Winnie Lowrance To Retire in June
A KU professor of languages will retire following this semester after a 31-year teaching association with the university.
Winnie D. Lowrance, associate professor of Latin and Greek, has been teaching at KU since 1929.
Prof. Lowrance came to KU from the University of California where she taught Latin from 1926 to 1929. She received her Ph.D. there in 1929.
Prof. Lowrance said she has had many gratifying experiences during her teaching career but that the personal relationship with the students has been the most rewarding.
"In the past ten years," she said. "students have shifted their interests from the classical languages such as Latin and Greek, to the modern languages of French and German
"Because of this shift," she added, "my classes here at KU have not been crowded and I have a chance to get to know some of my students personally."
"Students have been wonderful to me," she said with a smile. "I really have enjoyed being a part of their life especially when they discussed their new car, new hair style, new coat, or other personal subjects with me."
She said that the new foreign language requirement of 16 hours has changed the number of students enrolled in some of her classes already. She added, however, that the new requirement probably would not

make too much difference in the number of major students in the classical languages. She said that there are only four or five majors in the classical languages now
What now for Prof. Lowrance?
"Retirement for me," she said, "does not mean any less work. It is only a shift of available time so I can do some things I have neglected in the past."
Prof. Lowrance, who will live in Lawrence after retiring, said she had several research projects to finish. She also plans to renew her activities with the local League of Women Voters of which she was president from 1938 to 1941.
Prof. Lowrance received her A.B. degree in 1909 and M.A. degree in 1911 from Southwestern University in Georgetown, Tex. She taught Latin at Texas State College for Women and Hood College before going to the University of California in 1926.
Modern-day efficiency and economy have claimed one of the last reminders of the University's founding tradition.
University officials have decided to drop the name of North College Hall. Hereafter, it will be referred to simply as the north division of Corbin Hall. The site of the present dormitory for women, 11th and Louisiana Streets, was where old North College, the first building of the University, was located.
By John Peterson
North College was the lone building of the University when KU opened for classes for the first time in 1866. The faculty consisted of Chancellor R. W, Oliver and Professors Snow, Robinson and Rice.
The Pentagon reportedly has scrapped one of the favorite words of World War II, "snafu" (situation normal, all fouled up), and replaced it with "fubb" (fouled up beyond belief) — Walter Trohan.

Grad Student Tries to Bring Student Court Action on ASC
"The only primary issue at stake is whether the ASC can ignore its own laws—whenever it feels them to be inconvenient—without any legal process being involved," wrote Kennedy in a letter to the editor.
Denis Kennedy, Dublin, Ireland graduate student, told the Daily Kansan last night that he had engaged legal representatives to bring Student Court action against the All Student Council.
"There is no comparison possible between the position of AWS 'observers' and the foreign student 'representative'. The foreign students . . . are entitled to representation—which is explicitly spelled out in (ASC) bill number 2."
Two Tokyo Youths Daily Try Suicide
Kennedy referred to the ASC's disposition to deny him a vote on the council, claiming that the foreign student representative is not entitled to voting privileges.
ASC spokesmen have said that representation by vote is granted through living groups, and that foreign students are represented through their living groups.
TOKYO — (UPI) — Tokyo teenagers are attempting suicide at the rate of nearly two a day, according to the metropolitan police board
It attributed the "alarming rate to a growing "emotional instability" among young people.
The board said 182 teen-agers had tried to end their lives so far this year in the city and 72 of them were successful.
James T. Graves, Lawrence three year law, and Ivan O. Poe, Lawrence second year law, were named by Kennedy as his legal representatives.
"It is my personal opinion," said Graves, "that the Student Court would not have jurisdiction over the case, but it should go before the Disciplinary Committee. However, that will be up to the Court to decide."
"The Student Court will probably hear the case Tuesday or Wednesday night next week," said Poe.
Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of the student health service, and Dr. H. G. Whittington, instructor of social work and psychiatrist for the student health service attended the annual meeting of the American College Health Association in Toronto, Canada.
Two KU Doctors Attend Meeting
The two Lawrence men were representatives of the Student Health Service of the University of Kansas at the meeting which started on April 27 and continued through the 30th.
dormitory, its namesake, was dedicated May 27, 1951.
J. J. Wilson, director of dormitories, said that the decision had been to drop the name because it was ridiculous to operate the structure as two buildings when the two had been incorporated into one.
Dr. Canuteson reported on a survey of the accreditation status of college health service hospitals. Watkins Memorial Hospital is one of 18 such hospitals in the United States to be fully accredited, a rating it has held for 20 years.
Dr. H. G. Whittington presented a paper in psychiatrical therapy for college students.
The changing of the name is not official as of yet because naming and changing of names of buildings requires action by the state Board of Regents. Mr. Wilson said the official action would be taken in the near future.
Corbin Hall, which will now include both divisions of the building, is named after Alberta Corbin, longtime dean of women at the University.
She was instrumental in obtaining the first dormitory for women in the early 1920's.

"There is one director for the dormitory, one switchboard and frankly, it's just more simple and efficient to operate the building as one unit," Mr. Wilson said.
