Anatomy, zoology prof to retire
Dr. Paul Gibbons Roofe, professor of anatomy and zoology at the University of Kansas, will be among those faculty retiring this month.
Dr. Rooef, born 1899, received the B.S. degree from Kansas State University in 1924. He
earned the bachelor of divinity degree in 1929 from the Meadville Theological School, and the Ph.D. in 1934 from the University of Chicago. Before joining the KU faculty in 1945, he taught at the University of Louisville. He was named a professor of anatomy in 1945, and was chairman of the department until it was moved to the School of Medicine in Kansas City.
Shortage of financial aid likely for 70-71 school year

in the United States presenting papers on his work and lecturing. Typical of this national prominence was his travel during one period in 1955 when he spent time as a leader at a conference sponsored by the Association of American Medical Colleges and the American Medical Association, represented KU at the meeting of Armed Forces Medical Libraries, visited the Carnegie Institute of Embryology to prepare a human embryo for study, and was guest at the dean's meet-
Proportionately fewer students will be receiving financial help next year, and those who are granted funds will be getting less, said Robert Billings, director of the Office of Student Financial Aid.
Although federal allocations for National Defense Student Loans have dropped from $438,000 to $425,000 for the 1970-71 academic year, the University will have available about $750,000 for NDSL purposes, compared to about $700,000 last year. The difference will be made up by collections on outstanding student loans.
Well-known for his research activities, Dr. Roofe received numerous grants from the National Science Foundation and from the U.S. Health Department for his work, especially his early work with the polio virus. At one time the KU anatomy department was the most productive in the nation in graduate degrees.
quently, proportionately fewer applicants will receive aid, and the average grant will be less.
But the increasing cost of attending the University, plus an expected increase in enrollment, will result in a larger number of applications for aid. Conse-
Billings said he expected about 3,000 applications for aid from the money available, compared with 1,500 applications in the 1964-65 academic year. That year KU had $938,000 available for financial aid.
ing of the Association of American Medical Colleges.
The Office of Student Financial Aid set the estimate average expense for students attending KU next year at $1,950 for Kansas residents and $2,500 for non-Kansans. This estimate reflects an increase of $120 for in-state fees and $250 for out-of-state fees.
The author of two books and more than 60 articles on anatomy, zoology and related sciences, he is a member of the American Academy of Neurology, Association of Anatomists, and served on its executive committee, the Association for the Advancement of Science, American Society of Zoologists, and Sigma Xi.
Students will be selected for aid on a basis of greatest need and the best academic records.
