Bob Martin, the new president of Haskell Indian Junior College, says he plans to reorganize the college in the next six months.
"Reorganization and restructuring will have to occur. I think things are going to improve," said Martin, whose first day in office was Wednesday.
Charles Geboe, dean of instruction at Haskell, said Martin would have a settling effect on the campus.
Geboe said the problems that occurred at Haskell during the past year split apart the faculty, staff and students. He would be part of the healing process.
Martin, who served as interim president of Haskell in the spring, replaced Jim Baker, who served as interim president during the summer. Martin was appointed president in 1965. Indian Affairs after receiving a favorable recommendation from the Haskell Board of Regents.
"We're fortunate to have him as president because he is a very participatory person," Geboe said. "We need that kind of person now."
One part of reorganization will be to secure sufficient revenue to operate. The money will come from the federal government and the private sector, Martin said.
Martin previously was president for eight years at the Southwestern Indian Polytechnic Institute in Albuquerque, N.M.
Martin said the college would have to do an effective job with the money that was raised.
will strengthen our case."
A comprehensive long-range plan will help state Haskell's case to the government, he said. The long-range plan will involve much of the community, including Haskell faculty, staff, students and alumni.
"In terms of getting additional money, we have to market what we do here," Martin said. "I think that
Martin said that because the ultimate goal was to provide a better quality of education for the students, he would review each position and program at the college.
After a review of all school policy and programs, Martin said, some programs might be expanded or deleted.
Martin said he went through the same reorganization process as president of the Southwestern Indian Polytechnic Institute.
Martin said he also would like to increase the commuter population at Haskell.
Another priority was to reopen
WSU to show film 'Last Temptation'
"This is more a statement against censorship than a mere showing of a movie," said Jeff Fast, the WSU spokesman who co-sponsored the WSU resolution.
Pocahontas Hall by January, he said Haskell also needs additional dormitories, he said.
The resolution calls for the screening of the movie 14 times between Nov. 16 and 19 in the Campus Activities Center theater. Admission would be $3 for the general public and $1 for students.
Hannes Combesb, journalism instructor and faculty adviser at Haskell, said, "His past experience has indicated that he can take an interest in the field of potential and make it into a respected academic institution."
WICHITA, Kan. — The controversial movie "The Last Temptation of Christ" will be shown at Wichita State University in November or sooner.
Martin said he was pleased with last week's announcement of the settlement allowing Haskell students the right to write, edit and publish the Indian Leader without faculty censorship.
He said that the program lacked coordination before and that in the past the faculty adviser assumed too much responsibility.
Martin said he hoped to see things frdm a student perspective by teaching a course in contemporary Indian issues or sociology.

The school's student senate voted 18-0 with one abstention Wednesday to bring the film to campus. They were reacting to a controversy that began earlier this week when Multimedia Cablevision announced it was yanking the movie from its Cinemaax schedule next month.
