M emoriam University Loses Regents Chairman, Athletic Trainer On Wednesday, October 29, Lloyd Ross Pickrell, chairman of the University Board of Regents died. He was 54 at the time of his death. Mr. Pickrell was appointed to the Board of Regents in November, 1955 and was reappointed for a four-year term in -luly, 1957. Previously he had twice served as vice-chairman of the Board in 1956 and 1957. In the summer ol' 1958, he was elected chairman. Mr. Pickrell was prominent in the Republican Party where he had served as the State Republican Central Committee treasurer and chairman of the Sedgwick County Central Committee. ln addition he was in sev- eral civic organizations. President Harry F. Corbin said, I am deeply saddened and shocked over the death of Lloyd Pickrell. He was a devoted servant of the community. His service on the Board has enriched the lives of thousands of students as well as our entire faculty and staff. The University has lost a great friend. While attending a basketball game with the team in Corvallis, Ore., Lester L. Doc Needham, the University athletic trainer, was struck by a cerebral hemorrhage. Taken to the Corvallis Hospital, Doc Needham died several days later, leaving behind him a wife and five children. Doc Needham had been in the athletic training field for nearly 25 years and had been at the University 14 years. He was graduated from the Pittsburg, Kan., State Teachers College and was a resident of El Dorado. Known to many lVichitans, students and faculty, Doc Needham gained many friends in the field of athletics. He had trained some 300 athletes during his time at the University. He had sidelined more Shocker athletic events than any man in the school's history. Doc Needham will be missed by the University and many people and students with whom he worked.
