Dukakis near nominatioiP a
in final primaries round 9 e1
From Associated Press
Michael Dukakis converted doz
ens of delegates to his cause on Mon
day and said he was looking forward
to clinching the Democratic presi
dential nomination in Tuesday’s fi
nal round of primaries. Jesse Jack-
son promised a firm but polite push
on platform and rules issues at the
party’s convention.
Vice President George Bush, who
wrapped up the Republican nomi
nation weeks ago, spent the day cam
paigning in California.
Dukakis’ aides have confidently
predicted for weeks their man would
amass the 2,081 delegates needed
for the nomination by the time the
primaries ended. And with one day
remaining until then, they were leav
ing nothing to chance.
The Massachusetts governor
picked up 60 delegates during the
day, increasing his total to 1,874.
That left him 207 short of the total
needed, and aides said he would
pick up that many and more from
the 466 at stake in primaries in Cali
fornia, New Jersey, Montana and
New Mexico.
“This has been a great 15 months.
I’m excited about what happened
and I’m looking forward, if all goes
well, to a decisive victory ... so we
can lock up the nomination,” Duka
kis said as he campaigned in Califor
nia.
More than 40 of Dukakis’ fresh
delegates came from Kentucky,
where Gov. Wallace Wilkinson led
the way. Wilkinson and many other
delegates there had been supporting
drop-out candidate Albert Core Jr.
Jackson still spoke of chances for a
California upset as he made the final
rounds of his campaign and ar
ranged a 30-minute paid televised
appeal in several of the state’s large
cities. But his talked turned increas
ingly to the pre-convention bargain
ing that lies ahead.
He said he would push Dukakis to

WASHINGTON (AP) — Michael
Dukakis launched his final drive to
the Democratic presidential nomi
nation with a 150-delegate week-
long surge that positioned him to go
over the top in the final round of
primaries Tuesday.
Much of that surge came courtesy
of “super delegates,” the party lead
ers and elected officials who have
heavily favored Dukakis, to the cha
grin of Jesse Jackson.
In addition, the Massachusetts
governor has been racking up en
dorsements from party leaders and
politicians as well as converting dele
gates who had been pledged to the
suspended candidacies of Sens. Al
bert Gore Jr. and Paul Simon.
“He’s been on a roll,” said Susan
Brophy, deputy director of delegate
selection for the Dukakis campaign.

Jackson, who finished first or sec

party rules as well, particularly those
dealing with selection of delegates in
future campaigns.
In all he said, however, Jackson
also was careful to add, “We can re

BEAUMONT (AP) — Ethel Em
mons’ students affectionately ad
dress her as “Magistra,” Latin for
teacher. But after more than 30
years, she is bidding a fond “vale” to
teaching Latin in Beaumont public
schools.
Emmons, 70, traces her love of
Latin to her childhood in Minden,
La. “It goes back to my grandfather
who was a Latin professor in col
lege,” she said. “He would hold me
in his lap and read Latin poetry. I
just loved the sound of it.”
In Beaumont, Emmons began tea
ching in the old South Park school
district. After the merger of the
Beaumont school districts, she split
her time between Central and West
Brook senior high schools.
As she helped her West Brook
students prepare for finals last week,
Emmons ambled gently around the
room, enunciating Latin with a slight
Southern lilt. Stopping to contem
plate a fine point of language or
mythology, she sometimes stroked
her chin and squinted at the ceiling.
But if her students got out of
hand, she quickly reigned them in
with a stern look and a point pf the
finger, adding firmly, “Class, you
know I can be as mean as Hades.”
Most students take Latin for prac
tical reasons, Emmons said. They see
the language as a way of learning
more about English and building
their vocabulary. Her challenge is
getting her students to love Latin as
much as she does.
To enliven the study of the lan
guage, Emmons has special cele
brations each year to mark the birth
day of the poet Vergil. On
Halloween, she and the students
tour the Hades of Roman mythology
with students taking the parts of
Charon, the Styx ferryman, and
Cerberus, the ferocious, three
headed dog.
Emmons’ students translate every
thing from birthday songs to football
cheers into Latin. At some football
games and pep rallies, the Latin stu
dents clap and cheer, “Eamus! Pug-
namus! Vincanus noctu! lo! lo! Sic
est! Sic est!” or translated: “Let’s go!
Let’s fight! Let’s win tonight! Hey!
Hey! All right! All right!”
“People think they (the cheers)
are weird, but we laugh about it and
enjoy it,” she said with a smile.
Her students also have partici
pated in the Junior Classical League
over the years, which has taken them
to competitions throughout the
