What's up at the Kentucky Museum

HARD TimE! HIGH HOPE!

fO,fhlonr of thE' ThlrtlE'/

By Lena Sweeten The 19305 was a d ecade of

contrasts. While the Great Depres­sion caused widespread unem­ployment, breadlines, Hoovervilles, and mass migrations from the South, Americans ex­pressed an irrepressible optimism and hope for the future. The Kentucky Museum's newest exhibit, Hard Times and High Hopes: Fashions of the 19305, captures this spirit as demonstrated in the movies, fashions and popular magazines of the period.

It's a must-see exhibit this sum­mer.

Hollywood reached the pinnacle of its glamour during the thirties ... Stars such as Carole Lombard, Joan Crawford, Clark Gable, and Jean Harlow lit up the s ilver screen week after week. Their movies showcased independent career women, seductive bombshells, charming scoundrels and suave heroes, whose s tories provided audiences with cheap escape from

the trials of everyday life. Hollywood also became a major

influence on clothing fashion during the 193Os. DeSigners used stars to model their newest fash­ions as an easy way to reach wide audiences. The impact of movies on clothing s tyles is unquestion­able. For example, the fa mous instance in "It Happened One Night," in which Clark Gable is shown wearing a shirt without an undershirt. caused an almost­overnight drop across the country in the sale of men's undershirts.

The elegant evening wear, sensible business suits, and care­fully coordina ted accessories women wore in the movies wer~ easily emulated by ordinary women, especially those hand y with a needle and thread.

Needlecrafts were extremely popular throughout the 1920s and 1930s. Because of the Depression, money was often scarce, and many women made do with inexpensive materials, remaking old dresses

in to newer s tyles, recycling materi ­als, and investing in new accesso­ries to update older clo thes.

Their innovations can be seen in the new exhibit. designed by Donna Parker, exhibits curator, and Dr. SaBye Cla rk, WKU profes­sor emerita, guest curator.

"We s tress that clothing of the 1930s was important," sa id Ms. Parker. "There were speci fic c:0thes for specia l occasions. Unlike today, when you can wea r pants almost any da y, you had to wear the right dress, the right hat, the right shoes."

Among the items on display are s tylish women's hats, evening d resses, accessories, a win ter coat with a fur collar, and several children's dresses. Also included are the numerous beauty products which were available to wom en, including rouge and powder, manicure kits, and hairstyling tools. Women in the thirties were very careful with their appearance, d espite economic hardships, and were often ingenious at making do with what they had.

"One child's dress in the exhibit is made from her mother's older dress. It shows the thriftiness of that period," sa id Ms. Parker.

Indeed, thriftiness was enc'our­aged and applauded in many of the magaZines of that day. For example, one article in the Feb. 1937 Home Arls-Needlecraft, says, "With so much talk about 'socia l security: we are all coming to have a greater respect for the mightiness of the dollar and to want to save it whenever possible. Made-over clothes should prove just as excit­ing as new, if not more, because of the economies affected."

Such optimism, such desire to focus on the positive enabled women to continue to be con­cerned with fashion, hair and makeup, as shown in the exhibit, while they also ran households, managed limited family budgets, reared child ren, and increasingly worked outside the home. And despite the hardships of the De­pression, the exhibit also demon­strates that Americans had a continuing positive outlook, a

willingness to make do wilh wha t they had and a firm belief that the fu ture was brigh t.

Hard Times and High Hopes will be exhibited th rough june 1995.

Putting WKU on the lllap By Bob Skipper

Dr. Nickolas Crawford, WKU Professor of Geology and Geography, f hasbeen awardect an Honorary Life Membership from the National ~ : Speleological stkiety during the group's national meeting in Texasfo;1: his work in cave and karst studies. The life membership is the society's highest honor.

Dr. Crawford is best known as the founder and director of the Center for Cave and Karst Studies at Western, the only cave science institute in the country. Through the Center he founded the Mam­moth Cave Summer University Program 16 years ago, which contin­ues to be the only university accredited cave education program in the U.S. Dr. Crawford and the Center were also presented the Certificate of Merit.

"Dr. Crawford's Mammoth Cave program has educated hundreds of people who now better appreciate and manage karst systems," said NSS member Dr. George Veni as he introduced Dr. Crawford at the awards ceremony. "Dozens were fired-up by what they learned and went on to pursue careers specializing in cave science. They now spread his word that karst is complex, sensitive and important."

Dr. Veni said thousands of people have made caves a priority in their lives because of Dr. Crawford's efforts.

"Some are becoming the scientific leaders of tomorrow who will better define caves and how they function," he said. "Others are implementing those results to protect and conserve caves on private and public lands. Many are everyday people whose subtle apprecia­tion of caves is evolving into tangible support for cave conservation."

Through his research, Dr. Crawford has become a leader in the evaluation and clean-up of some of the country's worst environmental disasters in karst landscapes. Preservation, however, lies in prevent­ing problems, Dr. Veni said, "which is why I believe his work in education is his most important contribution to speleology.

Dr. Crawford said he was pleased that the top speleological society in the country recognized the work being done at Western, the Center and the Department of Geography and Geology.

"We think we've helped educate the public and the profession" to the special problems in karst regions, Dr. Crawford said, adding that about 40 percent of the U.S. east of the Mississippi River has a karst geography. Through education, groundwater pollution problems in karst regions have improved, he said.

Dr. Crawford said students with knowledge in karst geography are also finding jobs using their skills in combating groundwater prob­lems.

"Who would have thought cave explorers would be in demand?"

Robo Enterprises Inc. will help Warren Countians Robo Enterprises Inc. of Bowling

Green has established a new scholarship program at WKU to help four students from Warren County.

The Robo Oil and Gas Explora­tion Scholarship Fund will provide $34,000 over five years for the scholarships, one each to a gradu­ating senior at each of the four high schools in Warren County, accord­ing to David Rose, president and chief executive officer of Robo EnterpriSes.

Three students will be nominated from each of the high schools by the schools' guidance counselors. Those names will be fonvarded to the Office of Admissions at West­ern, which will consult with the

Office of Student Financial Assistance before making the award.

"It is my desire that the schol­arship be awarded to those having a financial need with a preference to those with the highest academic credentials and/or potentiaI." Rose said, adding that the scholarships underscore Robo's interest in and commitment to the young people of Warren County.

The first scholarships will be awarded in the fall 1994 semes­ter.

The gift was made to the Western Kentucky University Foundation for the benefit of Western, according to Robert M.

Rutledge, executive director of the Foundation and vice presi­dent for Institutional Advance­ment at Western.

Headquartered in Bowling Green, Robo Enterprises is the number one oil and gas explora­tion company in the Illinois Basin and ranks in the top 3 percent nationally. It was founded by Rose in 1983 and the company recently struck one of the largest producing wells in the area in the Pine Grove Oil Field in Edmonson County. That well is expected to produce in excess of 200 barrels of oil per day.

By Sheila Eison

Clad in jeans and a matching denim shirt, Carlton Jackson strolls into Un ivers ity Relations on campus, sits down to visit, and as casually as people talk about the weather, says, "1 just stopped by to tell you about my latest book."

His unassuming manner is only a front for one o f the mos t ener­getic and productive faculty members on Western's campus.

A close colleague, reti red His­tory Professor Drew Harrington, describes Jackson also as the kind of person who's always "approach­able--he'li d o anything for you­definite in his opinions, and very thorough in his work."

As he chats on about his latest experience, an enjoyable hour passes by, and Jackson saunters out, leaving in his wake a fascinat­ing amount of information that unfolds into a real success story about a sa tisfy ing career o f accom­plishment.

Confessions (it's hard to remember the number because he overlaps working on several books at a time - right now he's finishing number 15), is a story within the s tory, which again is typical of WKU's journalist­turned-professor, and one of the longest tenured faculty members on campus, 33 years.

Ninety years after his fi rst novel was published, novelist Zane Grey's last novel is off the presses, and Jackson edited Grey's last book, wrote the introduction and added footnotes to the late au thor's work, George Washington: Fron­tiersman.

Jackson, a four-time Fulbright lecturer and recipient of a number of disti nguished lectureships and awards for his scholarship, is an expert on Zane Grey, hav ing wri tten Grey's biography, fi rst published in 1973, with a second ed ition in 1989.

dropping out of high school in the 11th grade, but only because he admits proudly the Air Force "straightened him out and he has the mili tary to thank" for his education. After his stint in the Air Force, the "red-headed North Ala­bama iconoclast," as his friend Harrington also d escribes him, scored so high on the GED he was able to attend college while working as a journalist, and to lead an interesting li fe tha t has taken him around the world enjoying lecturing and writing as a historian.

Jackson made trips to Califo rnia and knocked on doors of Grey's family members, quickly winning them over with his friendly manner and casual dress, wh ich included jeans, T­sh irt and a baseball cap, he tells gOOd-humoredly .

Grey's son, Romer, put off by a scholar tracking down infonlla­tion about his father, was reluc­tant to meet Jackson at first , but when Jackson showed up on h is doorstep, he remembers fondly Romer's change of tune: "You don't look like a damn professor! Come on in!" he said.

Grey's son, Lauren, who also became a good friend of Jackson, contacted him to help on Grey's last noveL

"Grey died in 1939, and the book was finished in 1938, but Grey's publisher then, Harper's, believed the novel was out of the

Zane Grey image," says Jackson. "They wanted to promote him as a western novelist and as a fisher­man, but the book's setting is the Ohio Valley," says Jackson.

Thus, the University press ()f Kentucky has pub-lished this latest work, "and interesting ly, he comes full ci rcle to the Ohio Valley, because --------­

Grey's first book, Betty Zane. is set in the Ohio Valley, in Zanesville, Ohio and Wheeling, West Virgin ia," says Jackson.

Iris Press in Bell Buckle, Tenn. is publishing the book.

A specialist in American Studies,

Jackson has written on a variety of topics. Some o f his books include: Presidential Vetoes, 1792-1945; the Grey biography; The Creat Lili, a book about the song, Lili Marleen; Hounds of the Road, a history of

the GreyhoundJ3us Company in America, and a biography 'of Hattie McDaniel, the woman who played Mammy in "'_:. the award-winning movie, Gone With the Wind.

But it's not only his written accomplishments which have brought distinction to Carlton Jackson. He has a IOl1g list of prestigious lectu r~

ships as weB. "Actually, I prob~

ably have spent five orsix years of my career away from Western's campus," Jackson says jokingly, but that, too, is actually quite true.

He has lectured in England, France, Greece, Afghanistan, India,

Nepal, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Peru and Finland.

His Fulbright senior lectureships have taken him to Dhaka Univer­sity in Bangladesh, Quad-e-Azam University in Islamabad, Pakistan, Bangalore Un iversity in India and the Uni versity of Helsinki in Finland.

The limit on Fulbrights for any professor is two, but Jackson, the rulebreaker, may go for five or more, as no surprise to anyone.

He has also completed a number of U.S. Infomlation Agency­sponsored lecturesh ips, some of which include U.S. Authors and Their Impact on American Society, in Germany, an American Endow­ment Professorship at Pahlavi UniverSity in Shiraz, Iran and lectures in American Studies in Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina and Chile. Reports on these lectures are available at the USIA.

Jackson has twice won WKU's

highest award which goes to faculty for Excellence, and both times in the category of Research and Creativity, and he shared the Public Service Award with History Professors Richard Weigel and Drew Harrington for publishing a book review page in the Bowling Green, Ky. newspa­per, The Daily News.

"1 usuaiiy get them irolTl reading about something or someone," says Jackson/asin this case. Jackson read that after her death a manuscript by Monica Dickens was found, about the Samaritans, an intemationally­recognized suicide counseling program which she initiated.

"I wanted to do a biography of her, but Dickens' Brit ish pub­lisher was afraid as an American I'd miss some of the British nuances," says Jackson, whose wife, Pat, is from England.

"Maybe they were right," he said, so he has edited Dickens' manuscript and written an introduction for it.

Another work in progress is a newly-signed contract with the Popular Press to do a biography of Martin Ritt, the film director whose successes include Sounder, Stanley an Iris, a motion picture about illiteracy, and Nuts, starring Barbra Streisand, which deals with incest.

"Ritt's works have a distinctly social context, and since 1 teach social history, I chose this topic," explains Jackson.

Jackson is presently in London researching at the Public Records Office for his 16th book which will be about the disaster of the HMT Rohna, second only to the

July 20,1994

u.s.s. Arizona to lose lives in a disaster. The Rohna tragedy took place in the Mediterranean. Jack­son will also inquire about the status of the Dickens manuscript.

At a ti me when he sees col­leagues retiring, Jackson's eye­brows go up at the query about h is 33 years of teaching and writing.

"I haven't even thought about retiring!" he exclaims. "Why should I? I like what I'm doing," he says, in his comfortable, book­lined office on the second floor of Cherry Hal l.

Even though he was a newspa­perman on ly for a short period in his younger years, the journalist in Jackson compels him to keep digging up more stories.

"Every time 1 think Pm t"hrough with Zane, here comes something else," he says, adding, ''I'm not through yet. I've had a good career with not very many regrets, and I think I still know a good story when I see it!"

And as an added note: University Relations has a rich

file of past stories written over the years about Carlton Jackson, and in stud ying the stack, a decade­ago story in which he was inter­viewed about The Dreadful Month, his book that takes the U.s. coal mining industry to task for the number of disasters in the indus­try in this century, Jackson per­haps best reveals the anomaly that is the essence of this respected lecturer and prolific author.

He's been asked about how he writes on so many diverse topics that just keep coming.

He leans back in his chair, coffee mug in hand, the picture of the pondering professor, in his ele­ment amongst strewn papers and books askew on the shelf.

"I don't know really,"he says. "Sometimes I wonder that

myself. I'm basically lazy."
