Marvin I. Dunn yesterday was named dean of the School of Medicine at the University of Kansas College of Health Sciences, effective Nov. 3.
He will replace James T. Lowman, whose resignation is effective Nov. 1.
The announcement was made by Acting Chancellor Del Shankel and David Waxman, executive vice chancellor at the KU Med Center.
Acting Chancellor Del Shankel said he pleased with Dunn's appointment.
"I am delighted that he is willing to serve as dean," Shankel said.

division of cardiovascular disease there. He will retain both positions.
Dunn, of Mission Hills, received his undergraduate and graduate degrees from KU. He also completed his military training at the KU Med Center.
He has been a member of the Med Center staff since 1966, when he started his career.
"I am really looking forward to a big challenge in my new position," Dunn said.
Dunn said that he planned no major changes in the School of Medicine, but that he would have to make various appointments.

The Answer is Renewable Energy Sources.
It is imperative that the State of Kansas takes an aggressive role in the development of renewable energy sources. This effort, along with stricter conservation practices, can turn us in the direction of fewer demands, reduced risks, less damage, and in the long run it will be far less costly.
A Proven Commitment . . .
to the Community and the State.
