Regents to get committee suggestions
By MARLA BABCOCK Kansan Staff Writer
KU's Chancellor selection committee has interviewed nearly 20 prospects for the Chancellor's position and hopes to send its recommendations to the Kansas Board of Regents this month.
Five to 10 names will be presented to the Regents for further consideration, said Ambrose Saricks, associate dean of the Graduate School and committee chairman. The committee is composed of both students and faculty.
Max Bickford, executive officer of the Board of Regents, said last night that no date has been set nor plans made for selection of the new Chancellor.
The student committee is "advisory to the faculty in the same way that the faculty is advisory to the Regents," Saricks said.
Rick von Ende, Abilene, Tex., graduate student committee member, said the All-Student Council (ASC) organized the selection mechanism for the seven-member student committee.

functioning, the ASC didn't have time or organize a complex election system, von Ende explained.
Von Ende called the system "as democratic as you could have with such limited time." Both undergraduate and graduate students are represented on the committee.
Since the selection of the student committee last fall, members have met regularly with the six-member faculty selection staff.
"We have had from one to
three members of the student group at each of our meetings," Saricks said.
Two faculty members and two students interviewed prospects in New York during the holiday break, Saricks added.
Both Saricks and von Ende seemed pleased with the student-faculty cooperation among committee members.
Von Ende said the students meet separately from the faculty to discuss matters surrounding the selection.
"The students have been valuable and very active," Saricks said.
Von Ende said the student committee is always invited to a meeting or luncheon with each candidate. The luncheons give committee members an opportunity to meet and talk with candidates on a more informal basis.
Both men indicated that determining the final list of candidates to be recommended to the Regents will be a difficult task.
