Haskell selects new president Bob Martin calls planning the priority for troubled university
by Melanie Matthes Kansan staff writer
As the school year begins and thousands of new students flood college campuses across the nation, Haskell Indian Junior College officials will be making plans and setting priorities — at least that is what is at the top of the new Haskell president's agenda.
Bob Martin, who was selected president on Friday by Haskell's board of directors and the Bureau of Indian Affairs, is scheduled to arrive at Haskell on Sept. 25. Martin will replace Jim Baker, who served as interim president this summer and will remain at Haskell until September.
"I am really excited about working with the Haskell board of regents, faculty, staff and students as we head into the '90s," Martin said. "I am optimistic about the future."
Martin served as interim president at Haskell during the Spring 1989 semester and will be leaving the Southwestern Indian Polytechnic Institute in Albuquerque, N.M., where he has served as president
since August 1981.
Carl Shaw, director of public affairs for the Bureau, announced Friday the decision to hire Martin after reviewing a recommendation by Haskell's board of directors. He said the board reviewed nine applications before choosing Martin for the position. The board's recommendation was then approved by Shaw.
"He is the best man for the job," Shaw said. "He has worked at Haskell before and as president at IBM." He was confident. He is definitely the best qualified."
Martin was preceded by Gerald Gipp, who was reassigned in November to the BIA in Washington, D.C., after allegations that he forced an instructor to change his daughter's failing grade so that she could graduate. Following Gipp were interim presidents Baker and Martin.
Martin now has the responsibility of overcoming the problems that Haskell has faced during the past year, including allegations involving censorship of the Indian Leader, the student newspaper, unfair attendance and grading policies and violations of students' rights. It also has had three presidents in one year.
Despite the problems, Martin said that he was excited to accept the challenge at Haskell and felt that both he and the Southwestern Indian Polytechnic Institute were ready for the change.
For almost 106 years, Haskell has been a vital educational resource, Martin said, and he hoped to continue that tradition. Haskell is not a completely foreign environment to Martin. He was an instructor in life sciences at Haskell from March 1978 to November 1980 and said that he had followed the school closely since then.
Arnold Janousek, instructor in data processing at Haskell, said that when Martin served as interim president, all but a few members of the Haskell faculty signed a "vote of confidence" letter supporting him.
"Planning has to be a priority," he said. "By focusing on the priorities and goals for the coming year we can increase our ability to be trying to focus on the positive."
"I know he's qualified," Janousek
said. "He came in here and took us out of the water and set us up on land and we took off in the wind. I think it's a question of the right man coming in at the right time. He came in and now we're off and running."
Lisa Luther, Lawrence sophomore and former Haskell student senate president, said she was looking for further support under the Martin administration.
When Martin served as interim president in the spring, he organized the students' rights task force, composed of all segments of the college community, which was formed to review Haskell policies and procedures related to student life.
Jenny James, Anadarko, Okla., sophomore, said that during a time when students voices were not being heard, Martin was willing to listen.
"I'm pleased with the decision," Luther said. "He's a positive man with a lot of positive ideas."
"I had a chance to work with him last semester," James said. "He was actively involved with the students and was what we needed at the time."
Crackdown keeps some Chinese home
by Steve Buckner Kansan staff writer
Although Chinese students often are considered the cream of the academic crop, the government in Beijing is stopping part of its cream from rising to the top by forbidding some students to study in the United States.
As part of its continuing crackdown since the June massacre in Tiananmen Square, the Chinese government issued a recent edict that most college graduates would have to work at manual labor jobs for one or two years before being allowed to enter graduate school either at home or abroad.
sas said they were not sure of the number of Chinese students who would enroll at the University.
Officials at the University of Kan-
"We won't know until after enrollment is over," said Clark Coan, director of foreign student services.
He said many of the 100 Chinese students admitted for the fall semester had arrived in Lawrence. Most of the students are in graduate school.
Coan did not think that any of the graduate programs would be hurt by an absence of Chinese students.
"We do not want any program to be top-heavy with foreign students or any one group of foreign students," he said.
public service, said that 159 Chinese students were at KU in the spring. She said that she was impressed with their contributions to the school.
Frances Horowitz, vice chancellor for research, graduate studies and
"Because they are so serious and learn all that they can while they are here, they are often the stimulus to their program." she said.
The University does not recruit Chinese or other foreign students, Horowitz said. KU tries to send them all the paperwork, but "ultimately it is up to the American embassy to get them a visa and the Chinese government to let them out," she said.
At Kansas State University, seven of the nine graduate students in the department of physics are Chinese. Another eight Chinese students
accepted in the department have not arrived on the Manhattan campus.
"Our program will be OK," said James Legg, head of K-State's department of physics.
Legg said that of the eight students still in China, as many as three might arrive in the next two weeks or next semester.
"A couple of students called and described their situation, and it sounded as if they would probably not make it," Legg said. "One student, who was in his last step of leaving the country by applying for his second exit visa, was told that his papers were lost."
"We are painfully aware of the events in China."
