"I'm filling in," he said. "I made that despite the criticism Dykes told Roberts.鸭蛋敏了."
The search committee has only been interviewing for a little less than two months. It would be unreasonable to expect them to come up with a replacement so
"It may be several months until the search committee comes up with a permanent replacement for Dr. Rieke." Robinson said. "I have been here a long time and thought I could serve the center as an acting vice chancellor.
Robinson emphasized that he wouldn't appl for the job as permanent vice-president.
KANAS SITY, KAN. —David W. Robinson said Sunday that he was eager to begin work at his new job as acting center chancellor for the KU Medical Center.
Robinson's appointment to that post, effective June 1, was announced today by University of Kansas Chancellor Archie R. Dykes.
Robinson, who currently is vice chancellor for clinical affairs, will replace the present executive vice chancellor, William O. Rieke, when Rieke leaves May 31 to become president of Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, Wash.
"Dr. Robinson has asked that he not be considered or the executive vice chairmenhip on a permanent basis," Dykes said, "but we are pleased to have a man of his academic and important administrative position during the transition period."
"We've got a very fine operation and a very fine staff here," he said. "I can foresee few difficulties. Our new building program has been designed with a number of expenditure potentials."
Robinson said the Med Center was constantly evolving into an institution better able to serve its students and the public. He said he would continue his work at the hospital, be said
His duties as acting executive vice chancellor will probably vary little from Rueker's, Robinson said. He also said he had a lot to learn about changes in Med Center operations procedures.
Robinson is a native of Kansas City, Mo. He received a B.A. degree from KU in 1935 and an M.D. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1938. He earned an M.S. from KU in 1948, while serving as a faculty member.
Robinson has devoted his professional life to studying the techniques of plastic surgery. He will retain his rank as professor of plastic surgery and is now a director of the Burnett Burn Center.
Staff cut retrievals to be sought
Robinson interned at the Philadelphia General Hospital from 1938 to 1940. He then did residency training in surgery at the KU Med Center from 1940 to 1943. He joined the Med Center staff in 1942 and in 1947 was named chief of the plastic surgery section. Students voted Robinson as the "pulawker, M.D.T. Teacher of the Year" in 1946.
In 1969, the highest honor the University can bestow, the Distinguished Service Award.

Rikie denied that the freeze was an attempt to squeeze money from the lengthy payoff.
"I really think there is no way the lieutenant would approve that request," Ricker said.
Rieke said the Med Center now would concentrate on retrieving the staff positions that the legislature cut from the Board's recommendations for fiscal 1976.
Chancellor Archie R. Dykes and Rieke will meet this week with Clyde Hill, legislative liaison to Gov. Robert F. Bennett in an attempt to restrain the cuts, Rieke said.
The Board recommended an increase of soot to regenerate later trimmed that to an increase.
The Board approved the hospital's request for 30 graduate nurses, 15 practical nurses, 10 hospital attendants and four clerk II positions.
The legislature cut two requests to 10 graduate nurses, five practical nurses, three hospital attendants and one clerk II position.

Another issue will be discussed at the meeting with Hill, Rieke said, which entails extra pay for hospital employees who work both rotating day and night shifts. Presently, there is no way to reward on-the-job work at different times of the day he said.
"I think it's a very important issue for us to resolve," Rieke said. "We'll be short-handed in staff if we don't get the positions next year."

When you watch the Kansas Relays and cheer the outstanding world-class competitors you probably never give a thought to how they get here and where they stay. If it wasn't for the hospitality of some several of those performers might be absent.
Acacia fraternity has furnished free housing for the Eastern New Mexico University (ENMU) track team for the past three years. The past two years the Relays'
outstanding performer has been a member of the ENMU team. Phillip Ndoo was one of the meet's outstanding performers in 1973 and he continued to be one of last year's participants.
head ENMU track coach Bill Silverberg, who is a former University of Kansas steeplechase runner, said, "Without them there, where they helped us out tremendously."
Mike Kulloff, Acacia resident, said that having the day at Acacia was the best experience of her life.
it was good to talk to people with that caliber of talent from a different background.
Both Ndoo and Bott are native Kenyans and came to the United States chiefly to run
"Last year we talked to Ndoo and Boit and really got to know them," Kolloff said. "So this year when Ndoo could it come one guy even more, but I guess we missed that kind of the kind of deal it."

Such was the path tread by William Allen White.
Whereas White chose the life of the professional journalist, Brinkman became a journalism professor and administrator. He was later named position vacated by Edward P. Bassett, who resigned as dean last December, to accept a job as director at the University of Southern Alabama.
Thus, it seems only fitting that Paul Delbert (Del Brinkman, a short, stocky journalist who grew up south of Emporia and worked at the Gazette during his time as an investigator in the dean of William Allen White School of Journalism at the University of Kansas.

"I had three courses at the beginning of the semester and that was a little rough, I'll have to admit," Brinkman said. "I don't recommend that any dean teach more than one class. I really like teaching, but I could not give it to anyone, not what it was before. I still think I'm doing a good job, but it does become a real strain."

The arrangement with Acacia was made through the efforts of both the fraternity and Silverberg, Silverberg is a KU alumunis and a former member of another chapter of
of the 30 members on the ENMU track team, nine are from foreign countries. This has led to some criticism from track officials because of the increasing number of foreign competitors in United States collegiate competition. The University of Texas at El Paso team, which won the recent NCAA Indoor Track and Field队 was dominated in scores by foreign competitors. If we have been subtracted, it would have left the University of Kansas with the NCAA championship.
Silverberg said he could see both sides of the argument against foreign athletes.
"I don't believe in dominating your team complete with foreign talent," he said. "You can see both sides. It gives the Americans a chance to compete against foreign competitors, but improved more by competing against our foreign runners."
Bolt said, "I think I benefit. It isn't always easy for someone from another country to adjust to a different country. I don't think it's always fair for them to criticize."
saberberg said that the people he met in Kenya while competing with the AAU had been helpful in recruiting them. This effort, the only foreign country represented on the ENMU team,
Dariusz Podobas, who is believed to be the first athlete from an Iron Curtain country to compete with a U.S. team, is also one of Silverberg's top athletes. Podobas was on Olympia in 2014 and worked through legal and political tangles for years before Podobas finally decided he wanted to and could come to the United States.
