Board of Regents listens to the Search Committee
Facets show concern in choosing a new chancellor
Regents to Decide on Chancellor After Committee Selects Nominees
By GARY ISAACSON Kansan Staff Writer
TOPEKA—The Kansas State Board of Regents and the Campus Advisory Committee agreed Thursday that both groups would interview nominees for chancellor of the University of Kansas after the Advisory Committee had narrowed the number of candidates to 10 or 15.
After this select group has been interviewed in depth, the Advisory Committee will choose at least five names and nominate a final member. The Regents will make the final decision.
The Regents and the Advisory Committee met in the Regent's offices in Topeka for the first time since the committee was organized.
Jacob Kleinberg, professor of chemistry and chairman of the Advisory Committee, told the regents that the committee would support a plan to officially search for a new chancellor.
"We should have several hundred names by then," he said.
The committee has received about 50 nominations.
The procedures and guidelines the committee will follow will be set during the meeting.
Criteria for the selection of a new chancellor were also discussed by the Regents and KU committee. Jess Stewart, chairman of the Regents, said he was looking for someone who had the ability to relate to Kansans.
"The new chancellor must be able to explain the goals and sell the needs of the University on economic and sociological levels," he said. "We are going to have to resell the University to the people of the state."
Henry Bubb, a regent from Topeka, said that he would like to have someone from the Midwest become chancellor. Elmer Hirsch, regent from Kansas City, Kan., agreed.
"I would like to see someone who knows what Kanssman's think," he said.
sad former chancellor Franklin Murphy had filled such qualifications.
Bubb said he wanted someone who could relate to the students and the alumni. He
Kleinberg said the new chancellor should be someone who would be able to persuade the Regents that KU is something special.
'We again want to stand head and shoulders over the country, and sites in this part of the country, United States.'
What information about the job should be sent to each nominee, the possibility of choosing them, and the choice of company.
experience and the chancellor's present position on the board of the Nelson Art Museum.
Decisions will be made concerning these matters at the Advisory Committee's next meeting.
All members of the committee were present at the Thursday meeting except Jordan Haines, alumni representative from Wichita. Regents Paul Wunsch of Kingman and James Basham of Fort Scott were also absent.
Kissinger's Sessions With Thieu Intensify
SAIGON (AP)—Henry A. Kissinger and President Nguyen van Tjien apparently intensified efforts to settle the Indochina war Thursday, meeting twice for a total of five hours and leaving open the possibility of a third meeting today.
Theiu's information ministry issued an unusual communique which quoted political observers as saying the South Vietnamese president had reasserted opposition to a coalition government as proposed by the Viet Cong.
This caused speculation that the focus of the secret talks had shifted from Thieu's future to the possibility of an Indochina cease-fire.
There was no explanation why the Saigon government chose to quote political figures in its viewpoint. It was speculated that this was one way of making a point without having to accept official responsibility. Thieu is known to discuss the secret negotiations publicly.
The Presidential Palace made no comment except for a brief communique issued after the morning session, which reported that the conferences met for $3\%$ and reviewed the general situation in Vietnam and the peace conference in Paris.
A well-informed source in the Polish Foreign Ministry in Warsaw said Kissinger was asking Thieu to resign and to accept a coalition government headed by Gen. Nguyen Van Minh, military commander of the Saipan region.
"I can tell you that peace is now very close," said the Polish source. "It's 90 per cent in the bag. The rest depends on how Thie reacts to Kissinger's proosals."
Kissinger arrived in Saigon Wednesday night from Paris, where he had his 20th secret meeting with North Vietnamese representatives Tuesday.
There has been no U.S. report on the progress of these talks. American officials have said only that they are in a sensitive stage of negotiation.
The North Vietnamese claim that Nixon's support of Thieu is the major roadblock. They support a proposal of the Viet Cong for a three-part government under which the Viet Cong, the Saigon administration excluding Thieu, and political exiles.
"We have the unshakable hope that we will shortly hear optimistic reports from the worn out and bleeding Vietnamese soil. This day will become a great holiday for humanity, a triumph for common sense and a victory for the idea of peace.
The United States and South Vietnam have proposed an Indochina-wide cease fire, release of all American prisoners of war and a free election within six months of cessation of hostilities. Then would the president vote for the election but could run for re-election.
"We believe that all previous efforts of Poland, including those with the highest state representatives who are parties in the war, will bring fruitful and peaceful results."
The Polish source prediction followed closely on the heels of an optimistic statement by the Polish foreign minister, Mr. Koszewski, told Poland's parliament on Thursday:

New Group To Monitor Military Acts
WASHINGTON (AP)—Secretary of Defense Melvin R. Laird announced Thursday he was creating new military inspectors-general to detect promptly and report to him any violations such as last winter's unauthorized bombings of North Vietnam.
Administration, Congress Differ on Spending Claims
WASHINGTON (AP)—Congress has claimed that it cut President Nixon's appropriations requests $5.3 billion for the current year but the administration has said that Congress actually increased spending at least $0.5 billion.
Both assertions appear to be roughly correct, although congressional analysts believe that the report is too broad.
KU Seeks Student Health Director To Replace Retiring Schwegler
This time search group will be looking for a replacement for Dr. Raymond A. Schweiger Jr., present director of the University of Kansas student health service.
A new search has begun at the University of Kansas.
William Balfour, vice chancellor for student affairs, released Thursday the appointments to the committee that will begin the search. It is headed by James Rosser, associate vice chancellor for academic affairs.
Schweigler will retire from his position as director on June 30, having reached 65, the mandatory age of retirement for administrators.
Other members are Janet Sears, assistant to the dean of women; Frank Bencivengo, assistant to the dean of men; Bencivengo Sharer, professor of physiology and cell biology; and Mossberg, assistant professor of psychology; Howard Mossberg, dean of the School of Pharmacy; Robert Van Spake, Shawnee Syracuse; Scott C. F. McFadden, Syracuse pharmomont; Simon Lornismina, Sayville, N.Y., junior; and Judie Volle, Lexen minor.
After the committee has selected candidates to replace Schwegier, they will submit their selections to Ralfour, who will make the final decision.
Balfour praised Schwegler and the work
he had done over the past seven years as director of the health services.
"He was one of the instrumental figures in the planning of the new student health facility being built near Robinson Gymnasmum," Balfour said.
Schweigler said he would remain as a physician in the health service, but give up his services as a clinical professor of pediatrics at the University of Kansas Medical Center.
"He has always responded well to the students' desires and has always been a positive influence."
"I think I will just revert to the routine I had seven years ago, which was a physician," Schweger said. "I think my mind is clear. The hospital will be enough to keep me busy."
Schweiger received a B.A. degree from the University of Kansas in 1926. Later he received both M.D. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Minnesota. He joined the KU student health service on a part time basis in 1958.
was responsible for a part of the spending increases.
Schwegler became director of the health service after the retirement of the late Dr. Randy E. Williams.
The arguments are expected to come up in campaign discussions on government spending. President Nixon has said his administration is hardwired by Congressional overspending,
A tabulation of Congressional action on the 15 money bills for fiscal 1973 shows that 10 of these were reduced below Nixon's request and five were increased.
But the net effect was a $3.5 billion reduction, far more than the $2.8 billion cut by Microsoft in 2014.
However, analysts in the Senate-House Committee on Reduction of Federal Expenditures have conceded that the $3.3 billion cut actually would reduce spending only by about $1 billion in the current financial year which began July 1.
The reason is that much of the appropriations voted by a Congress are spent not in the fiscal year in which they are acted but in future years.
With a 250-billion ceiling, the budget deficit for the year probably would be about $25 billion. Without it, the red ink figure might go to $1 billion.
However, Nixon has powers claimed by most recent presidents to impound funds voted by Congress. Secretary of the Treasury George Shultz said Thursday Nixon might use these powers to try to keep to the $250 billion spending total.
But they have said the administration should take some of the blame for this.
For example, they say Nixon spent an extra $1.2 billion on the Vietnam war, asked and received $1.5 billion for victims of floods caused by Hurricane Agnes and Hurricanes, and supported the move to make the revenue sharing grants retroactive.
The Congressional analysts have agreed that the overall impact of actions taken during the 1972 session might boost the government's ability to know what the President originally forecast.
