FEC reports also revealed that Pellegrino University Professor Edward O. Wilson contributed $200 to the unsuccessful Congressional campaign of Ian A. Bowles '87.
Bowles, an environmentalist and former Capitol Hill staffer, lost to Norfolk County District Attorney William Delahunt in the Democratic primary to for the tenth district being vacated by retiring Rep. Gerry Studds (D-Cohasset).
After graduating magna cum laude in economics, Bowles worked in Washington for eight years. The highlight of these years was an appointment as Environmental Issues Adviser to the 1992 Clinton-Gore campaign.
In the aftermath of the primary, Bowles said he would continue to work for Democratic candidates in state and national elections this November and, if a Republican wins the 10th district race, "probably run again" in 1998.
"Being politically conscious and politically active are two different things, and I think once you're politically active, you'll always be," said IOP volunteer Massy Tadjedin '99. "I hope a lot of people here will take the same active approach as Mr. Bowles."
