Student Writes Docking a Letter
Resentment of Governor Docking's comments which were directed toward KU and KU students in general has led one student to express his disappointment in an open letter to the governor. The letter, from Richard Garnett, Prairie Village sophomore, is printed in part below:
Last September, in his address opening the 1958-59 academic year. Chancellor Murphy sounded a ringing call to arms to meet the sobering threat posed by the mercurial success of the educational system in the Soviet Union...
The effect of such a ringing challenge was electric. There has been, in recent months, an atmosphere of grim determination on this campus that would have astounded a visitor from a past era. . .
You will probably not remember me, since we met only briefly, more than a year ago, at the home of Dr. Franklin Murphy. It was on the basis of this visit with Dr. Murphy and with you that my decision to enroll at the University was confirmed...

I mean to take issue here with the principal theme of your allegations, which quite evidently is the fancied failure of the school to teach its students "ethical concepts"...

Upon reflection it seems to me that any person or group of persons who place the good of the community above their own private gain are acting in an "ethical" manner...

Anyone who works for a salary substantially lower than that which an indifferently-competent brick-layer today commands ... is certainly placing the good of the community above his own private gain.
It follows, therefore, that anyone who acts in such a manner is teaching "ethical concepts," by his own example, to those who look to him for instruction...
It occurs to me that the preceding sentence would serve as an excellent description of the KU faculty.
I am entirely convinced that the vast majority of KU students have
an unblemished record (as far as ethical conduct goes). If I were not convinced of this, I would have transferred, long before now, to another university...
The University merits only the most heartfelt encouragement and praise—not to mention financial assistance—for the magnificent job it has been doing in holding the line against Russia. And, quite naturally, it has looked to Topeka as the rightful source of these things.
HIDESHEIM, Germany — (UPI)— Officers and men of the British First Royal Horse Artillery Regiment here were up in arms today over their "100-year-old" cannon.
But from you, Governor Docking, these things have not been forthcoming. We at Kansas prayerfully hope that you will, in the light of the current world crisis and from the standpoint of the greater good of the state and nation, reconsider your unwarranted attack upon us.
Someone discovered an inscription on it, saying: "Made in Essen, Germany, 1956."

Docking Declines KUOK Interview
Gov. George Docking's press relations manager refused to grant campus radio station KUOK an interview with the governor.
Bob Lynn, Gainesville, Tex. sophomore and assistant station manager, said KUOK officials requested a taped interview with the governor in a letter earlier this week.
"The public relations manager telephoned yesterday and said Gov. Docking 'would not be available for comment,'" Lynn said.
Tire, Wheel Theft Reported Yesterday

Janet Opdyke, Netherlands sophomore, who works at Corbin Hall, reported the missing wheel to the Sellards house manager, Mrs. Merl Nichols, who in turn reported to the campus police.
M. D. Clubb, English Department, says, "Kansan ads sure are cheap. I got back my slide-projector the same afternoon I advertised that it was lost. They sure are efficient."
