SPEAKING OF PEOPLE THE BI-WEEKLY NEWS LETTER Dr. Sidney W. Fox, director, Institute of Molecular Evolution, delivers the annual Sigma Xi Distinguished Scientist lecture today at Texas Christian University. Earlier lecturers have included Linus Pauling, J. V.McConnell and David Krech... For Faculty and Staff April 22, 1968 Vol. 8, No. 15 DEAN OWRE TO RETURN Dr. J. Riis Owre, associate dean of the TO TEACHING JUNE 1 Faculties and professor of Spanish, will drop administrative status for the single academic title of Professor, effective June 1. In the 33 years since he joined the UM in 1935 as assistant professor of Spanish, Dean Owre has held top administrative posts for three decades. Throughout these years he has continued to teach and his publications in the field of Hispanic literature have brought him renown as a distinguished scholar. Reflecting on his new single title, Dean Owre commented: "For most of us in administrative work, I suspect, there comes a time when one wants to get back to books and students — the fundamentals of education, after all. That time has come for me. I am looking forward now to the best job of all in a university — that of professor." In accepting Dean Owre's request to return to teaching full time, President Stanford said: "I have admired Dean Owre for his adroitness in combining administrative skills with scholarly pursuits, an ability rarely demonstrated in the academic world. I wish him much happiness as he returns to his first love, teaching." MUSIC PRACTICE BUILDING NAMED FOR BERTHA FOSTER The Music Practice Building will be renamed the Bertha Foster Memorial Music Building in honor of the late first Dean of the UM School of Music. Official dedication will be made after completion of a second floor addition, to be under construction in the near future. Dr. Foster died Feb. 29. A signer of the original charter and one of the founders of the University, she served as Dean from 1926 until 1944 when she retired as Dean Emeritus to devote full time to the Musicians Club of America which she founded in 1939. She had also served on the University's Board of Regents from 1926 to 1941. ART GALLERY BECOMES LOWE ART MUSEUM The UM Board of Trustees has approved a resolution changing the name of the University's Joe and Emily Lowe Art Gallery to Lowe Art Museum. The resolution requesting the change was signed by Mrs. Ray Fisher, immediate past president of Beaux Arts, and by Dr. Sterry Branning, immediate past chairman of the Friends of Art, in order to distinguish the University art facility from a commercial gallery. SPACE PROGRAMS TO BE STUDIED The long-range effects of the American and Russian space programs will be evaluated in a three- year study by the UM's Center for Advanced In- ernational Studies under a grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The NASA grant will provide funds at the rate of $100,000 annually. The in-depth analysis will focus on the impact these space programs have had on the economy, living standards, education, popular attitudes, scientific and technological capabilities and national aspirations of each country. Principal investigator will be Foy D. Kohler, former U.S. Ambassador to Russia and now professor of international studies here. Dr. Kamal Ya'coub, electrical engineering, is co-author of a paper, "Linear Order Estimates Using Subsamples," published in SI AM JOURNAL OF APPLIED MATHEMATICS, Vol. 16, No. 1, 1968. Dr. Ya'coub will present a paper on "Statistical Model Relating Underwater Acoustic Phase to Environmental Parameters" at the 75th meeting of the Acoustical Society of America in Ottawa next month... Dr. Mahlon Ball, marine geology and geophysics, IMS, attended the American Geophysical Union annual meeting in Washington, D.C... John H.
