Rural service Kugel's first goal
By MARION ABARE
Staff Writer
KANAS CITY, Kan.-Robert A. Kugel,
executive vice chancellor for the Kansas
city campus since April 1, said yesterday
that he would strive to tackle problems of
health care in its state's underserved
and poor communities and put
"problemsome" tunes behind.
Kugel, who met the press here with Chancellor Archie R. Dykes, has developed rural health care programs in his previous positions.
He said a similar type of program has been developed in New Mexico.
"We were able to develop a rural health program in a community near the north central part of Nebraska, which was a cooperative affair with the community and with the medical center in Omaha," he said. The government program has been developed in New Mexico.
Kugel said he would like to arrange a Kansas Health Day in the early fall, patterned after programs in Nebraska and New Mexico. On that day, community leaders would come here and to the Wichita Academy of Music, where emphasis would be on medical students, he said, it also would be helpful to nursing and all health aid students.
"THIS HAD A very salutary effect in the other two states, where the communities could get to talk to young people," he said. He said that the communities could chart what they had to offer and that students heard that someone was interested in them.
Dykes said he didn't support a bill that would pull medical students from some colleges. But he didn't have a basic idea. The proposed legislation would require the entering class of 200 medical students be composed of five qualified students from each of the 40 senatorial districts.
Proponents of the bill, which has been sent to the State Senate Ways and Means Committee and is dead for this legislative session, seek a means of educating more physicians who would practice in western Kansas.
DYKES SAID, "The bill, of course, was a response on the part of legislators who were deeply and appropriately concerned about the quality of health care."
Kugel also said he would try to open up as many lines of communication as possible to the new audience.
"We had a suggestion in a meeting earlier today on how we could post new positions so people know what is going on. That may help us with problems, but I think a good one," Kugel said.
Poet-prof reads variety of verse
From a repretoire that included humorous riddles and serious love verse, Howard Nemeroy, professor of English at Washington University, read his poetry last night to about 40 people in the Jayhawk room of the Kansas Union.
Nemenov, a consultant on poetry to the Library of Congress from 1983 to 1964, read selections from his books "New and Selected Poems, Gnomes and Occasions, Stories, Fables & Other Diversions"; and wrote the book "The Blue Swallows," which received the First Theodore Roetheke Memorial Award in 1988.
Nemerow was invited to the University by the KU chapter of Phi Beta Kappa and the United Chapters of Phi Beta Kappa Visiting Scholar Program.
He will visit three English classes today.
Meeting scheduled to aid handicapped
A meeting for all physically handicapped students to get acquainted with two graduate student assistants hired to help them work. Tuesday in the dean of men's office.
The office recently hired Martha Pearse, Wichita graduate student, and Harlan Harber, Lawrence graduate student. The two faculty members handcapped at the University of Kansas.

He said he was also meeting with all departments and he had visited Wichita Wednesday. Wichita is an integral part of the school, he said, and in ways which can be strengthened should be fostered. He said he planned to visit Wichita weekly.
THE "TROUBLESOME time" Kuehl referred to was the shutdown Dec. 1 of the cardiothoracic unit because of allegedly unsafe conditions.
Kugel said, "I've read all the materials related to the cardiothoracic area. I'm convinced the survey group (an investigative team of three nationally known doctors) did an excellent job of assessing the status and made an excellent report which was acted upon by Chancellor Dykes and Dr. Robinson.
"The report indicated the level of function was satisfactory and commensurate with other (heart) units in this part of the country."
He said a search committee had been interviewing for a new chief for the cardiothoracic unit and one would be selected in the near future.
MALCOLM ARNOLD, cardiothoracic surgeon, was hired March 15 and has been training a team for the resumption of heart surgery.
Kugel, who said he had been reviewing all of the Med Center, stated two major objectives.
First, the Med Center must offer appropriate opportunity to qualified students for various programs and must constantly review health, medical school and nursing school programs so that they are of highest quality, he said. A second major and very important role for the Med Center he said, is excellence in patient care and related services.
Kugel, a pediatrician, said his position was almost totally administrative but he would like to have one half day a week for consultatory work with children.
DYKES SAID during the press conference that Kugel's experience as a
primary care physician and his understanding of health problems in underserved areas qualified him to work on this priority.
Dykes said, "There is no question in our minds but health care delivery must be the top priority of the Med Center in years ahead.
"We must find new and imaginative and effect ways of addressing the problem to the needs of our society."
Kungul succeeded David W. Robinson, who served as acting executive vice chancellor of the University.
Kugel comes to the Med Center from the University of New Mexico—Albuquerque, where he received his doctoral sciences. Before that, he was with the University of Nebraska College of Medicine from 1968 to 1974, as a faculty member, a medical student, and the department of pediatrics and dean.

"THE TASTE IS IN THE SAUCE"
The right way to pour beer never changes Since the dawn of organics, 100 A.D., brewmasters have urged discrimination drinkers to pour straight into the head, and not into a tilted bottle.
Although blatantly defiant of sacred拄链 tradition, the original method has the memorious tone between the head and the drink itself, trapping the carbonation below. The beer doesn't go flat. The method works.
When it comes to pouring beer, the brewmasters were right from the beginning. When it came to making beer, so was Oly Skill and ingenuity just can't be improved upon. Some things never change. Olympia never will.
