(Continued from page 1) himself and the University had any effect on his decision.
"Ill answer that question by referring you to this part of my statement: 'The state of California is a compelling magnet . . . the University of California has the intense and active interest and support of Californians at all levels.'"
Dr. Murphy's statement last night lauded the accomplishments of Kansans in general and the state legislature in particular for "progress
KU Students Blame Docking for Move
Student reaction to Chancellor Murphy's resignation has ranged from dismay to disbelief. The striking point in the multitude of comments gathered from KU students is that the majority have almost automatically linked the resignation to the Chancellor's opposition from Governor George Docking. Their comments have not been flattering to the Governor, ranging from "Well, darn Docking," to "It seems Docking can push anybody too far."
achieved in spite of unreasonable and indeed unprecedented handicaps . . . often against great odds."
THE CHANCELLOR said that he would leave it up to the people of Kansas to decide what he meant by these phrases.

consult with various leading educators. The committee will explain the facilities and responsibilities involved in the position here to those people, and get their ideas for running the University.
"The committee then will screen all candidates and finally bring their choice before the Board of Regents where the final decision will be made."
Whitney Austin, Salina, said Chancellor Murphy's resignation was a tragedy and that he will be very difficult to replace.
C. V. Kincaid, of Independence,
said;
"I think very dearly of the chancellor, but it is a question of whether any of us are indispensable. I thought he was an outstanding educator even though we did not always agree."
Leon N. Roulier, Colby, said it is a "distinct loss" to KU to lose Chancellor Murphy.
Lives. Futures Involved
Clement Hall, of Coffeyville and past chairman of the Board of Regents, said he hoped the chancellor's resignation would not affect the educational status of the University.
"Too many students and many students' lives and futures are involved to let that happen. There is no reason why we cannot go on with Murphy's plan of education. He is a great man and has done much for the University."
George B. Collins, of Wichita, said Chancellor Murphy's resignation might have an effect on the election if it were in April, but not in September.
Russell B. Rust, of Topeka, said, "we will have to go on just as we always have."
Board of Regents members, Austin Kincaid, Rust and Collins, thought that Chancellor Murphy's resignation would have no effect on the educational status of KU.
last night on the chancellor's resignation:
"I know the school (UCLA) very well and I know Westwood Village where it is located very well. I hope for him a great deal of success and I'm glad to see these young fellows getting ahead and getting to be heads of these big schools."
Speculation was running high on the campus this morning as to who Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy's successor would be.
No Successor In View Yet
No prominent names have been mentioned and official procedure for appointing a successor has not started by the Board of Regents.
If tradition and precedent hold true, the next Chancellor of the University will be a young man, in his 30's, and with an extremely good chance of being an alumnus of the University.
The last three Chancellors have been in their 30's when they were appointed and the last two were alumni of KU. Another oddity is that the last two Chancellors, Dean Malott and Dr. Murphy, were both members of KU's chapter of Beta Theta Pi.
Presently Dean James R. Surface, of the School of Business and Economics, is the only man to fulfill all of the above qualifications.
Dr. Murphy was Dean of Medicine at the University, Mr. Malott was a member of the Harvard University faculty and E. H. Lindley was Chancellor of the University of Idaho before being appointed Chancellor of the University.

(Continued from page 1)
JOHN H. NELSON, dean of the Graduate School:
"It is difficult to discuss Dr. Murphy as a chancellor without using terms which he applied to others—imaginative, courageous, dedicated. His noteworthy contributions to the University were made possible through his possession of these qualities."
JAMES R. SURFACE, dean of the School of Business: "The resignation of Chancellor Murphy is certainly a great loss to the University. I can't tell what effect it will have on the University until his successor arrives."
J. ALLEN REESE, dean of the School of Pharmacy: "I think the educational standards of the University will continue on a high plane and will not decline."
"I can't tell at this stage what effect the Chancellor's resignation will have on the educational standards at the University. It all depends on who succeeds him."
L. C. WOODRUFF, dean of students;
DONALD ALDERSON, dean of men: "Students and colleagues will long remember and recognize the tremendous leadership and effort Dr. Murphy has exerted in his years as chancellor of the University."
NEW YORK — (UPI) - Police Department special order 63 was signed with the usual "Stephen P. Kennedy, police commissioner."
Special order 64, outlining police assignments for today's St. Patrick's Day Parade, was signed: "Stephen Patrick Kennedy."

Self-Rating May Be Valid Student Appraisal
DEAN KENNETH E. ANDERSON of the School of Education and Dean Tilghman H. Aley, on leave from El Dorado Junior College to do graduate study here, related National Merit Scholarship test scores in the humanities and sciences to the responses of 4,675 Kansas senior high school students. The comparison was made using four self rating questions. They were:
The process of self rating may become a new tool for predicting the degree of success a student will have in college.
Luck of the Irish Shines on 'Murph'
By Janet Juneau
Faith 'n' begorra. His Irish eyes are smiling, for he has exchanged Snowy Kansas for Sunny California.
Students are green (ahem) with envy. It's the Luck of the Irish for Chancellor Murphy on St. Patrick's Day.
To others green with envy, two songs are heard: "Who Threw the UCLA in Chancellor Murphy's chowder?" and "Chancy Lowered the Boom."
- How would you rate yourself in terms of intellectual curiosity?
- How would you rate yourself in terms of willingness to stand discomfort (a cold, illness, etc.) in completion of a school task?
- How would you rate your willingness to spend time beyond the ordinary schedule in completion of a school task?
- How would you rate yourself in terms of questioning the absolute truth of statements from textbooks, newspapers, magazines, or statements by persons in positions of authority such as teachers, lecturers or professors?
Students rated themselves on a 5-place scale varying from "considerably below average" to "considerably above average."
RESULTS SHOWED that students rating themselves as "considerably below" and "somewhat below" average had no significant differences on their national merit scores. Students rating themselves as average scored lower than those who rated themselves above average.
The positive relationship between self rating and test scores caused Deans Anderson and Aley to comment that "these items may correlate as well with grades, if not better, than the usual college entrance or placement tests."
