The University of Kansas boasts an institute that is one of a kind in the United States.
The Institute for World War II Studies, founded recently by KU faculty members, houses materials concerned with global effects of the war.
Institute members hope to support further research on the war, said Chester Pach, assistant professor of
history and co-director of the institute. They plan to provide World War II information to the community, including letters and photographs from the war, he said.
"We're interested in how the war reached beyond the battlefield and into the texture of society," Pach said.
Many resources are available to institute researchers, said Norman Saul, professor of Russian history, who wrote the institute's formal proposal.
The Truman Library in Independence, Mo., the Eisenhower Library in Abilene, and the Ft. Leavenworth Library all are close to KU's Hall Center for Humanities where the institute is housed, he said. Institute researchers will be able to use those resources for information on World War II.
"The most unique aspect is that we're determined to take advantage of the upcoming commemoration of the 50-year anniversary, to foster awareness of the importance of this," he said.
The approaching 50th anniversary of the beginning of the war (Sept. 1, 1839) is another reason the faculty pursued interest in the institute, said Theodore A. Wilson, professor of

history and co-director of the institute.
"Within a year we want to collect the experience of many Kansans at war, and get first-hand accounts of people who were involved with the war."
Pach said.
Andrew P. Debicki, director of Hall Center, said the center's task was to support and encourage research in the humanities.
"The institute is one of the areas where there is quite a bit of promise," he said.

Media wins more libel cases

That compares to a 24 percent rate in 1985 and 1986, said the center, a nonprofit information clearinghouse organized by media groups.
NEW YORK — The media won 40 percent of the狱 cases tried to conclusion in 1987 and 1988, the Libel Defense Resource Center reported.
But Henry R Kaufman, the general counsel, said he was important in leading the effort.
"Despite the recent slight improvement in trial success, the media's overall trial win rate during the eight years since 1980 remains at only 28 percent, still an unacceptably poor showing," Kaufman said in the report released last week.
amount of damages initially awarded was $431,730 in that period, down from $1.167 million in the previous period.
"Although lower in relative terms, an average damage award approaching $500,000, in cases that rarely involve significant out-of-pocket loss, remains in absolute terms an unacceptably high tariff on free expression." Kaufman said.
"The absence of any outrageously inflated, eight-figure mega-awards during this period is a most welcome development." Kauffman said.
There were no awards of more than $10 million during the latest two-year period. In comparison, from 1980 through 1986, each of the two-year periods had one or two eight-figure awards.
But he said it was impossible to predict whether fewer huge awards was an aberration.
