KU Student Object Of National Search
The parents of Frederic Craig Harvey, 18, have heard no word from their son who has been missing for 10 days, in spite of a nation-wide search by the missing persons bureau.
In an emotion-choked voice, Harvey's mother told a story today of deep concern for her missing son.
SEP Selling Fast Locally
This week's Saturday Evening Post, which carries a story on Gov George Docking, is selling exceptionally fast. Lawrence merchants reported this morning.
"The Governor Leaves Them Gasping" includes considerable speculation on the future of the Kansas governor.
A drug store told the Daily Kansan it had sold eight copies in 45 minutes.
Another drug store said it had received twice as many copies of the Post as usual. At 10 a.m., the store had only two copies left.
The article discusses Gov. George Docking's feud with the University of Kansas and quoted him as saying this about Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy:
"I don't like the way he runs the school. I think he is terrificly expensive. He's more interested in building an art center than in building an educational institution."
Peter Wyden, the author, was formerly a reporter for the Wichita Eagle. He characterized Docking as "a hot-tempered but competent administrator, honest, drastically—almost violently—independent and, above all, tight with the tax dollar."

The article added that Docking got into politics because he had been "unhappy and frustrated most of his life" as a banker in Lawrence.

"He was supposed to be home last weekend. He probably thought he wouldn't be missed during the first week. He probably thinks he's just now being missed," she said.
"We do have faith. He was a deeply religious boy. Maybe he just had to get away and think about things.
She tried to tell the Kansan reporter of her and her husband's feelings about their boy Craig.
Mrs. Harvey said that she had given Craig's roommate a message to relay to her son if he should happen to see him.
"Craig's a very sensitive boy. He's very quiet. He's been such a conscientious boy. All of these things we think about," she whispered.
"Craig might think that we would write him to send money or checks. They might watch his mail," she said.
"We told Craig's roommate to tell him that what makes him happy makes us happy. We love him and we want what he wants."
Mrs. Harvey said she hoped that KU officials are watching her son's mail.
Mrs. Harvey tried to figure out why her son should disappear.
Maybe he really thought he should study for the ministry. Maybe he thought he wouldn't make it (in school) and his failure would be a humiliation to us." she said.
"We don't know anything about his troubles. He isn't like a lot of boys. He never led a wild life. He never did anything wrong. He was president of his Sunday school class, and wasn't interested in any of the social aspects.
Police Investigate Fraternity Prank
If Frederic Craig Harvey is wondering whether his parents are worrying, he can rest assured they are.
ROCHHESTER, Ind.—(UPI)—Roger W. Phelps, 18, a Butler University sophomore, was held in Fulton county jail today while authorities investigated his story that he was dumped on a cold, wind-swept island in Lake Manitou by a group of Phi Delta Theta fraternity pledges.
Phelps was rescued last night from Honeymoon Island by Sheriff Willard L. Clark and two Indiana State Police troopers, who were called to the scene on reports that somebody on the island was calling for help.
The officers went out in a boat and found Phelps huddled up by a fire which he had built with scrap wood. He told them he was abandoned on the island about two hours earlier by Phi Delta Theta pledges from the Indianapolis school.
The officers hauled Phelps off to jail pending an investigation.
A fraternity brother said at the Indianapolis chapter house that the prank was "supposed to be humorous."
Docking Plans 'Tight Budget'
Gov. George Docking told the director of the department of administration today to "prepare an unusually tight budget" for fiscal 1961.
"I have instructed William C. Salome . . . to prepare an unusually tight budget with the definite idea in mind of reducing taxes to be paid by the people of Kansas." Docking said.
United Press International reported today that the budget hearings will start next week and should last about three weeks.
KU has not been told when University officials will meet with the budget committee, Raymond Nichols, executive secretary of the University, said today.
"In past years we have always met with the committee in early December." he said.
"Unofficial information we have received this year indicated that the hearings would be at about the same time," he said.
Will Confer With Democrats
Docking asked Salome to finish the budget hearings as early as possible "so I can have a smoke-filled room conference with the Democratic legislators."
He said he would call the 64 legislators to the executive mansion to discuss Mr. Salome's findings and recommendations with them, an to get their own ideas on the budget he will take to the budget session of the legislature in January.
"Following the budget hearings I shall review the recommendations of Mr. Salome for the possibility of reducing expenses even more than will be suggested by him." Docking said.
"We have no intention of reducing the necessary services furnished by the state for its citizens but we do not intend to permit waste in the operation of the various departments.
"The availability of money received from unnecessary taxes levied in previous years gives no excuse for seeking new programs to spend it."
Figueres Arrives For Look at KU
Jose Figueres, former Costa Rican president, began a 10-day visit to the University today.
The Central American statesman, who is a lawyer and rancher, is making an unofficial visit but will be getting a good look at the institution which this winter will start a unique student and faculty exchange program with the University of Costa Rica. The Carnegie Corporation of New York has made a grant for the program.
Dr. Carlos Caamano, vice dean of the College of Letters and Sciences of the University of Costa Rica, will follow Mr. Figueres, arriving here November 7 for a week's stay. He will be concerned with details of the educational exchange.
Mr. Figueres has been in the United States to attend the American Assembly held at Columbia University in New York. He is coming to KU to return a visit Chancellor and Mrs. Franklin D. Murphy made last summer to his ranch when the Murphys were touring Latin American institutions of higher education
Mr. Figueres will get an early introduction to the extra-curricular program of American university
when he attends the Iowa State-Kansas football game Saturday and the Student Union Activities Carnival that evening. He will visit classes and meet with student and faculty groups during his stay.
Because of his interest in farming and ranching, Mr. Figueres will spend some time at Kansas State University before his departure November 5.
