Regents praised by new member
Elmer Jackson, the first Negro ever to be appointed to the Kansas Board of Regents, has expressed confidence both in his fellow Regent board members and in the Board of Regents as an administrative organization.
By JIM ROTHGEB
Kansan staff writer
Jackson, 57, was appointed to the Regents by Gov. Robert Docking on January 14 as a replacement for C. N. "Ned" Cushing of Downs.
Jackson graduated from the KU College of Liberal Arts and Sciences in 1933, and received his degree from the KU School of Law in 1935. He is now a member of Stevens, Davis, Jackson and Haley law firm in Kansas City. He is also a special assistant to Attorney General Kent Frizzell.
"In the short time I have been with the Board of Regents," Jackson said, "I have found the members of the Regents to be a high caliber group of men who certainly will not agree on everything but will definitely make a point to look objectively and fairly at the situations that confront them."
Applications for the scholarship will be due in April.
Jackson is the executive director of the National Bar Association and served as president of the association from 1959 to 1961. He was recipient of the C. Francis Stradford Award of the NBA for outstanding and meritorious service.
An active member of the Kansas City Urban League, Jackson is currently vice-president of the Wyandotte County Mental Health Association. He has also been active in the Kansas City branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
In a telephone interview Friday, Jackson commented on issues currently before the Board of Regents and gave his views of the educational system of Kansas.
He spoke highly of the colleges and universities in Kansas saying the people of this state can be proud that their young people are educated in such a system as ours.
He said today's colleges were run by a fine group of administrators and, because of closer ties between students and administration, the quality of education was at an all-time high.
Jackson said the primary obligation of today's colleges was to allow the student to get an education without disruption. He pointed out that Kansas colleges had been recognized throughout the country for this characteristic.
One of the major problems facing the Board of Regents is whether to increase faculty salaries. If such an increase did take place, cutbacks would exist in other areas of the educational budget proposed by Gov. Docking.
Jackson said that a recent survey of college faculty salaries in twenty schools in the American Association of Colleges and Universities, KU ranked very close to the bottom.
He said the proposed salary increase would not alarmingly raise the faculty wages but bring them to an average level comparable to those salaries given in schools about the size of KU.
Jackson said the Board of Regents had taken no official stand on the issue of giving credit to students enrolled in ROTC, but he thought the Board of Regents and the Kansas Legislature were pretty much in agreement in support of ROTC courses.
"The Board of Regents operates by a good set of by-laws and statutes," he said.
