Demos Will Have to Work Harder in Local Campaigns headquarters will conduct drive, recruit volunteers
Docking Criticizes Kay's Campaign At Opening of Local Demo Offices
By JERRY ESSLINGER Kansan Staff Writer
Gov. Robert Docking said Thursday that the man who was trying to unseat him, Republican Morris Kay, had failed to speak out directly on issues that were of concern to Kansas voters. He also accused him of赚钱 more money in his primary election campaign that "any candidate in the history of Kansas primaries."
Docking, who is seeking an unprecedented fourth term as Kansas governor, came to Lawrence Thursday morning for the grand opening of the new state capitol headquarters, located in the Charlton Building at Seventh and New Hampshire.
Before inspecting his party's new local offices, Docking spoke briefly to about 60 persons who had gathered outside the building for his arrival. In the group that was present, some of the local Democratic candidates who were campaigning for local or state offices.
NOTING that he and his party in recent years had had "some problems with the state legislature," Docking told those assembled that it would be "great to have some Democratic representatives from Lawrence."
Referring more to his own re-election campaign, he said that he and other Democrats would "all have to work a bit harder" in their campaigns locally "because the Republican nominee lives here in Lawrence."
Later, Docking told reporters that the outcome of this year's gubernatorial race
would depend on whether voters responded to "a campaign based entirely on money and vague generalities or to one based on a record of political responsibility".
DOCKING CRITICIZED Kay for not speaking on "out the basic issues," adding that his opponent was, at that time, visiting President Nixon in Washington.
"We know who voted to override my veto of legislators' pensions and we know who went around the state with Lt. Gov. Reynolds Shultz to justify their cuts of the higher education budget and welfare system in 1971" he said.
Docking reiterated previous statements that he would neither actively support nor oppose the campaign of his party's presidential nominee, George McGovern. He referred to leave the discussion of national issues to candidates of national offices.
"COMPLETELY unrelated personalities and campaign issues often characterize national and state elections held during the same year," he said.
To back up his position, the governor said he always had advocated a government reorganization in the form of a "short ballot" so that state officers would be elected in years other than those in which national elections were held.
Asked about the resignation of former Chancellor E. Laurence Chalmers Jr., Docking said he had a "high regard for him" and that he considered it a "closed matter."
"I think most students felt as I did . . .
that it was entirely a personal matter. We
must all abide by the personal decisions of
others."
Docking said that he was aware that Chalmers "probably was quite popular
MIKE MANNING, Democratic candidate for secretary of state, said recent disclosures of suspensions of his driver's license have also affected his campaign or his support.
He said the issue "wantn't very germane" to his campaign because of the type of food he was eating.
"If I had been applying for a position with the Kansas Highway Patrol, it might have been easier to get there."
"if anything," he said, "it 'put more life on first active campaign for secretary of state."
Until the Nov. 4 elections, the Douglas County Democratic headquarters will be conducting a voter registration drive, recruiting volunteers and conducting a door-to-door canvass for McGovern and local candidates, according to Howard Klink, Wilmette, Ill., sophomore, and Lynn Knox, St. Louis sophomore.
KNOX AND Klink, who are staff organizers for Douglas County and the surrounding area, said a table would be available in the Kansas Union next week at which students would be recruited to work as volunteers for the McGovney campaign.
According to Klink, the voter registration drive will begin Oct. 21 as part of a nationwide effort to register new voters for McGovern.
Israel Builds Forces On Tense Borders
Bv the Associated Press
Israeli troops entered Lebanon 'Tuesday in search of marauders after clashes in which two Arabs and an Israeli were killed.
A military spokesman said all troops returned safely about eight hours later. He did not say whether there had been any fighting in Lebanon.
The Palestinian news agency Wafa reported in Beirut that Israel was massing troops and tanks along the borders of Jordan and Syria in an "unprecedented building."
The Israeli patrol struck across the
Israelite trench two clashes near the
lateral embankment.
In the first incident, on Wednesday, an Arab and an Israeli soldier were killed, the
A PATROL searching the area Thursday killed a second guerrilla, then crossed the border in pursuit of other raiders, chasing them to the Lebanese village of Yaroun, he said.
The spokesman did not mention the massacre in Munich, for which Israeli newspaper editorials have urged swift retaliation.
The Palestinianinian agent reported several Israeli tank columns took up positions near Lebanon and Syria while helicopters landed troops throughout the day.
The agency's correspondent in south Lebanon said, "The unprecedented size and strength of the buildup leaves little doubt that Israel plans to launch a large-scale attack on Lebanon and Syria to knock on the Israeli sportsmen in Munich."
IN JERUASALEM the bodies of the 10

home.
"Jews, demonstrate. Do something, or they'll kill us all, one by one." cried the brother of slain weightlifter Yosef Golan, clutching at the dead man's coffin.
"Vengeance," screamed a poster clutched by an Israel schoolboy at Lod airport, where the bodies were brought in an Israeli airliner along with the sport-smen who survived the Palestinian kidnain attack at the Munich Olympics.
Hundreds of relatives clustered around the coffins, which were mounted on army wagons. The relatives wept, screamed, shook their fists, fainted.

Telephone Classes Link Kansas

An experimental educational program began three years ago at Kansas State teachers College at Pittsburg may have provided the higher education in Kansas in the future.
Courses taken at any of the six Regent schools, the University of Kansas, Kansas State Teachers College, Wichita State University, Fort Hays State College, Kansas State College or Kansas State University at the request of the student and without administrative approval.
Possible effects would permit.
—An adult without a high school education to take college courses not applicable toward a degree.
—As few as three students in Chanute, Emporia, Dodge City, El Dorado, Goodland, Garden City, Hutchinson, Independence, Paola, Salina, Shawnee Mission, Stockton, Topeka, Wellington or Sabethea to take courses through an electronic network. The courses would be applicable toward a B.S. or B.A. at any of the six Regent schools.
SOME DEGREE of consolidation among the Regent schools could be achieved.
The proposals evolved from an experimental program developed in Kansas
The network, or net, is an amplified telephone hookup over which classes are conducted. As many as 23 stations can receive and transmit signals.
The original net, small in comparison with the current $100,000-a-year system, used a WATS line to bring educational programs to various Kansas communities. It originally provided instructions for hospital workers, community services, police training and information concerning federally subsidized housing programs, Diekhoff said.
Dieckhoe, who was in Manhattan, demonstrated the capabilities of the net by answering the questions of reporters over the network throughout the state.
State University three years ago, Kenneth Dieckhoff, coordinator of the statewide continuing educational network, said Thursday at a demonstration.
The network allows simultaneous conversations between groups of people clustered at each station. In addition, a special device in Manhattan enables
THE NET could result in greater cooperation between the six Regent Schools, but at this time there is no plan to consolidate the various state universities and colleges.
When asked whether the net could bring about a universal credit system, Dieckhoff said, "Yes. I would say that this definitely points in that direction. I would certainly say that one of our goals eventually is that students will be able to transfer from school to school without any accreditation problem. I would definitely say that this is one of the things in the future.
groups to speak with anyone in any city in the United States or Canada.
"I DO NOT set myself up as someone who expresses the will of the Regents, but yes, I would say that what it shows is that . . . an effort is being made on behalf of the Board of Regents as a whole to unify and bring it (Kansas education) together. Each school provides something in those areas in which it is best and makes it available to the state at the least possible cost.
One of the chief factors that made the network possible, Dieckhoff said, was the desire that the schools work together to provide the best education at the least possible cost.
DIECKHOFF said the network was a very good "delivery system" for the cost. The net, he said, would offer courses to classes with as few as three students.
Tests indicate that classes delivered
over the network compare "very, very favorably" to classroom instruction.
The Kansas net is the largest and the only continuous net that offers credit and non-credit courses in all conceivable areas. Dieckhoff said.
There is a limited net at the University of Missouri Medical School and one at the University of Illinois.
NET COURSES cost $15 a credit hour for undergraduates and $22 a credit hour for graduates. There are additional fees for books and handouts which are ordered at the first class meeting.
Last semester six credit courses were offered at K-State, and 498 students attended. Diekhoff said.
Kansas' relatively small population prohibits the extensive use of educational television.
It is not known now what fees a regular student at KU would pay for a net course. Diechko said such a decision would be "a political one."
A catalog describing net courses to be offered this semester is available at the KU Division of Continuing Education. Some classes begin as early as Sept. 16. The course titles offered range from "Christian Ethics" to "Your Federal Income Tax."
of another terrorist attack, that time at Lod Airport itself.
"GOD FUL of mercy, who dwells upon high, find a good resting place for . . . " chanted a military cantor, then reciting the names of the 10 dead men.
An 11th, David Berger of Cleveland, Ohio, was flown to the United States for burial. He had immigrated to Israel 18 months ago and was a weightlifter.
Allon, taking Mrs. Meir's place at the
memorial ceremony, repeated Israel's warning that neighboring Arab states "who assist the terrorists . . . will be held responsible."

The nation is in the second day of a week long national mourning period.
After the ceremony, the command cars drove slowly away from the airport, followed by hundreds of cars, and headed different cemeteries throughout the country.
German Jews Warned Of Terrorist Bombings
BONN (AP)—West German Jews were warned Thursday that terrorists may try to kill them this weekend with bomb disguises disguised as Jewish new year's gifts.
At the same time, police tightened security after a reported threat of fresh violence by Arab guerrillas unless West Germany releases the three Arabs who guarded Tuesday's massacre that left 11 Israelis, 3 Arabs and 1 German policeman dead.
And Egypt threatened "decisive action" against West Germany after Benn accused Cairo officials of being partly responsible for the deaths in Munich.
A GERMAN Interior Ministry spokesman did not identify the terrorists. He said the packages may be sent from persons in Iran to persons in persons pretending to be business people.
Chancellor Willy Brandt's government told the 32,000 Jews in this country that it received a tipoff from an undisclosed foreign source that they may be the targets of mailed bombs this weekend during Rosh Hashanah.
In Munich, Police Chief Manfred Schreiber said at a news conference that the hostages had been "doomed men" regardless of German actions.
"Our only hope to save them was if the Arabs made a mistake," he said.
Schreiber said the Israeli government repeatedly had refused to yield to terrorist demands that 200 Arabs held in Israel be freed in exchange for the hostages.
He added that Tel Avi expressed full confidence in the measures of the German
police and only recommended that you to stall for the maximum amount of time,
THE GAMES went on disconsecutively, the five-rung Olympic flag at half staff. Munichers watched in dazed near-silence, their hopes shattered of staging the "Getmuthich"—friendly, happy, carefree-Olympics.
In Jerusalem, 10 of the slain Israeli returned home in coffins draped in Star of David insignias and thousands of other Israelis jammed Lod airport for a memorial service. The 11th victim, David Berger, was killed at home in Cleveland for burial Friday.
The Black September Palestine command group threatened in a radio broadcast to "deal Germany a heavy blow" if the three terrorists being held for their part in the massacre are not released.
THE GROUP, named for the September in 1970 when King Hussein crushed the guerrilla movement in Jordan, claimed that the army carried out the attack on the Israeli team.
Commenting on reports of new threats by Arab guerrillas, chief government spokesman Conrad Ahlers said "all security precautions had been taken."
POLICE have guarded the Israeli Embassy in Bonn since the massacre of 26 people at Lod airport in Israel earlier this year.
The Egyptian government said in Cairo that it had nothing to do with the shooting and that West Germany must bear full responsibility.
