Prof Researches U.S. Indians
By MARY PITMAN Kansan Staff Writer
Wax chose sociology over other social sciences because, he said, "I'm interested in doing social research." The variety of societal problems,
American Indians have been the chief research preoccupation of Murray Wax, professor of the University of Wisconsin man of the anatomy department.
Wax, who was selected on the basis of student nominations as a "Hillettacher" by the Magazine *Magazine book* of 1968-69, said in his new position as department chairman for a three-year term, he would be unable to keep up his research and teaching, research, and writing.
But sociology is not Wax's only area of knowledge, as is indicated by the variety of his degrees. He has also a degree in math, with a physics
minor; a master's degree in philosophy with an anthropology minor; and a Ph.D. in sociology with an anthropology minor.

At the University of Chicago,
Wax met his wife Rosalie, who is
a professor in the anthropology
school. She and Wax have jointly conducted many of their research projects. Being in
different departments, however, has helped them avoid
problems with colleagues, husbands and wives working in
the same department. At the university of Kansas, Wax said that a spouse could not be in an
occupation position over the other spouse.
Wax said that his and his wife's research reflected their own experiences in the American Indians. Wax said his wife knew much more about the history of Indians, while he learned from the research techniques on the Indians.

"I have gained personally a good deal from my experience with the Indians." Wax said.
Indians are, "incredibly diverse," he said. Wax that said in modern times, sharp factions within the tribe have been the Hopi, who "once had very unified ceremonials in which they all agreed on the places of the earth."
Wax has studied myth and magic in Indian culture and with his wife has done a great deal of research. After evaluating public schooling available to Indian communities, Wax and his wife concluded that local control of schools was important for effective instruction.
Now, Wax said, a great political movement has developed around the issue of local control in Indian schools.
The Waxes' conclusion about local control has implications in the current controversy over school business. Wax said.
"Ethnic differences are something I would like to see encouraged rather than discouraged." he said.
He explained that working with Indian schools had made him much more sympathetic "to the

The impact of busing on desegregation is overdramatized, he said.
"I don't see any grand virtue in sending us through a meat grinder to become homogeneous." Wax said.

The Waxes' next research project will be to study and evaluate field work, as a teaching device.
In Indian schools, a controversy still continues over whether the native language should be taught to Indian children. Wax said that the issue should be settled by the particulair school, but added that he favored teaching the native language.
