The decision on whether to merge the men's and women's athletics programs at the University of Kansas will be made by Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor.
KU studying 4 plans for merger
Shankel told the 21 members of the Kansas University Athletic Corporation athletic board last night that administrators were still working possible plans to merge the department.
Department reports also were presented to inform board members on the status of the divisions of the athletic department. There will be a separate meeting this year for the athletic board.
rine board is a policy-making body composed of alumni, faculty and students.
WE ARE hoping that by the end of the month, we will have established a permanent to present to the chancellor on
whether or not we should merge the athletic programs," Shankel said.
Bob Marcum, men's athletic director, said, "We have not decided on any of the structures but at least we have had the opportunity to look over them."
Shankel has been meeting for the last several weeks with Marcum and Marian Washington, women's athletic director, to help with the team's recruiting and how to best merge the two departments.
Marcum said that in addition to the four plans examined, administrators had been looking at the merging of the two staffs, as well as the information department and training facilities.
Marcum also said that the Department of Health, Education and Welfare would be taking a look at the athletic department's role in promoting women's athletics as a result of two complaints filed against the University last summer. The complaints alleged that inequities existed in several areas between the men's and women's athletic depart-

"All of us believe we are making rapid progress," Shankel said.
KUAC's June audit report also was presented and discussed at the meeting by John S. Bruner, Jr.
the aunt, which is done twice a year by an independent auditing firm in Lawrence, showed "nothing negative" in the athletic budget. Burrows said.
"With an excess of revenue over expenditures of $118,953 and large ticket sales, we are going into the year with a real firm cash position," Burrows said.
Doug Messer, assistant athletic director and business manager, said in his budget report that 90 percent of the $1.8 million stadium renovation had been completed and the total project was expected to be done by Nov. 15.
BURROWS ALSO estimated that two outstanding stadium construction loans on the east and west decks of Memorial Stadium could be paid off in the next two years. The balance of the east stadium loan would be used to construct the west stadium loan it is £7,000.
The completion of a new elevator for the press box, which was supposed to be finished Oct. 15, is the only part of the project left to be completed. The installation of the elevator was delayed because of construction problems. Messer said.
MESSER SAID workers from the B.A. Anderson Construction Company in Topeka, the firm that handled most of the stadium renovation, would have to come back at end of the football season to replace some bolts and clins in seats that had come loose.
"It's nothing serious, just a matter of routine for it," the Messer said.
