KU plans Wichita geography center
The groundwork for an experimental project in geography and social-science education is being built in Wichita with the University of Kansas as the chief architect.
What is essentially a three- star project -aimed at education
Business school promotions set
Two promotions within the School of Business at the University of Kansas have been announced by Dean Clifford D. Clark.
Dr. Frank S. Pinet, an associate professor, has been advanced to associate dean of the School of Business and Dr. Charles B. Saunders, a professor, becomes director of academic development.
Dean Pinet has been responsible for continuing education and external affairs for the past three years, and as such has been director of the Executive Development and U.S. Independent Telephone Association Management Development Programs. He is a KU alumnus who has been on the faculty since 1947.
Dr. Saunders will serve as an administrative liaison for new ideas and new programs developed by the School of Business.
materials, community support and teacher-education—will be tried and analyzed in the Amelia Erhart and Finn elementary schools in Wichita.

The venture grew out of the annual Geography Institute and the Experienced Teacher Fellowship Program at KU. Both the institute and the school-year program are funded by a $108,000 grant from the U.S. Office of Education. Director of the project is Duane S. Knos, associate professor of geography at KU
Prof. Knos, who will be a year-around consultant to the 15 geography teachers, said the project, to his knowledge, is unprecedented.
The teachers were in Wichita until August 2 for a workshop, for the final two weeks of the fifth annual Geography Institute which began June 9 at KU.
One at the programs instituted during the school year will be a program of material development. It will be evaluated on two levels: the materials and their teachability in the classroom; and the materials as a mechanism for in-service training of teachers.
"What is involved essentially."
Knos explained, "is the idea that just because you are out of school, you don't stop learning."
A second program instituted will try to develop support for teachers training while on the job. Knos said this program will mean determining what resources are involved and how they can be utilized.
Engineer school announces four new instructors
Four new faculty members have joined the department of civil engineering at the University of Kansas this month. They are: Dr Stanley T. Rolfe, professor; Dr Carl Burkhead, associate professor; and Dr. George C. Clausen and Dr. Francis M. Thomas, assistant professors.
Dr. Rolfe has been director of the division of metal behavior at the U.S. Steel Corporation's Applied Research Laboratory, Monroeville, Pa.
Dr. Burkhead is returning to Kansas after four years as assistant professor at the University of Kentucky.
Dr. Clausen, a native of Kansas City, Mo., earned the M.S. degree in water resources engineering from KU in 1965. He has been completing the doctoral degree program in hydrology at the University of Arizona where he was an associate in the Arizona Water Resources Research Institute.
Dr. Thomas, native of Patoka, Ill., received the B.S. in mechanical engineering from the University of Illinois in 1966. He became instructor in the Illinois department of theoretical and applied mechanics, earning the M.S. degree in 1987 and completing the doctoral program this summer. His research on the analysis of indeterminate structures was sponsored by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
