Author traces tribal consolidation
In her book, "Nation within States," Joane Nagel plans to look at how the original inhabitants of the United States were transformed from many culturally diverse tribes into one social and political force.
By Cory S. Anderson
Kansan staff writer
Nagel, associate professor of sociology, said her research had shown that because of several factors, including pressure from the government, the term Native American had been changed from simply a government classification into a real ethnic group.
Sociology professor explores relations among Indian nations
She started her research six years ago and said she expected to have her book published in two years. Nagel has already had several research papers, which will be included in the

Another of her papers, "American Indian Repertoire of Content," traces the origins of the Red Power movement and the changes in the methods and reasons for American Indian protest.

in the effect of political policies on ethnic awareness while at Stanford University in 1976. While there, she studied newspaper accounts of Nigerian events. As the Nigerian government attempted to create a national identity, she noticed that other ethnic groups in Nigeria were becoming more aware of their own ethnic identities.
In 1981, she obtained a $60,000 grant from the National Science Foundation to determine whether this phenomenon occurred in the United
Nagel said that early attempts by the U.S. government to assimilate American Indians into white society was another of the contributing factors in the creation of this ethnic identity. When the Indian children of different tribes were brought together at government boarding schools, they gained a common language, English, and a more acute sense of their Native American identity.
Places like Haskell became a base of community. Nazel said.
KU police may hire as many as eight new officers next week, KU police Major Ralph Oliver said yesterday.
KU police searches for eight qualified officers
Charles Geboe, acting president of Haskell Indian Junior College, said he agreed with Nagel's conclusions about American Indians. Many of the American Indian professional groups of today are examples of cross-tribal interaction.

"I would feel fortunate if we hire five," he said. There are only a few qualified people in the state applying for police officer positions, he said. KU police must compete with other police departments hiring officers from the same group of applicants.
Oliver said the department had collected medical tests and interview information from 11 candidates. Psychological test results should arrive this week.
The hiring board will look at all of the information this week and select officers by next week, he said.
After candidates receive job offers from the department, they must submit to drug tests, Oliver said. Then, between Oct. 18 and Nov. 1, the new officers will report either to work or to the police academy.
Oliver said the hiring process was on schedule.
If eight officers are not selected, KU police will hire police trainees to fill the remaining positions. The state created that position this year so police departments could hire officers more quickly.
Trainee candidates face different standards and typically have less experience and education, Oliver said.
KU police is operating with 30 officers, Oliver said, and the force cannot provide the services it once did.
For example, investigators could not immediately focus on the outbreak of parking sticker thefts in August.
"It took us three weeks to get someone working on it," he said.
Lt. Jeanne Longaker is in charge of KU police's community division. She said bicycle
In addition, Oliver said, the department's community services division could not educate the public enough because officers in the division often must patrol the street. Several lectures have been postponed this semester.
registration at the residence halls, which began yesterday, was originally scheduled for the first week of September.
Other programs have been cancelled altogether. However, the division has maintained its safety programs such as campus safety and date rape seminars, she said. Training sessions with residence hall desk assistants and residence hall directors also took place as scheduled.
Currently, five KU police officers patrol during each eight-hour shift, Longaker said. Adequate patrol would require eight officers for the 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. shift, and two additional officers should patrol from midnight to 8 a.m.
When a patrolman takes a day off or calls in sick, the department must put a detective or community service officer on patrol duty, she said. This takes them away from their regularly assigned duties.
Longaker said the manpower shortage forced officers to work too much overtime. Often, officers spend 12 hours patrolling instead of the usual eight. Occasionally, they work two eight-hour shifts in succession.
"I feel we're being squeezed," Longaker said.
