Class studies era of Columbus
One evening Columbus
Although it was no secret on the ship that the aerial was nothing short of a freak accident, Columbus boasted thereafter about his athletic prowess (He thought that he played like Rex Walters). One one told him differently for fear of walking the plank.
You see, it all started with Columbus's deranged belief that the world was a mammoth basketball, and that the atrasonphere was its promethean hoop. (Not too far from many KU fans' idea). In trying to prove his point, he used one of his sailors to guard his door from back-stabbing spies on the ship (Columbus was also paranoid), as he sat up late nights sketching models of a huge basketball/earth. However, Columbus hired a fidgery guard, and in his restlessness, he'd swipe at and dislodge pulleys, muck buckets and anything else he could steal from the hands of his shipsmates as they casually entered his territory. If he succeeded, he would then run circles around them and toss the stolen object through the hole of a life raft.
Most of the 35 students, ranging from Haskell students to interested senior citizens, said they took the class because they thought their knowledge of American-Indian history was inadequate.
Instead they became devoted Columbus fans. They made POSTERS with spirit-filled captions of their captain, such as:'Columbus, Among Us!', and,'Chris
Did you know that Columbus discovered the basketball? It's true, with Reagan as my witness.

whitewater wave bumped the ship's stern, sending Chris in awkward flight to the top of the poop deck where he did the dunk of the day.
"I realized a few years ago that there was another American history, one that isn't really taught," said Sarah Henderson, a Topeka resident who is taking the class. "I wanted to explore this Native-American perspective."

You see, The Jayhawk Basketball Poster Series Collection is a Keeper. They're collectors' items. If Columbus's boys had had any sense at all, they too would have saved their posters. If they had, basketball history would have surely been rewritten.

The influence the Iroquois had on the Constitution is just one topic in a new class being taught this semester by four Haskell Indian Junior College faculty members entitled, "The Columbian Legacy."

This year is the 500th anniversary of Christopher Columbus' landing in the Americas. The Haskell course explores relations between the European explorers and American Indians.
So just be yourself- a steadfast KU basketball buff, and keep on collecting those KU posters. Columbus would be proud.
"This class re-examines some of the occurrences starting 500 years ago and how these things affect us today," said Dan Wildcat, who created the course. Wildcat is head of the department of natural and social sciences at Haskell and one of the four instructors teaching the class.
The course, which is open to anyone and costs $180, entails reading books and articles about European contact with American Indians. The class is currently discussing "Conquest of Paradise" by Kirkpatrick Sale, a book that studies the different world views of the two cultures and how their ideas clashed. Venita Chitnau-White, professor of social sciences at Haskell, is teaching this section of the class.
So when the founding fathers of the United States began to write the U.S. Constitution, where did they look for advice?
It wasn't Europe.
