Indian Committee Resents Glorification of Columbus
By SALLY CARLSON Kansas Staff Writer
To many Americans, Columbus Day brings thoughts of the crowds of immigrants crossing the Atlantic crossing the Atlantic Ocean to land in a "new world" 479 years ago today. But to many others, Columbus DayIndian tribes that inhabited America in 1482. Columbus Day stirs thoughts of enslavement and slavery.
The University of Kansas Committee on Indian Affairs issued a statement Sunday night concerning Columbus Day.
The statement said, "In our opinion there are three major countries where the lives of Europeans toward native Americans, and third the fact that most national holidays Columbus did not honor the lives of the native tribes living on the North and South American
continents had discovered America millennia before Columbus accidentally happened upon it.
"We hope by this statement that we have educated some Americans to the opposing view of Columbus Day."
"The European attitude toward native Americans can best be explained by Columbus' seizure of the peoples and objects of curiosity in the courts of Europe. The fact that a national holiday has been enacted is not necessarily a navigational error led directly to the enslavement, exploitation and attempted extermination of their ancestors is an insult to the indigenous peoples of North America declaring Columbus Day a federal holiday, government has ignored the feelings of a small but important group of native Americans."

Architecture Students Helping Haskell Develop Building Plan
KU architecture students and Haskell students have begun to work on the project. The Haskell-KU student should know what the Haskell students think should be changed or retained and what the needs of the junior student need.

"A report of the characre was forwarded to the Bureau of Indian Affairs Plant Design and Engineering, Albuquerque, but it was made up of articles from the local newspapers and rough sketches of members' ideas," said a KU professor working on the new project.
"We must take into account (Haskell) staff requirements as well as student ideas and the board of Regents," said Harley.
The Haskell-KU group is also considering facilities necessary for faculty and better classrooms.
Quinn said all of the applicants were well qualified for the war effort, and he would participate in the program only to exempt themselves from the Western Civilization requirement. He quickly dismissed Quinn, said because exemption from a requirement is not the purpose of the program.
"We advise students every week." Quinn said. "Since the program is a full six-credit-hour course, we help the student in-

The students are assigned to discuss their ideas with the professors. After meeting for the discussions, the students meet in smaller groups to further discuss their ideas. An optional tutorial is offered to any student desiring it.
Pearson Humanities Program Draws Favorable Reactions
By MIKE BICK
Kansan Staff Writer
"After four weeks, 120 of our students said the program was the best class they are now taking. Only 20 of them think the opposite."
Last fall, Pearson College initiated a new step in education. Financed by a grant from the National Endowment Fund, the college organized a centrised course for freshman and sophomores in the humanities.
Members of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Indian and community leaders, KU architecture students and Haskell students and staff planned various ideas for the new cam
What makes the Pearson Humanities Program so unique and popular? The answer is a course that emphasizes research in a way not normally available to a student outside the college. This summer, 250 students were interviewed for the program applicants, 140 were chosen to participate in this year's session.
A dream-comme-tue may be in the forks of Haskell, indie Junior College, wifethree years University of Washington architecture students are setting up members at Haskell and trying to develop a long-range building plan for Haskell that will become a museum.
Dennis B. Quinn, head of Pearson College and one of the three instructors in the program, with the program's progress.
"Not all the students like this," Quinn said, "but a majority of them are learning something important in this class. They are learning vital in education today."
The idea for these long-range plans developed during last year's three-day charette. A charette is an intense final effort of architecture students to finish an problem in an allotted period of time.
teach this program with some other courses. This is to help them to keep up with the assignments and not overload themselves."
Along with constant personal contact with the three professors, students who participate in the Pearson Humanities Program often do not get to subjects not often available to student outside of the program.
Over all, Quinn said, the program helps simplify the life of the student.
Integrated into the readings is instruction in composition, emphasis on viewpoint and his views on a certain subject and learn the basics of composition as
For example, this year's freshman students will have their first course in mathematics and for them. First semester, studies in early Greek literature are offered. In the second semester, students study Romance and Biblical literature. In their sophomore year, students study world history, middle ages and modern authors.
Student reaction to the program is favorable. They like both the personalized attention and the quality of instruction.
Rhonda Nutting, Mason City, Iowa, sophomore, summed up
"The course incorporates many ideas that would be gathered in many classes into a coherent whole. Most others teach a lesson, most classes aren't taught as truthfully as this one is."
what she thinks the general attitude of students toward the program is by saying:
Quinn, Nelick and Senior hope to eventually make the program into a four-year course.
The fifth-year architecture students will construct a model of the Haskell campus. The model will be complete with buildings, tables and chairs placed on display at Haskell, where students will be allowed to change the models according to the purpose of the upper college
"An architect is a tool who better helps his fellow man express himself," Harley said.
Harley said that much interaction between the Haskell student and our year-architecture students would be necessary to make sure that the design that was laid out would reflect "Indian ideas and not our own."

Journalism Representatives Look for Student Feedback
One method that the student representatives plan to use is a newsletter. This letter will be sent to journalism students a quarterly meeting, according to Miss Heldt, and will contain the objects of discussion at the last meeting and the agenda for the next meeting. It will also ask for recommendations from the students.
This is where the problem is going to occur according to the campus copekai senor and member of the committee. The undergraduate journalism students need to be informed of this avenue for research.
A scholarship will be founded in Stouse's name, but the details of the scholarship fund have not been arranged yet.
In the geography department, Stouse taught Special Topics in Geography and South Africa's Geography, Field Methods and Seminar in Cultural Geography. His specialties in the department are surveying, field methods, settlement geography, and research on population and settlement geography of South Africa.
This is the second year of such representation in the School of Journalism. Each sequence in this chapter was represented by one student, including one graduate student and one representative at a law school.
Although many journalism students may not be aware of it, they are being represented on the cover by a student representative by six student representatives.

The job of these representatives is to obtain feedback from students in the school and take it into account and school committee meetings.
So far this year, there has only one faculty committee meeting and one school committee meeting. One student representatives on the faculty committee are also voting members on the school committee. This committee is mainly involved with requirements and changes of the committee.
Thomas R. Smith, professor of geography, said, "We are obviously quite shaken by Stouse's death. He was a strong member of the geography department. His death is a loss to the University, the government and Latin American geographers generally."
Most of the representatives were elected last spring, with the exception of the graduate student candidate for election process. Interested students were urged to sign up and circulate a petition. Then each student candidate was voted on by the same sequence as the candidates.
When asked why she ran for student representative, Miss Held answered, "I had no intention of running." She also signed up, I was damped
"This is where I feel the most work will be done," said Miss Heldt.

So far, the student representatives have issued a recommendation that students be allowed credit for color photojournalism. Any work submitted should more or less depend on the feedback obtained from the students.
The representatives don't feel that the students will be opposing the governor's meetings. "That would be defeating our purpose," said he.
