Bowen papers, Archives and Special Collections, Ball State University Libraries - Page 4 - Dr. Otis R. Bowen papers SPEC.042 Biographical Note Otis R. Bowen was born near Rochester, Indiana, on February 26, 1918, to Vernie and Pearl Bowen. He attended high school in Francesville, Indiana, and later went on to receive his A.B. (1939) and M.D. (1942) from Indiana University. Bowen also holds 25 honorary degrees from schools such as Bethel College, Valparaiso University, and the University of Notre Dame. After interning at South Bend Memorial Hospital, he served in the medical corps of the United States Army Air Corps during World War II, from 1943 to 1946. He was with the first wave of Allied troops to land on Okinawa in 1945. Upon returning from the war, Bowen established a family medical practice in Bremen, Indiana, and continued to practice medicine until 1972. However, it is said that as governor and secretary he always had a prescription pad handy, recommending remedies for voters, colleagues, and members of the press. Growing up during the Franklin D. Roosevelt administration, Bowen felt that people were becoming too dependent on the government, and he joined the Republican Party in 1940. He began his political career in 1952 with his election as Marshall County coroner. Bowen served multiple terms as a member of the Indiana House of Representatives from 1956 to 1957 and 1960 to 1972. He served as minority leader, vice chairman for the Legislative Council, and most notably, Speaker of the House through four legislative sessions (1967, 1969, 1971, and 1972). In 1968, Bowen sought the Republican nomination for governor of Indiana, but he was defeated by Edgar Whitcomb. In 1972 he ran again, was elected, and served two terms from 1973 to 1981. He was the first governor of Indiana to serve two consecutive terms since 1851. His major accomplishments as governor included a major restructuring of the tax system to reduce the reliance on property taxes, major improvements to state park facilities, development of a statewide emergency medical services system, and adoption of a medical malpractice law that became the model for legislation for many other states. During 1978-79, Bowen was also Chairman of the National Governors' Conference, Republican Governors' Conference, and the Midwestern Governors' Conference. After leaving the governor's office, Bowen accepted a position as clinical professor of family medicine at the Indiana University School of Medicine. He also served as chairman of the Advisory Commission on Social Security from 1982 through 1984. In 1985, President Ronald W. Reagan nominated Bowen for the position of Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services. He was confirmed by the U.S. Senate with a vote of 93 to 2, making him the first medical doctor to serve in this position. He served as secretary until 1989. During this time he oversaw the development of the Medicare Catastrophic Coverage Act of 1988 and was deeply involved in AIDS education and research. Bowen also focused attention such issues as elderly care, family planning, fetal tissue research, cancer and arthritis education and research, and drug abuse treatment as well as medical liability and defensive medicine. In his personal life, Otis R. Bowen is a family man. He wed Elizabeth Ann Steinmann in 1939, and they had four children—Judy, Robert, Richard, and Tim. They were married 42 years, until Beth Bowen's death from cancer on January 1, 1981. In September 1981, he married childhood friend Rose Mary - Page 5 - Dr. Otis R. Bowen papers SPEC.042 Hochstetler Bowen. Sadly, Rose Bowen also died of cancer in January 1992. Bowen married Carol Lynn Flosenzier Mikesell, a former patient and Bremen native, in 1993. Following his term as Secretary, he retired to his home in Bremen, Indiana. In his retirement, he has spent his time traveling with his family and gardening. Throughout the 1990s, he also continued to serve as a member of several community and statewide organizations. His autobiography, Doc: Memories from a Life in Public Service, was published in 2000. Scope and Contents The collection consists of personal papers, photographs, audiovisual records, and artifacts ranging from 1903 to 2008 documenting the life and professional career Dr. Otis R. Bowen. Included are papers related to Dr.

  • Flooding the Border: Development, Politics, and Environmental Controversy in the Canadian-U.S
    FLOODING THE BORDER: DEVELOPMENT, POLITICS, AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROVERSY IN THE CANADIAN-U.S. SKAGIT VALLEY by Philip Van Huizen A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (History) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) June 2013 © Philip Van Huizen, 2013 Abstract This dissertation is a case study of the 1926 to 1984 High Ross Dam Controversy, one of the longest cross-border disputes between Canada and the United States. The controversy can be divided into two parts. The first, which lasted until the early 1960s, revolved around Seattle’s attempts to build the High Ross Dam and flood nearly twenty kilometres into British Columbia’s Skagit River Valley. British Columbia favoured Seattle’s plan but competing priorities repeatedly delayed the province’s agreement. The city was forced to build a lower, 540-foot version of the Ross Dam instead, to the immense frustration of Seattle officials. British Columbia eventually agreed to let Seattle raise the Ross Dam by 122.5 feet in 1967. Following the agreement, however, activists from Vancouver and Seattle, joined later by the Upper Skagit, Sauk-Suiattle, and Swinomish Tribal Communities in Washington, organized a massive environmental protest against the plan, causing a second phase of controversy that lasted into the 1980s. Canadian and U.S. diplomats and politicians finally resolved the dispute with the 1984 Skagit River Treaty. British Columbia agreed to sell Seattle power produced in other areas of the province, which, ironically, required raising a different dam on the Pend d’Oreille River in exchange for not raising the Ross Dam.

  • ABSTRACT CHAMBERS, CHERYL. Institutional
    ABSTRACT CHAMBERS, CHERYL. Institutional Racism: Is Law Used as a Tool to Perpetuate Racial Inequality? (Under the direction of Richard Della Fave.) Law is a mechanism we use to instigate social change and bring about equality. It is also the tool that has been used to institutionalize, legitimize and perpetuate inequality. In the past beliefs of racial inferiority and savagery may have resulted in legislation designed to perpetuate a group’s subordinate status. Laws and public policy are created within an historical and political context. Is there a connection between social climate and the advent of federal drug legislation? In this research, conflict and racial inequality perspectives are applied to the role of the economy and politics to foster understanding of opium laws in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, the Marihuana Tax Act of 1937, and the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986 and the contexts from which they emerged. It is hypothesized that an historical analysis of the Congressional discussions surrounding these drug laws will illustrate that competition and threat, economic and/or political, were present prior to the enactment of the laws. Analyses indicate that while economic and to a limited extent political competition between Chinese immigrants and white Americans affected the passage of the opium laws, economic and political competition had little effect on the passage of the Marihuana Tax Act or the Anti-Drug Abuse Act. While vilification of and anti-minority sentiment during the opium legislation was clear and recognizable, it was almost non-existent during the marijuana legislation, and present in only nuances in the 1980’s.

  • Minimized the Strategic National Stockpile: the $5.3 Trillion Question for Pandemic Preparedness Raised by the Ventilator Fiasco †
    How “Maximizing Shareholder Value” Minimized the Strategic National Stockpile: The $5.3 Trillion Question for Pandemic Preparedness Raised by the Ventilator Fiasco † William Lazonick and Matt Hopkins* Working Paper No. 127 July 21st, 2020 ABSTRACT With just 4.2 percent of the world’s population, the United States had, as of July 21, 2020, 26.0 percent of its confirmed Covid-19 cases and 23.1 percent of its deaths. The magnitude of the tragedy raises the critically important counterfactual question of how the United States as a nation would have fared had there been competent and committed political leadership in place when, during January 2020, intelligence indicating the severity of the unfolding pandemic became available. A partial answer to this question lies in identifying the organizational and technological capabilities to develop, produce, and deliver “countermeasures”—personal protective equipment (PPE), ventilators, diagnostic tests, therapies, and vaccines—that a prepared federal administration would have been able to mobilize to respond to the pandemic. Main repositories of the necessary † The Institute for New Economic Thinking provided the main funding for this research.

  • Modernism in Bartholomew County, Indiana, from 1942
    NPS Form 10-900 USDI/NPS NRHP Registration Form (Rev. 8-86) OMB No. 1024-0018 MODERNISM IN BARTHOLOMEW COUNTY, INDIANA, FROM 1942 Page 1 United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Registration Form E. STATEMENT OF HISTORIC CONTEXTS INTRODUCTION This National Historic Landmark Theme Study, entitled “Modernism in Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Design and Art in Bartholomew County, Indiana from 1942,” is a revision of an earlier study, “Modernism in Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Design and Art in Bartholomew County, Indiana, 1942-1999.” The initial documentation was completed in 1999 and endorsed by the Landmarks Committee at its April 2000 meeting. It led to the designation of six Bartholomew County buildings as National Historic Landmarks in 2000 and 2001 First Christian Church (Eliel Saarinen, 1942; NHL, 2001), the Irwin Union Bank and Trust (Eero Saarinen, 1954; NHL, 2000), the Miller House (Eero Saarinen, 1955; NHL, 2000), the Mabel McDowell School (John Carl Warnecke, 1960; NHL, 2001), North Christian Church (Eero Saarinen, 1964; NHL, 2000) and First Baptist Church (Harry Weese, 1965; NHL, 2000). No fewer than ninety-five other built works of architecture or landscape architecture by major American architects in Columbus and greater Bartholomew County were included in the study, plus many renovations and an extensive number of unbuilt projects. In 2007, a request to lengthen the period of significance for the theme study as it specifically relates to the registration requirements for properties, from 1965 to 1973, was accepted by the NHL program and the original study was revised to define a more natural cut-off date with regard to both Modern design trends and the pace of Bartholomew County’s cycles of new construction.
