Leaders eulogize Docking at capitol service

TOPEKA — Nearly 300 people surrounded the second- and third-floor rotundas of the Kansas Statehouse yesterday to take part in a last memorial service to former Gov. Robert B. Docking
Two of Docking's closest friends, Junction City newspaper publisher John Montgomery and former Democratic state chairman Norbert Dreiling, offered emotional eulogies to the four-tier governor, whose wife, Meredith, and mother, Virginia, attended the half-hour service.
DOCKING DIED Saturday in his Arkansas City home at age 57 after a long bout with emphysema. He was buried Tuesday in Kansas City, Kan., named father, former Kansas Gov. George Docking, who died at age 39 of emphysema.
Rep. Dan Glickman, D-Kan., said yesterday that his request had been granted that all U.S. flags at federal buildings in Kansas be lowered to half-staff through Friday in honor of Docking.
Docking's two sons, William Docking and Lt. Gov. Tom Docking, also attended yesterday's memorial, as did Gov. John Carlin and three former
Republican governors — Robert Bennett, John Anderson and William Avery, whom Docking defeated in 1966.
CARLIN, WHO WAS unable to attend Docking's funeral Monday because of a back injury he suffered in an auto accident, said the pump and circumventor had been sent to a memorial service befit "the passing of such a great man as Bob Docking."
Montgomery lauded Docking as a governor who never forgot the "little guy," the taxpayer.
Montgomery ended his remarks with,
When I say this last goodbye, Robert,
I am proud of you.

He said that tutors would help students with problems. Also, students will have the option of attending a workshop each week to cover material (for the coming week).
The mathematics department has revised Math 101. The course will be self-taught next fall, and tutors will be able to students who would need them.
Knapper said that students needed more individual attention in Math 101 than a self-instructed course with tutorial help would provide. Students might be reluctant to seek tutors when they need them, he said.
Self-taught Math 101 classes won't eliminate tight budget constraints, SenEx member says

Self-taught classes are not the solution to tight budget constraints and heavy class loads, a University Senate Executive Committee member said yesterday in reaction to a plan that next will eliminate daily classes in Math 101.
elling them to go learn how to write."
Knaoper said.
Arno Knapper, SenEx member and professor of business, said that offering Math 101 on a self-instruction basis was an important substitute for a classroom instructor.
"This is like a teaching students
English 101 and giving them a piece of
pencil to draw."
However, Charles Himmelberg, chairman of the mathematics department, said he was convinced that the program would be effective.
Himmelberg said that the department had fashioned changes in Math 022 and Math 101 after a program offering a two-week semester in Arizona State University for 10 years.
"That class needs considerable attention and consultation," he said.
PHILIP MONTGOMERY, associate professor of mathematics, said that Math 101 would follow the same format as Math 002, which has no formal classes or homework assignments. However, students must pass weekly tests, a mid-term and a final to complete the course.

Nobody has the right to force a drink down your throat.
"What! You're not drinking?" When somebody asks, "What are you going to drink?"" nowadays most people assume 'drink' means 'alcohol' and consider it a friendly gesture. Most of us enjoy a drink once in a while, but there are times when YOU don't want to drink, or YOU feel you've had enough. Some people will be NOT so friendly. Some people will become quite hostile if you don't join them. "Hey look, the last of the big drinkers!"
Put your foot (and your glass) down. It's not easy to resist pressure. But if we are going to tackle the drinker
problem in this country, we must all have the courage to refuse the drink that's being forced down our throats. Consider that 25,000 traffic accidents in Kansas each year are alcohol related. 68% of all drownings are alcohol related. Consider also that 775,755 Kansans are directly effected by alcohol-related problems. More than 773,757 Kansans are directly affected by the problem. But, all the statistics come down to one thing: the drink in your hand and your responsible attitude towards it. It's our social attitudes that help cause the problems it's by speaking out that you'll help change them.
Tell other people where you stand.
By having the courage of your convictions to speak out against behavior such as 'come on, just one more - you will encourage others to say the same thing. If you're not sure what to say, cut this out. The information may help you to state your case.
