Dean Woodruff Enjoys Antiques
By Willis Henson
When L. C. Woodruff dean of students, is not tending to his administrative duties, or his biology class, he engages in revamping antique furniture.
Actually, Mrs. Woodruff started the furniture campaign. "She is the bargainer," Dean Woodruff said, who directs the program at their one-and-a-half story home.
"At first, we just used what was handy," he said, "but later we began to purchase antique pieces." Last summer the Woodruffs refinished a grand piano.
HE PROUDLY EXPLAINED the slow process which included cleaning the piano with paint remover, steel wool and sand paper.
L. C. Woodruff
Dean Woodruff's latest project was the refinishing of a large walnut chest. He boasts that he has refinished every piece of furniture in the dining room of his home.
The Woodruffs early American period furniture is cherry in color. Though Dean Woodruff likes mahogany he explained that mahogany was an unheard of color by early Americans.
Dean Woodruff now teaches only one biology lecture section this semester, though he has taught as many as three sections.
Asked why he preferred both to teach and continue his job as an administrator, Dean Woodruff said "we are all in the business of education." "A dean is an enigma to many students." Dean Woodruff continued. He feels that by continuing to teach, a better student-teacher relationship can be developed.
DEAN WOODRUFF also has spent many years preparing himself to teach others. He received his A.B. degree in biology and entomology from KU in 1924.
In 1930, Dean Woodruff was granted his M.A. and went to Cornell University as an instructor in biology. He returned to KU in 1934 as an assistant professor of entomology.
He served as registrar of the University from 1942-1946 when he was made professor of biology. He was appointed Dean of Men in 1947. In 1953 he became Dean of Students.
HE SAID that he acts as a "coordinator of all aspects of student life outside the classroom." These aspects include student housing, health, scholarships, athletics, the Union building and other aids.
As Dean of Students, Dean Woodrufl said "I don't see too many students."
To relieve himself from the tensions of his university duties. Dean Woodruff reads often and gardens a little.
During the summer, Dean Woodruff leaves his desk job behind and travels extensively.
"I am a lover of wildlife," he said. Dean Woodruff has found his "Utopia" for such enjoyment "in a little town in Florida."
GUARDING HIS PRIVATE domain like a fisherman would his good-luck fishing hole, Dean Wood-ruff described it as "a town where no one knows you."
He said the town had no telephones. It does have a beach however. Dean Woodruff said he likes to sit and watch the waves roll and toss.
"I could sit for hours and watch the waves. It has a particular fascination for me," he said.
DEAN WOODRUFF does a little fishing on his vacation trips. Once he caught a 50-pound tarpon, a large game-fish found in the waters off the southeastern coast of the United States and in the Gulf of Mexico.
Asked if he liked boating, Dean Woodruff said he found boat trips boring. "I would rather swim in the seacoast water," he said.
In Florida, the 50-pound fish was not given a second look because it seemed commonplace. Dean Woodruff said. He did not even have it mounted. Only his rod and reel remain as a reminder of the accomplishment.
Movers Stack Books in Streets
POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. — (UPI)—The state asked book dealer John Lindmark to move his 200,000 volume collection and make way for a highway, but he refused. So the state is doing the job for him.
The task of moving the books, valued by Lindmark at $3 million, is expected to take 15 men 10 days. And when they are finished the books will be stacked three feet high
"Lindmark was served with an eviction notice two weeks ago." City Marshal Herman Soloway said yesterday. "He refused to do anything so we began removing the books."
THE CONTROVERSY began three years ago when New York State set plans for a new north-south arterial here. State officials said they had trouble negotiating with Lindmark and the case finally was settled in the courts. The eviction notice was signed a year ago but held up while officials tried to convince Lindmark to move.
The book dealer claimed he could not afford to move the books and had no place to move them.
"WHEN I LEAVE at four o'clock in the afternoon, they're all his responsibility," he said. "The police are maintaining their regular patrols but nothing else. And if it rains, all those books are going to be ruined."
Soloway said once the books begin to create a problem on the street, the city will take action against Lindmark.
"We're piling the books into the scoop of a bulldozer and taking them outside." Soloway said. "We've built stalls at three feet high along the sidewalk so they can be stacked.

The Class of '64 will carry on the old traditions under a new program, according to Jerry Pullins, Council Grove junior and president of next year's senior class.
Pullins said the new program includes the creation of senior house representatives, who will be useful in getting the seniors organized, interested and working.
He explained that there will be two senior representatives in each fraternity, sorority and scholarship hall, and one on each floor of the residence halls. These representatives will begin to work this year, he said.

Senior Committees Open for Applicants
Applications for senior class committees are still available.
Jerry Pullins, Council Grove junior and next year's senior class president, said applications may be obtained in all organized houses and in the Alumunl Office. 127 Strong Hall.
He said the representatives would also be an important channel in choosing the senior gift and the design for senior sweatshirts.
Applications must be turned in by April 30 to the Alumni Office.
Pullins said applicants will have their first, second and third choice among 12 committees: Publicity, Gift, HOPE Award, Calendar, Special Events, Secretarial, Regalia (including sweatshirts), Invitations, Rings, Senior Day, and Picnic, and Senior Breakfast.
Pullins said the special events committee would be the "brainstorming" committee of the program. He said several new ideas for senior functions have been suggested, such as class intramurals and a baseball game played on donkeys.
Many of the committees will begin to work as soon as they are chosen, he said. He said the committees would be headed by co-chairmen, one man and one woman.

Pullins said he plans a monthly meeting of all committee chairmen so that activities might be coordinated. At these meetings committee chairmen will give progress reports, which will be placed in a senior file for future use.
He said senior parties would also be organized somewhat differently. He cited the possibility of having a street party for the seniors.
Pullins said improvement is needed in some areas, such as the senior calendar.
Pullins said he feels the plans will be successful. "The seniors have a lot in common. It's their last year."
Soviet Union Ignores Nuclear Test Ban Plea
GENEVA — (UPI) — The Soviet Union today ignored a top-level Western plea for an end to the nuclear stalemate and charged the West with obstructing all aspects of disarmament negotiations.
Soviet Negotiator Semyon K. Tsarapkin told the 17-Nation Disarmament Conference that the "military-economic-financial complex in the United States has obstructed disarmament negotiations to creat a complete lack of progress."
Tsarapkin did not mention directly the personal appeal made by President Kennedy and British
Prime Minister Harold Macmillan to Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev to put an end to the current nuclear deadlock.
But he said the "frantic arms race" undertaken by the West had obstructed agreement even on "such a relatively simple matter as a nuclear test ban."
He claimed both the United States and France had "gone in the face of the United Nations General Assembly's appeal to the nuclear powers not to test after Jan. 1st of this year," and said the United States had conducted 275 tests up to that date—"a highly significant figure."
