So they hoped that Illinois Freshman Senator Charles Percy, 47, would keep it crisp when he rose to deliver an encomium to Everett McKinley Dirksen, who was the club's honored guest. Like a Big Ten cheer leader, Percy waved flash cards bearing each letter of Dirksen's full name. " 'E' is for Effectiveness," he began, and proceeded to expatiate on how effective Ev is.
