Archie Dykes of Tennessee Named 13th KU Chancellor
By GARY ISAACSON Kansan Staff Writer
Archie Reece Dykes was named today by the Kansas Board of Regents as the 13th chancellor of the University of Kansas. He served on the board of the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
Dykes will succeed Chancellor Raymond Nichols, who has been chancellor since the resignation of E. Laurence Chalmer Jr. in 2014. Nichols was chairman of chancellorship here July 1. Jes Stewart, chairman of the Kansas Board of Regents, said the exact details of the move had not been disclosed.
"It is with the greatest pride that I announce that the Board of Regents, by unanimous action, late Thursday elected Mr. Grace Curtis as president of the University of Kansas." Stewart said.
"This announcement culminates the search process which was extended over a six-month period and has involved over 150 nominations," he said.
Stewart said the Board of Regents expressed deep gratitude for the work done by the campus advisory committee which was composed of students, faculty and alumni.
"When the regents moved into the process of final interviews, they realized just how well this committee had done its work and that I had followed the charge given it," be said.
"The quality of candidates speaks not only of the work done by the committee, but also indicates the respect which the University commands." he said.
Earlier this spring, Stewart said that the regents and the committee were committed to naming a man who would bring to the University a background of experience in the law, and that he will legislate and the alumni, as well as the students, the faculty and the staff of KU.
All of the final candidates were of such quality that the final choice was made only after intensive re-evaluation of all the interviews. A detailed review of the interviews, Stewart said.
"We are confident that Dr. Dykes is this person," Stewart said. "Every contact made in the search process was positive as far as Dr. Dykes is concerned and this was particularly true with those who have worked with him."
Stewart predicted that the University was now entering a new era of even greater change.
*D. Drykes will emerge as the unifying force for innovation and improvement in all US schools.*
Stewart commended the campus advisory committee and particularly chairman Jacob Klinberg and acting executive secretary E. Ende. Stewart also paid tribute to Nichols.
"We feel that the University has been in excellent hands, Stewart said. "Never have we felt that KU was in a holding pattern." During this year rather than have the had distinct feeling that we were progressing on course and this is a true reflection of the university's role in the University family, the regents and all Kansasans have for Chancellor Nichols."
Stewart said Dykes, his Nancy and their two sons would be in Lawrence next weekend to take part in the functions scheduled on campus as the Board of Regents holds its April meeting. The family also will attend the KU relays on Saturday, he said.
Dykes is a native of Tennessee. He has B.S. and M.A. degrees from East Tennessee University and an education doctorate from the University of Tennessee.

The bill appropriates $22.1 million from state general and federal revenue sharing funds to supplement $22 million in revenue bonds.
A bill to finance the expansion and modernization of the University of Kansas Medical Center at Kansas City will be presented by morning in formal exponents in Touche.
"This is an unprecedented step in the state of Kansas because no other educational facility has ever received such a large appropriation," William Rieke, KU vice chancellor for health affairs, said Thursday night.
The number of Kansas residents applying for admission to the Medical Center last fall was 1,306.
The enactment of the expansion bill.
Senate Bill 280, also facilitates an increased enrollment at the Medical Center.
Kansas Gov. Robert Dockert said in a statement before the signing that the expansion bill would mean that the size of the freshman class at the Medical Center would increase from its present enrollment of 154 to 163 in the fall and to 200 by the fall of 1974.
Chancellor Raymond Nichols said Thursday night that the passage of the appropriation bill was the most significant piece of legislation passed in the last 50 years in Kansas for the training of students in the medical sciences.
The selection of Dykes ends a search that began Nov. 2, 1972, by the 12-member campus advisory committee. The committee includes five members, four alumni and four students.
Alumni members of the committee were Jordan Haines, president of the Fourth National Wichita surgeon; Roy Edwards, a Kansas City businessman; and William Hagman, a Pittsburgh businessman. Mastro replaced Hospital. Kansas City Hospital.
Faculty members of the committee were Ronald Calgaard, associate dean of liberal arts and sciences; Marilyn Stokstad, associate dean of liberal arts and sciences; and David R. Stern, associate dean of the circular section at the KU Medical Center; and Kleinberg, professor of chemistry.
He was president of the Tennessee College Association from 1969 to 1970. Dykes won a scholarship from the National Association of State Universities and Land Grant Colleges, of which KU is a member. He is also a member of the American Association for Higher Educac

man class at the Medical center should please many students who would be appalled.
Docking also expressed hope that the bill would signify that more physicians would be trained and would intern in Kansas and therefore remain in the state.
Lawrence and Douglas County officials began discussions Thursday on how $900,000 in annual city and county revenue sharing funds would be used.
Man Killed; Officer Shot At Tavern
Douglas County Attorney David Berkowitz said a burglar alarm was turned in at approximately 3:30 a.m. Policecene responded and found that someone was still inside the house when the police opened the door for policemen and ordered the man to come out, Berkowitz said.
First, the report contained thirteen requests for funds from local organizations, in each instance to support "people programs." There was a consensus that approximately 10 per cent of available funds might be applied.
Nichols said one of the main considerations of the bill was to keep more students in Kansas after graduation by increasing the increased enrollment in the Medical Center.
Six "capital expenditure items" (principally for buildings) were also listed as within the priorities established under federal law.
Berkowitz said the man inside fired at officers, striking Lt. Eugene Williams in the thigh. Wilhama and Patrolman Eric Smith fired the fire and the man inside was killed.
The proposals contained in the staff report were broken down into two parts, corresponding to the two broad federal categories for permissible expenditures.
The purpose of yesterday's meeting was to examine proposed uses for the funds and

Rieke said he and several members of his planning committee would be present at the ceremonies today. Nichols said he also planned to attend.
The groups agreed that those common interests included consideration of the following factors:
Mayor Nancy Hambleton said that the city group was meeting principally to consider possible alternative sources for funding some proposals and to consider the city's possible continuing obligation to fund those proposals that might be ultimately accepted.
"Everyone at the Medical Center is enthused about planning to meet the health care needs of Kansans," Riele said. "Gov. Docking and the legislators have been more than cooperative concerning our appropriations."

Nichols said he was pleased that the legislators approved the appropriation, and that they "recognized the problem in them and wanted to contribute to its solution."

fund money be used to reduce the amount of revenue bonds needed for the project.
"With this bill I am signing today, we will accelerate the present rate of progress." Decking said. "Also, by committing approximately one-half the cost of the total taxpayer taxes, we will taxpayers approximately $7 million in bond interest costs over a 30-year period."
Docking said the legislation was the second step in the total funding of the expansion of the Medical Center. The first step came last year in legislation establishing the Wichita State University branch of the KU Medical Center, according to Docking.
Docking said the bill would accelerate construction of labs and classrooms to train additional physicians and would mean facilities at the Medical Center hospital.
Earlier this week, Docking signed Senate Bill 99 appropriating $1.2 million to match a federal grant for a new basic science building at the Medical Center. Also in addition to this budgetary appropriation in administrative fees for planning the expansion of the hospital.
Rieke said the capacity of the hospital would be increased by 334 beds to a total of 580 beds.
Members of the Kansas Board of Regents and the Campus Advisory Committee indicated today that the man they selected to be the Chancellor of the University of Kansas was exactly the man they were seeking.
Chancellor Archie Dykes of the University of Tennessee, who will assume the duties as KU's 13th Chancellor July 1, the background to fit in at KU, they
"We were impressed with Dykes' credentials," Kleinberg said, "The University of Tennessee is in much the same situation as KU. This guy is really loved in Tennessee. He is a top-nobuck guy who will fit in perfectly with KU."
The University of Tennessee has an enrollment of 28,000, Kleinberg said. KU's Lawrence enrollment is 18,000 this semester.
"He comes across very sincerely and he has a broad knowledge about what is reasoned."
"He is just the man we were looking for." Stewart said. "We think he has the ability to relate to all Kansans, both urban and rural, with his work extremely well with faculty and students.
Jess Stewart, chairman of the Board of Regents, said Dykes' educational philosophy could be considered middle of the pack. At the University to move forward under Dykes.
"The University of Tennessee is a counterpart of the University of Kansas," said Dr. Donnie L. Patterson, an advisory committee, said "Tennessee is a large university that includes undergraduate and graduate programs, has a rural constituency and faces some of the challenges of being located in the south."
"This is a feather in his cap to move to KU." Stewart said.
Stewart said Dykes would visit KU with his family next week in conjunction with the Board of Regents meeting at Lawrence and Wichita universities, a press conference at 9:30 a.m. Friday.
Stewart explained that KU was one of 41 universities considered the nation's elite. The university of Tennessee is not a member of the group.
Dykes was selected from a final list of five candidates submitted to the Board of Regents two weeks ago by the Campus Advisory Committee, Stewart said.
Stewart said the board relied heavily on the committee's report. He said the board

Bugged by the 13th? Stay in Bed
By ALAN HURLBUT Kansan Staff Writer
Dear Sirs: I am scared to death of Friday's it is. I stay in bed all day and play to play it.
Terrified
You might have found the perfect solution, Terry. You might also have an excellent plan for surviving Wednesday after your first day, and maybe any other day you wake up in feeling unlucky.
Frankly, we think that you would be wasting your time. Of all the superstitions available to us, you have picked the most innocuous.
Our researchers have found that the stigma on Friday the 13th was placed there by the ancient Norsemen. It seems that once upon a time 12 Norse gods were feasting when their party was interrupted by a 13th god, Ingald the Gate-crasher. There, probably was enough to go around, they offered Harth the Toastmaster, died that Friday.
If you still think that there might be substance to the jinx, the ancient Norseman had it right.

meat each night. Do you see what we mean?
If you insist on feeling persecuted, Terry, you should try a more practical superstition. Take walking under ladders for example. There are innumerable
examples of people having bad luck while walking in under a ladder.
Some pretty terrible things also happen to people who walk under scaffolds, cranes and hod-carriers. Walking across busy streets is not easy. Wearing a wapper also is considered fairly unhappy.
Cuppy kept a record of his luck for seven years after breaking a mirror but decided that the results were inconclusive. He felt that he hadn't been too lucky to start with. If you decide to get out of bed today, Terry, good luck.
There doesn't seem to be any accurate information on how much bad luck breaking a mirror actually brings. The studied study was made by one William Cuppy.
Perhaps you should try being deathly afraid of breaking mirrors. They cost money. Besides, if your mirror is broken you might miss that piece of spinch stuck between your front teeth. Then you'd under all night why your date did not kiss you.
You're an interesting case but we have other things to worry about, what with the phone number? No.

affirmative action plan intended to bring KU into compliance with federal gudeless prohibiting discrimination in salaries on the basis of race, religion, national origin or sex.
Gilham said one reason for the greater disparity this year between men's and women's salaries was that all faculty members were given salary increases based on straight percentages of their present salaries.
