Make plans to hear Paul Beck, dean of the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences at Ohio State University, analyze the presidential election when he speaks on Nov. 13 at 7 p.m. in the Ford Academic Complex Recital Hall at Millsaps College.
Beck’s lecture that is entitled “What Just Happened?” is part of the Millsaps College Arts & Lecture Series.
Beck has research and teaching interests in political parties, public opinion and voting behavior.

He is co-primary investigator of a national survey study of the 2004 electorate, which will continue this research program. He is also a member of the Comparative National Election Project, which brings the U.S. into comparison with more than a dozen other democracies.
Tickets for the Nov. 13 program are $10 each and $5 for students. Admission is free for Millsaps students. For more information, phone 601-974-1043.
