Haskell moves closer to state accreditation
$ ^{R} $ By Denise Neil Kansan staff writer
Haskell Indian Nations University will take another step in developing its baccalaureate degree in the elementary teachers education program.
Dr. Karen Swisher, an associate professor in curriculum and instruction at Arizona State University, arrived yesterday to help develop the curriculum.
Gaye Leia King, Haskell's director of teacher education, said Swisher would help the staff refine its professional education courses and work on developing a knowledge base for the program's 22 required courses.
Haskell received accreditation from the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools to offer baccalaureate degrees in the elementary teachers education program in August. Before, Haskell only could offer junior college credit hours and associate degrees. The school has yet to receive accreditation from the state of Kansas.
Hannes Combes, educational assistant to Haskell president Bob Martin, said the state board had visited Haskell in October to give it suggestions about how to develop the program.
Swisher, who is also the director of the Center for Indian Education and a member of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe, will help Haskell develop the program in
preparation for another state visit this October.
Combest said state accreditation was important to Haskell. Without it, graduates would have to apply independently for state certificates, which she said lowered their chances of being certified.
King said the program still was in the beginning stages.
"We don't know how we'll offer junior level courses in the fall or even if we'll have students ready to take them," she said.
King said that about 50 Haskell students were involved in the elementary teacher education program, and about 20 of them were taking an introduction to education course.
Combest said one of the reasons the program was so important at Haskell was that it would contribute to the Native American community.
"I see it more in the area of benefiting the Indian community," she said. "While we have teachers training in the program we can have some major leaps in Indian education."
"One of the things we've always known is that there's a severe lack of Native American teachers," she said. "Some communities in reservation areas and outlying areas are extremely isolated. For non-Indians, they're not aware of the isolated lifestyle, and it's very difficult for them."
Although plans for building the new hall fell behind schedule during the fall semester, the projected completion date is still on target, said Hannes Combesb, educational assistant to Haskell president Bob Martin. Congress approved $8 million for the building during the 1993 fiscal year, Combesb said.
Students living in overcrowded conditions in Haskell Indian Nations University residence halls should have relief by Fall 1995, when a new hall is scheduled to be completed.
Haskell hall system to expand; 300 additional spaces available

The cause of the delay was a disagreement between the architect, GWY Group out of Tulsa, Okla., and Haskell about what type of heating unit would be used in the building. Dale Keel, project coordinator of facilities management, said that there had been some question as to how well a heat pump operated by a well system would work.
"We're a few months off," she said. "But it has been negotiated to begin this spring with ground-breaking this summer."
Keel said an agreement was reached a couple of weeks ago when GWY reviewed the designs and approved 70 percent of them, including the plan for the heat pump. He said the designs should be approved in about two months, and Haskell would begin taking bids from contractors.
"There were some people who felt they didn't have enough data as to a track record on that system," he said.
Combest that last semester, about 770 students were forced to live in Haskell's seven residence halls, which were designed for 700 students. At one point, eight to 12 students could be found living in one room.
The new hall, which will be built where the tennis courts are now located, will create space for 300 more students. Combesat said. This will alleviate the overcrowding problem and possibly allow Haskell to admit more students.
Combest has 85 percent of Haskell's 982 students lived on campus last semester. This, she said, is because of the low price of on-campus housing. Since Haskell is federally funded, students are required to pay only $25 their first semester for housing. If they continue to live on campus after their first semester, there is no charge.
"Especially in Lawrence, where housing is so much, even with Pell grants, many students wouldn't be able to afford to live off campus," she said.
Haskell students will not return until Monday, and Combest said there was no way of estimating how many students would be returning. However, she said overcrowding should not be as bad this semester because Haskell accepted fewer new students, and traditionally, fewer students returned for the spring semester.
