2 Friday, April 6, 1973 University Daily Kansar Committee on Indian Affairs Asks Acting Minority Director to Quit By ERIC MEYER Kansas Stuff Writer Kansan Staff Writer Tom Beaver, a member of the committee, said Thursday that Vann did not have adequate credentials and "is not strong enough to work from being office taken over by the BSU." Vann's husband, Dunne, is employed by the Black Student Union. The Indian Committee had proposed that the staff of the office of Minority Affairs be reorganized to include an American Indian director and staff members from the Indian, Spanish and black communities of the University. Beaver submitted the Indian Committee's list of demands to Vann Monday. She has refused to comment about the list or Beaver's statements about her. Beaver and another committee member, Ona Mezchkieno, met with Chancellor Raymond Nichols Wednesday to discuss the proposals. "We had a pleasant, friendly conversation about generalities." Nichols said after the meeting. "When funds become available, we'll add someone from their group to the office. I think that's just being fair. Nichols said he did not plan to replace Vann. However, Nichols said he would transfer the Supportive Education Services from the minority affairs office to the student affairs office under vice chancellor William Ballour. "I think they (the University administration) will just read the proposals and throw the damn things away," Beaver said. "We could do the same thing as BSU and raise a lot of hell until we get our program. But what would that accomplish?" said Kate, into nothingness in a couple of years?

Sarmuel, who chaired the meeting, recounted its substance and explained the mechanism. Within two months, Lawrence should have a Hometown Plan in operation to provide increased input to the skilled trades, increased local employment and greater value within the city at large, according to human resources department director Ray Samuel. Samuel said that under existing conditions, low-bid contractors coming into the city from outside brought in their own full crews, whereas Lawrence contractors Samuel and the department's assistant director, Carl Johnson, met Thursday morning with local contractors, union representatives, administrators of Topeka's Hometown Plan and others to discuss the program and to continue planning.

"The main thing is to get Indian kids interested in education," Beaver said. "We'd like for them to KU because it's the best in this area. "American Indians have been down for a lifetime. Kids from reservations can't afford to come to college. There's no way to get ahead in the world without an education. That's why we're out to better our lives with this program." The plan would operate here through a group of contractors and crafts union representatives in coalition of minority group representatives to work together would work together to facilitate recruiting for the skilled crafts and to coordinate requirements with employees' availability. Samuel said that local contractors would not be saddled with training expenses generated by the apprenticeship provisions because that part of the plan would receive federal financing, potentially including revenue sharing funds. There are 128 American Indians attending KU, according to information students at the university get from the United States Bureau of Pastor Lee Varger of the Atonement Lutheran Church in Overland Park, a member of the newly-formed group, recently announced the group's plans. A small group of University of Kansas students, former KU students and a Lutheran minister have formed an organization to plant a tree in the hometown of every U.S. serviceman who died in Southeast Asia. Registrar William L. Kelly, whose office tabulated the information, said that there were 463 blacks, 170 Spanish-surnamed Americans and 322 American Orientalists. He said the figures did not include foreign students. Samuel said that the program was designed to benefit all elements within the community, contractors, businessmen and minority groups alike. Mark Bernstein, Overland Park senior and chairman of the group, said contributors to the project would receive a medallion with the same inscription. The planting of the trees will be a community involvement project, Bernstein said. The group hopes to have the trees planted and cared for by local groups such as the chamber of commerce or the Boy Scouts. A 5 by 7 inch bronze plaque that bears the name of the dead serviceman, the date of his death and an inscription will be mounted by each tree.
