Ottawa Herald editors weigh Robert Docking seeking a fourth term as governor. Republicans shrug, offering two rivals with slim chances. Democrats may fear prolonging incumbency. The piece argues seniority and experience favor Docking, noting James Pearson among those least disappointed with the decision.
The 1972 piece notes Thursday April 6 as a likely re election date for Docking. It argues the press should praise his decision and that the governor deserves thanks for announcing early in April. It suggests his party gains time to prepare for other races and that Kansas has grown used to the Dockings.
Two liberal Democrats Hubert Humphrey and Fred Harris propose stripping seniority from any party member who crosses party lines by endorsing or allying with other groups that discriminate. The plan jeopardizes Mississippi chairmen John Stennis and James Eastland and could redefine party allegiance and control of key committees. It would not alter seniority but could swap who wields legislative power, akin to changing kings.
A Gilbert Youth Research survey for Seventeen finds teen girls spent over 3 billion dollars in 60 days as they return to school. Clothing purchases drive demand, with a 20 percent rise, averaging 366 per girl among high school students and 414 per freshman college girl.
A letter to Dr Thosteson asks about success rates and timing for complete eye transplants. The response states that a full eye transplant is not currently possible, and questions about viable timing or arrangements are moot.
The cornea from a donor can replace scarred corneas to restore vision, but it fixes only corneal defects and not glaucoma, damaged nerves, or detached retina. Eyes should be kept refrigerated and transplanted quickly after donor death, with artificial eyes used to replace removed ones.
Harris Enterprises reports the 1972 Kansas Legislature set six month residency for junior college tuition but a legal gray area remains. The law ties residency to where a student registers to vote, prompting questions about timing and out district tuition. State officials seek guidance and a new attorney general ruling to define scope and implications. Kansas has 19 junior colleges collecting about $2.4 million in out district tuition.
New York AP provides a critical look at Aquacade At Acapulco on CBS. Ed McMahon hosts with jokes as divers perform swans, jackknives and high dives. Tony Randall also presents a light monologue while Stiller and Meara fall short. The hour, though dull, remains family friendly. The season’s syndicated lineup and FCC time cuts shape popular shows like The Lawrence Welk Show Wild Kingdom and Hee Haw across many outlets.
Daily Ottawa Kansas listings show a full broadcast schedule with News Weather and sports blocks. Programs include Dream Of Jeannie Hogan's Heroes Andy Griffith The Brady Bunch Colossus The Forbin Project Batman Wings Of The Hawk Tonight and The Glenn Miller Story, among many others.
The Smithsonian may place a wooden prairie sodbuster plow in its National Museum of History and Technology. Curator John Schlebecker says gaps remain, seeking a lister-type plow, an early corn picker, a steam tractor, and a poultry trap nest, to complete agricultural artifacts collection.
