Press Aide Explains Docking Position on KU
Patrick Burnau, press secretary to Gov. Robert Docking, said Tuesday that Governor Docking had been involved in the affairs of the University of Kansas many times, but it had not been in an

... duty to protect
administrative or policy-making position, only in the University community.
"The governor has never interfered with the policy or administrative actions of the Board of Regents," Burnau said. "The regents hold the sole constitutional authority over the control of the University."
Balfour Analyzes Racial Occurrence
William Balfour, vice-cancellor for student affairs, Tuesday described the University's role in investigating reported racial incidents on Daisy Hill in the last five days.
"The less said about the incidents, the better, as far as I'm concerned," Balfour said. "That's why I am hesitant to say anything at all."
"Anything that has happened within the last four or five days had nothing to do with Ellsworth Hall or the residents therein. Nobody involved in the incidents outside the hall lives in Ellsworth."
Balfour also emphasized that not all of the incidents were at Ellsworth Hall.
Burnau said Docking would do anything necessary to protect the students and the surrounding community from any acts of violence.
"The governor means that, and he has done just that so far," Burnau said. "The governor wants to make it clear that this protection does not mean a repression of students or of academic life.
Burnau said that students who were unhappy because a curfew was imposed and that highway patrolmen had to be stationed at the edge of the city this spring did not fully understand the situation.
Shortage of Funds Cited as Reason For Lack of Help
"A shortage of funds is the cause of the shortage of personnel in the Dean of Foreign Students office at the University of Kansas," Cliff Conrad, assistant dean of foreign students, said today.
According to the National Association of Foreign Students, a university should have one foreign student adviser for each 200 students. The University of Kansas has approximately 750 foreign students and only one dean and a part-time assistant dean.
"There is a clear need at certain times during the year for more personnel to deal more adequately with the foreign student population," Conrad stated.
"The early fall housing difficulties, as well as the entire adjustment to a new country necessitates more personnel to provide the needed services for the students," he said.
"Even though there is a definite shortage," Conrad said, "KU has one of the best, most comprehensive foreign student programs in the country."
The Rifle Club at the University of Kansas, which had its budget eliminated by the Student Senate and then later received $900 in action by the Board of Regents is still cut down from last year's budget, its adviser, Captain Grant Vernon, said Tuesday.
Vernon, an Army ROTC instructor, said the $900 that was allocated by the Board of Regents for the club represented a $600 cut in its normal operating budget.
"Last year our budget was $1,500 and this was used mainly for financing the competition teams," Vernon said.
The club has tried to improvise its own equipment, he said. Since this means using a lot of the ROTC equipment, he felt that the Student Senate got the impression that the club was a military organization.
“This club is not a part of this department,” Vernon said. “Out of the 40 members that belong, we have 4 who are in ROTC.”
Vernon said the recent controversy had not cut down the club's membership.
"There are no restrictions on membership if the fee of $4 is paid," he said.
"I think that our club is in the same league as the other minor sports, such as soccer and fencing, which are also funded through student fees. Dollar for dollar, the individual student gets much more for his participation in these minor sports than in many other things funded through the University." he said

"The student should be able to get out of the dormitory once in a while and enjoy himself in some way, and the minor sports are excellent for this," he said.
