Contract to Be Awarded Thursday For Haskell Library, Dining Hall
By MARGIE COOK
Kansan Staff Writer
A year of bureaucratic delays of the award of an $865,000 architectural engineering contract for Haskell Indian Junior College will end Thursday. Under federal procurement decisions for a bad, the award will be awarded at that time to the winner of a drawing.
Two Kansas firms have been invited to appear in Albuquerque Thursday. They are Shaefeer, Scherrer and Associates of Johnson, Jackson, Peters and Williams of Lawrence.
The award of the contract has been delayed since May 1972.
Negotiations on the price of the winning firm will begin Friday, according to Robert Dudley, chief of the Bureau of Indian Arts and Commerce, in connection with construction in Albuquerque, N.M.
If an agreement is reached between the firm and the BIA, the division will submit a recommendation to the BIA to extract from the BIA would then be expected within three days, he said.
THE CONTRACT is for a master site plan, a kitchen and dining hall for students and a library with instructional and media centers.
A long delay in building a new library for naskel could affect the accreditation of his library.
superintendent of Haskell. Haskell's library new seats 72 teachers, but the school needs a new teacher.
The design contract is also needed before an appropriation of $7.7 million can be used for construction. The appropriation is now frozen by an executive order by President Nixon that restricts the use of government funds to contractors. The reserve is expected to be locked in July.
Donald Kethro, chief of the BIA division in Albuquerque, estimated that 12 to 18 months would be needed to complete construction of the library and kitchen-dining hall.
THE CONTRACT is the first of its size to travel through the BIA and the Department of the interior under the Brooks Bill, according to Richard Hite, deputy assistant secretary in the Department of the interior. The department's engineering contracts to be negotiated
The contract had not followed federal procurement regulations for low bidders,
Schaefer, Shrimmer and Associates was originally chosen last May and again in February, but Hite said the firm had been recommended only on the basis of being most interested. This was in violation of the regulations.
The Haskell Board of Regents moved its annual spring meeting to Washington, D.C. C. is the focus of this study.
delay. The board Friday approved a
reward for any further breach be
awarded without any further delay.
The offices of Senators Robert Dole, R-Kan., and James Pearson, R-Kan., have investigated the delay. Inquiries also have focused about the political affiliations of the firms.
GALLUZZI SAID Saturday that the board had suggested to the Department of the Interior that more money be appropriated to complete the school construction program. The bussing power of the apportionment was one per cent a month because of inflation.
Long-range plans for improving Haskell's facilities are complex, and most of the decisions occur away from Haskell, according to Galluzzi.
After Haskell determines its educational needs, a request is sent to the area office in Anadarko, Okla., Gallucci said. If the area office agrees with the needs, it sends the request to the Department of the Interior in Washington, D. C.
The Department of the Interior will ask for architectural and engineering funds in its next budgetary request. If these are granted, architectural and engineering plans, as well as technical specifications, can be developed. At this time, the Haskell project has reached the bidding stage, Gallucci said.
Women's Lib Amendment Said Different
The Equal Rights Amendment should not be identified with the women's liberation movement, according to Carroll Grant, associate professor of Law.
Grant spoke about the amendment night at a Women and Law Seminar.
"You don't have to favor the women's liberation movement to favor the Equal Rights Amendment," Grant said. "The amendment is concerned with men's and women's legal rights and responsibilities. It is also concerned with women's legal rights of women and men but also with cultural and social aspects of female-male relationships."
The Equal Rights Amendment, which has been ratified by 30 states, must be ratified by eight more within the next six years to become law.
The amendment, which was passed by the U. S. Senate, March 22, 1972, states: "Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied to any person in a state or by any state on account of sex."
Casey Eike, assistant to the dean of women, also talked about the amendment.
Recently the courts have begun to reevaluate the role women were previously confined to, Grant said. In a 1971 case, the court ruled that women had preference to members of either sex over members of the other was to make the very woman a victim forbidden by the Equal Protection Clause.
She said the amendment did not require that women leave their homes and work to support their families.
"Women are people, too," Elke said, and it is time that our government and the laws under which we live reflect that attitude."
"The amendment merely ensures equality of treatment in those jobs for those women who choose to work and for those women who must work," she said.
Publix Banned From Kansas By State Agency
An order for a temporary injunction against the Publicix Circulation Service Inc., a magazine subscription company, goes into effect today. Bill Ward, assistant attorney general of the consumer protection division of the Kansas Attorney General's office, said Tuesday.
A hearing to enjoin Publix Circulation Service from doing business in Kansas, set for April 20, in Shawnee County District Magazine subscription company, Ward said.
Publix Circulation Service Inc, operating out of Little Rock, Ark., failed to acknowledge a subpoena issued from the Kansas Attorney General's office Feb. 20.
The subpoena was the result of a complaint made with the attorney general by the prosecutor.
A courtesy copy of the order will be sent to the company, Ward said. Until Publix Service Circulation Inc. answers the sub-question it may not be permitted to do business in Kansas.
Publix salesmen had been operating without peddlers' permits and had been using high pressure tactics to solicit magazine subscriptions according to the information requested information on the Publix Service Circulation operation and personnel.
