6 Mondav. December 10, 1973 University Daily Kansan Nichols . . . From Page One year. We came out of the year with a feeling of joy, which Chancelor Dykes has been a blessing. Nichols compared the students and faculty of 50 years ago with those of today and concluded that there had been a significant improvement in both. "In fact, I'm not sure I could have made it as a student here had I come today," said Nichols, secretary of the Phi Beta Kappa chapter here for 42 years. NICHOLS GREW serious as he sculcated on the future of KU. "A decline in the birth rate is going to affect our enrollment in the coming years," he said. "Also, the growth of the community colleges will affect our enrollment. They're going to take a higher percentage of freshmen because it costs so much to go to college. We think these persons are playing pressure for increased tuition are wrong." Nichols said the public was questioning the value of higher education. "The thinking today is more that education should be career oriented and ess simply learning how to Nichols.

Pachacamac From Page One secret societies. He added that most Greeks weren't involved in Pach and that they probably didn't know of it or its activities until the past few weeks. In recent years Pach has paid for a number of advertisements in the Jayhawk yearbook. In these ads, the Pachacamac has stated its aims and purposes. "The Society of Pachacmeac, although unknown to most persons on campus, plays an active, positive role in student life and encourages the students ..." an ad in the 1867 dayjawker book. "Pachacama isn't an organization that exerts its power through coercion or force, but instead is a society which, because of the quality of its members, believes its aims can be realized through influence and persuasion. "There is today no affiliation or undue concern with campus politics; the society and state are different." However, according to Dennis Mullen, Shawnee senior and president of Tau Kappa Epsilon, Pachacamac does have a great experience especially in the Interfraternity Council. "SOME MEMBERS of the Interfraternity Council are involved in Pachacamac from the top level on down," he said, "and they have great influence on fraternity affairs." Another past member of the IFC said the first time he heard of Pachacamac, secret societies and their activities was when he attended IFC meetings. Mullen said Pachacamac was a detriment to the fraternity system. Rhoads Stevens, Garnett sophomore and member of Beta Theta Pi fraternity, said Pachacamac was a potentially dangerous environment that should be brought out into the open. "Secret societies are a thing of the past," he said, "and I see no need for an underground group to accomplish social and political objectives. "Pach is in an organization that seemingly wants to take care of us," Stevens said, "but I consider this an insult to the intelligence of the people, especially when an organization thinks it knows how to take care of us better than we ourselves. On Oct. 26, 1912, the Society of the Inner Circle of Pachacamac was founded as a student political party supporting William Howard Taft for the presidency of the United States. Taft was the Republican candidate. The next year, Pach turned to campus politics and started to build a dynasty of political power and influence that was to last for the next 42 years. SOME PEOPLE expressed the opinion that Pach was only an elusive ghost being chased by a bunch of witch hunters, but they were not alone in their activities were matters of historical record. xxxxxxxxxx Alexander's • Specials Everyday • Dried Flowers • Gifts • Bath Botique V12-1320 826 Iowa CRESCENT APARTMENTS ●Crescent Heights ●Oaks ●Acorn ●Gaslight ●Rental Office 1815 W. 24TH 1 and 2 BEDROOMS Area's Largest Selection GUITARS • AMPS • MUSIC GIBSON KUSTON FENDER KASINO OVATION EPIPHONE Rose KEYBOARD 1903 Mass. 843-3007 Open Evenings Guitar Shrints % Price Day of the Week . .
