Broadcaster Press 7 April 19, 2016 www.broadcasteronline.com Former USD Political Science Professor Alan Clem Dies Alan Clem, a longtime political science professor and researcher at the University of South Dakota, died Monday of a heart attack at age 87 in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. As a researcher, he provided valuable analysis to the media about campaigns and elections. In the classroom, his students included NBC newsman Tom Brokaw and former U.S. Sen. Larry Pressler. “Dr. Alan Clem was my most wonderful and probably most influential professor. He had a great impact on my life,” Pressler, a 1964 political science graduate of USD, said in a statement. “He was one of the greatest men in the University of South Dakota's history.” Clem’s interest in political science grew after serving in Washington as press secretary for two Nebraska congressmen in the 1950s, said one of his sons, Andrew Clem, who followed in his father’s footsteps and teaches political science at Sweet Briar College in Sweet Briar, Virginia. Alan Clem joined the USD faculty in 1960 and served as department chair from 1976 to 1978. He became professor emeritus in 1996 and taught part-time until 2006. His special courses concerned political parties and election campaigns, Congress, political geography and research methods. He was drawn to USD largely because of the quality of the program built by William O. Farber, said another son, Chris Clem, of Sioux Falls, who is retired from Wells Fargo. “USD was the great beneficiary of having both of them here at the same time for a number of years,” he said. “My dad would be the straight man to Farber, who was the entertainer.” In the 1960s, Courtesy Photo: USD Archives and Special Collections Clem started researching South NBC newsman Tom Brokaw interviews USD political science professor Alan Clem, who died Monday.
