...association of devotees, where at least 1,500 faithful gather annually at college campuses in places like Kansas, Indiana, North Dakota and Oklahoma, all for the love of Latin, Darling is ostensibly among the most devoted. He started studying Latin his sophomore year at Roosevelt High School in San Antonio, and in typical Harvard-bound fashion, he skipped Latin II. At his first Texas JCL convention, Sterling decided on a whim to run for the position of state editor. He beat his opponent, starting a winning streak of six JCL and SCL elections.

These territories delivered 26 delegates to Gov. George W. Bush and, collectively, carried more sway than North Dakota.
