Haskell's founding celebrated through homecoming parade
By MICHAEL PAUL Staff Reporter
Perhaps some children were confused by what they saw Saturday morning on Massachusetts Street.
Maybe they wondered who was riding in those old black cars, the ones that looked like the gangster cars in black-and-white movies from long ago.
Perhaps some of them squinted their eyes and tugged on their parents' sleeves when they saw the woman with the chalk-white face walk down the street in pajamas that looked like long underwear.
They probably asked questions about the nine men driving red go-carts in circles and figure eights.
And what did the sign that read "Odor Eaters" mean, the sign on the windshields of the two carts with the cows? What did the two carts with the two carts that followed the horses?
IT WAS ALL a part of the Haskell Indian Junior College Homecoming Parade Saturday. More than just an event, it also celebrated Haskell's founding in 1884.
The parade, which included 15 floats and the 312th Army Reserve Band, featured many of the college's students dressed in clothes of various Indian tribes. The marching unit of the Haskell Band also played in the parade.
The people who participated in the parade did so for different reasons.
Rep. Jim Slattery, D-Kan., was the grand marshal. He rode in a 1980 Buick, a goldish car whose car frame looked as if it were fashioned after a buggy.
C. W. Hoffman, Route 6, said he was asked to be one of the drivers of the 10 antique cars in the parade. He drove a 1927 Model T Ford that he had restored.
HOFFMAN SAID that he had found the Model M and three other cars in a garage several years ago and did not know why they had been left in the garage. The car needed new upholstery and new fenders.
"The engine ran with the original outs in it," he said.
Hoffman said that he had been in the automobile body shop business for 30

years and that restoring antique cars was a hobby.
He said that he had restored a 1929 Model A Ford and it won first place in national competition in 1964 in Topeka. He also has a 1928 Chevrolet Roadster that won first place in national competition in 1965 in Moline, Ill.
LILA PARTON, a member of the Makah tribe in Neah Bay, Wash., who has returned to school after raising her family, was another clown. She said her mother used to dress as a clown when the tribe would celebrate the signing of a U.S. treaty that made members of Makah tribe U.S. citizens.
Karen Scott, a staff member of the Lutheran Student Center on the Haskell Campus, decided to participate as one of several clowns in the parade, because some students urged her to. She donned white makeup, wore pajama-like clothes and threw candy to the crowd during the parade.
Parton said that she thought her grandmother would also someday ask her about her faith.
Craziness would seem to explain the motives of the nine men driving red go-carts. The men were members of Abdallah Shrine Temple, the Kansas chapter of the International Organization of Shrines.
Ken Long, an Abdallah member and service manager of communications systems at the University of Kansas, said that the Shriners helped raise money for 18 orthopedic hospitals and three burn centers. He rode a horse in the parade as a member of the Abdallah Mounted Patrol.
THE HORSES are what brought Doble Fernandez and Eugene Johnson to the room.
Hernandez and Johnson, who work in facilities operations at Haskell, were asked to be the cleanup detail. They were told just to follow the horses.
Hernandez drove an orange cart and Johnson drove a green cart. On the windshields of both carts were signs that read, "Odor Eaters."
"We were told to pick up the odors," Johnson said. "We were selected to do it. We were stupid enough to say, 'Yes.'"

U.S. deployment of missiles in Europe could ruin Geneva talks, officials say
THE HAGUE, Netherlands — Western officials hold scant prospects for success at the Geneva talks on intermediate nuclear forces and think the talks will collapse as a result of U.S. sanctions against missiles in Europe at the end of the year.
By United Press International
Diplomatic sources said the Soviet position at Geneva appeared to have hardened. They said that Moscow expected the deployment of cruise and Pershing 2 missiles to go ahead, and Pershing 2 might likely to walk out of the talks in protest.
A senior British official said that the reaction of Soviet leader Yuri Andropov to Western proposals at the talks was "amazingly superficial."
Paul Nitzte, the chief U.S. negotiator at Geneva, told NATO legislators at the North Atlantic Assembly in the Hague last week that there had been virtually no movement on the Soviet side since the talks began 22 months ago.
Nitze agreed that the three modifications to the basic Soviet position put forward by Andropov looked potentially significant. These were to balance Soviet SS 20 intermediate-range missiles against the British and American armaments to defend warheads instead of launchers as the United States wanted, and to liquidate missile systems made in excess by any agreement.
"This would leave — and is intended to leave — the U.S.S.R. as the only nuclear power on the European continent," Nitze said.
"However, when the resulting practical consequences are examined, one finds little change in substance," Nitze said. "All variations of the Soviet position would result in the same four principal outcomes as the original a countering NATO deployment, a countering NATO deployments, a free hand for SS-20 deployments in the eastern U.S.S.R. and a drastic reduction in U.S. aircraft in or near Europe."
