Dreyer Resigns As Geology Head
Dr. Robert M. Dreyer, chairman of the geology department, has resigned as chairman to devote full time to his teaching job as professor of geology, Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy has announced.
The resignation will be effective July 1. No successor has beer named.
Dr. Dreyer asked to be relieved of his administrative duties to devote more time to research in the fields of mineralogy, geophysics, and economic geology.
Dr. Dreyer, who has been an instructor at the University since 1939, succeeded Prof. L. R. Laudon as chairman of the department four years ago. He was granted a four-year leave of absence during World War II when he served with the Navy.
Dr. Dreyer is a fellow of the Mineralogy Society of America and of the Society of Exploration Geophysicists.
"I regret that Professor Dreyer has decided to give up his administrative duties in the geology department," Chancellor Murphy said. "The University is exceedingly grateful for the many accomplishments of the department during his tenure as chairman and his devotion to its interests."
Pick Up Western Civ Appointment Slips
Students enrolled in Western Civilization for the spring semester are to pick up their appointment slips in Strong Annex C from 8:30 a.m. to noon and from 1:15 to 5 p.m. tomorrow.
This is a decline of only 431 from the register at the same period in September, and of 308 from the spring semester of 1951. However, Registrar James K. Hitt expects few more than 50 late enrollments so the difference will be somewhat greater.
Of the total, 5,251 are at Lawrence, and 600 are attending the Kansas City division of the School of Medicine.
Fewer than 500 veterans are studying on the Lawrence campus under the GI bill of rights, Mr. Hitt said, although several hundred more are in school but drawing no deferment benefits.
The comparison between spring and fall semester enrollments appears to be the most favorable of the post-war period. This is an indication of a return to the September- June schedule of study with a great majority of students planning to finish their studies in June.
In comparison with enrollment a year ago, there was a drop of 1,200 students at this time last year. On the other hand, the number of new students enrolling at this time last year was 322, considerably more than this year's figure.
The trend has been established since the decline in enrollment following the departure of the large number of veterans.
University enrollment from 1866 to 1930 is shown for every fifth year in the table below. Yearly enrollment is shown from 1830 through 1955.

Kansan Sports 'New Look' Today
Does the Kansan look different to you? It's not the paper—it's still white. It's not the ink—it's still black. (And if you're the critical type you'll say even the news is the same.)
The change is the Kansan's new flag—"nameplate" if you're not familiar with journalistic terminology. If you like it, let the editor know. If you don't, let him know why.
The flag is technically described as having a cursive type face in a member of the Brush family.
