University Daily Kansan Thursday, May 3, 1973 Merger to Combine Minorities Programs BY SARAH WOHLRABE Kansan Staff Writer A merger of the Office of Minority Affairs and Affirmative Action for Women, (AAW) will strengthen the Affirmative Action program at the University of Hawaii-Mahiko Nicholas and Shirley Gilham, Bates City, Mo, graduate student and director of AAW, said Wednesday. Gilham was appointed director of the new KU Affirmative Action office Tuesday by Nichols, Brenda Vann, acting director of the Office of Minority Affairs, will continue as director of minority affairs within the combined office, Nichols said. The merging of the two offices is effective immediately, Nichols said, but the offices will continue to operate separately until space becomes available for an office in another city. Nichols said that E. Laurence Chalmer Jr., former chancellor, was the initiator of the merger idea. Chalmer discussed the merger offices more than a year ago, said Nichols. "I have been in favor of combining the two Universitywide programs from the start, but one can never anticipate what will happen," she said. "I did not implement the idea earlier because I wanted to see the Affirmative Action program developed before I did any investigation." Nichols said he viewed the merger as a pooling of stenographic help and records. *Presently, there is a duplication of files these two offices which seems a waste of肝 power.* Gilham said that she had not been briefed by Nichols about the merger or her responsibilities in the new position but that she thought the combination was an efficient way of administering the Affirmative Action program. "The way I see my new role is that I am now responsible for implementing and monitoring the Affirmative Action plan for women and other minorities." Gilham said. Vann declined to comment on her new position. Gilham said she hoped the combination would eliminate the "tangle of paperwork" in his office. "Instead of keeping records we will be bringing about actions and results," Gilham said. "Some pressing needs that I see are the need to develop an academic faculty members, funding for extensive Bremner Improves, Out of Intensive Care John B.

Supportive Educational Services (SES) will not be brought under the direction of the new Affirmative Action office, said Nichols. He said that SES would be directed by William Balfour, vice chancellor for student affairs and that SES would be directly responsible only to the Office of Student Affairs.
