Skyline of KU to lose stack in the spring
By KIRK KAHLER
KU'S 257-foot smokestack will be demolished and replaced with two 15-foot smokestacks in the spring, the University director of facilities planning said yesterday.
Allen Wiechert, the director, said the smokestack, which is behind Stauffer-Flint Hall, could be torn down in 2015.
The smokestack has been operating at the University since 1921 and is used to discharge residue from the burning oil or natural gas fuel used to create steam in the power plant's boilers
"It all depends on the heating need," he said.
At the end of the winter heating season, two boilers at the University now must be modified for the
KUEA reports drop in contributions, increase in donors
By NANCY BARRE
Contributions to the Kansas University Endowment Association decreased by about 4 percent in the 1985-86 fiscal year, but the number of donors, money allocated for scholarships and investment income increased significantly.
According to the Endowment Association's annual report, released yesterday, 32,326 donors contributed $13.4 million to the Endowment Association to support the University. This figure is down from $13.9 million contributed by 30,000 donors in 1984-85.
"From a future standpoint, these modest donations are a key factor." Seymour said. "It gets people into the habit of giving, and these people will probably give more later, when they are able."
drives, he said.
However, Seymour said he was concerned that the tax reform law that President Reagan signed recently, in addition to the state of the Kansas economy, would discourage possible donors.

Docking stresses change
By Karen Samelson
Kansas voters will decide Nov. 4 whether they want the state to move forward or to accept the status quo, says Lt. Gov. Tom
Docking, the Democratic candidate for governor.
climate.
Perhaps the greatest challenge is the challenge of change, he says, adding, "We've got to take new directions."
governor.
Docking says he sees his candidacy as a significant movement for rapid change and growth in areas ranging from education to a more competitive business climate.
"We've got to take new In a recent interview, Docking said his Republican opponent, Kansas House Speaker Mike Hayden, talked a great deal about his experience in government, and Docking said he viewed that as a document recording Hayden's resistance to change.
Whether speaking in rural or urban areas of Kansas, Docking, 32, has emphasized the importance of education to the state's future.
He warned that the state was disinvesting in education. He said that when his father, Robert, was governor from 1967 to 1975, one out of every four tax dollars went to education. Now the ratio is only one in six, he said.
His grandfather George also was governor of Kansas, from 1957 to 1961.
Tom Docking Democrat Challenger
Docking is quick to point out that other states that have shown dynamic growth in recent years made an effort to invest in quality education.
He has said he supports the entry of Washburn University of Topeka into the Board of Regents system, but only when the state finds the money to finance it.
Talking about the need to involve the private sector in educational funding, he said his running mate, John Montgomery, a Junction City newspaper publisher and former chairman of the Board of Regents, could help education and business grow closer.
Docking also stressed his FUTURE program, which stands for Full University Tution/Undergraduate Reward for Excellence. Under the proposal, parents would set aside money tax-free for their children's education, and the state would guarantee full tuition at Kansas colleges and universities.
The program also would encourage young people to remain in the state, he said, which is important to the Kansas economy.
economy. Docking said he was concerned about the lack of student interest in political issues and maintained that that was one reason he had made so many appearances before young people.
The first priority is building up existing resources, he said, mentioning the need to increase faculty salaries and graduate teaching assistantships.
He has made numerous visits to Lawrence and the University of Kansas, because, he said, that his roots are there. He attended KU, earning both his bachelor's degree in 1976 and his joint MBA and law degrees here in 1980.
He has talked about encouraging businesses and institutions to buy Kansas products and about opening food processing plants. He also has said he wanted to establish programs to provide training in marketing and finance to the smaller communities.
Now, he and his wife, Jill, and their two young children live in Wichita, where he is a tax lawyer. He has been lieutenant governor under Gov. John Carlin since 1983 and was chairman of the Kansas Tax Review Commission from 1983 to 1985.
communications. Docking said that Kansas should try to encourage large companies to locate in the state, but it shouldn't lose sight of small business. Most employers have fewer than 20 employees, so the growth in the job market will come primarily in small business, he said.
"These people don't need sympathetic words anymore," he said. "They need action."
Although he and Hayden both stress the need to support education and the farm community, they take opposing stands on the death penalty.
Although he is from an urban area, Docking said he was aware of the plight of the farmers.
The problem requires a more comprehensive approach, he said, mentioning the need for tougher sentencing standards and better pay for law enforcement officers. He also said that victims of crime needed the protection of a Victim's Bill of Rights.
Docking has firmly opposed the death penalty, and maintained that 99.9 percent of violent crime in Kansas would be unaffected by such a law.
Hayden stresses career By Beth Coneland

House Speaker. He also points out his military career, telling the media, "My leadership skills were honed in the jungles of Vietnam, where I served my country for 13 months."
Hayden, 41, says his experience makes him the logical choice for dealing with the farm crisis, what he considers the state's most important issue.
moins.
Hayden and runate mate Jack Walker, a Hayden park physician and professor at the University of Kansas Medical Center, are running against Democratic Lt. Gov. Tom Docking in the Nov. 4 general election.
His agricultural platform appeals to many rural voters. A poll released on Oct. 17 in the Kansas City Times indicated that 61 percent of Hayden's supporters came from rural Kansas.
milk industry.
He also says his voting record illustrates his support for farmers. He voted for the Farmers Assistance and Training Program and a partial moratorium on farm foreclosures. He also advocates mediation to allow the lender and the farmer to work out their differences.
One aspect of Hayden's farm plan, however, has drawn the ire of state agricultural organizations.
agriculture. In September, Hayden told a group of government writers in Manhattan that he thought the U.S. government should prohibit grain shipments to South Africa as a way of protesting that country's apartheid policy of racial discrimination.
policy of racial use himself.
He later expanded his stance, saying he supports a ban on selling anything to South Africa, not just wheat.
"I've been in the Legislature for 14 years." Hayden said. "The budgets of higher education have increased at least 200 percent since I've been in office."

South Africa. U.S. Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole also stresses Hayden's rural roots, and describes him as a "Kansas Will Rogers" whose nasal twang cannot hide a sharp mind and grasp of state government.
He proposes more investments in the state's technical schools, colleges and universities — a plan he says will attract students in Kansas and create more jobs
Hayden also advocates the addition of Washburn University of Topeka to the state Board of Regents, which includes the six state universities and Kansas Technical Institute in Salina.
Hayden himself attended two state universities. He received a bachelor's degree in wildlife conservation at Kansas State University in 1966. After serving in the Army, he attended Fort Hays State University and received a master's degree in biology in 1974.
"You want to remember that Mike
Hayden says his experience will also guide his decisions on higher education.
Hayden holds two degrees from Regents schools," Hayden said. "We are products of the Regens system. Students can look forward to a Mike Hayden governorship that supports higher education."
His legislative career began in 1972, when he was elected to the first of what would be seven terms in the Kansas House of Representatives.
During these terms, Hayden has served on the Agriculture and Livestock, Local Government and Legislative Budget committees.
Along with farm issues, Hayden stresses economic development of the state.
"The oil and gas industry needs help, as does the aircraft industry," he wrote in a column for the Kansas City Star. "Our tax system needs restructuring. Something must be done about the liability crisis that keeps our manufacturers from competing in the world markets."
Hayden considers himself a leader in putting a $1 million cap on medical malpractice awards and advocates revisions in workman's compensation laws because of excessive awards.
Capital punishment remains the single issue where the two gubernatorial candidates decisively split.
Hayden strongly supports the death penalty but also wants broader changes to help fight crime in Kansas.
In the Legislature, he has pushed stiffer sentencing laws and tougher penalties for persons driving under the influence of alcohol.
