Professors lauded during dedication ceremonies
By SHARON APPELBAUM Staff Reporter
Retired faculty who had worked with them years ago came back to honor them.
Administrators and faculty who had only heard of their achievements came.
About 150 people packed into the Watkins Room of the Kansas University yesterday for the dedication of two auditoriums honoring two former KU professors: Cora M. Downs, Summerfield distinguished professor of microbiology, and Ray Q. Brewster, professor of chemistry.
IN THE CEREMONY, the auditorium in Dyche Hall was named for Downs and the auditorium on the front of Strong Hall was named for Brewer.
In laudatory speeches, University administrators and faculty explained why the auditorium were dedicated.
Chancellor E. A. Budig said, "Cora Daws and Ray Brewster epitomize the achievements we look for in our careers. Our careers remain a model for all of the us."
Robert Cobb, executive vice chancellor, said they exemplified "the best a college professor can assemble to."
Professors who had worked with the honorees during their tenure here introduced them.
Jacob Kleinberg, professor of chemistry, said Brewster had met him at the train station when he came for a job interview in 1946.
He said that while Brewster was chairman of the chemistry department he worked to bring the first blacks and Orientals to the faculty.
HE SAID Brewster wrote the first
textbook using the electronic approach to chemistry, which has been widely used.
crewster was instrumental in getting funds to build Malott Hall. Previously the department was housed in Bailey Hall, Kleinberg said.
Also, Kleinberg said, "He gave us a sense of identity, a sense of common purpose."
Then, David Paretsky, professor of microbiology, spoke of Downs.
Paretksy had said before that Downs' greatest accomplishment came in 1968 when she developed a fluorescent staining technique that enabled her to identify viruses easily. This discovery was amlauded around the world, he said.
He said yesterday, "The University of Kansas obtains honors for itself in honoring Dr. Downs."
He said, "She has earned the pinnacle of respect."
AFTER EACH introductory speech, bronze plaques were unveiled bearing the names and honors of each professor.
Jim Scaly, administrative assistant to the chancellor, who was responsible for planning the dedication, said those plaques would bung as soon as the day it arrived.
Downs, 1646 Alabama St., had told the University, "I can't imagine why you'd name an auditorium for me."
Both Brewster and Downs have remained modest about their honors.
Brewster, 1421 Kahoon Drive had said, "I'm greatly honored to have an auditorium dedicated in my name—little as I deserve it."
Asked what she 'thought of the dedication, Downs said, "I'm glad they all came."

Stouffer tenants face rent hike
Stouffer Place residents will pay a rent increase if the chancellor and the Board of Regents approve the proposals made yesterday by the Residential Programs Advisory Board. One-bedroom rent will increase 12 percent and two-bedroom rent will increase 14 percent. That increase, if approved, would raise rent from $125 to $140 and from $140 to 180.
After the board's last scheduled meeting next week, the proposals go to David Ambler, vice chancellor for student affairs, Chancellor Gene A. Budig and the Regents for final approval.
The approval should be complete by January.
Approved unanimously by the board yesterday was a change in billing for residence hall contracts. Instead of 10 monthly installments, the board voted to have 11. A smaller down payment was also approved.
The change would increase the monthly payments by $5 for 11 months
and decrease the down payment.
Overall, residence hall costs would increase to $170 for single occupancy apartments and $230 for multi-occupancy as approved at the 07.22 meeting.
Last year, the contracts cost from
$1,662 to $1,773 for single occupancy and
from $2,502 to $2,613 for double
occupancy. Next year, single occupancy
will cost from $1,832 to $1,943 and
double occupancy will cost from $2,757
to $2,868.
Conflicting views arose when Layne Pierce, the Stouffer Neighborhood Association representative on the board, proposed that the association receive 1 percent of the total collected permits from Place, or $2,300. The proposal was voted down.
"I question that high amount," said Brenda Darrow, president of the Association of University Residence Halls.
The proposal was amended to give the association $2,640, or 0.5 percent of the total rent of Stouffer Place.
