Corwin Resigns; Charges Too Many Bosses'
By JAMES MORRIS
Robert Corwin, chief of traffic control at the University, announced his resignation today. It will become effective Monday, Oct. 25.
"I have enjoyed my job at the University," he said. "I want to thank everyone for the co-operation they have given me in establishing an enviable low accident rate. But I am resigning because I have too many bosses."
Chief of traffic control since Feb. 24,1947 when he replaced Chester Foster,Mr.Corwin said that too many persons are trying to run traffic control.
"When I was appointed chief, the
chancellor told me to go ahead and
do what I thought would be necessa-
sary to straighten out the traffic
situation. This turned out to be
harder than it seemed.
"I had to fight for almost a year before I could obtain official authority to arrest traffic violators. Additional parking space was requested, but two years has seen a decrease, not an increase, in available space," he said.
Mr. Corwin named the library lot, and zones D, J, and A, as parking areas now unavailable to accommodate the bulk of parking applications, zone A, now a free zone, resulted in a 300-car loss, he added.
The traffic chief said he had accepted a position with the Kansas City branch of Rexair, Inc. The company manufactures air conditioners and humidifiers.
Mr. Corwin also said, "If anyone is interested in cheap transportation, I have a motorcycle for sale."
Watch Out For Thieves
Be on guard against thieves during the Homecoming weekend. That's the advice of both Laurence C. Woodruff, dean of men, and C. A. Diesner, Lawrence chief of police.
"Although organized houses face a more acute problem, "I would like to warn all students to be especially watchful during Homecoming," Dean Woodruff said. He pointed that the crowds and excitement during Homecoming make ideal situations for thieves.
Chief Bliesner said that Homecoming weekend has always proved fruitful for thieves. "They generally take money, and unless they are caught in the act, it is difficult to apprehend them," said the chief. "Hide your valuables."
"Organized houses should make arrangements for someone to stay at the house during the football game to check on strangers who come in." Chief Bliesner said. Largest losses of past years have occurred during game time when the houses are usually empty.

TB Article By Canuteson
Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of University Health service, has had an article, "Tuberculosis Case-finding in College," published in the October issue of the Journal of the Kansas Medical society.
From 1932 to 1946 a total of 24,468 students and employees of the University of Kansas were tested for tuberculosis, the article says.
In it he stresses the need for testing young people for the disease, and explained the method of testing students at the University of Kansas.
The first 45-minute services of the Christian Science organization will be held at 7:30 tonight in Danforth chapel. The length of the services was changed from 30 minutes at a business meeting Oct. 14.
"On the basis of reaction to tuberculin and subsequent chest x-ray, 69 cases of reinfection type tuberculosis were diagnosed and 29 cases were found to have active infections," Dr. Canutson writes. To follow up the program of checking students on their entrance to the college, films were made at periods of one to three months.
The next 40 years of a student's life may depend on a 15-minute interview at K.U., Frank Pinet, director of the business placement bureau, said Wednesday. Business majors should give this interview much consideration, he said.
Service To Be In Chapel
Speaking to the Advancement of Management society on "Interviewee Behavior," Mr. Pinet said that neatness, curiosity about the firm and one's future with it, and courtesy counted most in the interview. He also advised the interviewee to keep his sense of humor and maintain poise during the interview.
Pinet Advises SAM On Interviews
Mr. Pinet cautioned the students that "the most important selling job of your lives in the future is that of selling yourselves."
Wilkins' Recital Offers Interesting Solos, Duets
Rv NORMA HUNSINGER
Marie and Joseph Wilkins presented the second faculty recital of the year Wednesday night in Hoch auditorium.
They offered an exceptionally interesting program of operatic duets and both classic and modern solos. Perhaps the most outstanding number was the "Finale" of Act I of Puccini's "Madame Butterfly." The duet "Unterm Fenster" by Schumann was well-liked.
Two of the contemporary Brazilian numbers sung by Mrs. Wilkins, "Bachiarias Brasileiras" and "Estrella E Lua Nova" were popular, as was the excerpt from "The Telephone" by Menotti. Mr. Wilkins sang a group of modern numbers; outstanding 'among them was "Claribel" (Vaughan Williams) and "Long Ago in Alcalz" (Messenger).
The duets were outstanding in that the two voices blended and harmonized so well. They had good balance and were positive in pitch.
Mrs. Wilkins' soprano voice shows extensive training and control. She brought intelligent taste and style to phrasing and interpretation. She was able to show emotional warmth and abandon in the arias by Villa-Lobos and Donizetti, but became completely relaxed and colorful only in the excerpt from "The Telephone."
Mr. Wilkins at times seemed to have a baritone rather than a tenor voice, as his high notes were occasionally tight and forced. His voice is mellow and resonant in the middle register, however, and in the aria from "LArlesiana" by Cilea and the duet from "Madame Butterfly" showed impressive strength and coloring.
They were excellently accompanied by Winifred Hill Gallup.
4 Students In Recital
Four fine arts students will appear in the student recital at 3 p.m. today in Frank Strong auditorium
