STUDENT NEWS PAPER
Zipple To Resign As Union Director
Miss Hermina Zipple announced her resignation as director of the Memorial Union building today. It will be effective Friday, June 15.
She will be succeeded by L. E. Woolley who is now manager of the Student Union bookstore, Chancellor Deane W. Malott has announced.
'I shall regret leaving those won-◇
derfully fine associations and warm friendships formed particularly with students and faculty," Miss Zippie said. "These have been fifteen years full of challenge in building the Union and the food services of the University."
Miss Zipple came to the University in the fall of 1936 as director of the Union food services and assistant professor of home economics. She was named director of the Union one year later. Besides her duties with the Union she has taught the course "Institution Administration."
Chancellor Malott said, "We regret the loss of Miss Mizzip's service. When she came here the Union was in its infancy with all the attendant problems, and through many difficult years she kept it on an even financial keel. In more recent years she has successfully coped with the service problems of thousands of meals in a single day."
Laurence Woodruff, chairman of the Union operating committee, expressed appreciation of Miss Zipple's loyal service to the University.
"Miss Zipple has served the University of Kansas well during her 15 years as Union director," he said. "The services of the Union builders have grown immeasurably through her management in spite of the terrific demands of the military units during the war, and the needs of the horde of students returning thereafter."
Mr. Woolley will continue to manage the Union bookstore.
"Her devotion and service to this institution will always be remembered."
Donald Powell who will graduate in June from the K.U. School of Business, will be assistant bookstore manager. Mr. Woolley said.
"There will be no immediate changes in personnel or policies." Mr. Woollev said. "Expansion of the Union building is creating many new problems, the solution of which will require the closest cooperation between building personnel and those who use the building. The director's office will be moved to the lobby floor."
Mr. Woolley received his A.B. degree in economics in 1940 from Washburn college. He did graduate work at K.U. in 1941 and served as an assistant instructor in the correspondence study division.
Later in 1941, he accepted the position with Cermara Aircraft corporation in Wichita. From 1944 to 1946 he served with the Navy as an aviation supply officer. While in the Navy, Mr. Woolley wrote a textbook on aviation supply.
Mr. Woolley returned to K.U. in 1946 as an assistant instructor in the School of Business. The summer of 1946 he organized the Student Union bookstore and has its manager since that time. He also teaches courses in credit managing and industrial purchasing.
He is congressional representative for the National Association of College stores, making all official appearances for that group before the Federal Trade commission and congressional committees on matters concerning postal rates.

BULLETIN
Two Regents Still Claim Seats
Topeka (U.F.)—The Kansas board of regents voted 7-1 today to seat A. W. Hershberger of Wichita instead of Jerry Driscoll of Russell in the hotly-disputed ninth board seat.
Topeka (U.P.) — The Kansas board of regents opened its May day meeting here today with a problem.
Two attorneys, Jerry Driscoll and A. W. Hershberger, for the second time, claimed the same seat on the board.
They both finally agreed to a "non - voting truce" in order to facilitate the business operations of the board.
The fight for the ninth seat on the board broke out in full fury a month ago when both men appeared at the April meeting of the board.
But after the truce Mr. Driscoll, defended his position as being entitled to the seat, quoting law governing appointments to the board.
"The truce is ended," Mr. Griffith, said "and Mr. Driscoll will vote and take his full share in the proceedings of the meeting.
Mr. Driscoll's attorney, Barton Griffith, today said Mr. Driscoll would "assume his office" at the meeting.
The mixup began in the closing days of the 1951 legislature when Gov. Edward F. Arn included the name of Herb Barr, as his recommendation for the seat on the board of regents. The Senate balked and ended its meeting without confirming Mr. Barr's appointment. Mr. Driscoll had held the regent's seat for several years prior to that time
Both Mr. Driscoll and Mr. Hershberger agreed that the dispute could be settled by a decision of the Kansas Supreme Court.
Gov. Arn later appointed Mr. Hershberger to the seat as a replacement for him was made. But the Senate was made too late to sequem Senate.approval.
But both declined to instigate the suit on the grounds that the other, being in the position of a claimant, should start the legal action.
WEATHER
KANSAS: Mostly cloudy. Thundershowers this afternoon and in eastern three quarters of state tonight. Cooler northeast tonight. Saturday partly cloudy with local thundershowers eastern two thirds of state. Cooler extreme east.
Allied armored relief columns were racing north to aid the endangered division.
At last reports the American division was fighting south in a rearguard action against overwhelming Chinese Communists forces closing in from three sides.
Heavily censored dispatches said the South Korean division was endangered southeast of Inje in the area where the Reds made the first major breakthrough of their one million-man offensive.
Allied troops abandoned their last foothold in North Korea and pulled back the entire eastern half of their line to seal off the Communist breakthrough.
The Reds established a roadblock on the Hyon-Hongchon road far behind the lines, apparently on the escape route for some of the endangered allied units.
The fury of the Communist attack gained momentum during the day, but Allied officers were confident it ultimately would be stopped despite the Red breakthrough.
The Communist armies are now making another futile attempt to destroy the United Nations forces in korea," Lt. Gen. James A. Van Fleet said in a message of encouragement to his hard-pressed forces. Allied artillery and air attacks slaughtered the Reds by the thousands. But still they rolled on in human sea attacks and bent back the entire eastern half of the line.
The U.S. Eighth Army, in retreat on the eastern and east central fronts, gave up attempts to estimate Communist casualties left on the abandoned battlefields.
But front reports said 10,000 Reds were killed or wounded in the U.S. 10th corps area alone and another 10,000 elsewhere along the flaming front.
New thousands were added to the toll as the Reds renewed their assault with maniacal fury before dawn today. Allied planes and artillery mowed down 1,300 Reds in a few hours along the Inje-Hongchon highway. Another 8,000 were taken under a gigantic air-artillery attack in a single buildup area.
"They are wading through anything until they are down or dead, and they are entirely oblivious to their own losses," an officer said about the Red attacks.
The Communists also struck on the western end of the line around Seoul. Hundreds were killed by artillery while pouring across the Pukhan river dam about 20 miles east of Seoul. But the Reds poured on south despite their losses.
