say they think that is why Bunten wants the Regents reorganized by May.
When the legislative session opened nearly a month after Henderson turned in his resignation, Bunten started talking about changes that Washburn needed.
A couple of weeks later, Bunten introduced a bill as a long-range project to assimilate Washburn into the Kansas Board of Regents and became one of the first need for a separate Washburn Board of Relegents.
SUCH A BILL, however, would take up to eight years in the legislative process and Bunten said that he wanted immediate changes in the state laws to prevent barnbush—both financially and administratively.
"It makes sense," Buten said. "Looking from the perspective of a school facing financial problems and a school without a president, I went to Washington quickly to find someone to run Washburn."
To hasten the change, Bunten next introduced a bill to remake the Washburn Regents. He said that he introduced the bill because he wanted a new, more active panel.
Other concerned parties, besides Blair, have noticed a friendship that has developed over the years between Bunten and Henderson. They also believe that Bunten was acting in the interests of Henderson when he proposed the changes for Washburn.
"Hunten and Henderson are good friends," a member of the Washburn Regents said. "Frequently I have seen them at the end of the day, and I often see them in our old Martine drinking buddies from way back."
"I most certainly believe that all of these changes, especially the one with the Regents, have come because Bunten saw a good friend get all but terminated."
State Rep. Loren H. Hohman, D-Topeka, also knew of a friendship between Bunten and Kramer.
Henderson said his relationship with Bunten was "a friendly acquaintance."
Bunten said that he and Henderson often ran
into one another and occasionally went out socially.
BUT, HE SAID, they travel in entirely different circles most of the time. Buntan and that man at the counter.
"The main reason for my introducing the bills was not because Washburn would not renew President Henderson's contract," Bunten said. "I know that a lot of people believe that because of a friendship with Henderson, I have an obligation."
"I don't agree with that, but that is their interpretation. Everybody has tended to read something into why I am introducing the measures."
Although Bunten admitted that the release of Henderson sparked his interest in changing the Regents, he also said that once he looked into the matter, the panel appeared to need adjustment.
"When I began to look into the matter," Bunten said, "I saw what constituted 40 percent of the Regents be nominated by Unified School District 501. The problem with that is the school district does not provide funds for Washburn."
Bunter said the bill would eliminate one of the USD 100 Regents and give the nominations to the Governor.
The proposed bill also would have the mayor choose one Regent now picked from within the city from the Topeka area but outside the city limits.
"I think all of the members are good people," Bunten said, "but they are ticked off because they think that what they are doing with Washburn is correct."
Blair and other members of the Regents said that they explained to Bunten their reasons for releasing Henderson. Bunten told them he still believed in the action, but that he understood their reasoning.
However, Blair added, Bunten said he would not change the way in trying to change the system.
"I can't understand why Bunten has attacked her," Blair said, "but the only explanation I can get is that she was insulting me."
Bunten has charged that the Washburn segmentager and that too, and that they were the Regenera missed meetings.
"I think that our board is as efficient as any other Board of Regents," he said. "Rep. Buren, I think, has been working with some erroneous concentrations about us. It makes me mad as hell."
BLAIR STRONGLY denied the charges.
"In the last 32 meetings we have had 23 with seven or more Regents present. The thing you have to remember is that this board is not a full-time job."
A quorum of the 10-member board is six. The
A Quorum of the to-member board is six. The "We are trying to do what is best for the university," he said, but it would need a state board, then we will go along with that. What bothers me is that the other bill does a great disservice to men who had done a tremendous job.
Blair said he could trace back all the controversies about the Regents past Bunten.
"I think our track record is fantastic."
"All the inmudendees that the Washburn Regents are not doing their job goes back past Bunting," he said. "I think it stems from someone who had lost the confidence of the Regents, who then worked through Bunting to banner sentiment against the board in the press."
Substitute House bill 2193, the bill changing the face of the Regents, was on the agenda for 2016.
The House, however, did not get to the bill. It expected to be voted on at the beginning of next month.
Not since 1968 had anyone died from a policeman's gun in Lawrence, but on July 16, Donald Dickwell, a 19-year-old black man was shot and killed while running from police.

BSU
Police reports said a .357 magnum was
the bullet that Dowdell had fired at.
The black community responded instantly. Violence and protest continued sporadically in the streets of Lawrence. On July 20, another life was lost.
This time it was a white student, Harry Nicholas Rice. He loved Loewe freshman wife of grapher.
Rice was part of a group which fed police tear gas after they created a disturbance in front of the Rock Chalk Cafe, a tavern on the campus of campus now called the Hogwarts Crossing.
Hots were fired and Rile went down, he
died on arrival at Lawrence
Memorial Hospital.
No one was ever prosecuted for either death.
SHORTLY AFTER THE RICE shooting, a student was fired from University employment because, on the day after Dowell's graduation, he used 27 boxes of ammunition with BSU funds.
Protests followed over the firing and in the
fall of 1970, the BSU organized a general strike by black students.
One of the black students later surrendered to police.
On Dec. 7, the day the strike began, a white student was shot while trying to stop two blacks from painting "strike" on the stairwell in front of Watson Library.
On Dec.10, the strike ended.
DURING THIS PERIOD black faculty members were meeting with KU administrators in an effort to quiet the unrest.
William Bafour, University ombudman, was dean of student affairs during the troubled years and said that he acted as a go-getter to the black students and the administration.
"They were fairly hostile, but it was understandable," Balfour said. "The administration could have been a lot faster in training them. They did their foot-dragging in major areas."
Balfour said the BSU grew angry when the Vietnam protesters began to tie up University officials, cutting the time available for addressing black student needs. But, Balfour said the change produced by the BSU were not due and did not have occurred if the group did not exist.

showing that death penalties actually encouraged murder rather than deter it.
enough lawmakers would change their minds to override the veto.
The House is 83 votes shy of an override of Carlin's vote, if the Senate overrides it.
House Majority leader Robert Frey,
a strong death penalty supporter, said
AND EVEN THROUGH there are not enough votes now in the Senate, Senate President Ross Doyen, R-Concordia, and Sen. Ed Reilly, R-Leavenworth, said they wouldn't give up without
trying to override a veto.
Kansas has not had a death penalty since 1972, when the U.S. Supreme Court threw out a Georgia death penalty similar to the one Kansas had.
