ayne Lane After 28 years at Northwestern, Wayne : ne, director of public relations and assis- nt professor of journalism, retired Jan. 1, 88. Although Lane served the university th unsurpassed dedication, it is his ami- ble personal style for which he is best own. ITve never known anyone who is as uni- rsally well-likedf said a former student. 81 donit think you could find anyone any- ere who would say a single bad word uout Wayne Lane? added one of his col- : gues. But while Lane is known for his easy- ing, helpful attitude, he likely will be best I embered for his professional contribu- us. It was under Laneis direction that the rthwestern News was expanded from a r-page biweekly to its current weekly 4 mat. Lane was also principally responsi- ble for the formation of the mass communi- cations degree program, which is now among the fastest growing on campus. He also directed the expansion of the public relations and sports information services. Though his talents and professional repu- tation have presented him with opportuni- ties to move on, Lane has opted to stay at Northwestern. 81 came here expecting to stay? said Lane, who joined the Northwestern staff after eight years as a wire editor at the Wichita Falls, Texas, Times. tIThis was the kind of job I had been looking for, and I found the type of satisfaction I expected. I stayed because it offered variety, new chal- lenges and opportunities to develop? His college days at the University of Oklahoma were interrupted by two and one-half years in the Army Air Corps dur- ing World War II and again by a year and a half of work on his hometown newspaper. He earned a bachelors degree in 1950 and a masterls in 1951, both at CU. Although the variety of work Lane does is important to him, he admits to a favorite aspect of his job. 1Tve enjoyed most the work with stu- dents on the production of the newspaper and being able to see them develop their own skills and confidencesfi said Lane, who has persevered through hundreds of late Wednesday nights working on the newspa- per. In addition to his work at the university, he serves on the board of directors of Okla- homais Red Carpet Country and is editor of the Red Carpet Country News, posts he will keep after retirement. With the rest of his time, Lane says he expects to Iiturn some woodii and 11pursue some other interests? Dedication 5
