Haskell celebration honors Indians
Jim Iron Shell sings during the Haskell Indian day festivities.

Jim Iron Shell tied his wool leggings over his gym shorts, braided his long hat and on his knees he placed his gloves and strolled onto the dance floor.
The 21-year-old Indian crouched down, and as the drummer played, Iron Shell's feet pounded out the fast, even beat.
"That's really hot work," iron Shell said Friday after his dance at Haskell's American Indian Day. "It's pretty easy though, when you've been doing it since you've been little."
Iron Shell's dance was part of the intertribal songs and dances offered during Friday's day-long celebration.
"The day has been successful," Iron Shell, a Haskell student, said. "It was intended to show people the contributions of Indians to the community, and we've had a lot of visitors."
AMERICAN INDIAN DAY began in 1914, after Red Fox James, a Blackfoot, rode from state to state to persuade them to set aside a day to honor American Indians. Every year since then, American Indian Day has been celebrated on the fourth Friday of September.
Gerald Gipp, president of Haskell and a Sioux, said that American Indian Day was to show Lawrence programs available at Haskell.
"This day is meant to remind everyone that as native Americans to this land, we have made many contributions," he said.
After touring the campus, visitors and students listened to Ron Andrade, executive director of the College of American Indians in Washington.
Speaking to about 300 people, Andrade told the predominantly American Indian audience to work together to protect the rights of American Indians.
"I won't hear. I will not listen to who says," I'm too young or too inexperienced to work for our rights." , Andrade said.
"If we could pick up a rifle, it would be easy to fight," he said. "But now, we must fight in the classroom. We must fight in the courts. We must fight for ourselves with the system."
Andrade urged the students at Haskell to study and do well in school so they could work to protect Indian people
"There is a place for you to take that learning to," he said.
AFTER ANDRADE'S speech, the students proceeded to the Haskell Student Union to eat fried bread, students and participate in intertribal singing.
Iron Shell led the singing and said there were no words for the traditional intertribal songs, but there was a specific drum beat. The singers followed the words of the leader.
"We are Sioux, Comanche and Apache, but the song and the beat is the same for everyone in the traditional songs," he said.
Iron Shell said that the most special part of the day for him was at the sunrise memorial service that started the celebration.
"It had been raining before the memorial service, which we have had every year for the Haskell small pox epidemic in 1900," he said.
After a pause he said, "It stopped raining when we began the ceremony, and then it started again when we ended."

Jewish holiday starts tonight
By JOE REBEIN Staff Reporter
Sunday tonight is the start of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, and for about 1,000 Jewish students at the University of Kansas, it is the beginning of the observance of one of Judaism's highest holidays.
Many area students will go home to be with their families, but the holidays will be observed at the KU campus through a joint effort of Hillel, an international Jewish students' group, and the Lawrence Jewish Community Center according to David Pearman, Glence, II, senior and a Hillel member.
"We have had a wonderful response from the community," Ellen Kort, a social worker, said. "Students from around the country will be able to participate in the holidays."
About 70 students are expected to attend a dinner tonight at the Lawrence Jewish Community Center, 917 Highland Drive, Kent said. That event is one of several evening services are held at 7:30 p.m. in the Big 8 Room in the Kansas University.
Kort said the dinner would have traditional Jewish foods. She said a shofar, a rams' horn, also would be served. The family would like Leiberman, Chicago III., freshman.
THE NEW YEAR'S celebration is in September because the Jewish year is based on a lunar calendar that began in 3761 B.C., the year traditionally known as the moon when that of creation. That means sunndown tonight will be the Jewish year 5732.
As a result, the date of Rosh Hashanah floats from year to year, but it is usually celebrated in September or October. It occurs during holidays, it begins and ends at sundown.
Pearman said Jewish students would be allowed to miss their classes if they gave their teachers a week's notice.
"Last year, a lot of Jewish students were frustrated because Parents Day and Yom Kippur (the final day of the holiday) fell on the same day," he said.
PEARLMAN SAID Rosh Hashanah services were scheduled for 9:30 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. tomorrow at the Jewish Center. He said there would also be a Wednesday service at 9:30 a.m. at the center.
Kort said the 10 days following Rosh Hashanah were a time to ask God for forgiveness for the sins of the past year.
Yom Kippur services will begin at 5 p.m. Oct. 7. The Jewish Center will have a pre-fast student dinner, with Kol Nidre services at 7:30 p.m. in the Big 8 for three-hour day, services will be at 9:30 and 5 p.m. at the Jewish Center.
Walk raises money for world hunger
By TERESA RIORDAN Staff Reporter
The CROP (originally known as the Christian Rural Overseas Program) walks, sponsored by 30 local churches, raised money for world hunger relief.
A crowd of about 250 people clad in shorts, T-shirts and tennis shoes headed down Clinton Parkway yesterday after a group of people raised walk to help world hunger.
The first person to receive the Order of the Golden Bard-Aid award, a certificate for finishing the race, was Max Sutton, professor of English. Sutton was one of several people who ran the entire course.
By midafternoon, the crowd, including Mayor Marci Francisco and City Commissioner Barkley Clark, had strung out into small groups of people with sunburns, sore feet and empty water bottles.
For some people the route was a little slower.
Phil and Sharon Shane pushed their two children in strollers for the shorter, four-and-a-half mile course.
Power outage hits Moore Hall
A power outage at Moore Hall could have damaged equipment for the State of Kansas Geological Survey, an official said yesterday.
"Our kids usually take a nap during this time of the afternoon, so we didn't think there would be that much of a problem," she said, the assistant professor of accounting.
Geochemical and geophysical equipment are among the possible victims of the outage, which lasted from about noon Thursday to Friday evening, said Dean A. Lebestyk, of business operations for the survey.
An electrical switch and some insulators had corroded and wouldn't let power into the building, said Thomas Kern of director of Facilities Operations.
During the outage, Facilities Operations personnel worked with the Kansas Power and Light Co. and Stormwater Management House Corp. to resolve the problem.
"Our six-month-old did great, but it
was not all good. The two-year-old
in the stroller," he said.
Computers and other electronic
However, the family's dog, Sunshine, did seem to have an problems keeping up.
Participants collected pledges for each mile they walked.
One-fourth of the money collected will stay in Lawrence for the Emergency Service Council. The rest will be sent to the Church World Service, which sponsors CROP walks all over the nation.
The group hopes to collect $3,000.
The group pledges totaling
between $5 and $10.
Elaine Clytay, assistant in youth ministry at the First United Methodist Church, said she was pleased with the turnout.
"It's a perfect day, it couldn't be better," she said.
"Last year the walk wasn't a roaring success. We only had 12 or 13 people, so those people got together to form a steering committee for this year."
60 million Indians can't be wrong!
