Bio Chairman Candidates Cut
The recently organized search committee to select a new chairman for the division of biological sciences reduced the number of students in the program to 10, in a meeting Thursday night.
Search committee chairman Charles Wyttenbach, associate professor of physiology and cell biology, said the eight-member committee discussed each of the 20 candidates and their qualifications before voting.

The division of biological sciences is comprised of the departments of physiology and cell biology, systematics and ecology, biochemistry, entomology and botany.
Last week Wytteben said the new chairman of the division would probably be a former Ackerman.
"Two or three of the remaining candidates are from departments outside the division of biological sciences though," Wyttenbach said.
Faculty members from the School of Pharmacy and the University of Kansas Medical Center were also encouraged to apply for the position.
The search committee will meet again Monday night to "weed down the list of candidates to a more workable number," Wyttenbach said.
The search committee had originally planned to present two or three candidates to be voted on by the 70 faculty members of the division of biological sciences. Wyttenbach said that no date had yet been set for that voting session.
"We're still a long way from the final selection of a candidate," Wyttenbach said. The resignation of Ron McGregor, present chairman of the division of biological sciences, will become effective July 1.
