Many applications have been received, Johnson said. She called the number of applications "gratifying" consider that the position will run only once! (HP.)

Johnson attributed the large response, in part, to an increased awareness of affirmative action and its positive impact. In many university jobs generally were popular.
Dykes urges renewal of research support
For those students who step in the morning and missed Chancellor Archie R. Dykes' opening Convocation address, here are some things taken from a prepared text of the speech:
Dykes called for a renewed and more effective response to the University of Kansas, saying the decline of interest in research "could have serious impact on both our domestic welfare and our international security."
In an appeal for more funds to maintain and expand research programs, Dykes called the decline in federal support for universities a major threat to our research capabilities."
He cited several national problems in support of his statement:
*Research and development as a fraction of the federal budget has decreased by 40 percent.
*Investment by industry in basic research as a fraction of net sales has decreased 24 percent.
DYKES CALLED inflation the worst enemy of research support. He said that in terms of constant, unlimited 168 dollars, the government declined by eight percent from 1965 to 1978.
The implications "should be obvious and alarming to anyone concerned about the future of our nation and the continued intial vitality of universities," Dyks said.
*Research and development as a part of the gross national product has diminished since 2013, and it has risen 15 percent in the United Union, 16 percent in West Germany and 20 percent in Japan.
Warning that we cannot afford to continue our national policy of neglect for research, so that a lack of funding allowed to decline, only very large expenditures could revive important research.
To maintain progress in science and technology, research must be supported in universities across the nation, Dykes said.
"We are to grow in self-knowledge and in our understanding of what it is to be truly human, we must be able to investigate his artistic and intellectual heritage."
Carlin awed by change in China

Still weary from his 17-day, 20,000-mile trip to the Far East, Gov. John Carlin told reporters Friday that the People's Republic of China was a land under tremendous changes and that its government was eager to acquire resources to modernize Chinese society.
ALTHOUGH CHINA has made strides in improving education, the country desperately needs assistance in developing agriculture and industry. Carlin said.
Carlin led his 20-member trade mission to several Chinese provinces, where delegates were impressed by the masses of people traveling through cities on foot or by car.
The standard of living in China is modest, and almost all cars are owned by the government. Carlin said.
Carlin also said an agreement might be reached that would allow faculty to spend sabbaticals at Chinese institutions and would allow an exchange of students and faculty between Nankai University in China and the University of Kansas. Also the university of exchanges between Peking University and Kansas universities, he said.
Carlin said the delegation met with several high-ranking Chinese leaders, in-
China's needs in these areas provide Kansas with good opportunities for economic trade and educational exchange, he said.
Carlin said he was impressed by China's emphasis on academic excellence and the development of skills in music and art.
"Talent is spotted and developed in children at a very early age," he said. "We were amazed at the level of talent we saw in 8-year-olds."
Both Carlin and Nygard said they were surprised by the emphasis the Chinese government placed on teaching the English language to its population.
YOUNG CHINESE students encountered by the delegation displayed boundless curiosity about America, according to Terrence W. Nygard, grain marketing coordinator for the Kansas State Board of Agriculture and a member of the trade
Carlin said, "The Ministry of Education expressed need for teachers of English and graduates of Kansas universities who might wish to teach English at Chinese universities."
Nygard said that throughout his travels, he saw no severe poverty or unresturnishment. But he added that the best of all possible worlds "in China."
"WHEN WE WOULD return to our hotel for the night," Nygard said, "we would turn on a TV or a radio and there would be four hour English lession be broadcast."
"The students' minds were just like blotters," he said. "They wanted to absorb endless amounts of information about life in the outside world."

Gov. John Carlin
cluding Vice Premier Yu Quli, who is responsible for all sectors of the Chinese economy.
Carlin said that Kansas was in a natural position to assist China in developing its agricultural industry.
Ui identified each area of the China's needs where Kansas had the resources or capability to cooperate between Kansas and China in areas such as oil, natural gas, animal products.
ONE FORM OF aid to China, Carlin said, would be to make facilities at the grain science department of Kansas State University available to Chinese students. The department has developed a Chinese information on techniques in grain production and handling, he said.
Dana Acker, president of K-State and a member of the delegation, said he expected a limited number of Chinese scholars to visit K-State to specific agricultural problems.
"The Chinese cultural revolution of the 1930s decimated many of the country's ethnic minorities, and China is rebuilding the institutions, there are very few gentlemen students ready and willing to fight."
Carlin said Kansas would encourage the sale of U.S. grain to China to reduce surplus stocks and thus increase the prices Kansas farmers receive for their crops.
ACKER ALSO said China would be limited in the number of students it could send abroad because of short money supplies.
He said the Chinese leaders were unwilling to dislodge China's short- and long-term grain import needs, but added they were "very positive" about the possibility of purchasing U.S. wheat.
HIS PRESENCE as governor of Kansas, he said, allowed Kansas businessmen to conduct direct talks with Chinese officials that otherwise would have been impossible.
Carlin defended his presence on the trip, saying that the Chinese placed great emphasis on direct talks with government leaders.
Carlin estimated that Kansas taxpayers would pay $20,000 for his expenses and those of his business partners. Carlin said he soon would issue an invitation for a Chinese delegate to visit
A detailed report on the trade mission will be completed in the next few weeks, he said.
