Dean Plans Return To Classroom Work
George M. Beckmann, associate dean of faculties for international programs, has decided to return to the full-time teaching of history at KU. Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe announced this morning.
"I accept with regret Dean Beckmann's decision to relinquish his administrative duties," Chancellor Wescoe said. "He has played a key role in the development of international programs at the University. But I am thankful for the University and its students that Dean Beckmann will be back in the classrooms doing the work he most enjoys and providing the kind of gifted teaching that is our greatest pride."
DEAN BECKMANN ACCEPTED the newly created position of associate dean of faculties for international programs in 1963. He and the University's Council for International Programs, which he served as chairman, assumed responsibility for the administration of a five-year grant of $500,-000 from the Ford Foundation for experimental programs in international teaching and research. He will continue to work closely with the Council in the development of international education at the University.
A specialist in East Asian history and culture, Dean Beckmann joined the University faculty in 1951 as an instructor. He was promoted rapidly, reaching the rank of professor in 1960.
Dean Beckmann majored in Eastern history and languages at Harvard University and earned the Ph.D. degree from Stanford University in 1952. During World
HE HELD FULBRIGHT AND Ford Foundation fellowships in 1952-53, another Ford Foundation fellowship in 1954, and a Fulbright fellowship in 1960-61, all for research and study in Japan. He was on leave for a time from KU to serve as a staff member of the International Training and Research Program of the Ford Foundation.
War II he served in Naval Intelligence as a Japanese language officer and later attended Tokyo Imperial University.
At the University he was, in 1955, one of the first four recipients of the Watkins faculty summer fellowships for junior staff members.

With Showtime Theme Curtain Goes Up for Carnival
Perhaps, but all these events will take place at Saturday night's SUA Carnival from 7-11 p.m. in the Kansas Union.
There will be boots and skins presented by 34 KU living groups. Each group will be vying for first and second place trophies in four divisions: men's skits, women's skits, men's boots and women's boots.
WINNERS WILL be announced around 10:15 p.m. Saturday, along with the naming of the Carnival Queen and her two attendants.
Judging of booths and skits will be done by twelve teams, composed of one student and one faculty member.
Ten men jesters will present skits before women's living groups this week in an effort to bolster Carnival interest. Also, 25 women jesters announced last week, will appear before men's living groups. The women jesters also will perform atop the information booth between classes on Thursday and Friday.
The Carnival Queen will be chosen from a field of 32 KU women representing campus living groups by individual ballots.
CROWNING of the queen will be done by Frank Burge, Union director, and last year's queen, Paula Bruckner, Emporia senior. Pat Burke, Kansas City senior, will serve as master of ceremonies.
