Disagreements 'Not Personal'
Gov. Docking Says—
Gov. George Docking said today his reported differences with Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy were not personal, but more like a "battle between the salesman and the auditor."
The hospital will remain open during final examination and enrollment weeks at the regular hours.
According to fire authorities, the fire began while James Mangan, the tenant, was painting the apartment floor. The paint was ignited by a gas flame stove in the living room.
The governor volunteered his remarks to newsmen in Topeka this morning.
'Disagree on Methods of Operation'
The governor said he wouldn't fire the chancellor even if he could.
About 600 free doses of polio vaccine were made available to students and their wives and children on Monday.
Chancellor Murphy was in Topeka when The Daily Kansan went to press and he was not available for comment.
"Dr. Murphy and I have had no personal disagreements, but have disagreed on issues and methods of operations," Gov. Docking said. "It's really a battle between the salesman and the auditor."
A total of 155 persons have taken free polio shots since Monday, Watkins Hospital reported Thursday.
"Those who think it a personal matter just aren't civilized enough to realize that people can differ on issues and still not be emotionally involved." Gov. Docking said.
Murphy's Ideas 'Cost Taxpayer'
The governor said Dr. Murphy "really has some good qualities, but some of his ideas cost the taxpayers."
He pointed out that the chancellor is appointed by the Board of Regents, not the governor. Only three of the nine regents are Gov. Docking's appointees.
The discussion came on the heels of a Senate committee action Thursday which increased Gov. Docking's budget for the Board for Regents.
The Senate Ways and Means Committee added $498,470 to the executive budget, over and above what the governor had recommended to go to the state's five colleges.

Mangan was not injured although he was directly in front of the stove. The Lawrence Fire Department arrived before serious damage to the 6-apartment building had resulted.
For Easy Enrolling Read Directions
To get through the enrolling process quickly and smoothly, just read carefully the directions for enrolling found in the schedule of classes. James K. Hitt, registrar, advised students today.
Mangan had just arrived in Lawrence from Salina. His wife and children were waiting in Newark, Tex., until he had moved the furniture in and painted the apartment.
155 Persons Get Free Polio Shots
"Most of the mixups caused in enrolling occur because the students don't know what they are doing, and they can find out what to do merely by reading the instructions," he said.
Mangan, who was moving into the apartment before entering the University for the spring semester, estimated his personal loss at $2,000. He said he had ample fire insurance. Most of the damage was to living room furniture, a rug, kitchen table and chairs and some clothing. Nearly every household article was covered with smoke film.
J. J. Wilson, director of dormitories, described the damage to the building as "superficial." He said it would cost about $500 to restore the apartment to living condition. It will probably be ready in about a week.
Seek Better Bowling Areas
Needs for future expansion of student recreational facilities were discussed briefly by Bascom Fearing, Student Union recreation manager, in a Daily Kansan interview Tuesday.
According to Mr. Fearing, an enlarged and modernized bowling alley is a definite need. This bowling alley, he said, should be designed to include these features:
1. Twelve alleys. The present unit consists of six alleys.
2. Automatic printers. I phones are now hired to do this task.
3. Telescreen scoreboards for the benefit of spectators.
4. Permanent spectator seating.
5. Locker space provisions and men's and women's lounge areas, pungon, and bollard tables
Mr. Fearing said use of the alley is now limited beacuse of the inadequate facilities.
"On league nights," he said, "we can have, at the most, 72 bowlers because of league team size and time requirements." There is enough interest in the leagues to fill an additional six alleys."
"The billiards tables are in constant use and intercollegiate activity in this sport has caused increasing interest among students, both male and coeds."
No definite plans for these improvements have been made, but the Student Union Activities Committee is currently seeking and studying information as to the needs for future expansion of the Union in this and other areas.
STRIKE—Don Bartlett, Florence senior, hits the pins.
The schedules of classes can be picked up in Mr. Hitt's office, 122 Strong, now, and each student can plan his schedule in advance. Early pickup of registration and enrollment materials will begin Jan.29 in the basement of Strong Hall.
By filling out all the forms and cards before going to the Kansas Union to enroll, the student should be able to complete his enrollment quickly. Mr. Hitt said.
The pickup of enrollment materials begins at the west end of Strong basement, and can be done any time beginning Wednesday morning. Early pickup of materials was introduced to the enrollment process this fall.
Enrollment will be Thursday,
Jan. 30 through Saturday, Feb. 1,
beginning with students whose last
names start with the letter M.
Mr. Hitt urged all students with cars to get their new license plates before they enroll and know the number when they go to enroll. Car registration cards filled out in fall enrollment will be verified and new license numbers registered.
According to enrollment figures of former years, KU should have about 500 fewer students next semester than this semester.
Mr. Hitt said that last year about 1300 students left the University after the fall semester and about 800 new students enrolled, which was a loss of 500 students.
"Students leave school at the end of the first semester for many reasons," he said. "They graduate, transfer, flunk out, get married or just quit for other reasons."
If the enrollment is 500 less next semester, there will be about 7,950 students on the Lawrence campus. This semester there are 8,456 here and 769 at the Medical Center.
