year. We came out of the year with a feeling of pride, which Chancellor Dykes has felt among his peers.
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 Phil Beta Kappa chapter here for 42 years.
"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, think these persons are plumbing pressure for increased tuition are wrong."
NICHOLS GREW serious as he speculated on the future of KU.
Nichols said the public was questioning the value of higher education.

THE NICHOLSSES said they plan some traveling after retirement. They were going to visit their son, h
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 last few weeks.
In recent years Pach has paid for a number of advertisements in the Jayhawk yearbook. In these ads, the Pach Pacamac has stated its aims and purposes.
"The Society of Pacachacum, although unknown to most persons on campus, plays an active, positive role in student life and works with students to read ..." an ad in the 1907 Jayhawk book.
"Pachacimac 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.

Pachacamac
"There is today no affiliation or undue concern with campus politics; the society is too engaged in politics."
However, according to Dennis Mullen, Shawnee senior and president of Tau Kappa Epsilon, Pachacamac does have a great reputation 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 Pacaachmac, secret societies and their activities was when he attended IFC meetings.
Mullen said Pachacamac was a detriment to the fraternity system.
"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.
PEOPLE EXPRESS the opinion that Pach was only an elusive ghost being chased by a bunch of witch hunters, but when he was captured by villagers were matters of historical record.
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.
On Oct. 26, 1912, the Society of the Inner Circle of Pacachacane was founded as a society of Jewish immigrants to Howard Taft for the presidency of the United States. Taft was the Republican leader.

Building the Budget
Making a Budget Involves Pain
By DON KINNEY
Putting together the budget for the University of Kansas is a long, arduous, painful task, according to an accounting department official.
the夏季施肥 During the nearly two years it takes to formulate a budget for a single facial leaf, a budget proposal wends its way through the University bureaucracy to the Kansas Board of Regents to the State Budget Office to the governor to the Kansas Letitulaire and back.
But because of a new policy of open budget hearings and a stipulation that the office of the state budget director must report back to the agency, the governor's actions have turned James Bibb sava no other process would be better.
The main difficulty with the system lies in the need for estimating KU's enrollment a year and a half before the students arrive. Because budget requests are based on this estimate, an error of more than a few hundred students either way means less money for the University.
The estimate, based on current enrollments, trends in enrollments in high schools and junior colleges in the state and economic trends, is separate to two parts, undergraduate and graduate students.
The total of undergraduate students is divided by 15. an average number of hours carried; and the graduate student total, by nine. This gives a full-time equivalent number, the FTE.
However, not all officials agree with the way the FTE is derived.
"The School of Education is not funded at the level of the rest of the University in terms of the credit hours that we produce," says Dale Scannell, dean of the School of Education.
Jerry Hutchison, assistant vice chancellor for academic affairs, says that the system would be more representative if student classifications were different. He suggests four categories: freshman-sophomore, junior-senior, master's candidates and doctoral candidates.
"Unfortunately, the FTE formula doesn't provide for institutions such as the library and museum."
The beginning of the process, even before any estimate of FTE numbers are made, is in April, when the Board of Regents sets guidelines for the state schools.
Issuance of these guidelines is preceded by planning talks in March by the chancellor, his staff and the budget officer, who suggest the guidelines to the regents for discussion and issuance.

What has been decided on the University level is discussed in the Presidents' Council, which comprises the heads of the state colleges and universities. It is important to everything before it goes to the Board of Regents.
A legislative request is then prepared by the University budget officer, and the completed document, a general statement of the criteria for funding, is given to the Board of Regents in June.
During August and September, the University budget officer prepares the budget document with the help of the vice chancellors and other administrative officials.
The reagents review the requests and make visits to the campus to consult the chancellor and at the beginning of August return their recommendations to the University.
This process is time consuming but important. It actually takes longer than the few weeks allotted, and most officials involved say that the process has been extended to talk about the budget continues year-round.
"It's a democratic way of decision-making." says Hutchison. "It's slow, but effective."
rinally, fall enrollment data, obtained by the 20th day of classes, is integrated into the estimates.

"In the '50s and 60s, there was linear growth of enrollment," says Hutchison, "and errors in the estimation were not too serious.
"Now, with enrollment leveling off and trends that affect the residency of students who would have been considered out-of-state before, the errors can be costly." Hutchison says.
The budget document is broken down into three levels of funding: the rate allowed according to the FTE, specialized money for new projects at work and other costs, and money that encompasses salaries, wages and operating expenses.
"Usually, the only money that we get that isn't carmacked for a specific item is the money for us."
If enrollment drops below the figure that was estimated, the legislature retains the extra money, and it is difficult to know how much.
If enrollment exceeds the projected figure, however, the legislature doesn't appropriate more monies to staff.
It is possible to get back part of the money retained by the legislature by asking for an extra allocation in the form of an appropriation bill, but usually only part of the total is returned.
A few years ago, only about $185,000 was re-bated instead of the nearly $1 million request
In October, once the final estimate is made and the budget document completed, it goes to the state
"The state budget office has no authority to make final decisions," Budget Director Bibb says. "We only study, review and make recommendations in the document for the governor and the legislature."
However, the budget office does suggest a sizable number of cuts, and many faculty members and administrators see their programs going down the drain when Bibb's office finishes.
William Dannerbaker, chairman of the Board of Regents, says that operating expense money hasn't been raised in accordance with rising prices and that items such as library books and scientific equipment are all but impossible to buy with present funding.
“Some of our special needs such as student teaching supervision and doctoral studies just cannot be quantified in the budget, and therefore are not funded as much as they could be,” says Son-
Bibb says his office recommends cuts not because it doesn't like a proposal but because the proposal can't be funded on the basis of projected revenues.
"But we will recommend that a program be built if it has outlived its usefulness, says Bibb. "and we should provide that to those who need it."
Recommended cuts are announced in late November, and all agencies requesting funds are invited.
