  • Commentary from Other Pens
    2 The Goodland Daily News / Monday, November 25, 2002 commentary from other pens... The room where FDR tracked World War II One look at the walls in Franklin D. Roosevelt’s top-secret World War II Map Room was enough to convey an accurate sense of the world- wide ebb and flow of the land and naval forces of the United States, its allies and their enemies. Formerly a place where presidential gifts were unwrapped, the White House Map Room was lined with large-scale military maps. Troop positions were marked in grease pencil on the clear-plastic overlays. Black pushpins located German ships. Orange, gray, blue and red pins charted the positions of Japanese, Italian, U.S. and British vessels. The Map Room is etched in the memory of George Elsey, an 84-year- old veteran of three presidential administrations. Sixty years ago, Navy Lt. Elsey and a team of junior Navy and Army officers staffed the Map Room 24 hours a day. With the president as their chief client, the room became a quiet center of American power in the midst of history’s great- est war. From here, FDR followed American troops advancing up the boot of Italy, punching through France and landing on the sandy beaches of Pacific islands. “One glance at the map showing the convoys heading toward the coast of Africa would tell the story,” Elsey said earlier this month as he shared his memories at a conference convened by the White House Historical Association. The private side of Russia Because of the room’s secret nature no photographs or diaries were permitted.

  • Executive Summary
    SELF-STUDY Submitted to the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools December 2014 Executive Summary KU is an EO/AA institution. Produced by the Office of the Chancellor. Office of the Chancellor Transformation is a word higher education institutions tend to exploit, regardless of the size or scope of change occurring. As you’ll discover in this 2015 Self-Study, at the University of Kansas it is a phrase that, perhaps, comes up short in describing our activity during the past decade. We are in the midst of implementing a trio of initiatives most institutions would consider transformative if accomplished individually: Bold Aspirations, a five-year strategic plan for the Lawrence and Edwards campus, and the corresponding strategic plan at the Medical Center; Changing for Excellence, a comprehensive overhaul of administrative functions; and Far Above, a comprehensive fundraising campaign for the KU Endowment Association, the nation’s oldest public university endowment. The self-study confirms what we have heard from our stakeholders, from our alumni and supporters, and from the Board of Regents. We are on the right track, and are poised for even greater progress. Our accomplishments are the result of the hard work and willingness of our dedicated and talented faculty and staff to drive needed changes, even when some transitions have been rocky at times. Because of their work, we are seeing results in the successes of our students, in communities that are made healthier and more vibrant, and in the discoveries that will change the world. And our study confirms the tasks that still lay ahead.

  • 48 Kansas History “You Have to Like PEOPLE”
    Kansas History: A Journal of the Central Plains 30 (Spring 2008): 48–67 48 Kansas History “you have TO LIKE PEOPLE” A Conversation with Former Governor William H. Avery edited by Bob Beatty William Henry Avery, born on a farm near Wakefield, Kansas, on August 11, 1911, served as the state’s thirty- seventh chief executive, from January 11, 1965, to January 9, 1967. Although his gubernatorial service was short, Avery’s outgoing personality and ability to win elections made him a central figure in Kansas Republican Party politics throughout the 1950s and 1960s. Avery first ran for the Kansas House of Representatives in 1950, but his political career really began years earlier when he was a leader of local opposition to the U.S. Corps of Engineers’s damming of the Republican River in their attempt to stop the disastrous flooding that had plagued eastern Kansas for years. Avery’s stake in the opposition was personal—the proposed dam would destroy the farmhouse his father, Herman W. Avery, built and in which he had grown up. He was never able to halt construction of the dam, but his fervent efforts not only led to his election to two terms in the state legislature (1951–1955), but also propelled him into the U.S. Congress, where he served from 1955 until 1965. Unable to stop the Tuttle Creek Dam and Milford Reservoir and finally frustrated with being a Republican in the Democratic-dominated U.S. House of Representatives of the early 1960s, Avery gave up his seat to come back to Kansas and run for governor in 1964.

  • Ken Trickey an Influencial Leader Who Brought National Attention and Competitive Success to ORU Basketball
    Ken Trickey An influencial leader who brought national attention and competitive success to ORU basketball. Chapter 01 – 1:55 Introduction Announcer: After the death of basketball coach Ken Trickey in 2012, the Tulsa World called him “one of the most influential and colorful characters in this state’s basketball history”. Ken played basketball at Middle Tennessee State College, where he was an Ohio Valley All-Conference player for three years, is still one of the top ten scorers for Middle Tennessee, and was elected to the university’s sports Hall of Fame. He returned to Middle Tennessee and became the head basketball coach in 1964. Ken recruited the first African American athletes to play basketball at Middle Tennessee during the height of the Civil rights movement in the south. In 1969, Ken was hired by Oral Roberts to coach the ORU Basketball team. He took ORU to the NCAA Final Eight as an independent in 1974. His ORU teams during that time also led the nation in scoring and made two NIT appearances in New York City. Upon leaving ORU in 1974, Ken coached at Colorado State University, Iowa State University, Claremore Junior College, Oklahoma City University, and Oklahoma Junior College before returning to ORU where he finished his coaching career in 1993. Ken was especially remembered for ORU’s high-scoring “run and gun” teams of the early 1970s, which helped the young, small school, attain national attention and competitive success, including a spot in the Elite Eight in the 1974 NCAA Men’s Division I Basketball Tournament. During the early 2000s, Ken became a supervisor/evaluator of officials for the Big 12 Conference.

  • Judicial Selection in Kansas
    TO: SPECIAL COMMITTEE ON JUDICIARY FROM: F. JAMES ROBINSON, JR. KANSAS BAR ASSOCIATION DATE: OCTOBER 1, 2019 RE: JUDICIAL SELECTION IN KANSAS Chairperson Rucker, Chairperson Patton, members of the committee, we thank you for the opportunity to appear today and comment on your review of judicial selection process in Kansas. I am here today for the Kansas Bar Association. If those who select judges for our highest courts are knowledgeable and insulated from partisan politics, focus on professional qualifications, and are guided by proper rules and procedures, they will choose good judges. History of Judicial Selection Before charting a course for the future, we must have a clear understanding of the past. Several times since the state’s founding, Kansans have had to rethink how to select Kansas Supreme Court justices. Early in this nation’s history, governors and legislators chose state court judges. Concerns that some judges received their judicial appointments as a reward for their previous work for political elites, party machines, and special interests led reformers around the time of Kansas’ statehood to propose judicial elections.1 The first Kansans preferred non-partisan judicial elections, while allowing the governor to appoint judges to fill vacancies. Early in the 20th century Kansans switched to partisan elections, but a few years later switched back to non- partisan elections. However, critics were not convinced that non-partisan elections cured the problems plaguing partisan elections. Political parties continued to play a role in selecting and supporting candidates.2 During the mid-part of the 20th century political scandals in some states prompted reformers to move to a system using independent non-partisan nominating commissions.

    I How the j Missouri Plan Came to , Kansas ~ .. By R. Alton Lee I. Introduction For almost a century, Kansans chose theirjudges through the process ofpopular election, despite evidence that other states had modernized their selection procedures in the 20th century. The dramatis personae ofthis episode included Got: Fred Hall; the controversial leader ofthe "modern" wing ofthe Kansas Republican Party; William A. Smith, an active and unabashed partisan Republican chiefjustice ofthe Kansas Supreme Court;andjohn Berridge McCuish, an amiable small town newspaper editor who served as Got: Hall's lieutenant governor. Then in the 1950s, a bizarre political episode caused the state to adopt a more democratic method ofjudicial selection that surrounding states already had experimented with successfully. R.
