Dykes on Day One...
From Page One
Dykes holds that his role is to be "sensitive" to problems.
"Today, when I was headed for Strong Hall, I talked to one of the security officers," he said. From such chance discussions and from other, organized discussions, policy will Dykes believes, arise of its own force.
But the kind of interest to which he refers differs somewhat from the stated interest of the same age group.
Dykes thinks students are more interested in "the larger society" than they were 10, 15 or 20 years ago, although he admits having no firm evidence to support
more than where continuing education enters. He likes to cite an example from the previous section: "Most of us are returning for courses. He notes a rise in the number of enrollments in 'proprietary institutions'—institutions in which students pay the full cost of their educations, such as
He is getting at what he calls a firmer link between a university and the "larger society" that supports it. And here, he says, he firmly believes that the people who support educational institutions, the tax system, etc., decide what those institutions should do.
"I accept the principle," Dykes says, "that the best decisions come from the people. And that's saying a lot about who should ultimately control a lot of things."
move to make the university self-governing.
"I'd reject putting the students, faculty,
and staff on campus."
INTEREST GROUPS—and this, apparently, includes intramural university people in Dykes' thinking—can exert too much influence. He cities, by way of example, the American Association of School administrators, to which he belongs.
Like the American philosopher John parvey, Dykes holds that democracy is the way to do it.
"They are the ones who, in effect, have the final say on who should be an administrator. They shouldn't have the final say; rather, people should."
AND THE PEOPLE are sensitive to programs other than those with direct and obvious benefits, such as medicine and agriculture, he says, it was after all, Dykes noted, the people, through their legislators, who have been the city of Kansas as a liberal arts institution.
Can the legislators of today, though, be made to understand?
"I don't think the chancellor or anyone else should go over to Topeka and lecture the legislators," he replies. "We have to convince them that this or that area needs support."
Dykes insists that he will not condone recruiting violations in intercollegiate sports.
"THERE ARE people who believe that it's necessary to break the rules to have a successful team," he says. "But this never happened at Tennessee. You can recruit and stay within the rules and win, too. Another example is UCLA."
"It's not essential to have a strong intercollegiate abietic program to have a great university. But intercollegiate universities do not.

The KU athletic program should be both "representative" and "competitive," he said.
represents the over-all excellence of KU and that maintains an interest in the welfare of people in the program, and "competitive" in being one that continues support of all sports, including the minor or "spring" sports.
NO ONE IS IS saying for sure how well Dykes will do at KU. Since 1969, KU has four chancellors, all quite different men with different ends to their careers at KU.
1969 was the last year of the chancellorship of W. Clair Wescoe, who kept his own counsel and was prescient enough to know that many important university campuses in all its force. In fall 1969, E. Laurence Chalmers Jr., who spoke his mind often and was often reprimated for it, took over and his burdens仆升迁 had been cleared by resignation last August. Raymond Nichols, Chalmers' successor, continued in the pattern he had established in his decades as the university's executive secretary—the committee of the hard-working, faithful administrate-

"The chief administrator of the university sets the tone, the atmosphere. He can make that atmosphere one that is stimulating, or he can make it something less than what it ought to be. I'm convinced that leadership makes a difference."

Good Morning, Mr. Chancellor! Welcome
to the College of Business and
States. We've waited a long time for you.
WE ARE aware the delay in our getting a Chancellor was no fault of yours. A Search was on, and you had to be found, of course. Much like the Holy Grail.
Universities are very much like factories—they turn out building blocks for the nation—and it helps production and quality control if the foreman or the boss is ground.
It is gratifying to note that you have great plans for this University and that you think a lot of it. So do we, though we gripe when we get sick of the food in residence halls, get a parking ticket or become ennamed in administrative red-tape.
But now we have you and that makes all the difference.
YOU HAVE said you would like the administration of this University to be open, sensitive and responsive. There is a great need for students who are competent in sincerity to student problems. If we had
UNDER THE DRAFT, anyone contributing more than $5,000 to political candidates in the campaign year prior to his appointment will simply be rejected by the party. In other words, if you experience or special training in the affairs of country to which he is being named.
Party,Medal Close Term For Nichols
A surprise party Friday provided the
members of the University of Kansas,
as chancellor of the University of Kansas.
Nichols became KU's first "Chancellor Emeritus" Sunday when Archie Dykes officially became the University's 13th chancellor.
Stewart said before the presentation that he thought Nichols had handled the University's decision.
At the party arranged by Nichols' staff, a silver medallion with the KU seal was given to Nichols by Jess Stewart, chairman of the Board of Regents.
The medalion was inscribed "Raymond Nichols, Chancellor, 1972-1973." Stewart expressed his appreciation to Nichols for the work Nichols had done as chancellor.
"It has certainly caused my position and work as chairman and I deeply appreciate it."
'Ambassadorial nominations should not be for sale' to political big-givers who covet the prestige and social standing of an ambassadorship, the draft says.
The draft also proposes that all nominees be conversant with the diplomatic language of the countries.
The draft states that secretary of State William P. Rogers had told the committee April 30 that the President "agrees" the subject is of concern.
Nicholls said that his main regret as chancellor had been having to cut the budget.
THE GROUND RULES are also complaint of the excessive use of persons without diplomatic experience, whether big contributors or not, and propose that the ratio of non-diplomats to nevertheless the ratio of non-diplomats to career appointees exceeds 15 per cent.
Senate Committee Moves to Ban 'Sale'of Diplomatic Posts to Rich
THE COMMITTEE, at the request of Sen. Gale W. McGee (D-Wyo.), initially blocked action on 'Farkases' nomination but ultimately approved it. McGee told reporters he had concluded that for a political appointee, she was a "pretty classy lady." However, the incident led to a question to study the whole question of appointment to big campaign contributors to diplomatic posts—a common practice over the years.
Nichols will serve as an aide to Dykes, with concentration on the budget.
Chairman J.W. Fulbright (D-Ak). directed a preliminary set of "ground rules" be drafted and circulated to committees for comment prior to any formal action.
By SPENCER RICH
Under a proposed set of ground rules, anyone who contributed more than $5,000 to a political candidate would automatically be rejected by the committee for an ambassadorial post unless he had special qualifications.
The Washington Post
The draft also states that although the U. S. delegate to the United Nations with United Nations Participation Act mandates the appointment of only a single person as rank of ambassador, the practice has grown to include multiple ranks. The U. S. delegate the rank of ambassador.
WASHINGTON—The Senate Foreign Relations Committee is moving to block the "sale" of U.S. ambassadorships to wealthy corporations lacking diplomatic qualifications.
Drafting of the proposed ground rules was spurred by the recent appointment of Ruth Farkas, sociologist and wife of the head of Alexander's Department Stores, as ambassador to Luxembourg. She contributed $300,000 to the GOP.
$5,000 Proposed as Gift Limit
As a result, the draft says, if several pending nominations are approved, "there will be no appeal."
The ground rules also propose that the committee "scrutinize hereafter with special care" whether nominees in their diplomatic activities adhere to the principle that a national commitment by the United States to another country cannot be made solely by the will of the President but must have Congressional concurrence.
THIS CHEAPENS the position, the committee draft says, and, starting in 1974, it won't approve giving anyone the rank of ambassador as delegate to an international organization unless an ambassador title is required by law.

three in Brussels, three in Paris and two in

It is a paper of information. It is the pulse of this campus. And it does provide a fairly accurate gauge of what's happening in new student feeling runs on different issues.
In the old days, the Caliphs of Arabia would don a disguise each evening and mingle with the populace in order to determine how the masses felt about their ruler. But that was before the newspaper.
We are aware there are problems of communication at times and that a Chancellor, even if he actively tries to elicit student feeling on any topic, is at a certain disadvantage.
The official campus newspaper, the University Daily Kansan, is run by journalism students with varying degrees of experience in the field of journalism. It does not claim to be the New York Times: it's only the number two national campus newspapers and the awards it has received line only one-half of one of the walks of the newsroom.
The paper has its critics, of course. There are those who make legitimate criticism, as when a new reporter makes a claim that it is wrong or error of fact. We are human. And失败.
All Told, No. 2 Spot Really Isn't So Bad
Hal Orel, professor of English, also finds
their greatness—president of the Thomas
Hardy Society.
This may not sound like much of a title, but when the officers meet he finds himself in good company. The society's president is John McDonnell, the first minister of Great Britain from 1957-63.
Other critics of the paper resent our revealing to our readers things that might just as well have been suppressed. We are proud that we continue to fulfill our obligations to the campus community by informing them in full, on every aspect of our coursework, and making sure the paper deteriorate into a public relations outlet at the mediocre high school paper variety.
The paper continues to be committed to informing, much as American media remain committed to satisfying the public's right to know.
This University has a fine body of administrators, academicians and students. We hope you will find your work here rewarding.
WE ARE AWARE of some of your sentiments regarding the Daily Kansan and are happy with what you have expressed. We work in working together for a better, happier KU.
So once again, Sir, welcome to KU.
