Change in ROTC policy could include Haskell
By Denise Neil Kansan staff writer
Haskell Indian Nations University students may be able to begin taking ROTC classes at the University of Kansas this fall if a plan for cross-enrollment is approved.
Col. Ron Nicholl, professor of military science, said that an agreement that would set the plan in motion has been given to Haskell president Bob Martin. After his approval, the chancellor's review and approval of the proposal would be needed he said.
"The objective is to offer the students of Haskell the opportunity to become officers in the U.S. army," he said. "It's kind of a win-win situation for students. I use the analysis that it's like sticking their foot in the swimming pool to test the water and see how they like it."
In the past, Haskell students had been permitted to take ROTC classes at KU. However, in 1989, the Department of Defense decided to stop
sponsoring ROTC units from two-year institutions. Since Haskell is now a four-year university, it is again eligible to participate in the program.
The classes would be offered at no charge to Haskell students, Nicholl said. Items such as textbooks and uniforms would be provided to the students by the U.S. Army through the University. The students would be able to begin taking courses as freshmen at Haskell or wait until they were juniors and transfer to KU to begin taking courses.
Nicholl said that KU had established similar cross-enrollment programs with other nearby universities, such as Washburn University and Baker University.
Nicholl said that although interest in the program wasn't high now, he thought it would increase as the program matured.
"The response has been good, but it hasn't been overwhelming," he said. "I think it's going to take a little while to get students involved."
David Shulenburger, vice chancellor for academic affairs, said the idea to renew the ROTC cross-enrollment between Haskell and KU came about from meetings of the KU-Haskell interinstitutional cooperative commission. The body, which has existed for about 4 years, is made up of about 10 administrators, faculty and students from both institutions who discuss ways to enhance cooperation between the two universities. Shulenburger co-chairs the committee.
Hannes Combest, Martin's assistant, said that she felt confident that Martin would sign the agreement soon. It is just a matter of him finding the time to get to it.
"He's not as concerned with Haskell as he is with giving the students a quality experience which I think is what will make this program particularly unique," she said. "It provides the students not only with an opportunity for a military career, but it is another way to link the two universities."
Organization seeks education, unity
Friends of Haskell strives to unite university, community
By Cheryl Cadue
Kansan staff writer
Improving communications between Haskell Indian Nations University and the Lawrence community has been the mission of Friends of Haskell for the last two years.
Clenese Hills, president of Friends of Haskell, said the 130 people who were involved in the organization joined either because they wanted to know more about Haskell or because they believed in uniting Haskell and the Lawrence community.
"We wanted to give people in the Lawrence community the opportunity to be involved with Haskell by letting them know about Haskell activities and supporting Haskell students and staff in those activities," she said.
Dan Wildcat, chair of the division of natural and social sciences at Haskell, said Friends of Haskell came at a time when both Haskell and the Lawrence community wanted to improve communication.
"It's a two-way street," he said. "In many respects, under past administrations, there were no feelings conveyed to the people in Lawrence that we want to be respected and be part of their community."
Wildcat said the organization was instrumental in creating Haskell's Hiawatha Welcome Center and was behind the push for renovating the center's building.
The welcome center was the first major project for the organization, and the Welcome Center Committee continues to be the organization's only active committee.
Brower Burchill, KU associate vice chancellor for academic affairs and committee chair, said that he had limited contact with Haskell before he joined the organization.
"I think those of us who live in the community of Lawrence don't know much about Haskell," he said. "This is an opportunity to learn what Haskell was and what it is and what it hopes to be."
Major renovations on the welcome center still are needed, Burchill said. Friends of Haskell would raise money and develop proposals for the renovations.
Hannes Combesb, educational assistant to Haskell president Bob Martin, said the organization was an important group that likely would become a big support system for Haskell in the future.
"Because the Haskell staff has limited resources, the welcome center is something we could not have accomplished on our own," she said. "The community support helped us out a lot."
Combest said that the Lawrence community needed to know the history of Haskell and Native Americans.
"It is important for the Lawrence community to come out and visit the campus," she said. We really tried to open our doors and tell the Lawrence community that you don't have to have an invitation."
Friends of Haskell will have its next meeting Thursday 7 p.m. in the Hiawatha Welcome Center at the Haskle campus.
