TOE TAR HEEL Thursday, August 5, 1965 Page 6 Brauer To Resign Deanship Dr. John C. Brauer, the first and only dean of the School of Dentistry since it was es tablished 15 years ago, has announced his plans to retire from the deanship effective next July 1. He will remain on the den tal faculty here as professor of pedodontics. Brauer. who will reach his 60th birthday in September, has asked that he be relieved I health. Relinquishing the dean ship has been under continu ins consideration since a seri ous heart attack in 1956, he said. He has requested a one-year leave of absence to become effective immediately after stepping down as dean. His plans are incomplete, but they will include the revision of textbooks he has co-authored J and co-edited and a continued interest in serving as consul tant to several federal agen cies, foundations and other dental schools. Brauer was dean of the den tal school at the University of Southern California when he was called upon to help de velop a new school here. He arrived here in January, 1950. N. C. Memorial Hospi tal was under construction, the General Assembly had ap propriated funds for a new dental school and the Univer sity had decided where the building would be erected. "Our objective wrs to acti vate our first class of students in the fall." Brauer recalls.

The first class graduated in 1954. The 12th class received its D.D.S. degrees in June. One of the big questions fac ing the new dental school was whether it could attract enough patients to accommo date its student needs. The first patient arrived in the fall of 1952 for the jun ior class. Brauer, who never doubted that patients would be avail able, now says, "We have had and still have a very adequate number of patients for our educational needs."

Con tact Dan Sullivan, 209 Conner, 968-9178 after 9 p.m. (Advertisement) jr.'"- PINE During his deanship here, the. concept of intramural practice has been a major fac tor in attracting and keeping a high - caliber faculty. His idea of allowing faculty mem bers to engage in private practice in order to provide additional funds to the Uni versity for salary considera tions has become a model for other dental schools through out the nation. "Eventually," Brauer pre dicts, "the pattern will be adapted by all dental schools." He was the recipient last year of the Distinguished Serv ice Award of the N. C. Dental Society for his many contri butions to dentistry as "an ed author, orator, gentleman, civ ic and Christian leader." Brauer was honored in 1963 with the O. Max 'gardner Award, given each year to "that member of the Univer sity of North Carolina faculty who has contributed the most to the good of the human race" during the past year. Brauer considers the estab lishment of the Dental Foun dation of North Carolina in 1950 as one of the most signifi cant contributions to the na tional stature attained by the UNC School of Dentistry. He was a co-founder of the foundation and has served as its secretary - treasurer since its establishment. The foundation provided funds so the dental school here could have one of the first closed - circuit television sys tems in 'a U. S. dental school. It made possible one of the first dental research labora tories with humidity and tem perature controls. The Dental Foundation also provided about one-third of the funds for the Denal Re search Center building to be constructed on the campus here beginning this fall. "I know of no single activi ty we've had which has brought the dental profession of the state and our dental school closer together in a solidarity of purpose than the dental foundation," Brauer says.

The congress "provides a meeting place for students from every area of the coun try to discuss mutual prob lems and ideas, and it is the official decision making body for the policies and programs of USNSA." Student Body President Paul Dickson will attend the Stu dent Body Presidents' Confer ence Aug. 17 through Aug. 21. Eric Van Loon will attend the NSA Coordinators' Conference. Three additional students will attend the congress as observ ers. Carolina has been represent ed as a voting delegation since the founding of the Congress in 1947. Dickson said UNC has become a powerful voice and a leader at the congress. The political background, the two party system, and the active interest in campus politics has prepared the University for its major role in the congress, he said. Dickson said UNC's leading participation in the Congress places UNC in the role of a diplomat and moderator. He also said the Congress is "largely idealistic," and "a place to shop or ideas and ways to-improve UNC." The congress is an ideal place to "see what everyone else is do ing," and "see how other col leges are handling our mutual problems." The congress passes legisla tion which becomes the laws and policies of NSA for the following year. "Carolina is not obligated to adopt the pol icies of NSA which are not congruent with Carolina's pol icies," he said. Students attending as dele gates from UNC are: Dickson, Saundra Burden,. Wright Doyle, Jeff Davis, Roger Da vis, and Karen Rawling. Alternates are Van Loon, - . - .v - ?., JJn - $1.25 NSA coordinator, and Phil Kirstein. Kathy Cannon, Bob Powell, Mary King. Delegates will debate ques tions of campus, national and international student concern. They will attend educational seminars, sub-committee and committee sessions, panel dis cussions, workshops, and an exhibit of representative stu dent governments. Funds for the trip are ap propriated for NSA by the Stu dent Legislature, the summer school budget, and supple mented by the student body president's discretionary fund. All fees, travel expenses, and room and board are pro vided for the student body president and full delegates. Fees, travel expenses and partial room and board are provided for the alternates. Newspaper Circulation On Upsiving North Carolina's daily news papers had the sixth fastest circulation growth per capita in the nation from 1950 to 1964, according to Journalism School Professor Ken Byerly. Their weekday circulation jumped 280,190 (32.7 per cent) a day from 1950's 856,612 to 1, 136.802 in 1964, he said. The state's population in creased 790,071 (19 per cent) at the same time from 4,061, 929 in 1950 to a 1964 Census Bureau estimate of 4,852,000. "So the per capita circula tion of North Carolina's dailies grew at an 11.1 per cent faster pace than its population," By erly said. "The only states to exceed this were Mississippi, 32.1 per cent, Alaska 21.5 per cent,' Arkansas 20.5 per cent, North Dakota 16.7 per cent and South Carolina 14.6 per cent. "This does not mean these states led in total circulation increase," Byerly said. "Bur geioning ones like Nevada, Arizona, Alaska, Florida and 1 1 California were far ahead, but the rapid circulation gain of their daily newspapers did not keep pace with their popula tion surge." Special Term Granted Rinaldi A special session of Hills borough Superior Court, to be gin Oct. 11, has been approved for the second murder trial of former UNC graduate student and part-time instructor Frank Joseph Rinaldi. The session was approved by the Board, of County Com missioners Monday after be ing requested by District So licitor Thomas D. Cooper. Rinaldi, 35, is charged with the slaying of his pregnant wife on Christmas Eve of 1963. He was convicted last fall, but the conviction was over turned by a 5-2 ruling of the State Supreme Court in June. Improper evidence was given as the reason for the reversal. 'King And P Closes Triangle Theater's produc tion of "The King And I" will close Saturday night after a two-week run. "A Shot In The Dark" will open Tuesday night and con tinue through Aug. 21.
