new directions or to add faculty with new ideas."
Nichols said universities also should face the possibility of collective bargaining by universities.
The 1973 legislature, he said, is to be commended for its actions. Nichols listed it as one of the three most important things.
—Supplying merit salary increases;
—Approving a disability and health-insurance program similar to one provided for employees covered by the state retirement plan; and
-Increasing faculty participation in the Tax Sheltered Annuity Plan.
ANOTHER MAJOR accomplishment of
the year was the adoption of the Affirmative Action Plan, Nichols said.
"At the same time," he said, "we need to guard against the equal evil of reverse reasoning, and we must be established for implementation on a basis of realism, not in an over-zealous emphasis, which, in effect, converts our commitment to quotas for the sake of justice."
Nichols also said that the women's intercollegiate athletics program had been inadequately funded by the Student Senate and would be better supported by the legislature to help support the program.

NICHOLS URGED the University to relate its academic programs to current social needs and opportunities. Many students, he said, drop out because they do not believe that college is preparing them for any relevant place in the emerging new social order. Nichols warned that continued education will be saturated areas would inevitably result in a widening credibility gap between universities and the public.

dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Roy Edwards, Kansas City, Kan. alumnus, and Chuck Loveland, KU Medical Center student, was formed. Loveland was later replaced by Clyde Chapman, Lawrence graduate student.
"the interviews were in depth but we tried to keep them informal," Von Ende said. "They were like a friendly grilling." They were also interested in the interview the subcommittee members reported their opinions about and reactions to the nominee. Von Ende said the reports

were transcribed, and the subcommittee members went back over these transcriptions to add further comments after reviewing with all the nominees were completed.
Three nominees dropped out of the runn-
ing. Von Ende said that the subcommittee
would have to provide nominees for the
nominees in categories. Those receiving the
support of all the subcommittee members
were put into one category, those receiving
the support of two categories, and
into a second category and so on, he said.
ON MARCH 1 the subcommittee made its report to the full committee and the list of nominees was narrowed on the basis of the subcommittee's categorical listing. Roughly 10 to 15 candidates were on the second list. Von Ende said that these candidates and their focus areas for extensive interviews with the full advisory committee.
The committee then met on April 1 to decide which candidates were to be recommended to the Regents, who made the final decision. A list of six finalists was sent to the Regents the same day, with relevant data compiled by the committee.
Max Bickford, executive officer of the Regents and unofficial member of the advisory committee, said that after the list of finalists was received by the regents, interviews were set up for April 11 and April 12 in Wichita.
He said that between April 1 and April 11, four Regents traveled to different parts of the country to talk to the candidates and people in the candidates' areas.
HE SAID that Regents also made their own inquiries through sources who knew the
"There was traveling done particularly to Tennessee," Bickford said, "because three people in the town had been stabbed."
Two candidates were eliminated before the interviews in Wichita. Bickford said that the Regents reviewed their material last week and interviewed interviews and then made their decision.
"I can tell you it was a tough decision to make, he said. The members of the board would have to decide."
The chancellor said the University was completing a long-range institutional resources plan that would state in compact form the goals, missions and needs of the university. This study would go far beyond the traditional physical plant development plans.
Dykes was notified by Stewart Thursday night and the Regents announced their plan.
Von Ende said that the advisory committee search, which was funded by the KU Endowment Association, cost approximately $10.000.
The Regents received a $10,000 appropriation from the Kansas Legislature to fund their part of the search. Bickford said they had used approximately $4,000.
"I SEE a bright future for higher education generally, and for KU in particular," Nichols said. "But this is only if we are willing to venture in new directions. The University has gone through an era of change." KU's education must be willing to respond vigorously to the consequences of growth and change."
Nichols said the Board of Regents had pledged its unanimous support to raising faculty salaries, over a three-year period, to the average of the University's peer group colleges. This will involve, he said, an increase in the per cent annual over the next triennium.
"I do not claim to have solved many problems this year," Nichols said in conclusion. "Some are perennial, such as parking, athletics and computer services."
NICHOLS pointed out improvements in some areas, such as the public image of the University and of higher education, the confidence in the University on the part of the alumni and the people and the spirit of open communications on the campus.
"For these improvements, I take no responsibility as a result from the cooperation of many people."
"I want to express to the Board of Regents, the entire faculty and the student body my sincere appreciation for their understanding of University problems and their support to keep the University headed forward and upward.

"I had just gotten Larry Chalmers' resignation," Stewart said. "I walked up to Ray and asked him if he would assume the chancellor's post if it were offered to him. He replied that he was not anything you ask me to for the University. The University is my life. I love KU."
Jess Stewart, Wamego, chairman of the kansas Board of Regents, addressed the assembly on Wednesday.
