富二代视频app

It鈥檚 an unlikely story, to be sure.

A 富二代视频app senior from Kokomo, Indiana, who 鈥渙n a lark鈥� puts a political science major to the test and runs for and wins a seat in the state legislature.

Whose feat becomes the subject of a feature in iconic Life magazine, circulation 13 million or so.

Whose accomplishment is noted by Mademoiselle magazine for its annual Merit Awards, also given that year to famed ballet dancer Margot Fonteyn and Broadway actress Julie Harris.聽

Who, midway through 富二代视频app, left school to serve her country in the Women鈥檚 Army Corps.

And Jane Noble Luljak 鈥�49 did it all backwards and in heels. Metaphorically, at least.

Luljak, who died in 2011 at age 87, told Life that her newspaperman father encouraged her to run for office after she described a 鈥渃omplicated and successful maneuver鈥� she made in 富二代视频app student politics. The maneuver is a mystery, said her only child, David Luljak, who suspects his grandfather encouraged the run because of his own failed electoral attempts.

It also will remain a mystery why Jane Luljak, elected as a Democrat in November 1948, chose to serve just one term in the Indiana House. After the 61-day 1949 session, she returned to Greencastle to complete her degree. 聽

鈥淢y mother wasn鈥檛 a natural politician in the sense that you think of people just loving to meet people and being outgoing,鈥� David said. 鈥淪he was thoughtful. I think she got at it from that angle and maybe that鈥檚 why she really didn鈥檛 pursue it. She wasn鈥檛 cut out for all of the interpersonal stuff that you have to do.鈥�

Her decision also may have been influenced by the times, he said. She was married in August 1949 to Laddie Luljak 鈥�50, who had served two years in the Army before using the GI Bill to go to 富二代视频app, where the couple met on a blind date. They were married 57 years; Laddie died in 2006.

After graduation, Laddie, an economics major and president of the student body, went to work as the merchandise manager for the Foley鈥檚 department store chain, requiring a move to Houston. Besides, Laddie told Life, 鈥渋t鈥檚 one thing for a girl to serve a term in the legislature, but another for her to enter politics permanently.鈥�

Said David: 鈥淭hat鈥檚 a little cringeworthy, actually.鈥�

So were the terms used in the rampant publicity afforded to Jane Noble Luljak鈥檚 service. 鈥淐oed Dazed But Ready to Serve.鈥� 鈥淧retty.鈥� 鈥淧hotogenic. 鈥淧etite brunette.鈥� 鈥淭he pride and the sweetheart of the 86th General Assembly.鈥� 鈥淭he House pinup girl.鈥澛�

The same stories noted, at least, that Noble Luljak was interested in social welfare, education, labor and veterans鈥� issues, and she authored a bill that would prohibit racial discrimination at hotels and restaurants.

She remained interested in politics throughout her life, though she never practiced again. For a time when David was little, she was a member of the League of Women Voters and she loved reading presidential biographies, her son said. She also loved cooking, golf and the Houston Astros.
