Huck Boyd Lecture Series Bio: Former Senator and Republican presidential candidate Bob Dole will deliver the first Huck Boyd Lecture in Community Media, dedicated to longtime Kansas journalist, businessman, politician and small-town advocate McDill "Huck" Boyd. The lecture will be at 1:30 p.m. October 25 in Kansas State University's McCain Auditorium. The lecture also will be presented live at the McDill "Huck" Boyd Community Center in Phillipsburg, Kansas, through videoconferencing offered by the Educational Communications Center, located in Bob Dole Hall on the K-State campus. Dole is the ideal speaker to kick off the planned lecture series, for much of his early career was shaped by Boyd, the former publisher of The Phillips County Review, said Gloria Freeland, director of the Huck Boyd National Center for Community Media. Boyd managed Dole's first Congressional campaign, sparking a career of national service that would span 35 years. "Huck Boyd believed in the First Amendment. His newspaper was what freedom of the press was all about," then-Senator Bob Dole said when the Huck Boyd National Center for Community Media was established. "Huck Boyd's newspaper was the community's watchdog." Dole's address is sponsored by the National Center for Community Media in the A.Q. Miller School of Journalism and Mass Communications. There is no cost to attend the lecture, and the public is encouraged to attend.
