This means that men and women faculty members are being given equal percentage salary increases based on unequal salaries, with the result of disparity to grow each year. Gilliam said
The findings also showed that 86.9 per cent of KU faculty are men as opposed to 13.1 per cent women. This represents a two third proportion of number of women faculty since last year.
This year, there has been a 1.2 per cent decrease in the number of women professors and a 0.3 per cent increase in the number of women associate professors.
In the past year, the greatest increase in the number of women faculty members has been in the ranks of instructors and lecturers were 16.3 and 16.5 per cent, respectively.
"It appears in comparing the disparity that women are hired at lower ranks at for lower pay," said Marilyn Stokstad, associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. "However, that does not justify the salary discrepancy in specific areas and the decline in the relative position of women in higher positions."
The greatest increase has been in the number of women instructors promoted to assistant professors. The increase for 1973 74 is 31.8 per cent.
No women associate professors were promoted to full professor, the 1971-72 study showed. For fiscal year 1944, 3.4 per cent of women promoted to professor while there has been a decrease of 4 per cm² in the number of women promoted to associate
"I am convinced that the University of Kansas intends to correct salary inequities wherever they exist," said Gilham. "One of the most difficult problems which must be
Ambrose Sarkis, Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs, said, "If there is to be any substantional relief of any disparity it must be the result of the state legislature.
solved is the source of funds to correct salary disparitions."
"There are all sorts of reasons for disparity. I want to consult Affirmative Action on the whole report—sources of bias, personal differences, before I comment further on the study."
"I am shocked at the inequality comparison of the two years, fiscal 1927 and fiscal 1973." Stokstad said. "I thought we were making mistakes in our analysis," he argues that we have actually fallen below (below) them.
Chancellor Nichols said, "I thought we were making progress also. I would like to check over those figures with Affirmative Action."
If "there was previously a question in the mind of anyone as to whether or not discrimination exists, this salary analysis figures 10 percent of the total deam of women, said. "The comparative figures on faculty salaries for the past three years plainly show the need for attention to diversity."
The order prohibits all discrimination in employment, including hiring, promotions, salaries, and fringe benefits, on the basis of race, religion, national origin or sex. This order covers all employees in all institutions with federal contracts of more than $10.000.
Presently, AAW is reviewing all salaried persons included in the 1973-74 University budget to keep KU in compliance with a Department of Labor executive order.
Salaries used in the 1971-72 faculty salary study were taken from the University of Kansas Salary Study compiled by the Office of Academic Affairs in March 1972 under Francis Heller, then Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs.

The club was criticized about its political activities earlier this semester by Hilliard and the United States Capitol.
In a letter to Cindy Steinerge, Kansas City, Kan., junior and chairman of the Student Executive Committee, Unz requested that the Student Senate not give the students their exhibition unless the students perform their exhibition and exhibition booths were non-political.
Al-Adwani said he was surprised by Unz's letter. According to Al-Adwani, all exhibits and programs for the exhibition had to be approved by members of all the national groups which comprise the International Club.
Ryther Museum Home Of Rare Typesetter
By JIM EATON Kansan Staff Writer
The Rythe Museum, housing antique printing equipment, may be the University of Kansas museum that is least known to university students, but it houses a typewriter machine that may be the only working one of its kind in the world.
The Ryther Museum, which is in the University's Printing Service, is named for Thomas Ryther, retired professor of printing at the printing service for more than 20 years.
One of the rarest pieces in the museum is a Simplex typesetting machine. More than a thousand of the machines were sold from the 1960s, but only a few have been preserved.
The Ryber Museum's Simplex is unique because it is in working condition, Officials of the printing service believe it is the only machine of its kind that can still set type.
IN ORDER TO FIND the machine, Ryther placed an ad in the nationally circulated Publisher's Auxiliary magazine in 1959.
The only reply to the ad came from Cecil McDaniel, publisher of the Gainsville, Mo., News. The News bought the Simplex secondhand and used it until 1926. After 1926 the Simplex sat in a storeroom until it was purchased by Ryther.
"The only reason the machine was still around was because McDaniel had bought it second-hand," Ryder said. "When linetype salesmen took them in on trade, they had to buy a backyard set and backyard and smash them with a designer until they could never be used again."
When the Rythter Museum first restored the Simplex to working condition, Rhytter也将 Printing Impressions magazine suit out of his collection, one of its kind still in working condition.
NO ONE HAS disputed the claim.

Pompon Squad Is Selected
The 1973-74 pompon squad members were chosen Thursday night at Allen Field House. The girls chosen were Sharyl Bradley, Greensberg sophomore; Peggy Ferraro, Prairie Village freshman; Gail Gatts, Lawrence junior; Wanda Johnson, Prairie Village junior; Pam Pearce, Cheesapeake; Chesapeake, Va., freshman; Carole Smith, Ottawa sophomore; and Pam Struby, Leawood freshman.
Alternates selected were Suzanne Magee, Louis, Mois, Mc Irishman, and Susan Flum. Flum was not selected.
Don Baker, assistant publicity director of the athletic department, said approximately 40 girls went through the first day of Saturday. They performed a routine to "I'm a Cat" in a song. A panel of seven judges selected 18 girls for the final try-out on Wednesday.
The Regents had announced this week that the new chancellor would be named during their meeting next weekend. Several of the candidates had other positions open to them, however, so the Regents decided to hold their decision a week early, Stewart said.

Nichols has served KU as chancellor since the resignation in August of E. Laurence Chalmers Jr. At that time, he had served until the time a new chancellor was named.
conducted its own spot interviews with associates of Dykes and found he had an unimpeachable record. During the last two weeks, Stewart said, the board conducted interviews with the five finalists, part of a process that prepared before the list was narrowed to five.

Nichols said he was uncertain whether he would retire June 30 or at the end of the year, when he reaches mandatory retirement. He would make himself available to Dykes.
"In my judgment, Friday the 13th is a propitious day to announce the appointment of a new chancellor," Chancellor Raymond Nichols said. "I think it is a good omen."
Nichols said he was hopeful that a new athletic director would be named within two weeks. A new athletic director possibly will be named by next weekend, he said.
