  • ABSTRACT Beck Boots: the Story of Cowboy Boots in the Texas
    ABSTRACT Beck Boots: The Story of Cowboy Boots in the Texas Panhandle and Their Important Role in American Life Tye E. Barrett, M.A. Mentor: Douglas R. Ferdon Jr., Ph.D. Merton McLaughlin moved to the Texas Panhandle and began making cowboy boots in the spring of 1882. Since that time, cowboy boots have been a part of the Texas Panhandle’s, and America’s rich history. In 1921, twin brothers Earl and Bearl Beck purchased McLaughlin’s boot shop. The Beck family has been making cowboy boots in the Texas Panhandle ever since. This thesis seeks not only to present a history of Beck Boots and cowboy boots in the Texas Panhandle, but also suggests that the relationship between bootmakers, like Beck Boots, and the working cowboy has been the center of success to the business of bootmakers and cowboys alike. Because many, like the Beck family, have nurtured this relationship, cowboy boots have become a central theme and important icon in American life.

  • Gary Cartwright August 10, 1934 to February 20, 2017 by Jan Reid
    Texas Institute of Letters / 2017 Memorials 1 Gary Cartwright August 10, 1934 to February 20, 2017 By Jan Reid Gary Cartwright, the dominant Texas journalist and nonfiction stylist of his generation, has died at 82. Gary’s accomplishments and stature are measured by honors of the Texas Institute of Letters: the Dobie Paisano Fellowship in 1971, the O. Henry Award for Best Magazine Article in 1977, the Carr P. Collins Award for Best Nonfiction Book in 1979, and the Lon Tinkle Award for Career Achievement in 2012. Gary spent some of his early boyhood in the West Texas oil boom village of Royalty, where his dad ran a Texaco station, but he grew up in Arlington. In high school there he was inspired when an English and journalism teacher who oversaw his study hall read what he’d been scribbling in his journal and told him he had a gift for it. After a few semesters at the University of Texas-Austin and his hometown college, then called Arlington State, and a two-year hitch in the army, Gary took a journalism degree from TCU. He caught on first with the Fort Worth Star-Telegram as a $55 a week “cop shop” reporter. He later reflected, “Covering the night police beat was where I learned to use fear as a battle-ax. It is cold and relentless out there, and fear is your primary weapon. Fear can induce paralysis, and will if you allow it, but it can also inspire accomplishments that at times seem unlimited.” He operated out of a joint newsroom with new friends and rivals—among them tall, handsome Edwin “Bud” Shrake of the Fort Worth Press and a radio reporter, Bob Schieffer, who went on to a sterling career as a network television commentator and anchor.

    jjCaKUftrr ^k^^ Rule-changing process begins with summer committee meetings Have a problem with a UIL rule? Have a problem that you think the UIL needs to address? Either way, the League is soliciting proposals regarding specific rules or the overall program, to be considered this summer by the standing com­ mittees of the Legislative Council. The four committees - athletic, academic, policy and music - hear proposals and then made recommendations to the full council, which will meet next October. The council votes on the fate of each proposal. All rule changes approved by the council must later be approved by the State Board of Education before going into effect. "While it may seem slow, this process insures that all issues will be given an exhaustive examina­ tion," said Dr. Bailey Marshall, UILdirector. "This democratic process all persons an opportunity to provide input on issues of importance, and mini­ mizes the chances that decisions will be made in haste. The success of the League can be attributed in large part to the fact that rules are not made in the heat of the moment but rather as a result of a rational, deliberative process." The four meetings will beheld at the Holiday Inn Town Lake, 20 North Interstate 35, Austin. Meeting dates are as follows: • Academic Committee: 9 a.m. - 5 p.m., Thursday, June 6. Submit proposals to Pat Wis­ dom in the League office by June 6. • Policy Committee: 2p.m.-5p.m.,Wednes- day.June 15. Submit proposals to Bonnie Northcutt in the League office by June 6.
