Shankel free to resume an old act

Acting vice chancellor for academic affairs, acting dean of liberal arts and sciences, acting athletic director all are positions that Dei presides over of microbiology, has held at one time or another.
Since Del Brinkman, former dean of journalism, took over Shankel's position as vice chancellor for academic affairs on July 1, Shankel is once again free to devote his time to research and teaching. But he will still be available to the chancellor as a special counselor.
Shankel gained more experience as the executive vice chancellor under Chancellor Archie Dykes from 1974 to 1980. When Dykes resigned in 1980, Shankel became acting chancellor for a year until Chancellor Gene A. Budig was selected for the office.
"I get to give advice when he asks for it," Shankel said yesterday.
Shankel was acting chairman of the microbiology department five years after he joined the University in 1959. He later became assistant and then associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. In 1973, he became acting dean of the college.
Shankel said that he enjoyed working in the administration because he knew he was moving the University in a positive direction. But teaching and research are important also, he said.
the incumbent. Shankei was named interim athletic director twice when Bob Marcum and Jim Lessig both left in 1982.
"I enjoy keeping up with research," Shankel said, "And I find teaching to be stimulating and enjoyable."
But he said he would accept another administrative position, if asked, out of obligation to the University.
"If they ask me to help, I'll be glad to do it," he said. "The University has treated me well as a pro-health-care institution."

Brinkman said his main duty was to get a feel for the strengths and weaknesses of KU, maintain the emphasis on the quality and improve the quality in others.

He said the challenge for KU was to do high-quality work when money was scarce.
"The Kansas economy is stretched

state's dependence on the ailing air-

Job promotions for some people can mean a move to a different city, but for Del Brinkman, the new vice chancellor for academic affairs, the move was just across the street — from St.auffer-Flint Hall to Strong Hill.
Brinkman, former dean of journalism, became vice chancellor July 1 after Deanell Tacha, the former vice chancellor, was appointed as a judge to the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Angels in January.
Brinkman said that he did not have any specific plans yet because he was just "settling in" at his new job.
"Denean had a lot of energy. She was omni-present with regard to activities," Brinkman said. "I'm a little more low-key."
Brinkman said the University couldn't change Kansas' economy, but KU's new Economic Task Force could find ways to link the University to the private sector to solicit more outside financial support.
"He is a proven academic administrator," Chancellor Gene A. Budig said. "He enjoys widespread job satisfaction." He will serve KU well in the years ahead.
Brinkman said he had built a strong faculty in the journalism school and he wanted to face another challenge in his new position.
Brinkman is an experienced teacher and administrator. He joined the faculty in 1970 and started as the advisor of the University Daily Kansan. In 1973 he became associate dean, and in 1974 was named acting dean when Ed Bassett resigned. He was appointed dean the next spring.
