Bennett Johnston Papers Mss. 4473 1957-1997 LSU Libraries Special Collections BIOGRAPHICAL/HISTORICAL NOTE J. Bennett Johnston was born June 10, 1932 in Shreveport, Louisiana. Upon completion of his undergraduate studies at Washington and Lee University and the U. S. Military Academy he entered Louisiana State University School of Law. After graduating, Johnston entered the United States Army where he served as a 1st Lieutenant in the Judge Advocate General Corps in Germany from 1956-1959. In 1963, Johnston was elected to the Louisiana House of Representatives where he served as a floor leader. Johnston left the House in 1968 after winning a seat in the Louisiana Senate. Johnston served in the State Senate until 1972 when he was elected to the United States Senate. Johnston was a member of several influential committees during his Senate career including Appropriations, Budget, and Interior and Insular Affairs, later re-named Energy and Natural Resources, of which he was Chairman for eight years beginning in 1987. He also served on the Small Business Committee, the Special Committee on Aging, and the Select Committee on Intelligence. During the 94th Congress, he was asked by the Senate Democratic Caucus to chair the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. Throughout his tenure in the Senate, Johnston had many legislative triumphs in areas important to Louisiana including navigation, flood control, hurricane protection, and other natural resources programs. Among his most significant contributions was providing for the creation of nine National Wildlife Refuges and the preservation of more than 120,000 acres of valuable Louisiana inland wetlands. As a national leader in historic preservation Johnston passed legislation to create the New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park and the Cane River Creole National Historical Park honoring the oldest settlement in the Louisiana Purchase. Many consider Johnston’s crowning achievement to be passage of the National Energy Security Act. It was the most comprehensive package of energy related measures ever to be considered in Congress. Johnston ultimately served four six-year terms in the Senate before retiring in 1996. He is married to the former Mary Gunn of Natchitoches, Louisiana. They have four children Bennett, Hunter, Mary, and Sally. 4 J. Bennett Johnston Papers Mss. 4473 1957-1997 LSU Libraries Special Collections SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE The J.

    Women in the United States Congress: 1917-2012 Jennifer E. Manning Information Research Specialist Colleen J. Shogan Deputy Director and Senior Specialist November 26, 2012 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL30261 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Women in the United States Congress: 1917-2012 Summary Ninety-four women currently serve in the 112th Congress: 77 in the House (53 Democrats and 24 Republicans) and 17 in the Senate (12 Democrats and 5 Republicans). Ninety-two women were initially sworn in to the 112th Congress, two women Democratic House Members have since resigned, and four others have been elected. This number (94) is lower than the record number of 95 women who were initially elected to the 111th Congress. The first woman elected to Congress was Representative Jeannette Rankin (R-MT, 1917-1919, 1941-1943). The first woman to serve in the Senate was Rebecca Latimer Felton (D-GA). She was appointed in 1922 and served for only one day. A total of 278 women have served in Congress, 178 Democrats and 100 Republicans. Of these women, 239 (153 Democrats, 86 Republicans) have served only in the House of Representatives; 31 (19 Democrats, 12 Republicans) have served only in the Senate; and 8 (6 Democrats, 2 Republicans) have served in both houses. These figures include one non-voting Delegate each from Guam, Hawaii, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Currently serving Senator Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) holds the record for length of service by a woman in Congress with 35 years (10 of which were spent in the House).

  • Collection 93 Osborne, Ollie Tucker (1911-1994)
    Collection 93 Osborne, Ollie Tucker (1911-1994). Papers, 1927-1985 22 feet Ollie Tucker Osborne's papers detail the activities of one of Louisiana's leading advocates of women's rights during the 1970s. Ollie was extremely active in the League of Women Voters and the Evangeline ERA coalition. She attended conferences or workshops throughout the South. She was appointed to the 1977 state women's convention in Baton Rouge and was elected a state delegate to the national convention in Houston. She helped organize or coordinate a number of workshops and conferences in Louisiana on women's rights. Much of this often frenetic activity can be seen through her papers. Osborne was born in northern Louisiana and educated at Whitmore College and Louisiana State University. Just before graduation she married Louis Birk, a salesman for McGraw-Hill & Company, and moved to New York. After several false starts Osborne launched a career in public relations and advertising which she pursued for twenty years. This included some pioneering work in television advertising. Following the sudden death of Birk in 1952, Osborne returned to Louisiana where she met and married Robert Osborne, an English professor at the University of Southwestern Louisiana (now the University of Louisiana at Lafayette). During the next two decades she was busy as president of Birk & Company, a publisher of reading rack pamphlets. Osborne's introduction to politics at the state level was as an official League of Women Voters observer of the 1973 Constitutional Convention. Early in the year she determined that some on-going communication link was necessary to allay voter fear and apathy about the new constitution.

  • Wave Football: Dome Action, Homecoming at Gormley
    Tulane University Wave Football: Dome Action, Homecoming at Gormley July 24, 2008 1:30 AM Carol J. Schlueter [email protected] The Louisiana Superdome, home of Tulane football and one of the nation's premier athletics venues, will become Green Wave territory once again this fall as the season kicks off on Sept. 13 against East Carolina University, but Wave fans will be anticipating one season game in a different venue outdoors and steps away from the oaks in City Park. The Green Wave will take on Army in City Park's Tad Gormley Stadium on Oct. 4 for homecoming, while fans enjoy tailgating and celebrating around the stadium before the game. (Photo by Paula Burch-Celentano) For the first time since 2004, the Tulane homecoming game on Oct. 4 will take place in the 1937- era Tad Gormley Stadium, back in service after enduring extensive flooding due to Hurricane Katrina. Tulane will play Army in the homecoming contest at 2 p.m., one of five home games this season that will have an afternoon kickoff. The return to Tad Gormley in October has long been anticipated by the Wave faithful, who have fond memories of the 2002â“2004 homecoming games and celebrations held there. Count Charlotte Travieso in that number. “For alumni and the rest of us students, parents it's a much more welcoming and collegiate atmosphere, by the oak trees, near the expanse of Roosevelt Mall,” says Travieso, director of the Tulane Office of Alumni Affairs. As comfortable as it is at the Superdome, there's just something about a being outdoors at a college football game.
