Hayden attacks Docking family voting record
By BETH COPELAND
Staff writer
Republican gubernatorial candidate Mike Hayden, in a speech on campus yesterday, said his higher education proposals surpassed the voting records of two former Docking governors and asked voters to stop the "Docking Tradition."
Last night, Hayden and his running mate, State Sen. Jack Walker, R-Overland Park, also attended a rally at the Douglas County Republican Headquarters at The Malls Shopping Center, 711 W. 23rd St.
Hayden's remarks at the speech, sponsored by University Senate, were directed at his Democratic opponent, Lt. Gov. Tom Docking, who advocates more funding for higher education.
Hayden, state house speaker, recalled the administrations of Gov. George Docking, who served from 1957 to 1961, and Gov. Robert Docking, who served from 1967 to 1982, and recommended salary increases for Regents school faculty.
The Board of Regents schools are the six state universities and Kansas Technical Institute in Salina.
Hayden also criticized Gov. John Carlin, saying Carlin insisted on transferring money from the state's general fund into the highway fund. These transfers, he said,
have taken $18 million away from educational programs. Hayden said that he has voted for increases in faculty salaries in his 14-year Statehouse career.
He responded to a salary question heatedly, saying, "I voted for small increases in salaries the last two years. I never received any letter of thank you from you or anyone else for that matter."
"What I have said, realistically, is that the state must live within its means," he said.
Hayden, while stressing the need to raise teacher salaries, said the state's budget increases should be kept to a minimum.
At the rally, the "Docking Tradition" was also criticized by Andy Galyardt, vice chairman of the 2nd District Republicans.
"How many of you like Ronald Reagan?" he asked.
"How many of you voted for him?
"Now, I'll ask you this: how many people would vote for Ron Reagan's son?"

Whoever is elected lieutenant governor should direct his attention to his areas of expertise, the candidates for that office said last night to about 25 people in the Big Eight Room of the Kansas Union.
John Montgomery, the Democratic candidate running with Tom Docking, emphasized his background in business, while State Sen. Jack Walker, R-Overland Park, who is running with Mike Hayden, talked about his background in health care.
The candidates met last night in
near first and only formal debate of
their own choice.
lege Republicans and KU Democrats.
The themes were similar to those mentioned by their running mates. Montgomery talked about the need to ensure that he stressed the experience of his ticket.
Walker also was mayor of Overland Park for six years.
that he and Hayden had supported.
The program gives scholarships to medical students who later practice medicine in Kansas.
He said the Docking ticket supported making undergraduate scholarships more competitive with other states and increasing the tuition fee waiver from 75 percent to 100 percent for graduate teaching assistants.
Both candidates made references to their experiences with higher education. Walker has held administrative positions at the University of Kansas Medical Center, where he is a professor of family practice.
Montgomery was critical of the high percentage of students who bought out of the program by paying back the loans and going out of state
He said the program had gained 60 percent success in getting its recipients to stay in the state.
Montgomery said that as a publisher and banker, he would be uniquely qualified to be a liaison between the newly created state Department of Commerce and the various institutions of higher learning, including the Regents schools.
Montgomery, a Junction City newspaper publisher is a former lieutenant in the Board of Education.
"I think I know what some of the businesses' concerns are," Montomervy said.
Walker said he had spent 23 years training physicians, so Hayden probably would want him to work with the state Department of Health and Environment, which will be filling two important positions in the spring
Walker also talked about scholarship programs for medical students

Jessie Branson knows how tough it is for students. So she has worked for higher pay for student hourly workers.
And she's part of the reason fee waivers for graduate teaching assistants have risen from 60 to 75 percent. She will continue to work toward 100 percent.
Jessie committed herself to student interests a long time ago. Vote lessie again.
