By Dan Curry dcurry@kansan.com Kansas staff writer Haskell Indian Nations University's commencement, which takes place today at Haskell Stadium, isn't quite so subdued. Dancers in full regalia will march down Massachusetts Street. Thundershield, a Lawrence singing group, will sound its drum. In honor of its graduates, Haskell will play host to a two-day Commencement Pow-Wow, which begins at 10:30 today at Haskell Stadium. The pow-wow includes a downtown parade that starts at 10 a.m. tomorrow at Seventh and Massachusetts streets. "it's an eye-opener," said Lori Tapahsono, pow-wow committee member. "People go downtown to shop Saturday morning and aren't expecting to see dancers." Tapahonso said that people from all across the country, including Alaska, would be arriving to honor graduates. About 20,000 people attended the three-day pow-wow last year, she said. rapahonso said that attendance might be lower this year because the pow-wow would end a day early. "We wanted to leave Mother's Day free," Tapahonso said. The pow-wow will include dance competitions in eight varieties of Native American dance: Traditional, Straight, Grass, Fancy, Buckskin, Fancy Shawl, Southern Cloth and Jingle. Gourd dancing, an intertribal dance that occurs before the competitions, will begin at 4 p.m. today and tomorrow. Thundershield, a group of mostly Haskell students, will be the Northern Drum, a place of honor within the pow-wow tradition. The Northern Drum accompanies the grand entry of the participants. Natasha Eagle Star, member of the Rosebud Sioux Nation, will be one of the graduates being honored "You look forward to everything at a pow-wow," she said. Eagle Star will be one of the graduating students being honored at the pow-wow. She said she liked to watch the women's dancing in particular. Eagle Star's cousin, Michelle Guzman, Shoshone-Bannock, will be the Head Lady Dancer. Chaz Norcross, Ojibway/Grand Ronde, will be the Head Man Dancer. Admission costs $5 for people 12 years of age and older. Edited by Juan H. Heath Graduate students reward University's best teachers Chris Hopkins Chris Hopkins chopkins@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Attendees at last night's Teacher Appreciation Banquet saw some of the University of Kansas' best professors writ large on the Kansas Ballroom's projector screen. The evening started off with welcomes from Fred Rodriguez, director of the Center for Teaching Excellence, which sponsored the event, Chancellor Robert Hemenway, and Provost David Shulenburger. Hemenway said that great professors were extremely important in reaching KU's goals. "The relationship they have with graduate students is at the center of a research University," he said. Prior to the first three speeches and during the dinner that followed them, a slide projector displayed pictures of each of the professors in action in the classroom. Awards were given to 58 faculty from 51 departments at KU. Nearly 100 graduate students from the various departments presented the awards. The first was Elizabeth Schultz, professor of English, who was in Japan and unable to attend the presentation. Graduate students in departments around the University voted on this year's awards. Undergraduates voted last year, the first year of the awards. The second, Charlene Muehlenhard, associate professor of psychology, said that she was shocked to be selected. Rodriguez said that he could think of only two professors who had won the award both this year and last. "There are so many good professors in our department." she said. Some of the most-mentioned factors in nominating professors were accessibility to students, a pleasant demeanor and a wealth of knowledge. Several professors were also said to be simultaneously the best and the hardest in their departments. Joe Shelton, Central Junior High student, listens to Lt. Schuyler Bailey as he teaches about the police force. Students from Central Junior High got to spend the day with police officers as part of a career day.

"Everyone's always scared to take his class," she said. Peltzer closed her speech with a spiel in German. She was the second presenter to speak in another language. Charles Pine spoke in Chinese while Mark Cooley translated for the audience as they presented an award for Shengli Feng, assistant professor of East Asian languages and cultures. Both were East Asian languages and cultures GTAs. Rodriguez said that undergraduate students would get to vote again in next year's awards as the two groups of students continued alternating.
