Members of KU's Class of '73 Walk Down the Hill to the Stadium
Nichols said he intended to include representation from the Senate Committee on Faculty Rights, Responsibilities and Privileges on a tenure committee.
The School of Social Welfare Promotion and Tenure Committee met with Nichols to seek tenure denied by three faculty members. The school's memorial school would lose some excellent teachers.
IN A COLLEGE of Liberal Arts and Sciences Assembly meeting May 8, members approved a proposal to consider members of committees who become tenured as holding their new positions, not their old ones. Membership on committees is allocated by faculty rank, which means they are most likely promoted to the tenured position of associate professor would then be classified as an associate professor.
Members of the College Assembly approved the revised requirements for the bachelor of arts degree in a mail vote, 335-131. Also approved in the mail ballot, 286-191. The college also accepted of the KU Curriculum and Instruction survey to members of the College faculty.
OTHER ACTION by the College Assembly increased the total number of student representatives in the assembly from 20 to 25 per cent of the total number of regular faculty of the College. The undergraduate representation will remain at 20 per cent and the additional students will be graduate students.
The University Council approved a motion May 10 to allow the College to give a grade of incomplete to students who took the course. The University Council also discussed classes but hadn't passed the Western Civilization comprehensive exam. The Council also approved a resolution providing for a 25-day enrolment in spring classes and a 30-day enrolment in study decrease enrolment time to 2 days.
Commencement Marked By Honors for Nichols
The May 21 Commencement of KU's largest graduating class, 3,054, was threatened by rain. Chancellor Raymond Nichols told seniors to look to the stars in his farewell address, and the seniors looked at the ominous grey sky and laughed. The ceremony was shortened by not having seniors walk across the stae.
Nichols received one of several honors at Commencement when Regent Jess Stewart of Wamego announced that Nichols would become KU's first chancellor emeritus on May 15, in addition. KU's Space Technology Building was renamed Raymond Nicholls Hall.
NICHOLS received an honorary "K-card" and "K-jacket" from the Athletic Board and an honorary life membership and a piece of Steuben glass from the Alumni Association. His wife, Clytie, got a painting from the Endowment Association. He is also survived by Sigma Chi fraternity, of which Nichols is a member, and the Endowment Association.
The auditorium of the new Nichols Hall will be named the Ron Evans Apollo Room, in honor of the KU alumunis, who was a member of the Anello 17 flight to the room.
Meanwhile, KU scientists in Nichols Hall worried about problems encountered in the Skylan space mission because of information that the space station's "Radcat," a sensing device developed by two KU professors, was not functioning. The
"Radscat," is a combination of a radiometer, which measures the temperature of the earth and the atmosphere, and a radar signal reflector. A radar signals reflected back from earth.
SCIENTISTS working on the Radcat are R. K. Moore, director of the remote sensing laboratory at the University of Wisconsin, associate professor of electrical engineering on the Radcat, the scientists are measuring the "antenna pattern" of the radar directed toward Earth, one of the only in the U. S. capable of measuring it.
NASA officials and scientists discovered that the Radastat instrument was turned on at the wrong time, which seemed to indicate a connection, but have since received good results.
During Commencement activities, Irvin Youngberg, executive secretary of the Endowment Association, said the resources needed to make a difference during the past year, bringing the total book
value of the Association more than $39 million.

Coffee, Egg Prices Rise in Survev
By the Associated Press
Coffee and eggs for breakfast? Get them while you can, for their costs are rising alarmingly, along with the costs of such foods. Can stamps as hot dogs and hamburgers.
An AP survey of the prices of 15 food and nonfood items in 13 cities over the past three months showed 35.4 per cent of the products went up in cost in the last three months. Another 41.5 per cent remained the same; only 29.6 per cent were unavailable on one of the survey dates.
The total market basket bill was up in 10 of the cities surveyed, with increases ranging from a fraction of a cent in Chicago to R.I., to almost seven per cent in Chicago.
Coffee and eggs led the list of more costly items. Coffee was up in 11 cities checked, stayed the same in one and was unavailable in one. Most of the increases came between May 1 and June 1 and averaged about 7 or 8 per cent.
EGGS WENT up in 10 cities, down in two and were unavailable in one. Increases from March 1 to June 1 ranged from 2 to 20 per cent.
The higher prices at the checkout counter mirrored earlier boosts in the wholesale price.
Experts in London, headquarters of the International Coffee Organization, said world coffee prices had been rising because of crop failures in Brazil caused by droughts and leaf rust disease; artificially high temperatures; and damage for their exports; and withholding of supplies by growers of the robusta variety of coffee, produced mainly in Africa.
WHOLESALE PRIORIES for eggs during the first quarter of the year rose sharply. The Agriculture Department reported that egg prices decreased during the month May 15, but there was no sign that the savings had been passed on to the consumer.
All-best frankfurters roose in 10 cities from March 1 to June 1 and chopped chuck went up in seven cities. Almost all the increases came in the first two months, however, and between May 1 and May 1, despite higher wholesale prices and short supplies of livestock at market.
The Agriculture Department said last week that livestock supplies in April were down 12 per cent from the previous year, mainly because of the April-17 consumer meat packers to hold back on buying and to withhold their animals from market.
GOV. ROBERT D. Ray of Iowa says that the night notice taught a "meat crust" in 60 states.
The items on The AP's checklist were:
chopped chuck, center cut pork chops,
frozen orange juice, coffee, paper towels,
butter, eggs, peanut butter, detergent,
The careful shopper still could find a few bargains. Buryer and pork chops declined in popularity.
THE CITIES* surveyed were Albuquerque, Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Detroit, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Providence, Salt Lake City, and Seattle.
fabric syriac, tomato sauce, chocolate chip cookies, whole milk, all-beef branka
The same supermarket was used in each city for all the price surveys. Standardized brands and sizes or their nearest equivalent were selected for the checklist.

Two women were chosen to be administrator and part-time physician for the Douglas County Health Department. Kay Kent will be chief administrator and Dr. Jennifer Kent will be principal of Kent began June 1 and Levene will begin in July. Kent's previous position was teaching public health nursing at the KU Medical Center in Kansas City. Levene graduated from University of Oklahoma and her husband will be the physician at Haskell Indian Junior College for two years.
TWO GROUPS are seeking new administrators. A committee of faculty and students is searching for a dean of the School of Business, and the Board of Regents has indicated it will act on a recommendation to appoint a board staff member to direct statewide academic extension programs.
Clifford Clark, who is resigning as dean of the business school, July 1, will be replaced in the interim year by Joseph Pichler, associate professor of business, who will be acting dean. The goal of the committee is to find a dean to begin July 1, 1974.
Eugene Kasper, director of the Center for Student Development at K-State, will be recommended to the regents at their June 28 meeting as statewide coordinator of extension programs. This will eliminate duplication and give more efficient use of the tax dollar, according to Regent Robert Helman.
TWO OTHER groups have hired new administrators. Headquarters Inc., the drug abuse and personal crisis center, will be managed by Evie Unkefer, a 1973 KU graduate in personnel administration who leads a headquarters volunteer for two years.
2 KU Profs Quit For New Jobs
Dr. Ernest B. Brown Jr. was appointed dean of faculties and academic affairs at the Medical Center, replacing Dr. Dante G. Scarpell, who will be chairman of the department of pathology and oncology. Brown has been at the Medical Center since 1961.
Two KU professors have resigned and been moved in mid-July to take positions at pain management centers.
The professors, Murray Wax, chairman of the department of sociology, and Tosalie Wax, professor of anthropology, accepted similar posts at Washington.
Delbert Shankel, associate dean of the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences, attributed their move to the higher salaries they would receive. He said that he was sure
it was a "difficult decision for them to make."
The Waxes were out of town and could not be reached for comment.
Both professors are interested in contemporary American Indian affairs, Indian culture and education in Indian communities. Working as a team or with other researchers, they have conducted several studies on formal education of Indian children on reservations, in small rural schools and in urban areas.

If you find your bathroom boring, this is the cup for you. But more than that, it's great for picnics. Kids love to drink their milk out of it. You grownups may wish to drink other things out of our genuine plastic. It's bright yellow, it's also free with the purchase of any 16 oz. soft drink.
