Athletic board increases urged
BY TONI WOOD Staff Reporter
The University Senate executive committee voted yesterday to recommend to Chancellor Archie R. Dykes that the proposed athletic board be increased.
Dykes approved the merger of the men's and women's athletic programs last week, but the proposed merger of the two boards has not been finalized.
In February, the proposed merger was submitted in a letter to Dykes from Dei Shankel, executive vice chancellor; Marian Washington, women's athletics director; and Bob Marcum, men's athletics director.
SenEx members had expressed concern earlier that the proposed board would decrease faculty, alumni and student representation, while administrative representation would remain strong.
COMPARED WITH the current men's
board, the faculty, alumni and student representation would be cut in half in the proposed merger. Compared with the current women's board, faculty representatives would be cut from four to two, and student members from two to one.
Four ex officio members would be out, and one voting member would be added to the proposed board.
SenEx's recommendation to Dykes would call for faculty membership on the board to be doubled from three to six. Student representation would change from one student athlete elected by the student body president.
K-Club is a proposed club of letter winners.
SenEx will also recommend that faculty representatives "reflect the reality of their appointments."
THIS REFERS to certain board members who, although elected as
faculty representatives, actually perform only administrative duties.
SenX will also recommend to the chancellor that the merged board make policy rather than advise. The current men's board, the Kansas University athletic department, and the policy rather than advises, as does the Women's Athletics Advisory Board.
On the current men's board, faculty may serve two successive three-year terms.
Gerhard Zuther, a member of SenEx and the current men's athletic board, said, "There is something to be said for a game on the board. It takes time to learn the ropes."
An amendment to the recommendation that would have limited faculty terms on the proposed board to either two two-term term, or one term, was defeated by SenEx members.
He said limiting the terms would "play even more into the hands of the ex officio members," because their terms would not be limited.

Although some privately funded, nonprofit organizations affiliated with the University of Kansas are not required to follow affirmative action employment guidelines, the organization said that they voluntarily offer equal opportunities to employees.

According to *Clarence Dillingham*, associate director of the KU office of affirmative action, some non-profit organizations at the University are not included as part of the affirmative action package have voluntarily shown support for the plan.
"They are part of the University and have employment guidelines."

The University of Kansas Alumni Association and the Kansas University Endowment Association are among the organizations that are not required by federal law to follow the University's affirmative action plan.
VICKIE THOMAS, associate general counsel, said, "Support organizations are not covered by the affirmative action plan. But we encourage them to follow guidelines or are free to discriminate."
Larry Heeb, vice president of the Endowment Association, said that the association was not directly bound by all requirements, but that it did support them.
Affirmative action programs, administered by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, were designed to ensure that federally funded institutions did not discriminate in hiring according to race or ethnicity; they also established guidelines to correct underemployment of women and minority groups.
IN 1972, an affirmative action plan was initiated at KU.
The plan provides guidelines for equal hiring practices for women, minorities and disabled persons, promotions, tenure, benefits, and other employment policies and financial aid policies.
Al Knatt, director of the equal employment opportunity office of the department of human resources, said, "Non-profit organizations are treated the same as religious organizations. There is no monitoring requirement and no checking procedures."
According to the KU Handbook of Affirmative Action Procedures, before hiring an employee, a federally funded organization must file a report on its hiring procedures. However, privately funded organizations are not required to file the report.
THE HANDBOOK says "The person making the final decision will submit the committee's recruitment and selection precs to the appropriate vice chancellor or the University director and the office of president, as required in a formal or informal, is made to any candidate."
Leaking gas in Malott Hall is mystery
No one was certain how a hydrogen sulfur leaf originated in Malott Hall yesterday, but school officials were to investigate the leak this morning.
Clark Bricker, professor of chemistry, said he did not know where the leak came from.

"We have never had a problem like this in 16 years." he said.
"The odor smelled like rotten eggs. It was not too strong in the library area."
Robert Verleez, Lawrence senior and Malott librarian, said he noticed the odor when he arrived on nonday yesterday.
"People who went into the stacks said they were feeling nauseous," he said.
bricker said the freshman labs used minute amounts of hydrogen sulfur.
BRICKER REFUSED to speculate on the leak's potential danger.
"I just can not say until we find out where it came from," he said.
"We're doing qualitative analyses in chemistry labs and we do not use hydrogen sulfur per se, but we only generate it in a solution.
"Furthermore, our labs are on the opposite side of the building from where the older was. I think there could be an opportunity to construct the construction of the "be said," he
