Kauffman still gives to students
Haskell to boost Native-American educational work
By Sarah Morrison Kansan staff writer
Haskell Indian Nations University will team up with the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation Project Essential to create a program to help students realize their full potential.
At a news conference yesterday, Haskell officials announced that the Kauffman Foundation will donate $50,000 and technical assistance to Haskell to develop the Performance Enhancement Center. The Kauffman Foundation, which is named for former Royals owner Ewing Kauffman, is a grant-making foundation that focuses on youth development and entrepreneurial leadership.
Organizers of the project said the center would help more students

or the work force.
"We hope to individualize protocol, assessment, training and guidance to give individual students a better understanding and insight and motivate them to begin to reach farther," said William Reese, consulting clinical psychologist to Haskell.
not just donate money to Haskell but would actively work with the school to develop the center. Additional money would be donated as needed.
Organizers plan to begin a program for freshmen athletes in Fall 1995.
The center will focus on teaching interpersonal, goal-setting and leadership skills and increasing students' appreciation for Native-American and Alaskan cultural cult

House wants clinic abortions to be reported
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — The Kansas House Health and Human Services Committee endorsed yesterday a bill that would require doctors to report abortions performed in their offices and in clinics.
The committee sent the bill to the House for floor debate with no discussion. The action took less than three minutes.
Present law requires all abortions performed at hospitals and any fetus weighing over 350 grams, or about 12.25 ounces — whether terminated by abortion or natural stillbirth — to be reported.
Opponents contend the measure is designed to discourage doctors from performing abortions in their offices. Supporters say the bill is necessary to get information about abortion rates and teen-age pregnancy rates.
WAITERS: Serve food, friends at sororities

The atmosphere is light in the dining room. The ladies joke and talk with the waiters.
"They're the only reason I eat here," says Tara Cissell, St. Louis junior. "I flirt nonstop. That's my job."
Wiedower walks by carrying a stack of empty plates.
"Oh, I feel like a piece of meat," he says with a smile and a sideways glance at Cissell.
Sunny Walsh, house director of Pi Beta Phi, said that dating between the waiters and the women of Pi Beta Phi was frowned upon.
"I like to have a fun kitchen," she said, adding that relationships could interrupt the work that needed to be done.
Walsh said there was a long tradition of men working in sororities.
"There have been waiters in sororites forever," Walsh said. "It's a good deal for the nuns."
Mary Corcoran, house director of the Chi Omega sorority, agreed that there was a rich tradition behind the job.
Corcoran said that in the early days of the Chi Omega house — the years before World War II — the waiters lived in the basement of the house. She said that the rules for the waiters were extremely strict then but that the mode was lighter now.
"They're like family." she said.
Corcoran said that she had no problem with the waiters dating girls in the house and that she had heard of several Chi Omega waiters who went on to marry women in the house.
Brian Wachter, Pittsburg freshman, is a waiter at the Chi Omega house.
"It's fun, and it's a good way to meet a lot of girls," he said.
Wachter said that in addition to free meals and a biweekly salary, he and other waiters received a reduction in their fraternity house bills.
Wachter, a member of Phi Gamma Delta fraternity, receives a $00 reduction in his house bill each month because he eats his meals at the Chi Omega house.
Brian Goeser, Omaha, Neb., junior and waiter at the Chi Omega house, said the family atmosphere of the house and getting to know the girls were great parts of the job.
"After a while, you feel like they're your sisters," he said.

So, Kristi knows expert emergency care when she sees it-medical professionals who have the knowledge and experience to move quickly and decisively. People who listen to her concerns. And this year, Kristi discovered those professionals-at the new LMH emergency department.
"I've been to the LMH emergency department a lot over the past 2 or 3 years, and it's different now," says Kristi. "The new doctors were right on top of things, asking me questions, running tests, investigating every possibility. And, they didn't blow me off or treat me like I was stupid. They really listened to me."
There is, indeed, a new group of emergency physicians at LMH. These are young, energetic career specialists who are trained in emergency medicine, trauma care and critical care. What's more, they understand what it's like to be hurting and afraid.
"I'm 21. I HAVE A PACEMAKER. I KNOW ABOUT EMERGENCIES."
"I went in crying and scared. I didn't know if I was having a heart attack or what, and they told me, 'We're going to take care of you, and you're going to feel better when you leave.' There's a whole new attitude there."
All of which demonstrates one thing. For professional, compassionate care, LMH's emergency department is keeping pace with the best of hospitals. Take it from Kristi.
