Women
affairs, said the University had made strides in hiring faculty members.
She said the University had hired more female faculty members last year than in previous years. Out of 34 people hired last year, 10 were women and five were minorities.
Much of the progress is due to an advisory committee she established last year to identify potential groups of women and minority faculty members. She said. The committee also monitored them.
THE ADVISORY committee will continue to aid in the recruiting process this year. she said.
Tacha also said he did not think sexism was a pervasive attitude at KU.
"My own perception is that a great deal has changed, at least at the administrative level."
Gold said the University had been sluggish in implementing some affirmative action procedures, but she did not fault Budig or the present administration.
Since 1974, the unclassified女士's advisory unit has asked the University to train administrators on affirmative action guidelines, she said.
THE GROUP also has pressured officials to
make the administrator's efforts on affirmative action become a factor in salary evaluations.
Such steps were recommended in the Labor Department report, which was made public last month after department officials signed a memo to the commission committed the duty to correcting the affirmative action violations.
At the beginning of the meeting, Budig expressed his desire for a strong affirmative approach.
Budging said, "I am committed to the advancement in the area of affirmative action. I believe very strongly that a viable affirmative action program will strengthen the University."

of our controversial positions on issues," Sanchez said. "Many groups affiliated with us challenge the administration. We support groups that talk back to the administration."

Two years ago, KU-Y was in danger of losing its funding from Student Senate because of its failure to pay tuition.
"Certain people on this campus are very conservative," Sanchez said. "You find them in fraternities, sororites, Student Senate, the Young Republicans or whatever. But I don't know if you could assert that they represent a majority on campus."
This year, Student Senate gave KUY - $1,578,
despite a rider on the KUY-funding bill in spring
1981 that asked the group to stop coming to
the Senate for funds.
LOREN BUSY, chairman of the Student Senate Finance and Andating Committee, said, "We have a strong financial foundation."
there were questions about KU-Y's income from Rock Chalk. That income goes totally unregulated.
Last year, the Board of Class Officers decided to produce a show similar in format to the Rock Chalk Revue, a KU-Y fund-raiser. Fraternities and sororites that would have performed in the BOCO show in the BOCO show instead. Consequently, the Rock Chalk may not be done at all this year, Sanchez said.
There are other ways to raise funds besides "Keep Chalk, and we still have rights to the men."
The program was the group's primary fund-raiser and provided the salary for KU's employees.
KU-Y's fund-raiser is uncertain now, Sanchez the group may have to eliminate the position of coordinator, she said. The coordi- maintains the KU-Y office and answers mails.
However, Keenan Gentry, KU-Y treasurer, said losing the Rock Chalk Revein in its old format was not the crushing blow that it might seem to be.
LAST YEAR, one skit began with a jungle scene, Gentry said. White students smooled with brown makeup jumped from behind paper trees and tightened a student dressed as a British hunter.
The hunter crushed, Don't take me.
Gentry said, "It's just little things like that.
They make me less than sad about losing Rock Chalk.
The hunter cried. "Don't eat me!"
"It's no great loss to us to lose skits that perpetrate racism and sexism. The people involved with Rock Chalk were upper middle class, with a high sensitivity to the issues of racism and sexism."
Now, the Student Senate asks that KU-Y send copies of his handouts to them for review to him.
Input wins freshmen elections
By DON KNOX Staff Reporter
Candidates from the Input Coalition easily defeated three other coalitions and two independent candidates in the two-day freshman class elections that were marched by the committee, for formal complaints, Dan Lowe, Board of Class Officers election chairman, said yesterday.
Input members William Easley, Overland Park freshman, president; John Allison; Prairie Village freshman, vice president; Janell Langley, Kingman freshman, secretary; and Jess Salisbury, Topeka freshman, treasurer, were officially made the winners of the election just after 9 p.m. yesterday. Polls closed at 4 p.m. after 666 freshman, an unusually high number, had voted.
The complaints gled with BOCO included one that resulted in a reprimand for an elec-
trician.
Lowe said the student, Scott Jurtry, Leawood freshman, promoted Input candidates at a GS-Corp bishop box lest night. He was wrong to claim he had been in a complaint was filed by a GS resident.
BOCO MEMEERS called students who cast balloons while Jury was working. Lowe said, and gave them a chance to recast their votes. About 18 students voted while Jury was
Lenny Mullin, a Command Coalition candidate who finished second in the vicepresidential race, said he was aware of the violation.
"I think the investigation of the scandal was handled fairly," Mulliin said.
Easley, the new freshman class president, said, "I think that Dan did a really good job with handling the problems that came up. Dan kept his cool."
LOWE SAID, "There are complaints filed every year. There are this many every year."
I may say here are this many years ago.
Lowe said he had warned Jury not to solicit
votes when he instructed him on election
rules.
"Scott also swears that if he did it, he didn't do it intentionally," Lowe said.
Jury declined to comment.
Easley, Jury and Lowe are all members of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity.
ANOTHER COMPAINT claimed that the Command Coalition exceeded its campaign spending limit of $100, but Lowe said yesterday that an audit of the spending figures confirmed that Command had not violated election rules.
Lowe said GSP-Corb residents also complained that Generic Coalition candidates had attached campaign literature to doors in the residence hall. Generic Coalition candidates violated campaign rules, he said, and were told they would be fired if they did it again.
This year's freshman election was the first election to be run entirely by BOCO. In the past, the Student Senate has assisted BOCO in its annual elections.
Lowe said BOCO operated the elections this year because it had "no affidaction whatsoever" with the Senate. He added that BOCO did not receive funding from the Senate.
He said he did not expect any problems when BOCO runs class officer elections again palpable.
