BYMICHAELBICK The growth of the University and the strain on the budget in all aca- demic areas have contributed great- ly to the increased complexity of the University's operation. Administra- tive problems are tremendous and, according to Chancellor Raymond F. Nichols, they increase almost geo- metrically to the University's growth. Raymond Nichols knows because 1972 marks his 50th year at the Uni- versity of Kansas. Nichols began his career in 1922, when he entered the University as a freshman. He gradu- ated in 1926 with a degree in jour- nalism, and in 1928, completed a masters degree in the same field. Nichols was hired as executive secretary to Chancellor Ernest H. Lindley in 1929. The title changed to executive secretary of the University in 1938, and Nichols served in this capacity until 1962, when he became vice-chancellor for finance. ln 1969, he retired from the vice-chancellor's post and again assumed the job of executive secretary of the University. When Chancellor E. Laurence Chalmers lr. unexpectedly resigned in August, Nichols was named Act- ing Chancellor. On October 20, the Kansas Board of Regents named Nichols as the 12th Chancellor of the University of Kansas. The new title was conferred in recognition of Ni- chol's long years of exemplary serv- ice in handling the affairs of the University. As Chancellor, Nichols faced the difficult problems of a growing Uni- versity. The most pressing problem being how to adequately finance the institution. We're underfunded in relation to other Universities of our size, Nichols said. We're underfunded in relation to our mission. Keith L. Nitcher, vice-chancellor for business affairs, prepares budg- ets and deals directly with the day to day costs of University operations. The Office of Business Affairs makes purchases, classifies civil service per- sonnel, handles employee relations and is responsible for the payroll. The office also coordinates all of the business transactions through the appropriate divisions of the State Administrative Department and maintains close affiliations with the State Controllers Office. The Chancellor is also assisted by other capable administrators in mak- ing the functions of the University run smoothly. The Office of Student Affairs, di- rected by Vice-Chancellor William M. Balfour, administers activities and programs outside of the classroom. With a staff of approximately 1,000 people, the office coordinates elev- en divisions of the University: the Dean of men, and Dean of Women, the Dean of Foreign Students, Ad- missions, Financial Aids, Guidance Bureau, Housing, Health Service, the Student Union, the Information Center, and School Relations. These offices advise student groups, stu- dent government, and individual students. The Office of Academic Affairs deals with all undergraduate pro- grams in the University, their in- structional budgets, faculty' salaries, and supply and expense budgets. Directed by Vice-Chancellor Am- brose Saricks, the Office works closely with all of the Deans of the University's schools and with the 24 Office of Graduate and Research Studies. Saricks has two assistants, jerry Hutchinson as assistant vice-chan- cellor for academic affairs, and james Rosser as associate vice-chan- cellor for academic affairs. The three men work together on budgets, long range planning and as liaisons be- tween the various academic concerns. Hutchinson acts as a liaison be- tween the University of Kansas and Haskell Indian junior College, works with the academic budget, and teaches in the Department of Higher Education. Rosser is chairman of the Universi- ty Computation Committee, a member of the University Space Committee and reveiws academic programs. Saricks succeeded Francis Heller when the new position of vice- chancellor for research and gradu- ate studies was created in the sum- mer of 1972. The two vice-chancel- lorships replaced Heller's functions as vice-chancellor for academic affairs. Vice-Chancellor William I. Arger- singer, in charge of research and graduate studies, is responsible for the administrative supervision of graduate studies and of research- related departments, such as the Geological Survey, Child Research Center and the Computation Center. Graduate studies encompass all graduate programs at the University except in the Schools of Social Wel- fare and Law.
