By Mary Olsby Kansan staff writer
Haskell Indian Junior College, Baker University and Washburn University are three nearby institutions that provide their students with educations in different environments than the University of Kansas.
Haskell Junior College, located in Lawrence at 23rd and Barker streets, is a U.S. government school for Indians. Haskell is operated under the administration of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, a division of the Department of the Interior.
Environment is approximately 1,200 students from 90 tribes and 30 states. Haskell requires that students be at least one-fourth Indian and have BIA and area officials' approval to be eligible for admission. All students who meet admission requirements are accepted.
The institute was founded in 1884 and is one of the oldest government boarding schools for Indians.
Haskell also offers post-high school training in 24 vocations and a complete business course. "We try to find a proper balance between shop and classroom instruction and on-the-job training," a Haskell official said.
Baker University is a private liberal arts college located 20 miles south of Lawrence in Baldwin City. Enrollment is approximately 800 students. Baker is the oldest four-year institution in Kansas.
Haskell offers special programs for the culturally disadvantaged, which enables low-mark students to attend the school.
Baker was founded in 1858 by the Kansas-Nebraska Conference of the Methodist Church and has been in operation since.
Washburn University, located 30
miles west of Lawrence in Topeka, was founded in 1865 as a Congregational school called Lincoln College. It became a public institution in 1941 and now receives its income from tax receipts of the city of Topeka, tuition and a financial supplement from the State.
The University enrolls about 3,400 full-time students and 1,900 part-time students. The University's programs include a liberal arts college; a law school; studies in elementary education, administration and psychology; continuing education; a center for social and behavioral research; and program emphasizing international relations.

The University is located in the southwest part of Topeka, in a resi-

"We have to provide a lot of convenience in scheduling to our students because a majority of them work and go to school," Horchem said. This includes evening and weekend classes as well as classes taught on television.
