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 for 42 years.
NICHOLS GREW serious as he speculated 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 through. Think those persons who are applying 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 care-oriented and
less simply learning how to live Nichols.

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.
"Pachacuchac 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.
"The Society of Pacachacm, although unknown to most persons on campus, plays an active, positive role in student life and encourages its members to . . ." an ad in the 1967 Jawkaven read.
In recent years Pach has paid for a number of advertisements in the Jayhawk yearbook. In these ads, the Jayhawk Palacama has stated its aims and purposes.
"There is today no affiliation or undue concern with campus politics; the society has to remain neutral."
However, according to Dennis Mullen, Shawneen senior and president of Tau Kappa Epsilon, Pachacamac does have a great influence especially in the Interfraternity Council.
"SOME MEMBERS of the Interfraternity Council are involved in Pacachacamac from the top level on down," he said, "and they have great influence on fraternity affairs."
Mullen said Pacachacam was a detritum to the fraternity system.
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.
"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.
Rhoads Stevens, Garnett sophomore and member of Beta Theta Pi fraternity, said Pachacamac was a potentially dangerous situation that should be brought out into the open.
"Pach is 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.
SOME PEOPLE expressed the opinion that Pach was only an elusive ghost being chased by a bunch of witch hunters, but now it is clear that all the villains were martyrs of historical record.
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.

Where the Funds Come from . . .
Bv LARRY FISH
The University of Kansas will spend more than $55 million this year to pay professors, feed students and fund the research lawn in front of Strong Hall and perform the thousands of other functions of a large multi-faceted campus.
Just as the University's functions are complex, its funds come from many sources and are used for different purposes.
State appropriations are spent mainly on resident instruction, maintenance of the physical plant and administration of the University, according to last year's report. Among these, the bare bones of the University.
The largest single sum, the backbone of the KU budget, comes from the general fund of the state treasury. Even so, the annual appropriations by the state legislature account for a half of half of the University's resources.
The text of an appropriation bill is quite simple. For the current fiscal year, the bill provided for almost $21 million for "salaries and wages," about $3 million for "other operating expenses," about $1.25 million for insurance Shares and few smaller appropriations for specific expenses.
Figures prepared for the University's Financial Report Summary for financial institutions accounted for about 45 percent of the operating revenue for the university.
Part of these fees are kept by the University to pay for health services and other incidental expenses. The bulk of the fees, the part that's called tuition elsewhere, isn't kept by the University.
The total of the main appropriations for this fiscal year from the state budget is $78 million. From time to time, the legislature makes special or supplemental appropriations to allow for the construction of buildings or other special projects.
On paper, the state appropriations occupy no more than a half-d dozen teachers and administrators. The state bestows its support on more than 4,500 teachers, administrators
Instead, that money is sent to the state treasury in Topeka.
Before the beginning of each semester, the registrar is required by law to estimate the revenue that the University expects to collect by predicting the total number of students to enroll and the average amount of fees to be collected.
The next most important source of University funds comes from fees students pay at enrollment. This semester, the fees for full-time students were $272 for Kansas residents and $667 for out-of-state students.
This estimate is important because it is the amount of money the University will get back from the state treasury out of the actual fees collected. If more than the expected amount of money is collected and the enrollment is larger than the registrar predicted, the treasury keeps the surplus unless and until legislature votes supplemental aid.
Thus, the University can be caught short of funds to handle a larger-than-expected number of students.
This semester, however, the amount of student fees collected cell phone charges will be Chancellor Archie R. Dykes attributed this to the increasing number of students paying in-sate rates and dents paying only part-time fees.
The Kansas Legislature will be asked in January to appropriate supplemental aid to make up the shortage, but whether the Univer-

In addition, he says, $1.3 million is available for the National Defense Student Loans Fund. Low-interest student loans are made from this
Glen Marotz, assistant dean of Research Administration says the relatively large amount of money given KU is "due entirely to the excellence of the faculty."
Jeff Weinberg, assistant director of the Financial Aid Office, says he has no way of calculating the amount of money the University receives through outside scholarships. The chief sources of these scholarships, which are all administered by the University, include organizations, organizations such as the Lion's Club and other states, Weinberg says.

The Office of Student Financial Aid also helps students get special bank loans and administers grants to students in particular fields, such as
An important source of the scholarship money the Financial Aid Office receives is the KU Endowment Fund. The fund ended ending April 30, 1973, the Endowment Association provided the Office of Student Financial Aid nearly $1.5 million in scholarships, fellowships and grants, included all of the athletic scholarships.

Another example of the use of private funds to supplement state appropriations is the practice of endowed chairs to the University.
"We have some 22 or 23 chairs here and at the medical center," Youngberg says. "Essentially, these are $100,000 dollars, the income from which is used to supplement the salary paid by the state."

"We stand 45th in the country in terms of federal dollars garnered for research." Marotz says. "When you look at the universities above us, you realize that being 45th isn't bad."
Yet KU is consistently able to get a large number of grants compared to the number of propositions submitted by the faculty of the high caliber of the faculty.
The amount of research money spent at KU could vary widely from quarter to quarter, he says. In 1972, the University received $21 million
On paper, the state appropriations occupy no more than a half-dozen lines of type. In those few lines, the state bestows its support on more than 4,500 teachers, administrators and service employees.
"We get funds from many sources," Marotz says. "Research support here is quite broad-based."
Most schools that received more federal funds to carry on research are such institutions as Harvard, MIT, California Institute of Technology and others with "massive research bureaucracies." Marotz says.
In contrast, he says, KU has only three persons involved in research administration, and all of them have heavy teaching duties as well.

Money spent at KU for research is generally from public rather than private sources, he says, because schools need to fund projects at private schools.
The NASA building on west campus was built with federal funds for research, Marotz points out.
