Walkin4 Lawton Takes A Seat Fresh out of the real world of legislative politics came Sen. Lawton Chiles to the University of Florida's spring semester 1989 to teach none other than POS 4424 - Legislative Politics. Chiles, who earned a reputation as he campaigned around F lorida on foot, also became LlF's first occupant of the Manning Dauer Eminent Scholar Chair. Ending a 30-year political career, Chiles provided that LlF President Marshall Criser called a once-in-a- lifetime opportunity for graduate and undergraduate students to learn about government. Prior to the spring semester, political science department Chairman Wayne Francis discussed the government class with Chiles and he described Chiles as the only candidate for the Dauer Chair. This Eminent Scholar position is named for Manning Dauer, former chairman of UFis political science department and a professor for more than 50 years. He died in January 1987 and the Arts 8 Sciences building was renamed in his honor that spring. The $1 million position was supported by $600,000 from Dauerls estate and by supplementary state money. Chiles, who received his undergraduate and law degrees from UF, served three terms as senator and also served in the Florida House of Representatives from 1958 to 1966, and the state Senate from 1966 to 1970. - Dawn Douglass 28 Classes
