102. Myrna Oliver, BA'64 (01:54)

Oliver, Myrna
Summary:
In her four-decade career at major metropolitan newspapers, Myrna Oliver covered beats from general assignment to civil and criminal court cases to celebrity obituaries, carving a niche for herself at a time when few women were making marks in newspaper journalism and, later, when the industry itself began shrinking its newsroom staffs. Born in Bloomington and brought up in Ellettsville, Indiana, Oliver spent most of her youth aspiring to be a lawyer. At IU, she studied journalism and served as editor of both the Arbutus and the Indiana Daily Student. During her senior year at IU, she still was considering law school. Journalism professor Chris Savage encouraged Oliver to apply for a fellowship to Syracuse University for a master’s degree in journalism, and, lacking finances to attend law school, Oliver applied and was accepted. With her master’s degree in hand, Oliver spent 14 months as an assistant press secretary and speechwriter for U.S. Sen. Birch Bayh. After that, she spent about a year at The Indianapolis News. She was assigned to the women’s department, but fashioned a beat for herself following women in politics. In 1968, Oliver headed west to work at the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner, where she covered the trials of Charles Manson and Robert F. Kennedy’s assassin, Sirhan Sirhan. Four years later, she accepted a job as the civil courts reporter for the Los Angeles Times, where she would remain until her retirement in 2006. While civil courts may not receive the attention and infamy of criminal courts, Oliver said in an in an interview that she loved it. She reported on cases concerning First Amendment issues and on civil rights cases about issues such as gay rights. After 15 years at the Times, Oliver transitioned from court reporting to writing obituaries. While working as a legal affairs reporter, she sat near the obituary writer, who was overwhelmed with work the day Muppets creator Jim Henson died. Oliver volunteered to write the obituary, which ran on the front page. She would go on to write the obituaries of Wal-Mart founder Sam Walton, actor and singer Gene Autry and composer Leonard Bernstein, among others. But she applied her distinctive style of telling life stories to the little-known as well as celebrities. When she looks back, Oliver said she considers how she had to endure through the challenges of the newspaper industry, including being a woman in what used to be a man’s world. When she started at the LA Times, there was no women’s restroom on the newsroom floor. Oliver also said civil court judges were less than welcoming when she began her beat at the Times. When judges were unwilling to talk to her, however, she would persevere by reading every piece of paperwork about the trial. She said in an interview that if she couldn’t get the story one way, she’d do it another.

104. The Phillips Barry Lecture: Afro-Mestizo Imaginaries in “Música Tropical”: Gender Differences in ... (1:13:49)

Summary:
Some songs pertaining to the “música tropical” genre, or music exhibiting tropical rhythms from both the Pacific and Atlantic coasts, feature Afro-mestizo protagonists in their lyrics. My study explores the imaginaries constructing the subjectivities of Afro-mestizo men and women and posits that these gender constructions are different between the two sexes. Men tend to be depicted more harshly than women. Both, however, are depicted in a stereotypical and racist manner. My study incorporates feminist and critical race theories as well as postcolonial theories in the analy- sis and hermeneutics of the representation of Afro-mestizos in the lyrics of these songs.

Summary:
Indiana University Journalism Professor Emeritus John Ahlhauser drew on his award-winning professional experience during his 20 years in the classroom at his alma mater, where he had received his master’s in journalism in 1973 and a doctorate in 1978. As a photojournalist, Ahlhauser covered presidential inaugurations and the civil rights movement for his hometown paper, the Milwaukee Journal. He tackled an array of topics, from politics and religion to homes, furniture and fashion. But the paper also sent him on the road to document national events. Some of his notable assignments included the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, the inaugurations of Presidents Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon, the 1964 civil rights movements in Mississippi and unemployed coal miners in West Virginia. Ahlhauser supported the profession through his work with national organizations. He has held every office at the National Press Photographers Association, including a year as president from 1967 to 1968. Ahlhauser co-founded the Stan Kalish Picture Editing Workshop in 1990, serving as its chair for the next eight years. In retirement, he was president of the National Press Photographers Foundation. Ahlhauser has been honored for his work in both journalism and academia. In 1977, he received NPPA’s highest honor, the Joseph Sprague Award. The organization also presented him with its Robin Garland teaching award in 1981. An alumnus of Marquette University, Ahlhauser received the school’s ByLine award in 1985. In 1991, he was inducted into the Milwaukee Press Club’s Media Hall of Fame, and he has won service awards from the Wisconsin, Indiana and Kentucky news photographers associations. Ahlhauser retired to Milwaukee, where, in a continuation of his dedication to social justice, he volunteered with an outreach program for inmates in the Milwaukee County Jail. He visited every Monday night for seven years, until declining health prevented him from continuing.
