How Is He Doing?
How would Gov. George Docking fare if he were up for re-election this November?
Many political observers believe he would have a good chance for re-election.
Gov. Docking rode to the capital on the momentum created by a Kansas Republican party split Since 1956, the GOP patches have not held and the Republican party finds itself in almost the same position as a year ago.
Gov. Docking chalked up a point in his favor when he first sat down in the governor's chair by declaring an "open door" policy concerning his office and matters of the state. The Republicans not only couldn't oppose this move, they almost had to applaud to keep the electorate's favor.
Gov. Docking has managed to vee from political hot potatoes. Not since the debates over his proposed budget in the first months of his tenure has Docking created much political uproar.
The governor has managed to side-step the pitfalls of one of his Democrat predecessors, Judge Walter A. Huxman, governor of 20 years ago. The
gubernatorial careers of the two men have striking parallels, with one exception.
In 1937 Gov. Huxman signed a bill providing use of tokens for paying sales tax. Almost overnight the tokens were labeled "Huxies" by the Republicans and the slogan became campaign timber in the next election.
Earlier this year Gov. Docking refused to sign a bill to add a half-penny to the sales tax. As one observer notes, there are no "Dockies" in taxpayers' pockets.
The governor's relations with the press have been above par, probably due to the fact that he answers their questions and lets them prowl about the statehouse.
Gov. Docking currently has solid Democrat support, probably because he is the first Democrat governor in 20 years. Aside from that he has united the Democrat party and has given the party renewed confidence.
Probably the biggest problem facing the Republicans in 1958 is finding someone who can defeat Gov. Docking.

Since this is National Dog Week, wouldn't it seem fitting and proper to let our assorted campus canines choose a queen from among their own ranks? After all, there is a queen for every other title chosen around here.

The great Chinese scholar Sun Ching used to tie his pigtail to a ceiling beam to prevent himself from dozing over his books. This might be an idea for KU scholars if someone can figure out a method of attaching a crew cut or duck tail to a ceiling beam.
There's a faculty automobile registration permit around the campus, number 10,008. It's nice to know we have more faculty members than students.
It might be worth going to the nightshirt parade Friday night if all the sororities promised their pledges would be there in appropriate dress.
The ROTC cadets are practicing their military courtesy by turning their heads away from an oncoming officer so he won't tire his arm by too much saluting.
One of the new pledges of a fraternity was heard to remark proudly the other day, "I belong to one of the top 27 fraternities on the campus."
On a recent survey of the Reading Room in the Student Union, 1 person was reading, 3 were daydreaming and 27 were sleeping.

The football team is really hitting it off this year. Nine more tied games and we'll have a perfect record.
With the new mouse factory planned for KU the Chancellor may have to get us a Pied Piper if they ever get loose.
