The Dole Institute did not slow down when it came to exciting and engaging programs during the summer. Despite a quiet Lawrence with fewer students around to participate in University activities, the Dole Institute stayed busy with opportunities to connect with current events, Kansas and U.S. history, and the KU and Lawrence communities.

The summer kicked off with the Dole Institute’s continuing 2014 Ft. Leavenworth Series: Decisive Battles.

To carry on the series, the Dole Institute brought professors from the US Army’s Command and General Staff College at Ft. Leavenworth to speak about critical, yet lesser-known battles. These historians offered topics that ranged from the important role of bombers during World War II, to the Battle of Koniggratz and the Battle of the Somme.

In June, Pulitzer Prize-winning jour-nalist, Maura McEnaney, spoke about her book Willard Garvey: An Epic

Life. McEnaney, who spent six years working on the story of the accom-plished Kansan, discussed Garvey’s storied life from his accomplishments as millionaire entrepreneur to the work he did with housing in the United States and around the world.

This past July, Leslie Goddard, who has portrayed women in history for over a decade, made a connection with Kansas by providing an historical interpretation of Kansas’ first lady of the skies, Amelia Earhart. Goddard’s

DIRECTOR’SNOTE

We have a lot going on this fall.

The Post-Election Conference will cover the midterm elections this year. Our PEC midterms, 2006 and 2010, highlighted what lead to huge changes in Congress. With many predicting a GOP Senate takeover, that story—or it’s alternative—is going to be fascinating. We’ll also take an in-depth look at the captivating elections in Kansas.

Washington dysfunction and what to do about it will be a fall focus. The Bipartisan Policy Center, which Sen. Dole co-founded, has a Commission on Political Reform examining partisanship and in their words, how “to advocate for specific reforms that will improve the political process and that will work.” Sen. Bob Bennett (R-UT) and Kansas’ own Secretary Dan Glickman (D) will be leading our discussion. This will be a fascinating discussion that will point to potential solutions.

Also joining us is Mark McKinnon, co-founder of No Labels, a “citizens’ movement of Democrats, Republicans and independents dedicated to a new politics of problem solving.” We’ll ask Mark about possible solutions to gridlock and how the election results might affect inaction.

Finally, my predecessor and regular guest Richard Norton Smith will join us to talk about his biography of Vice-president and New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller. In my view, Richard’s book- over ten years in the making- will be the definitive bio on Rocky, a huge political figure of the last century. Join us. We’ll have a book sale and signing after the program.

You’ll find out about a lot more as you read this issue. Pay special attention to our collaboration on food justice with the KU Center for Sustainability that will bring in Tanya Fields. Ms. Fields is an amazing young African-American woman who is literally changing the landscape of agriculture and beautification of public spaces in New York City. You won’t want to miss her story.

Hope to see you here.

program brought history to life in a fun, inspiring and educational way by taking attendees back to 1937, when Amelia Earhart was preparing to break a world record by being the first to fly around globe at its equator.

In August, Ian Taylor packed the house during his program about the extreme preparation and endurance that it took to climb to the summit of Mt. Everest. Taylor also owns a trekking company that takes people on expeditions around the world. Connecting his work to his desire to help others, Taylor uses a portion of the profits from his expeditions to support a children’s school in Uganda. We think Senator Dole would approve of Taylor’s humanitarianism and leadership.

The Dole Institute’s 2014 fall programming schedule is full of brilliant minds, diverse topics, bipartisan encouragement, election coverage and more, culminating with our Post Election Conference on December 11 and 12. From now till then, we will be busy almost every single week, connecting free public programming to KU faculty, KU students and the region-al Lawrence community. For those who cannot attend in person, the Dole Institute reaches the entire global community through live streaming and online posting of videotaped programs.

In addition to the highlights that Director Lacy mentioned in his Note on page 2, here are some of the other great programs available this fall. For the complete schedule, please see the back page of this newsletter. For further descriptions, please visit our website www.doleinstitute.org.

In October, the Dole Institute will host a moderated discussion on whether or not the U.S. should recognize Cuba. The Dole Institute is thrilled to make a connection with PANAM-KC to bring this program to the public. It includes expert speakers from Florida International University and Center for a Free Cuba.

November brings a perennial favorite back to the Dole Institute. There is no better way for the Dole Institute to connect with veterans and the community than through the Veterans Gala. This USO-style event features dancing, music from Moonlight Serenade Orchestra, free food and a program to honor all veterans. Over 300 attend annually. Attendance is free but unlike most of our other programs, it does require a reservation.

Finally, after the November midterm election dies have been cast, the Dole Institute will turn attention back to the world stage with a timely program on East European democracy and Russian reemergence with Ivan Vejvoda of The German Marshall Fund of the United States. With conflicts still active in that region, this program will connect to the latest news.

In December, the Dole Institute will feature a screening and Q&A session with filmaker Conrad Weaver on his film The Great American Wheat Harvest. The program will also feature custom harvesters Jim and DeAnn Diebert, who partici-pated in the film and whose family travels the midwest, working to feed millions. The Deiberts have a strong connection to Kansas, and also to the Dole Institute, as they are members of our Friends of the Dole Institute group.

Stay tuned for exciting additions to our programming schedule, including topics on the Kansas elections and announce-ments on the panelists for the 2014 Post Election Conference! Plus, if you want more in-depth news and information from the Dole Institute, stay in formed by signing up for our weekly email through our website.

ARCHIVE UPDATEDid you know Dole Archives staffers are regional, state, and national professional leaders? Together we actively serve the Kansas State Historical Records Advisory Board (KSHRAB), the Mountain Plains Museums Association (MPMA), and Society of American Archivist’s (SAA) Congressional Papers Roundtable (CPR). This broad recognition is a testament to our leadership in connecting people to Senator Dole’s legacy using his historical collections. Here’s just a few ways we’re doing it:

K-12 AUDIENCES -We love Boys and Girls Club! This sum-mer we hosted BGC groups of all ages for custom age-appropriate programs. Know a BGC participant? Encourage their group to contact us.

-This fall, we’ll continue our relationship with Bishop Seabury Academy Politics Honors students, and forge a new program for 7th graders in a partnership with West Junior High School Language Arts and Social Studies students. The programs we develop fulfill curriculum standards – so we are helping teachers achieve their needs, too!

-Watch for the launch of the 2015 History Day resource page coming soon. This year’s competition theme is Leadership & Legacy. Could there be a more opportune time to explore the Dole Archives?

KU/ACADEMIC AUDIENCES-We welcome students of all academic affiliations and levels to use our collec-tions for research!

-This fall, we’re excited to collaborate with KU’s Office of First Year Experience to offer research and instruction related to KU’s 2014 Common Book, Laura Moriarty’s The Center of Everything. A novel set in 1980’s Kansas, there are great connections to be made between the papers documenting Senator Dole’s national lead-ership during that decade and the cultural, social, and political themes of the book. Faculty: contact us to schedule a visit for your class!

-In conjunction with the KU Undergraduate Honors program, we’re convening only the second-ever for-credit KU course based at and on Senator Dole, the Dole Institute, and historical collec-tions.

-We host top-notch research travel grant-ees: In July, Ryan Whalen, PhD/JD can-didate at Northwestern wowed a group of DIOP staff, students and Friends of the Dole Institute with his presentation on the 1980 Bayh-Dole Act. Sasha Issenberg, who visited the DIOP for a Dole Forum in 2012, returned in late August for archival research. We hosted a private FODI/SAB event in which Issenberg shared details and impact of his time at the Dole Archives.

ALL AGES, INTERESTS, & AFFILIATIONS-You may have caught the Dole Archives in the news in July, as we launched online feature The Dole Institute Oral History Project. Nearly a decade in the making, this web site makes available – in audio, video, full text, and podcast – definitive commentary on Dole’s legacy, from Dole’s own colleagues. http://dolearchives.ku.edu/oralhistory.

-In honor of National Archives Month and the commemoration of the 1974 Dole-Roy U.S. Senate race in Kansas, join us in October for a public program featuring archival treasures and an interview with two key campaign participants. Archives are alive during this conversation about history and the enduring relevance of an historic race. Don’t miss it!

On the heels of a tremendous trip to Washington, D.C. for the annual SAA conference this August, I am filled with new ideas spurred on by convening with the CPR and Steering Committee, chatting with Senator Dole’s staff, and taking in DC sights and sounds of the summer.

Now with the semester in early swing, the archive is poised to build on the research and development that we took on over the summer to enhance all of the offerings mentioned above. We invite you to join us.

Contact us at dolearchives@ku.edu for more information on how you can access our collections!

Become a Friend Ambassador!

Have you ever had questions about what all is going on at the Dole Institute? Have you ever wished you could get a preview of the semester’s upcoming programs from Director Bill Lacy? Have you ever wondered about the types of things that Friends of the Dole Institute funding supports?

You should become a Friend of the Dole Institute Ambassador!

Started in January of 2013, the Friends Ambassador Program was instituted for three reasons:

1. To increase a sense of pride, loyalty and connection between the Dole Institute and Friends of the Dole Institute

2. To improve communication and facilitate feedback between the Dole Institute and Friends of the Dole Institute, in regards to Friends initiatives

3. To provide the resources necessary for Friends of the Dole Institute to be a better advocate for the Dole Institute Friend Ambassadors not only offer invaluable feedback, but also help to identify outreach opportunities in order to introduce more people to the Dole Institute’s work and programs, and meet only three times a year.

In January of this year, Friend Ambassadors set a goal of helping to increase Friends of the Dole Institute member-ship by 50 member-households by January 1, 2015. We are happy to report that thanks to the support of many of our Ambassadors, we are already at 40 new member-households for this year!

Additionally, many Friend Ambassadors have become mentors for our Student Advisory Board members through our new mentoring program. This has been a wonderful connection between two of our most engaged groups at the Dole Institute, and we are excited for this to continue.

SUMMER OUTREACH ANNUAL SUCCESS STAFF AND SENATORS IN THE COMMUNITY

The Youth Civic Leadership Institute (YCLI) at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics is a program designed to enhance lead-ership skills and encourage involvement in public service for Kansas high school seniors nominated by their school principals and counselors. This past summer, students attended YCLI July 16-18, 2014.

Over 60 YCLI students educated themselves for citizenship. They learned about the mission of the Dole Institute and the many opportunities provided for students on campus and around the state. Guest speakers, outings, workshops and brainstorming sessions were all centered on the concept of encouraging students to be engaged, effective leaders in their high schools and com-munities.

Our seventh annual Kansas Government, History, and Social Studies Teachers conference at the Dole Institute, “Civic Learning and Election 2014,” was held at the Dole Institute July 23-25, 2014. We invited teachers from across Kansas to apply by way of nominations from teachers who have attended the conference, school administrators, and the Kansas State Board of Education. Students who have attended the Youth Civic Leadership Institute also submitted teacher nominations. The Dole Institute provided two nights lodging, meals, a stipend, and reimbursement for all necessary transportation (tolls/mileage) to and from the conference.

The conference offered speakers, programming, and the unique opportunity for teachers to share their favorite program or best practice with the other teachers. Teacher sharing has been a valu-able and popular component of the conference and included web-sites and other resources (such as DVDs or magazines) that teachers find helpful in their classrooms. In past years we have heard from teachers around the state about new and interesting ways to engage their students, from sign language interpretation to distinctive class projects. Teachers exchanged contact information and continue to network with each other after the conference. They also learned about the resources here at the Dole Institute that they can use in the classroom with their students, especially the recorded programs of our diverse speakers and the research materials available in the Dole Archives.

We talk a lot about promoting public ser-vice and civic engagement in students, as it is part of our mission at the Dole Institute. And we know that shaping future leaders is also part of the University’s mis-sion. There is no better example of this work being done than through YCLI.

“

”

It is a pleasure to meet such outstand-ing, effective, and motivated teachers in the state of Kansas. We look forward to helping them increase civic engagement and knowledge of elections in their class-rooms, thus helping to shape students into effective citizens and future leaders.

To those of you whom I have not met yet, my name is Alex Montgomery, and I am the incoming Student Advisory Board coordina-tor for this school year. I’m humbled and excited to be taking over this position, especially at such a great time for SAB, which is due to the hard work of my pre-decessors, Quinn Reid & Lexie Clark.

I am currently a senior from Overland Park, KS, majoring in Marketing and minoring in German. This will be my third year work-

ing at the Dole Institute. Sophomore year I worked as events student coordinator and junior year as outreach student coordinator. So if you received an email about an event at the Dole Institute in the last couple of years, or came to a dinner and had your name card at your place, there’s a strong possibility I had something to do with it. This year, SAB hit the ground running with an exciting Party on the Patio (or “Partio”, as the staff here lovingly refers to it). This year’s

Party on the Patio was the 7th annual incarnation of this SAB recruit-ment and welcome back to school event. David Wasserman, House Reporter for the Cook Political Report, was a sensational guest, giving insight on the work he does, the importance of this year’s midterms and how he came to be in the role he is in today. New and returning students were able to interact with David and ask him questions on and off stage. We also talked about how to get involved in SAB, as well as other facets of the Dole Institute, such as the Archives. The turnout was great and we are hoping to see many of those students return for events and join SAB.

I spent my summer as an intern in Bangalore, India and had an amaz-ing experience, but I am so happy to be back at the Dole working on the beginning of what promises to be a great year. We have a strong group of current SAB members who will be continuing their involve-ment this year, and we’re looking forward to a great batch of new members.

Stay tuned for our meeting schedule, and if you’re a student who would like to get involved with SAB, or if you just have general ques-tions about SAB, don’t hesitate to shoot me an email at dolesab@ku.edu, or my personal email: akm@ku.edu.

I can’t wait to see where this fall takes us!

Back in July, Dole Institute development coordinator, Clarissa Unger, informed mem-bers of the student staff and SAB about an exciting opportunity to volunteer in Kansas City during President Obama’s visit. After the event on July 30, Clarissa received a glowing letter of thanks from one of the White House’s advance team members, praising the work of our students. They displayed poise under pressure and clearly stood out as capable and responsible volunteers, among many of all ages.

We are so proud of them for acting as stellar representatives of the Dole Institute at this high profile event. What a great opportunity! Thanks to all!

Recently, staff and students of the Dole Institute hosted a day at the KU booth of the Kansas State Fair, in order to reach out to the people of Kansas about what the Dole Institute has to offer. The staff and students also worked the booth to represent KU and promote university admissions, athletics and school spirit.

With a stroke of luck, our time at the Fair happened to coincide with Senators Bob & Elizabeth Dole’s visit to the Fair, and both decided to join the DIOP for several hours that afternoon. As many of you may know, this was a stop on Senator Bob Dole’s 105 county tour of Kansas. This recent trip was the 7th of 10 planned tours to say thank you to the people of Kansas for their support throughout his career.

ABOVE INFORMATION COURTESY OF THE ROBERT J. DOLE ARCHIVE AND SPECIAL COLLECTIONS

LOOP HEARING SYSTEM COMES TO DOLE INSTITUTE

According to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, “approximately 17 percent (36 million) of American adults report some degree of hearing loss.” According to a 2011 report based on audiometric testing of Americans 12 and older in the National Health and Nutritional Examination Surveys (NHANES), 30 million Americans have at least a 25 decibal hearing loss in both ears, and 48 mil-lion in one or both ears. Unlike those challenged by mobility or vision loss, people challenged by hearing loss are often an invisible and forgotten minority. About 1 in 4—some 8.4 million —have hearing aids in the U.S.

Today’s digital hearing aids enhance hearing in conversational settings. Yet for many people with hearing loss, the sound becomes unclear when auditorium or TV loud-speakers are at a distance, when the context is noisy or when room acoustics rever-berate sound. A Loop System magnetically transfers the microphone or TV sound signal to hearing aids and cochlear implants. This transforms the instruments into in-the-ear loudspeakers that deliver sound customized for one’s own hearing loss.

Graciously, the Friends of the Dole Institute have generously provided funding so that the Dole Institute can now offer the Loop Hearing System to our event attend-ees. The Loop system works with T-coil (Telecoil) implants and hearing aids. If you use a T-coil aid, please take advantage of this new technology by sitting in the Loop Seating area, designated by signage at each event.

Special thanks to Friend of the Dole Institute Dick Meidinger, KU Director for Accessibility and ADA Education, Jamie Simpson, Bob Newton, and Theatre Lawrence for advising and consulting on our Loop Hearing System acquisition.

As usual, if you do not have T-coil aids, and wish to use one of our hearing assistance headsets, we will continue to have those available at the welcome table as you enter the building. Our staff and student volunteers are on hand to help you with either option.

Finally, it is possible that your hearing aid may have this technology already and only need to be “switched” on by your audi-ologist. Please check with your audiologist to find out.

30 years old, Urban Farmer & Social Entrepreneur

Tanya Fields is a working mother from Bronx, New York. In 2006, she quit her day job in the corporate sector to become a full time activist for food justice and local farming. In doing so, she created her own organization called The BLK ProjeK to help under-served woman of color by creating women-led economic development opportunities. In her attempts to construct urban farms on underdeveloped New York City land, she is shaking up the NYC borough from the earth up. Currently, Fields is not only still solidi-fying space for the Libertad Urban Farm but working on creating a women led coopera-tive food business that would deliver locally sourced, nutritious meals to children in group & family day care. These opportunities not only help create organic, nutritious and local food but give underserved women the chance to build community with other women, learn in workshops and gain skills.

This fall, Fields will be interviewed on topics related to KU’s Hunger Awareness Month activities, as well as Senator Dole’s legacy of addressing hunger and poverty. This event is presented in partnership with KU Center for Sustainability, KU’s Office of Multicultural Affairs, KU’s Office of the Provost and KU’s International Center for Ethics in Business, and co-sponsored by KU Fights Hunger and the Emily Taylor Women’s Resource Center.

KU PARTNERSHIP BRINGS NATIONAL FOOD ACTIVIST TO DIOP

This election season, the Dole Institute commemorates 40 years since the hard-fought U.S. Senate race between Senator Bob Dole and Congressman Bill Roy. Join Dave Owen, Dole’s campaign coordinator, and Bill Roy, Jr., son of Congressman Roy, in an interview with Dole Institute Senior Archivist Audrey Coleman, featuring personal recollections and historic materials from the Dole Archives.

A first-term senator, Dole faced a tough re-election. It was the Watergate year, and it proved tough for Republicans, who went on to lose 48 seats in the House and four in the Senate. A poll leading up to the election had Senator Dole running six points behind the Democratic challenger, Representative Roy, an obstetrician and lawyer.

Dole went on to achieve a narrow victory in November. But if defeated, as was predicted at the time, “the U.S. would have lost one of its most significant congressional leaders of the 20th cen-tury,” according to Albert Hunt in an article from Bloomberg View.

The election changed the course of both men’s lives, and affected the course of American con-gressional politics for over 30 years. With deep insight and rarely told stories from inside these campaigns, Dave Owen and Bill Roy, Jr. will firmly place this race on the proverbial timeline of significant events in American politics.

The Dole Archives are a vital, primary source, repository for the objects, papers and photos that document this historical event. This program will be enhanced by utilizing these pieces, underscoring the value of collections as a way of more fully developing stories of the past and bringing them to life in the present, where the tactile inspires memory.
