April Showers Bring Umbrellas
Scenes like this become common as an influx of warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico brought humidity readings into the 90 per cent range this week. The forecast promises more of the same for today and Thursday, with a 30 per cent chance of rain for today. Also included are fog, cloudy skies and a chance of thunderstorms. Even without rain, the high humidity and predicted high temperature of near 80 will make it very uncomfortable.

A group of researchers from the department of human development and animal life is trying to solve the problems inactivity in nursing homes through a project entitled *Environments for the Aged*.
The project is being conducted at Wakarausa Manor, a skilled nursing home in Lawrence. The

project is one phase of several living environments programs. Todd Risley, associate professor of human development, directs the nursery and care center in the infant day care center located at Meadowbrook apartments.
"What we want to come up with," McCannahan said, "is a packaged recreation system for the kids in your home. It would not be expensive."
MCCLANNAHAN AND RISLE collected information about age, sex and activity of the residents; between 76 and 80 years old, there were twice as many women, a number of the residents had dementia, and they had bedfast. She also found that most of the time they were in their rooms sitting or lying and were speaking 87 per cent of the time.
The main activities of the residents were watching TV and dining.
Indians Question Rights In Legal, Moral Issues
By WENDIE ELLIOTT Kansan Staff Writer
According to the treaty still governing the reservation, the Indian Chief can enjoy these privileges necessary for them to gather information about the populations of the treaty have been observed. The Indians of the area have been forced to rely on these sources of food only when they are not present.
If people realized that Indians don't have civil rights, all legal questions would come to an end. Francis Batesie, a Potawattomi from Holton and a member of the Movement (ALM), said Sunday.
Of primary concern to AIM is the issue facing the Chippewa village area of Minnesota. The problem, according to Chester Armajo, an Arapaho from Windriver, Wyo., was that the Indians Indian Junior College student body, revolves around hunting, and gathers权利 of the Chippewa village.
"THE THING is," he said, "the people don't get hungry 'in season.'"
The Federal Appeals Court of Minnesota ruled December 10, 1971, that the Leech Lake Chippewas were to have hunting.
Music Students to Sing Black Repertoire Today
The program was organized by Miriam Stewart Green, associate professor of voice.
Green is writing a book which will explore different facets of compositions composed by a designed teacher as a guide for students preparing a repertoire.

One chapter of the book will be on Negro composers. Green has written to many of the composers
to gain background information on them and their works so that she can determine what should be included in the book.
The program will begin with a number written near the turn of the century, and will be written throughout the 20th century. The program will end with a century.
Through the recitals, Green hopes to demonstrate what could be a workable repertoire of songs that will be included in this will be included in her book.

fishing and rice gathering privileges outside game laws. The main objection to this, according to Armajo, is the Leech Lake area is primarily a resort area and it was feared that the dam would deplete the supply of game available to the tourists.
Another selection, "Beyond the Rim of Day," by Hale Smith, is written in three parts: "March Moon," "Troubled Woman" and "Woman's Strength." The will be sung by Melanie Oldfather, Lawrence senior.

nation and professor at UCLA, Luciano, an Italian, is the only composer on the program who is also a recipient of the "King" an important song to include in the collection, because it is a tribute to Martin Luther King Jr.
In spite of the ruling of the Appeals Court, Armajo said, the state and local authorities refuse to allow the Chippiwas their property.
Armojo pointed out that the Red Lake Chippawa reservation, which is also in Minnesota, was a sawmill and had yearround hunting rights.
IN REACTION to the refusal, according to Armajo, the head of the area, two members of an area have invited members of AIM to hold their national conference May 10-15 in Cassau. The conference will be held by the reservation. At this occasion, he will declare the Chipperi will deal themselves a sovereign nation.
In defiance of the game restrictions, according to Armado, Indians attending a conference and to go hunting and fishing.
The catch to this, Armajo said, is that the mayor of Cass Lake, James Rutherford, rulings, has deputized 200 National Rifle Association members and has said he would not be responsible for any Indians found in his area.
"We're going because we used to know him," Armago said. "We might not come here." Battese cited another battle the Indian had been engaged in on a mission there.
Battese told the Jesus asked for the land a century ago to set up an educational system for the Indians. The Indians loaned them the land and they built Pottawattami tribe was informed later that in order for the Jesus to build any buildings on the land, the Jesus must own it. The Indians, he said, did not believe they could not sell it, likeweise, they could not sell it.
HE SAID an attempt was being made to recover land belonging to the Kansas Potawattatians and "sold" to Jesuits in the 1800s.
The land was given to the Jesuits with the agreement that if the Jesuits left, the land should revert back to the Potawatomi
The land being disputed covers nearly 1,400 acres and is on the southwest corner of the Pottawattomi reservation.
THE LAND and the 12 buildings which were constructed on it by the Jesuits now lies idle in the garden, and the acres of the land up for sale. Eight acres has been leased to a nearby city for a golf course; and four more are available.
In November 1970, the Tribal
Other planned projects and observations include incorporating an in-house commissary which would allow residents to purchase cosmetic or other items. McCannahan sapphire subsidized items so that all residents could make purchases.
McLANNANHAI SAID they continue to evaluate such activities and with rhythm instruments, and table games such as
Action Committee did research that the lawyers must appeal to the Jesus on a moral level because they had no sound legal ground.
McClannahan said that Wakara Manor had donated office space for the project and administrator Lowell J. Wade has given his full cooperation and administration to Wakara Manor as a research site.
The research has been funded by a $5,441 grant presented to Risley in late February by the National Institute of Mental Health this grant will allow research to continue through September.

Battese said that when the land had been restored to the Potawatomi, they intended to make use of the existing farm center and a mental health center, a dairy, and a pre-school are already set up on the land, according to Battese. The Potawatomi need funds to put back into operation, he said.
Custom Made Sandals
He said the goal of the restoration was to make a place where indians of all tribes could live and develop abundantly of government control.
Concerning this inactivity, McClannahan said. "If you have a patient who quits walking and has difficulty everly he won't be able to."
A grant of $181,584 for the project has been requested from the University of Bristol Education and Welfare. It would fund research by the department of human development and education in September 1972 to September 1975.
"Hopefully," Battese said,
"non-indians will go there and learn and learn their brothers who they can live and not kill things."
To remedy this problem, a number of projects were begun to stimulate activity and interaction among the residents. The first project was to design a dining area. After arranging tables so that only two or three could sit at a table, rather than having long "institution-like" seating arrangements, she found that children interacted more frequently.
A MANIPULATIVE area was set up to offer residents a range of activities from just watching TV. This involved utilization of puzzles and games. Products which were widely used by children and large are the most popular.
McClannan said this project worked best if there was a certain amount of social reinforcement. For example, when people were less likely to ask for equipment but would readily offer it, they were handed to them by a worker.

increasing age are observed when some of the same toys were placed on the tops of geriatric chairs of the most severely disabled

much as tripled on days when the equipment was available.
THE BINGO GAMES offered prizes and were the most popular first, McClamahan said. She also offered prizes also be offered for the painting sessions. Rather than having an adult participant was given a number when he can in. Numbers were drawn several times throughout the event.
Eventually prizes were also offered through a drawing at the reading session.
McClannan said the winners were allowed to select their pieces from a collection of several objects, most of which cost 25 cents. The most popular item was a quarter. Playing cards, and oranges were also popular.
We observed that the use of prizes increased attendance at these activities, McClannahan said.
Museum to Sponsor Bird Walk
The Museum of Natural History Associates will sponsor "Bird Walk," an ornithology field trip for students. Third through the six grades. Participants will study waterfowl, forest, grassland and wetland habitats to areas usually habilitated by these birds so that students can learn some of the habits of these species during their exploration, explore feeding, courtship and
predator-prey relations.
Richard Lattis, graduate
economist in biology and
ecology, will teach and act as

questions they may have about what they have seen.
The students will return to the museum after the field trip to see how their work can be applied. The collections can be handled by the students and used to make art.
Students' parents must come to the Office Administrator's office to enroll and to sign a permission slip. The fee is $4.50 per person or $4 for Museum admission. Enrollment is limited to 18 students. Students should bring a lobi of the museum at 8 a.m.
