Dillon Quits As Sea

Chancellor Raymond Nichols announced today the resignation of David Dillon, Hutchison senior and former University of Michigan professor. He will join the athletic director search committees.
Nichols said he had named Mert Buckley, Wichita junior, student body president, to be Dillon's replacement. Nichols said that Dillon had resigned to prepare himself for the CPA examination and that he wouldn't devote to the search committee.
Buckley, Nichols said, would attend summer camp at KU and would be helpful when working with students.
Dillon said he had been on the committee for five months now and with the new revitalization of the search, he though this would be a good time to step down.
"After the selection of Dykes, it was smooth sailing," shenk said. "When Dykes came to KU, I met with both him and Nichols and we agreed that the committee would work with the best man. That was of the greatest value. It took a lot of pressure of the committee."
"Now all that has to be done is to convince the candidates that the University of Kansas is a good place."
"The committee has about 10 more prospects now," Dillon said. "And I haven't worked with any of them. So it will be a good time for Mert to take my place. And I will give him any information he needs to be given with the past activity of the committees."
"We thought we had covered most of the country before," Dillon said. "But we really didn't. Now we have asked the alumunat to lead us in finding some of the country's better prospects."
The search is now ending its fifth month without an athletic director. But search chairman Henry Shenk, professor of physical education, said he would not be rushed and would not quit until the proper man was found.
The months before the revitalization of the search were frustrating. Shenk said, and bogged down with indecision. But the team was able to make progress in January that managed to get away.
Dillon said he was very enthusiastic about the new efforts of the search committee and said he thought the man they selected would be very canable.
Shenk said that the pressure on the committee to find a candidate was intense at times but much of it was relieved with the addition of the new KU chancellor Archie Dykes.
In January, Doug Weaver, who was the Kansas State head football coach and later the Missouri head football coach, retired.
Watergate...

before Nixon's acceptance Monday of their resignations, sources said.
It apparently was prompted by continuing news accounts linking them to the Watergate swirl and was accelerated after reports that John Dean III, fired Monday by Nixon as presidential counsel, was ready to turn over to investigators certain documents relating to an alleged White House cover up of Watergate involvement.
Not long afterwards, it became known that Nixon's Watergate investigators had ordered that FBI agents be posted around the clock at the offices of Haldeman, Ehrichman and Dean and other locations where Watergate files are kept.
Haldeman and Ehrlichman were seen leaving the White House Tuesday morning carrying stacks of documents. They rode off the back of a limo and headed to the seat of a White House limousine.
Ziegler said the resigned White House still had access to files in their offices but that whenever files were removed an account must be present to record the action.
Asked whether any files linked to Watergate were missing, Ziegler said he had been informed by Leonard Garment, Dean Dunes' duties, that this was not a problem.
Edmund De Chusca, professor emeritus of the University of Iowa, will present a lecture in Spanish on Don Quixote at 4 p.m. in the Council Room of the Kansas Union.

Tolling Bells in New Tower To Honor KU's War Dead
Dec. 18, 1947—Honor, valor, courage and the patriotic love for a proud America will soon become a permanent fixture on the University of Kansas campus.
The peaceful valley surrounding this majestic midwest campus will soon house a war memorial dedicated to the men and women of this institution who valiantly served this country in the dismal time of war.
Over 8,000 men, women, students and recent graduates from KU found it in their hearts to join the army, navy, marine corps and air force during those tricing years of World War II.
During those years, KU lost 269 of its citizens. These people died so that others like them could speak and act freely without fear of the threat of a dictatorship looming over them.
The memorial will consist of a memorial drive that will wind around a bell tower, or campanile. The bells for the tower will be imported from England.
The alumni of KU started work on the memorial over two years ago. They decided on a tower of bells, a memorial drive and a quiet garden as an expression of reflection in honor of those who have died for their country.
The entire project will cost approximately $500,000. The alums have already collected over $160,000. When $280,000 to be collected, new collection will begin on the tower.
The tower will house 53 bells. It will be constructed out of limestone and will have a diameter of about 10 feet.
When completed, the tower will be directly north of Strong Hall, which is now the
The money that has been accumulated so far has come from a variety of sources. E. M. Hopkins, professor of English, long thought that there would someday be a university program $200 for its construction. His bequest will provide enough money to purchase one bell.
The water and the woods create an ideal atmosphere for listening to the music of the bells. The stadium and immediate area are packed with seats wide enough space for over 50,000 listeners.
The Pi Beta Phi and Gamma Phi Beta sorority classes of 1922 have provided for one bell each.
The four other bells that have been purchased so far have been funded by the families of four men who went to KU but were killed during the fighting during World War II.
The four men were: Lt. Charles N. Kelly,
from Hutchinson; Lt. Joe R. Laird, from
Talmage; Lt. Sidney Linscott, Jr., from
Erie; and Lt. Don B. Pollom, from Topea.
Bells that are memorials to individuals will bear the names of the individuals, the name of the person who gave them, or both.
The bells will cost anywhere from $25,000 for the largest one to $250 for the smallest. One there will be one bell that will cost $150,000 for the largest one at $8,000, one at $7,000, one at $6,000, $5,000, one at $4,000, and one at $3,000. Five bells will be sold for $2,000, five for $1,500.
Construction begins on the $500,000 memorial bell tower that is to dominate the campus on the north of Strong Hall. Some students feared that upon completion it would turn out to be a "leaning tower of Oread."
