What are the potentially negative consequences of an undeniably
good public policy? Under the Influence examines how the Elks, one
of the oldest lodge-based voluntary associations in America, may
have been impacted by government policies such as DUI laws. To
examine this empirically, author John C. Mero conducted interviews
with fifty-five California and Florida Elk Exalted Rulers. What
emerges from the interviews is a voluntary association in
transition: having been affected by stricter DUI laws and other
government policies over the past few decades, the Elks are
reevaluating their approach to associational life. They have
demonstrated a willingness to change with the times since their
founding as the Jolly Corks in 1884, and-in response to the
unintended consequences of more recent government policies-the Elks
are seeking new opportunities to contribute to American civil
society.
