Docking says budget request must be cut
TOPEKA — Gov. Robert B. Docking today said budget requests for fiscal year 1969 will have to be "reduced substantially for the budget to be soundly financed."
The governor made the comment during a morning press conference in which he announced that a record $692.5 million had been requested for fiscal 1569, an increase of 7.5 per cent over the estimate for fiscal 1968.
The governor said requests for state operations from all funds for fiscal 1969 was $321 million, up 11.3 per cent from the fiscal 1968 estimate. He did not break the figure down to include the requests for the state's universities and colleges.
A spokesman for the Board of Regents said a final revision of KU's budget would not be made until enrollment figures for Fall 1968 could be certified. The spokesman indicated that the KU budget probably would be increased from what the board recommended last summer. He said the adjustment would be made because enrollment at KU this fall was higher than anticipated and therefore probably will be greater next fall.
Docking said, "We will face hard choices and we will have to defer some desirable but not essential programs." He added that "government must live within its resources and these choices must be made."
Earlier in the year, Docking asked state agencies to hold budget increase to a minimum and to "take a careful look at all new proposals."
KU asked the regents for $34.
748,841 for fiscal 1969 while predicting enrollment for Fall 1968 would be 16,298. This prediction was 773 students more than the 15,525 predicted for the current year. Actual enrollment this fall was 15,690.
The Regents cut the KU budget in July to $33,608,380 as part of a $5.6 million cut for the state's institutions of higher learning.
The Regents annually review the budgets for the state's colleges and universities after fall enrollment figures are compiled.
Bickford declined to predict how much the KU budget would be increased.
The KU budget currently represents a six per cent increase in faculty salaries.
It also includes $354,000 as the state's share of a $2.3 million Space Technology Building which will be constructed at KU. If this budget item is approved, construction could begin in late 1969.
The KU budget currently being reviewed by the Regents budget officer is $3,290,061 more than the fiscal 1968 budget.

Dixie jail awaits Rev. Martin King
ATLANTA — (UPI)— The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. planned to fly to Birmingham, Ala., today and surrender with fanfare to begin serving a five-day jail sentence.
The sentence, one of at least a dozen meted out to the Nobel Peace Prize winner in more than 10 years of leading civil rights demonstrations, is for contempt of court arising from the bloody 19-63 Birmingham demonstrations.
King was convicted of contempt of court for disregarding an order against demonstrations.
King's arrest is expected to touch off another round of demonstrations at an old battleground generally conceded to have set the stage for sweeping federal civil rights laws.
King and three aides also facing jail terms early today abandoned a plan to slip unnoticed into Birmingham where King would have attempted to marshall a march to the jailhouse.

Instead, King and his entourage scheduled a flight on a commercial airliner and announced a news conference for 11:30 a.m. EST today at the Atlanta airport before takeoff.
Appels on the sentences went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, which earlier this month upheld the convictions.
Prints taken
Two Japanese woodcut block prints were stolen from the lobby of the Union Sunday between 4 and 5 p.m.
The prints, not part of the Price Collection in the Spooner Art Museum, were valued at less than $25 each, according to Frank Burge, Union director.
