Docking spoke at the Higher Education Banquet in the Ballroom of the Kansas Union. The banquet was the opening event of the event, and it docked in Kansas, which runs through Nov. 10.
"The future of education in Kansas is bright because of the people we have working on it," he said. "But funds must be kept compatible with the taxes citizens are able to pay. We will continue to provide the greatest support our resources will permit."
Docking said he had always believed Kansas should make higher education as accessible to its young people as possible, without sacrificing high quality.
He praised the KU students for their efforts in supporting the quality of higher education.
"The students' efforts are an expression of appreciation to the citizens of Kansas—the taxpayers who support higher education—for having provided all of us opportunities to pursue academic study and secondary education," Doekling said.
He also said a recommendation by a national group for a substantial increase in student financing of education was contrary to the Kansas philosophy.
He said he was referring to a recommendation by the Committee on Economic Development, which he described as a prestigious national organization of
*This recommendation is contrary to our philosophy in Kansas which attempts to keep admissions as open as practicable and the costs as low as possible.* Docking said.
"A healthy future for our system of higher

Gov. Robert Docking Announces Education Priorities
BY ROY CLEVENGER Kansan Staff Reporter
When President Nixon met with aides early last February to discuss the newly-appointed Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities, he told reporters that he couldn't trouble for the White House, an aide who was at that meeting later said.
"The President told me that Sen. Gurrow would be very friendly to the White House and that it would not be necessary to contact him because Sen. Gurrow would know what to do on his own," former presidential candidate John Hirtd told the Watergate committee June 25.
Sen. Edward John Gurney, R-FLA., who President Nixon allegedly said would "protect the White House," will lecture on the aftermath of Watergate at 7:30 tonight in the University Theatre in Murphy Hall. Dr. David S. Killen, the J. A. Vickers Memorial Lecture series.
GURNEY IS the senior senator from Florida and was the first Republican elected to the Senate from that state since the end of the Civil War.
He was born Jan. 12, 1914, in Portland,
Maine, and attended public schools in his
home state. He received a bachelor's
degree from Colby College in Waterville,
Maine, in 1935 and a law degree in 1938 from
Duke Law School in Durham, N.C.
He returned to Duke and received a master of law degree there in June 1949.
Gurney was admitted to the bar the following year and opened a practice in New York.
In January 1941 he enlisted in the Army and fought in the European Theatre, earning the Silver Star. He was wounded in April 1942 but returned in 1946 with the rank of colonel deadman.
Winter Park, Fla., and joined a law firm. The following year he was elected to the Winter Park City Council, a post he held until 1958.
He was city attorney of Maitland, Fla., from 1975 to 161 and mayor of Winter Park in 1961 and 1962. He was one of the few Republican mayors in the state.
He became a director of the Commercial bank of Winter Park in 1866 and opened his office at 357 Washington Street.
He ran for a seat in the House of Representatives in 1962, trying to follow the successes of Republican Gov. Claude Kirk and four Florida Republicans who had been elected to the House in the previous eight years.
THAT SEPTEMBER, Gurney moved to
He won the election by only 3,000 votes. Gurney was re-elected by 30,000 votes in 1964 in a statewide surge for Republican presidential candidate Barry Goldwater.
he was unchallenged in the 1988 election after his Democratic opponent withdraw, and he won.
"I SURELY hope this is a vote of confidence for the job I've done in four years." Gurney said on the House floor after learning of his opponent's withdrawal.
In the House, Gurney consistently opposed President Johnson's war on poverty and the Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO).
"Never had so many received so much pay for doing so little," he said when he
sponsored an amendment exempting OEO employees from a pay-federal raise bill.
Gurney called for federal help for farmers, incentives to aid industry in eliminating pollution, increased benefits for teachers and televised reporting of House meetings.
He opposed the Food and Drug Administration's bans of allegedly harmful chemicals.
"What is to stop the FDA from limiting our use of salt, sugar and saturated fats on the grounds that they may be harmful?" he said to a reporter at that time.
Gurney favored creating a nonprofit corporation to take over the Post Office
"The government can do almost anything less efficiently and for a lighter price," he said.
IN MID-1967 Gurney began campaigning for a Senate seat, and by August he had organized a 21-member steering committee.
Late in 1967 he told reporters that he won win because of the Democrat's problems with the Vietnam War and inflation, confusion in the Democratic party and the government, Gov. Kirk. He said his constituents were "extremely receptive" to his campaign.
He based his Senate campaign on three issues: the war, crime and federal spending.

Meanwhile, the Indianapolis Star and the Omaha World-Herald disputed arguments that Nixon had lost the ability to govern.
Major newspapers and Time magazine called on President Nixon to resign.
And Time magazine, in the first editorial in its 50-year history, called for Nixon to resign. "Richardixon and the nation have passaged a tragic point of no return."
The New York Times, a frequent critic of Nixon, was joined in calling for his resignation on Friday, the cost and the Atlantic City officials which previously had supported him.
