Dean Woodruff-
Continued from page 1
Continued from page 1 tion of the dean of students in 1953. This 14-year reign ends today, as Woodruff steps down from his position to become a professor of biology and entomology for five more years.
In addition to his administrative responsibilities involved in his work as dean of students, Woodruff serves on many committees and is a member of numerous organizations. He serves as chairman of the Aids and Awards Committee, the Orientation Committee, the Eligibility Committee, the Disciplinary Committee, the University Human Relations Committee and the Council on Human Affairs.
He is a member of numerous other organizations, among them Sigma Xi, Phi Sigma, Sigma Chi, the University Events Committee, the Dean's Advisory Council, and the Athletic Board. Although these extra activities are time-consuming, Woodruff has been able to collaborate with Ruth E. McNair to write "Laboratory Directions in General Biology," which was first published in 1947 and revised in 1958 and 1962.
WOODRUFF'S LONG residency in Lawrence enables him to note the many changes that have come over the years. "Lawrence has grown tremendously, yet it still has some elements of a college town. The University is not engulfed in an industrial, urban area where it would lose something of its sentiment and efficiency.
"Of course, there are cultural and recreational advantages that would be lost if it were not for the University."
Woodruff built his home at 2 Westwood Road, about a block from Daisy Field, in 1941. "There weren't so many houses out there then; people thought we were
crazy to go so far from town. Now we're in the center of everything.
CHANGES IN the University were also explained by Woodruff. "When I was a student here in the early 20's, there were 3,500 students, at the most. Before World War II, enrollment increased to almost 5,000. During the War, enrollment fell to 2,500. After the War, GIs invaded the campus and enrollment surged. By 1950 we had 10,000 students. After tapering off in the early 50's to about 8,000, enrollment has gradually gone upward, and presently stands at more than 15,000.
"The increase in size created problems we are struggling with. They aren't all solved, but we are trying to keep a balance so a student can feel that he is an individual, not just that he is an IBM card or a number. We seek the proper ratio between teacher and students." Woodruff also explained that the present student-faculty ratio is 16 to 1.
"There has been a great upsurge in everything — housing, student services, ways to do things. There has also been a resurgence of scholarship and research.
"WE ARENT doing as good a job as we would like to, but on the whole our efforts accomplish as much as they can rightfully be expected to."
Woodruff also feels that students today are different than the students of his time. "Students today are so much better prepared for college than I was—they have had better teaching, better communications, and more travel. When I was 18, I had barely been out of Kansas. When I was in college, a trip to Kansas City was tremendous—it took us two hours to get there, if it was dry enough, because there were no paved roads."

New faces lead squad
By DAVID BEEDE
Seven new faces on the KU football staff and two old regulars will guide the Jayhawks to hopeful success this fall. The Jayhawks open gridiron action against Stanford on foreign territory September 23.
New head coach Frank "Peper" Rodgers foresees some obstacles for the Jayhawks next season. "We'll probably be a better football team than most of the experts will figure us, but not as good as the alumni will expect," concluded Rodgers after spring practice.
Rodgers is backed by eight experienced assistants.
John Cooper, graduate of Iowa State University, will train the varsity defends backs. Last season Cooper was an assistant at UCLA.
COACHING the defensive ends and linebackers for the Jayhawks next season will be Jack Green. Green was head coach at Vanderbilt last season. KU roster promises Green some top notch material to work with. Mike Sweatman, Big Eight linebacker of the year and the Jayhawkers' leading tackler for two straight years, will be back on the job for the Jayhawks. Designated to stop end runs on the right side is defensive end, John Zook, Vernon Vanoy will be handling the left side.
Dave McClain, who played his college ball at Bowling Green, will coach the defensive interior linemen during the 1967 season for the Jayhawks. Last season McClain was assistant at Miami of Ohio.
Dick Tomey, assistant at Davidson last season, will be the freshman team coach and will also work with the varsity
LARRY TRAVIS, 1963 graduate from Florida will coach the offensive guards and centers. His plans include using a flip-flop line with the multiple "T" offense.
The flip-flop line will also be one of the main concerns of Don Fambrough. Fambrough will take charge of the offensive tackles and tight ends. He has been at his alma mater for 16 years as a coach.
Helping head coach Pepper Rodgers with the offense will be Charlie McCullers. This year KU will run a multiple T type offense. McCullers was assistant at Parsons, Iowa, last year.
Floyd Temple will train the Jayhawks in varsity fundamentals next season. Temple is a 1950 graduate of Kansas and has been KU's baseball coach since 1954.
Daniels dies-
Continued from page 1
Continued from page 1 utes later, Palmer called the KU Traffic and Security office, requesting information about Daniel's car.
KU immediately responded with a description of the car and its license number. Within seconds, every law officer within a large radius was watching for the car.
The lookout for the auto had been in effect only a few minutes when a Kansas Highway Patrolman spotted it about 12 miles west of Junction City and gave chase.
ROADBLOCKS were ordered set up, and a chase began that saw speeds over 90 mph, crashes thru several roadblocks, and a running gun battle between police and an occupant of the car.
The chase continued for 20 miles then ended abruptly when the car crashed into a building under a hail of fire from Salina police.
Ambulances were called to the scene and Daniels, the innocent victim of circumstances, was removed from his smashed car and taken to an emergency room of the hospital.
Sparks was also injured in the crash, but he is expected to recover. Lynch, the older of the two men, was uninjured.
SALINA'S ACTING Chief of Police, Jack Richardson, told newsman that only two people were visible in the car during the time Salina police chased it. He said they didn't know a hostage was in the vehicle.
Daniels was working on his Masters degree in Radio and TV. The Bird City student was formerly president of Alpha Epsilon Rho, national honorary organization for radio and TV students. During his senior year, he was treasurer of that organization.
He had worked for KU radio station KUOK, and was a member of the KU Marching Band, and the KU Concert Band. He had served as a counselor at Ellsworth Hall.
