Renaming Flint Hall draws darts, laurels
By GUELMA ANDERSON Staff Reporter

On June 17, 1958, the building that houses the William Allen White School of Journalism and Mass Communications was named Flint Hall, in honor of Leon Flint, professor and former chairman of the journalism department.
Twenty-eight years later, on the same date, the Board of Regents approved changing the building's name to Stauffer-Flint Hall, in honor of Staufer Publications, Inc., and a Basisdator of the school.
THE FACULTY VOTED that the name should be changed to Stauffer Hall last July.
Del Brinkman, dean of journalism,
said yesterday that the University
Committee on Name Changes had
encouraged the use of both names for
the building.
"With the change in name, we recognize the important contributions of Oscar S. Stauffer, while at the same time retaining the recognition and
traditions of achievements of Leon Nelson Flint," he said.
Tracee Hamilton, an alumnus of the school, disagrees
"I'M VERY DISPLEASED," she said. "The hyphenated name change is going to be here."
Hamilton won the editorial writing category of the William Randolph Hearst Foundation this year with her column that opposed the name change.
"I don't think it will ever be referred to as Staffer-Fitt Hall," she said.
Lee Young, professor of journalism,
said that he accepted the compromise
but that he wondered what the building
would be called.
"I SUSPECT SOME of the old timers
Mary Wallace, assistant dean of journalism, said, "I had some concern that the second name would be forgotten. But, I think it's a good name change. It recognizes two men who gave so much to the school."
will say "Flint" and some of the newer students will say "Stauffer", he said.
Leo Flint taught journalism at the University from 1906 to 1946, and served as chairman of what was then the department of journalism for 25 years.
One of his students was Oscar Stauffer, who contributed scholarships for students as well as a professorships with $41 million in 1970 to renovate Flint Hall.
The Elizabeth M. Watkins Community Museum will display photographs and photographic equipment in the exhibit "Photographers of Lawrence and Douglas County — 1838-1960."
Watkins Museum to exhibit old and recent local photos
Included in the exhibit are more than 100 portraits and scenes by 16 commercial photographers who worked in the area during that time. Noted photographers of recent times who are highlighted include Alfred D. Lawrence, Duke D'Amba and Orval Hixon.
The exhibit also includes copies of
40 rare stereoscopic photos, dating from 1865 to 1903, by photographers Alexander Gardner, William Lamon and Charles Ahlstrum.
In addition to the photographs and equipment, the museum also will display 19th century room settings, including a small reed organ.
The exhibit also includes an 80-year-old teddy bear.
The exhibit begins tomorrow and will run through Thursday. Sept. 15 to Saturday, Oct. 6. Tuesday through Saturday and from 3:00 p.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday.
Regents to examine programs
The first in a series of reviews of KU academic programs will begin tomorrow, Stanley Koplik, executive director of the Board of Regents, said yesterday.
He said a three-member committee from the Board of Regents would review the School of Architecture tomorrow, the School of Engineering
July 15 and the departments of physical and biological sciences later this year
The committee will look for strengths and weaknesses in the programs and will suggest changes in programs that are deemed inadequate, he said.
David Kraft, dean of engineering, said he would try to show the committee the school's need for more instructional equipment in labs.
