Lashbrook Is New Head Of Classics
After more than two decades as chairman of the department of classics and classical archaeology, Dr. L. R. Lind is handing that administrative responsibility to Dr. Austin M. Lashbrook, an associate professor and member of the faculty for five years.
When Dr. Lind recently was appointed University distinguished professor, it became mandatory for him to devote full time to teaching and research. The University distinguished professorships, authorized a year ago by the Board of Regents, provide both recognition and salary benefits to outstanding faculty.
Dr. Lashbrook has set up new teacher-training programs in Latin and has maintained liaison with high school teachers in the state. He was largely responsible for KU's being the site of Latin's first "triple header" last summer—the annual meetings of the Latin Institute of the American Classical League and the Junior Classical League, and the official teachers' workshop of the American Classical League.
Dr. Lashbrook holds the Ph.D. degree from the University of Pennsylvania. He has taught at the Universities of Illinois, Iowa and Kentucky.
A second summer teachers' workshop starts this week.
Dr. Lind, who has been at Kansas 24 years, is known to students as an excellent teacher and to scholars as a prolific author and translator. He is the author of 10 books and many more scholarly articles. Many of his translations are of materials dealing with early medicine and science.
For several years his research has been subsidized by the U.S. Public Health Service.
Mrs. Murray Sees Hawaii As Her Haven
BALTMORE — (UP.) — Mrs. Madalyn Murray, who fought successfully to have the U.S. Supreme Court issue its public school prayer ban decision last year, plans to ask the governor of Hawaii for religious asylum.
Mrs. Murray is an avowed atheist, as are her two sons, Garth, 9, and Bill, 18.
The Murray family left here bound for Hawaii Tuesday along with Bill's bride, the former Susan Abramovitz. 17.
Mrs. Murray and her elder son are free under bond, charged with assaulting police during a fracas at their home here Saturday. Police came to the Murray home to serve Susan with a contempt citation for allegedly violating a judicial order to remain in the custody of an aunt and uncle.
The girl's parents accused Mrs. Murray of influencing Susan to leave the Jewish faith. At the time it was not revealed that Susan and Bill were married.
Mrs. Murray insists "we are fleeing for our lives" and that when the family arrives in Hawaii "I will ask not to be extradited back to Baltimore, where they're out to get me.
"Hawaii is 85 per cent Buddhist," she continued, "and Buddhists are absolute atheists who believe in ethics and high principles as I do."
