Docking Forgets Schools, Says Reed
Clyde Reed Jr., candidate for the Republican nomination for governor, told a group of KU students Wednesday night that "we are going nowhere fast under a Democratic administration."
Mr. Reed charged that the Docking administration's attitude toward schools is "full of tragic libels against the dedicated men and women devoting their lives to your education and to the education of all young people."
Intent Question
"It is a minority of one in holding such an attitude toward teachers," he added.
He said the Docking administration is on record as saying that "teachers are underworked and overpaid."
"The entire record of the Docking administration toward schools is such as to raise serious questions as to its ultimate intent about the future of our educational structure," he said.
Mr. Reed then pledged his "ful and untiring support" to the educational system of Kansas.
The solution to the educational problems of Kansas will not be easy, Mr. Reed emphasized. He warned that citizens could "look forward to nothing but increased outlays for schools."
He commented that the Docking Administration's record on school "leaves everything to be desired."
'Party Of Reaction'
"Instead of support for education there has been only sniping at schools and teachers. Instead of encouragement for educational goals there has been only ill-concealed contempt for the whole important business of education," Mr. Reech charged.
He asserted that the Democratic party in Kansas is "the party of reaction."
"It seldom has been for anything but rather against everything," Mr Reed said.
The people of Kansas cannot, he said, afford a 1910 government in the atomic age. He added that great opportunity lies ahead for Kansas.
"It is not opportunity which will come knocking on our door. We must go out ourselves and tell and sell the story of Kansas to the nation." Reed added.
In closing, Mr. Reed said, "Kansas cannot long afford the lack of leadership and vision which is now so apparent in a Democratic administration."
Mr. Reed's talk was sponsored by the University of Kansas Reed for Governor Club. ___
John Burns Still Missing
Campus police chief Joe Skillman reported today there has been nothing new in the case of John P. Burns, Olathe freshman, who was reported missing April 1 after he failed to keep an appointment with his father.
Chief Skillman said the FBI has distributed circulars to law enforcement agencies in all the larger cities throughout the nation but this has not brought any results.
"This case is a lot different from one in which a crime has been committed," Chief Skillman said. "In a criminal case you can go after the person—you have something to work on. In a case like this the only thing we can do is hope someone recognizes him from the posters and turns him in or else that he decides to come home."
Mrs. George Burns, the student's mother, said in a telephone conversation that their only hope now was that he would "get in touch with some of the family."
Chief Skillman said he thought there was a good chance the boy had a job before he left or at least found one soon after leaving KU. He said there had been no other checks cashed after the three he cashed for $58 just before his disappearance.
Small Car Not So Easy To 'Unpark'
A modern Sir Gallahad came to the rescue of a lady in distress to save her from being imprisoned by a coin-eating mechanical dragon.
The lady, a KU student, drove her small foreign car into the toll-gate parking lot east of the Kansas Union.
When she was ready to leave she found that the car was too light to operate the treadle mechanism which opens the gate for exits.
An unidentified male student got into the car to try to add the necessary weight to lift the gate. The gate didn't budge.
Finally, the hero, Kevin Remick, concessions manager at the Union, was called to the scene and solved the problem by inserting his pass card in the proper slot to raise the gate.
Moral: If the car doesn't fit, don't drive it.

DOUTHART HALL group in Inter-Residence sing. (Daily Kansan photo)
Pearson, Battenfeld Win Sing
Women in spring dresses and white gloves and men in dark suits against the simple background of Swarthout Recital Hall in the Music and Dramatic Arts Building, lent a fresh atmosphere to the InterResidence Assn's second annual Spring Sing Wednesday night. It was heard by an audience of approximately 300.
Ten groups took part in the contest itself, and two groups provided special entertainment during the judging.
Trophies were awarded for the top men's and women's groups in each of two divisions. In the division of small ensembles, which could have as many as 10 persons, ensembles from Pearson Hall and Miller Hall won first place trophies. The Pearson Hall group sang "Two Guitars" by Palmer Clark and the Miller Hall group "Softly as in a Morning Sunrise," by Sigmund Romberg.
The large ensembles division was won by Battenfeld Hall, which sang "Now Let Every Tongue Adore Thee" by J. S. Bach, and Watkins Hall, which sang "Inchworm" by Frank Loesser. Watkins also won first place last year.
Women's halls which participated were Douthart, Gertrude Sellards Pearson three and four, Miller, Sellands, and Watkins.
Men's halls which participated
were Battenfeld, Jolliffe, Pearson and Stephenson.
As special entertainment during judging, GSP freshmen sang "Zing Zing-Zoom Zoom" by Sigmund Romberg, and a Jolifte and Miller halls combined ensemble sang "Jada" by Bob Carlton and "I Love to Whistle" by Adamson and McHugh. Marilyn Bell, McPherson sopho-
Marilyn Bell, McPherson sophomore was chairman of the sing.
Judges for the Spring Sing were Elizabeth Townsley, assistant professor of voice; Wayne Nelson, supervisor of music in the Lawrence schools, and Edwin L. Foot Jr., Washington, D. C. graduate student and choir director of the First Presbyterian Church in Lawrence.
1911 Car Will Be Theatre Prop
The antique, a dark blue touring car with white spoked wheels, will be transported to Lawrence from the Kansas City, Mo. regional chapter of the Horseless Carriage Club. It is the property of the club president. E. A. Sloan.
The auto will be trucked from downtown to the theatre loading dock by buildings and grounds, Mr. Godfrey said.
A 1911,4-cylinder Buick will be used as a prop in the University players' presentation of "Man and Superman" next week.
"The entire second set is built around the car," said Virgil Godfrey, assistant professor of speech and drama, who explained that the main action of the scene is based on a proposed auto trip in the car. It will appear with the top down.
It will be returned to Kansas City on May 4.
Since cars that old have to be cranked and tend to be "temperamental," he said, it has not been decided whether John Schick, Kansas City, Kan. junior, who plays the chauffeur, will actually drive the car.
Mortar Board Holds Parties
Freshman women who made the fall honor roll will be honored by Mortar Board in a series of three parties tonight. The parties, starting at 7:30, are to be held in Douthart Hall.
Man And Superman Runs April 30-May 3
The University Theatre will present George B. Shaw's "Man and Superman" at 8 p.m. April 30 through May 3 in the Music and Dramatic Arts Building.
The play, considered to be one of Shaw's greatest, will be in three acts. It will depict the "universal chase" where man remains merely man, but woman is superman, said Gordon Beck, instructor in speech.
"It was written by Shaw on his honeymoon," Mr. Beck said, explaining the unusual circumstances of Shaw's marriage in 1903.
The playwright, a confirmed bachelor of 47 at the time, had a foot infection. The lady who came to nurse Shaw decided he needed better care than he had been receiving, so they were married the same afternoon. Shaw, still recuperating from the infection, spent his honeymoon writing.
The male lead in "Man and Superman" is John Tanner, who will be played by Louis Lyda, Lawrence senior. Ann Whitefield, the "superman," will be played by Joyce Malicky, Baldwin freshman. There are 12 supporting actors.
Originally a long, four act play, it has been divided into two separate presentations. The second part, a dream scene called "Don Juan in Hell," will be presented here, beginning May 5.
ID cards will admit students, but they must be exchanged for reserved seat tickets at the Kansas Union ticket office.
