Thinks case closed
Docking says Shultz wrong
TOPEKA (UPI)—Gov. Robert B. Docking said Monday he doesn't know what purpose would be served by releasing the names of 21 disciplined University of Kansas students.
The governor commented on actions of state Sen. Reynolds Shultz' Federal and State Affairs Committee which is probing the disruption of the Chancellor's ROTC review at the University last May 9.
The Lawrence Republican is chairman of the Senate committee which used subpoena power to force William Balfour, dean of students to release the names of 21 students disciplined for involvement in the incident.
University officials had promised the students private hearings and that their names would remain confidential. Other students involved had requested public hearings.
Docking was asked if he felt
the names should be released to the public.
"I don't see what purpose would be served at this time," he said. "They have not gone without reprimand. I really don't understand his (Shultz') purpose."
Docking said he would not dictate how Democratic members of the committee should vote Oct. 14 when the group meets to consider the release of the names. Shultz wants to make the names public.
The governor said he thought the incident was a closed case.
"I still have great confidence in the KU chancellor and the other college presidents. Of course, the legislature is responsible for finances, but I don't believe they should be involved in the day to day operations," Docking said.
TOPEKA (UPI)—One of the youngest members of the Kansas Legislature charged Monday night that Shultz' committee's recent use of the subpoena power may be inciting rather than preventing student disorder.

Rep. David J. Heinemann, R-Garden City, made the statement in a speech prepared for the State Board of Directors meeting of the Kansas Federation of Women's Clubs.
Police said the gang used knives, tire irons and chains. The Fairbury group apparently did nothing to provoke the assault, he said.
Heinemann said, "Ironically, by the use of the subpoena, the senate committee may now be inciting the very thing it is trying to prevent—student disorder. Radical elements will find it much easier to enlist students to their cause."
The group was going home after a football game in which the Fairbury team defeated Haskell Institute at Lawrence, 31-0.
The young lawmaker said the KU campus had settled down until the senate committee stirred it up. He said for a few days after the committee's controversial action there was a threat of student strike.

Gang is charged in Topeka beating
The assault occurred about midnight Friday at a north Topeka restaurant. The football players, coaches, and cheerleaders were leaving the restaurant when the assault took place.
TOPEKA (UPI) — Shawnee County Attorney Gene Olander Monday filed charges against 14 persons in connection with a gang-assault on a group of Fairbury, Neb., junior college football players and fans.
The charges, ranging from felonious assault to lesser offenses, were filed in Magistrate Court against 11 adults and three juveniles. One of the juveniles and two of the adults were women.
Olander said three arrests had been made so far, and the remainder would be made as quickly as possible. He did not release the names of the adults who had not been arrested.
The county attorney said he was going to ask that one of three juveniles charged in the case be certified as an adult for trial on two counts of assault with intent to kill.
