As editor of the Emporia Daily Gazette in the early 20th Century, William Allen White proved that the small-town American press could influence national politics.
Kansas editor influenced politics
By Brian James Kansan staff writer
But White went even further with the idea, said Del Brinkman, former vice chancellor of academic affairs, in a speech last night.
Serving as editor of the Kansas newspaper from 1895 to 1944, White gained favor and corresponded personally with seven presidents in that time and influenced many other nationally prominent figures, Brinkman said.
Brinkman presented the first of this year's Humanities Lecture Series in the Spencer Museum of Art auditorium last night. His lecture, titled "William Allen White and the Presidents: 50 Years of Influence on Washington by a Small-Town Kansas Editor," looked at the personal side of White's correspondence to national
Brinkman said that his research into White's personal papers was satisfying because he had pursued many of the same interests as White.
Brinkman said that White's correspondence "breathed life into the history of the period."
"It has been argued by some that no resource is more valuable, both continued and more detailed study of the first part of the 1900s, than the works and personal papers of William Allen White." Brinkman said.
politicians, KU officials and his family.
White gained national prominence in 1896 when he wrote a scathing editorial for the Gazette directed at Populists, titled "What's the Matter with Kansas?"
Brinkman, who is researching White's private papers, said that the Library of Congress had 137,000 pieces of White's correspondence.
Brinkman said White received sacks of mail in support of his stance, and the editorial was heralded by the Republican party as the most widely
White became close friends with Theodore Roosevelt, Brinkman said, and counseled Roosevelt in his decision to run in the 1912 presidential elections.
Brinkman said that Roosevelt had written numerous letters to White expressing doubt about becoming a presidential candidate.
circulated flier in William McKinley's successful campaign for president.
White advised him to consider the decision on his own, Brinkman said, and Roosevelt eventually decided to run for office.
White also corresponded with another friend, Alf Landon, a Republican who ran for president in 1936.
In conjunction with Brinkman's lecture, Watson Library has prepared an exhibition about White. The display, which will end Oct. 15, is in Watson's Jim Ranz Reading and Exhibit Area, just inside the main entrance.
Brinkman said that he was enjoying working as a journalism program officer at the Knight Foundation.
"The context of the job and my satisfaction in it were all made possible by my experiences and people on this campus," he said.

Women's shelter needs donations
By Chesley Dohl
Kansan staff writer
Battered women and children have fled their homes to seek shelter from their abusive boyfriends or husbands at Lawrence's Women's Transitional Care Service with nothing more than the shoes on their feet and the clothes on their backs.
As a service project for Women's Week, the Panhellenic Association is encouraging KU students to donate living supplies to the shelter. Collection boxes for small items will be in the Organizations and Activities Office through Friday.
"If a woman fies her home, she's not going to have time to ask herself, 'Do I have the diapers — do I have everything?' Khan said. 'She's preoccupied worrying about her life and the safety of her children.'
Wendy Khan, shelter staff member, said there was always a need for donations for women and children.
Khan said that the shelter needed towels, soap, shampoo, razors and personal hygiene items.
Women's Transitional Care Service has opened its doors to battered and abused women for 15 years.
Connie Burk, staff member at the shelter, said that in 1976 a group of Lawrence women organized a 24-hour telephone service for battered women and opened their homes to the women and their children. Finding an overwhelming response to their service, a permanent shelter opened in 1978.
The location of the women's shelter in Douglas County is confidential, Burk said.
She said that the shelter provided a
safe and secure living environment, an opportunity for one-on-one counseling and a chance for them to get back on their feet. The women may stay at the house for up to 30 days but may continue with the counseling beyond that. Exceptions to the rule are made depending on the woman's situation.
The shelter is financed through grants and personal donations. Burk said that Student Senate allocates money to the shelter every year.
Burk said that KU students volunteer at the shelter. Other KU students seek help from the shelter.
"The shelter provides a service unduplicated by anyone else in Douglas County," she said.
Joyce Davidson, psychologist at Watkins Memorial Health Center counseling and psychological services, said the shelter was a valuable resource for women at the University of Kansas. Five percent of all women who visited the shelter during the past three months were KU students.
"I'm not shocked or surprised by the statistics," Davidson said. "We live in a violent society where people have a lot to learn about responsibility and safety in relationships."

"Beside being a safe place for women to go for help, it's an educational tool for students to use for volunteer work and a constant reminder that violence is not acceptable," she said.
Jean Rosenthal, advisory board member of the service, said that the shelter served two purposes to KU students.
