"I'd like to be judged on our accomplishments and the center's accomplishments and not on past difficulties that we've had," Waxman said.
"Hopefully, we've learned from our past experiences,"
One of those "past difficulties" is the general instability of the Med Cener beverage.
The Med Center has had three different persons in the position of executive vice presidents.
KUGEL HELD the post for 16 months, beginning in April 1978 when he replaced the acting executive vice chancellor, David Robinson. Robinson had held the position since the resignation of William Rieke in June 1975.
Dykes there had been a major effort to reorganize the administrative structure. He has created three dean positions and eliminated two vice chancellorships at the Med Center in order to make the structure "similar and more functional."
Rieke, who became the Med Center's top administrator in 1971, said when he resigned in 1975 that a reassessment of his and the Med Center's needs and goals prompted his
Dykes eliminated vice chancellorships for student affairs and academic affairs.
There now are deans for medicine, nursing and allied health at Kansas City, a city, and a state.
THE MED CENTER Wichita branch recently has been separated from Wichita State University and now is in another hospital.
Waxman said, "we now have in place the people we need to run the medical center"
Asked about Kugel's ability in running the day-to-day affairs of the Med Center, Waxman said, "Dr. Kugel was very interested in things outside the University."
Waxman said Kugel was involved in special planning projects and state-wide projects.
"IWAS the one that kept the store open," Waxman said.
He said the position of deputy executive vice chancellor, which was created during Kugel's administration, wouldn't be continued.
"It only takes one person. You don't see two chancellors, do you?" he said.
Waxman said the Med Center has a "tremendous capability," and now it was necessary to encourage people to work together.
OTHER KEY Med Center positions have been vacated in the past few years by resignations and dismissals. These post positions require department charismachants and clinical positions.
Some of the people who have resigned we learnt, and others have problems they have encountered at the Medical Center.
Two heart surgeons, Robert Reis and Hammer Hannah III, resigned in Feb. 1976, saying the housekeeping practices in the operating room and intensive care were "worried."
Reis and Halman halted heart surgery at the Med Center in December 1978 because they said they thought the operating room was unsanitary and not properly ventilated. Then, when team members disagreed with an investigative team that approved heart surgery conditions.
AFTER REIS and Hannah resigned, 13 other cardiothoracic surgery support personnel also quit. Heart surgery was halted for four months.
Later, an investigative team for the Department of Health, Education and Welfare approved the heart surgery facilities.
KU canoe first, KSU gets cup
It was a University of Kansas team that won the race, but Kansas State University went home with the trophy after the annual football game from Manhattan to Lawrence this weekend.
The KU team, composed primarily of Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity members, was an independent team not eligible for trophy recognition. It was not made up of residence hall members.
K-State's haymaker No. 4, the team that won the trophy, finished third in the race behind two independent teams with a time of 13 minutes. The other 102-mile course on the Kansas River.
KU's Joseph R. Pearson residence hall team came in tenth place over all and seventh in the residence hall race. KU hasn't won the canoe race trophy since 1968.
KU'S WINNING TEAM, the Rogues, set a record with its time of 13:00.34. An independent K-State team, the Kaw Dads, care in conjunction with a time of 13:13.80.
The river was high and the current was swift when the Rogues' canoe rounded the bend on Kaw under the turnip bridge. Bend Kaw under the turnip bridge as the winners strained for the finish line.
Mark Brown, a Rogues crew member,
described the rivalry between the first and
second place teams. "In this race, you
would have to fight," he says of the way
it is with the Kaw Dads and us."
"I could have gone another five miles," Kathy Brunies, Bay Shore, N.Y., junior and a member of the winning team, said as she attended a game in which about 75 people who waited at the finish line.
The participants in the race usually camp out Saturday night on a sand bar along the route. But rains Saturday night swelled the river.
"Saturday night we slept up by St. Mary's," Brunjes said. "The sandar we were planning on sleeping on was underwater, so we slept in the weeds."
the race is an annual event sponsored by the Association of University Residence Halls.
Dykes said there were no housekeeping problems at the time Reis and Hannah quit and that there are no problems now. But, the eventual move to the new hospital and would improve operating conditions and facilities.

"REEE" POSITION as chief of cardiothoracic surgery was filled by surgeon Malcolm Arnold, who last in October had only two months at the Med Center. Heart surgery again was interrupted until Donald Barnhorst from the Mayo Clinic took over in
In September 1976, Loren Humphrey resigned as chairman of surgery, saying that he was overworked as chairman and that his department lacked administrative support and proper state funding. Frank Masters, chief of plastic surgery, was appointed chairman at the time and last week was made permanent chairman.

administrator who left in April, was replaced by Shield Krizelman.
"THE REORGANIZATION of the medical, center is now complete," he said.
Another problem for the Med Center has been mismanagement of fiscal affairs. The Med Center is a major source of projections for expenditures and income, sometimes causing personnel to be overworked because the state-regulated expenditure ceiling had been reached
Dykes said the Med Center can spend only within its protected budget, even if it eats more.
The Med Center can attend only within its project budget, even if it earns more than that.
Dykes had the Med Center has had to restore the state's confidence that funds were being properly controlled and
HE SAID the operating budget had been made more complete with more information where money was going and what it was being used for. He mentioned the auditing of the budget positions at the Med Center to clarify where and how money was being used.
Another problem at the Med Center has been construction of two buildings included in the plan.
managed.
The building projects, which include a basic sciences building and a $55 million hospital, have been plagued by problems from the start.
GOV. ROBERT BENNETT has called the expansion project at the Med Center "an outstanding example of the worst piece of work that has ever occurred" in the Midwest in the last century."
The Orr-Major Basic Science Building, which has been occupied for over a year, still has numerous mechanical defects such as heating and cooling system malfunctions.
Subcontractors for the building have filed damage claims against the state for extra expenses accrued because of allegedly faulty architectural designs. Recently a state legislative subcommittee recommended the state take legal action against the subcontractors to recover the damage claims.
Dykes said the mechanical problems in her ward were being worked on by Med Center personnel being worked on by Med Center personnel.
CONSTRUCTION on the hospital has been slowed by a three-month long bricklayers strike. Completion of the hospital was delayed, and the contract to be finished two or three months later.
