. proceed as a private citizen," Bogart said.
Minutes before Docking announced Bogart had agreed to resign, the Governor held a rare private meeting with Republican Attorney Gen. Kent Frizell in the attorney general's office.
"This is a difficult day for me," Docking said. "Mr. Bogart's resignation, unfortunately, is necessary. He must be free to defend himself and his family against legal and political allegations without fear of impending the operations of the Board of Regents, and damaging the respect for our system of higher education."
Richard Seaton, assistant attorney general, said that during the governor's meeting with the attorney general, Frizzell told Docking that he was not being charged with impropriety. Seaton refused to comment on the investigation.
The investigation became known Wednesday with the dismissal by the governor of Robert D. Ochs as assistant pardon and extradition attorney. Ochs was reportedly fired because he gave
a statement to the attorney general in the investigation.
Docking said he was appalled that his own attorney (Ochs) and staff members, as well as the attorney general, did not voluntarily disclose information to him relating to an alleged wrongdoing.
Bill to protect rare wildlife approved
"Individuality and flexibility are key words in the new curriculum," according to Dr. Wolf. "It is designed to make each student a responsible partner in planning his own education.
Change approved
WASHINGTON (UPI) — The Senate Commerce Committee approved legislation Thursday designed to protect endangered species of fish and wildlife, including such vanishing breeds as the alligator and the Texas tortoise.
The new curriculum would be divided into six-week units, of which a minimum of 24 are required for graduation. The basic science core in physiology, anatomy, biochemistry, pathology, pharmacology and medical microbiology are included in the first eight units. Part of the basic core will be "Introduction to the Patient," which includes training in physical diagnosis.

Sixteen six-week units will make up the second stage. This will include a number of core clinical clerkships, the students choice of science electives and opportunities of experience in community medicine. "Clinical"

The University of Kansas School of Medicine and most others heretofore have taught basic science courses during the first two years of study and clinical subjects, with exposure to patients during the last two years.
Greater flexibility of the new curriculum, explained Dr. Wolf, allows each student to complete the curriculum at his own speed (up to seven years maximum), with time out if required to improve his financial situation, or to pursue other educational activities of special interest to him.
The bill prohibits importation of endangered species, asks other nations to adopt such bans, and instructs the State Department to set up an international convention on such importations.
Ochs said he was under legal obligation as an attorney to cooperate with the attorney general.
paid by public funds and am the people's lawyer."
subjects in medical teaching include internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, obstetrics and other medical specialties.
Sen. Philip A. Hart, D-Mich., explained that bans on imports and interstates sales, also in the bill, would "dry up the market for endangered species, thus reducing the incentive for poaching."
The bill covers 250 species of mammals and 300 species of birds now listed as rare and endangered.
"He asked me to give testimony." Ochs said Thursday night. "I had a legal obligation to cooperate even though I knew my job was in jeopardy."
The elective system incorporated into the second stage will allow a wide range of courses, both clinical and basic sciences, and permit each student to organize for himself the equivalent of a college "major." A strong faculty advisor system is being developed as an integral part of the elective program.
CHEYENNE, Wyo. (UPI)—The Wyoming Civil Defense Agency is charged with dealing with any disaster, natural or nuclear.
The emergency plans of every state department and agency must be prepared and coordinated. Assistance and advice must be given local organizations to help them prepare local emergency plans, including warning communications, shelter and proper use of all available resources.
READY FOR ANYTHING
Ochs objected to Docking's statement that he had been used as a political pawn and he had not kept him appraised of the progress of the investigation.
Ochs said Docking was fully appraised of the investigation. He said he would be vindicated of this charge in Bogart's trial.
"I vehemently protest that statement," Ochs declared. "I was perfectly aware of the consequences of my actions.
