Dykes' political future seen by state politicians
By SHAWN McKAY Staff Reporter
In his position as chancellor of the University of Kansas, Archie R. Dykes was always in the news. Whether he was submitting KU's budget to the state Legislature or handling a delicate student issue, he was always providing copy for the media and conversation for the University community.
When he and his wife, Nancy, leave the chancellor's residence on Aug. 15, it will be hard to imagine Dykes fading listlessly into his job at the Security Benefit Life Insurance Company in Topeka. After being at the forefront of University politics, Dykes may find the limelight of state politics hard to resist.
DON SMITH, assistant press secretary for Gov. John Carlin, said that rumors of a political future for Dykes were not new.
Dykes could not be reached to con-
firm whether a possible candidacy in state office.
Smith said Dykes never considered himself in the race and denied any intention of seeking public office.
"Rumors of a political bid for Dykes circulated in the winter of 1978 after James. Jenks Pearson's retirement," Smith said. "Dykes wasn't thought of as a big name in Republican politics at that time. However, many saw him as a possible successor to the vacant Senate seat."
"Assuming he would run, I think he would have tremendous support from all segments of the state. The contacts he has made as chancellor have been extensive," Lungstrum said.

Dykes never spotted any intention of running for office when he was KU's chancellor, but many members of the Republican Party have him in mind as state delegate, according to Morris K., state chairman of the Republican Party.
"Archie Dykes would have to rank high on one's list of people qualified for public office," he said. "He has the background of public service that has earned him respect not only in the state, but nationally."
KAY POINTED TO many of Dykes'
accomplishments as chancellor as a basis for political support.
"He has a record of superb leadership as chancellor of the University of Chicago."
with the state Legislature and made contacts which would prove invaluable should he decide to run for office," he said.
John Lungstrum, Republican
chairman of Douglas County, agreed with Kay that Dykes' political future looked bright.
"I think his name is mentioned whenever a new position opens because of the background and contacts he has accumulated as chancellor, nation is doing his duty, nation is 'does he have to run for office and does he have the drive to do it?' "
Dykes proved that he has the intelligence and the willingness to work which could aid him in politics, he said.
"Assuming he would run, I think he would have tremendous support from all segments of the state. The contacts have been extensive," Lungstrum said.
WITH ALL THE speculation surrounding Dykes' political future, neither Kai nor Lungsturm knew of the political arena. Dykes to enter the arena.
"I hear the talk, but it's all speculation," Lungstrum said. "The high public job Dykes has is almost always equated with a possible political position. It doesn't take a great deal of imagination to see him carry on the public role he played as chancellor in the position of governor or U.S. senator.
"University leaders have proven to be good material for political leaders. The current governor of Wisconsin was chancellor of the University of Wisconsin only a few months before he was elected."
LESS OPTIMISTIC ABOUT a
chancellor for the university
chancellor were several KU students.
"I doubt if he'll run for office," Arlyn Sweesey, Lawrence senior said. "He seems to be too much of a family man and wants the security of a high pay job."
Karl Bricker, Lawrence senior, said he did not have an opinion of Dykes.
"I don't really know anything about him. I don't even know what he looks like. So why would I support him for office?"
Dykes is the only one to say for sure what the future holds for him, but he is not talking. Even though Dykes was not available for comment, the state's Republican leadership expects to see him enter the political arena.
"It's in his blood. He may want to get away from the public's eye right now, but the political leaning is there. He's a big fan of the president and he's always high," said a state legislator who refused to be identified because of political ramifications.
