body of knowledge.

We also seek to provide new knowledge to the political process. In recent years, several of our students’ articles have been used by practicing politicians to assist in important work leading to public debate and policy. It is satisfying for a student to see his or her work affect the real world.

Finally, we feel these articles express the idealism and joy of our political process. Our country greatly needs the influence of our youth. Void of cynicism and enthusiastic about the American political system, these students provide us all with a fresh outlook on issues deeply affecting America and the world.

There are many to thank. We are especially appreciative of the hard work of the editors, Ashley DiAna and Patrick Thurman. They have done yeoman work in making sure the journal reflects the highest standards. Thanks, too, for the many hard hours contributed to the journal’s Advisory Board and Faculty Advisor, Robert Benedict. Bob used his considerable research skills in working with the edi-tors and students on form and substance.

And, finally, thanks to the Political Science faculty and the faculty of the University of Utah for excellent teaching and guidance that produced students with the good judgment and skill to write important work in political science.

Sincerely,

Ted Wilson

Director, Hinckley Institute of Politics

he Hinckley Institute of Politics was established on

May 10, 1965 through the generous bequest of the Noble Foundation and Robert H. Hinckley, a long-time regent of the University of Utah, who served in Washington, D.C. from 1938 to 1946 and again in 1948. During those years he established and directed the Civilian Pilot Training Program, served as Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Air and as Director of Contract Settlement after WWII. The Hinckley Institute is dedicated to teaching students respect for practical politics and the principle of cit-izen involvement in government.

NTERNSHIPS

One of the unique activities of the Hinckley Institute of Politics is the internship program, of which approximately 200 students participate in annually. Internships are available locally, at the state level, and in Washington, D.C. Interns are offered a valuable opportunity for experience in the “real world” and to gain understanding of politics and public serv-ice that cannot be found in a classroom.

Legislative Preparation Class is offered every Fall Semester to students who are interested in serving internships with the Utah State Legislature. The goal of the class is to prepare stu-dents for the work they will engage in as interns with Utah State Senators or Representatives Spring Semester.

A program sponsored by the Huntsman Corporation enables the Hinckley Institute of Politics at the University of Utah to offer a seminar in practical politics. The primary focus in the seminar is face-to-face encounters between visiting politicians and the participating teachers. These sessions are supple-mented with formal classroom teaching. The purpose is to give teachers the incentive to pass enthusiasm for politics and community service on to their students.
