Haskell students—
(Continued from page 1)
"We try to provide high standards for our students."
Many students complain, however, their education is at most on a high school level. They also complain Haskell advertises itself as a type of junior college but that it is more like a high school.
Wallace Galluzi, Haskell principal, when asked if Haskell could be changed said he couldn't think of anything which needed to be changed immediately but that all institutions are changing in some way.
"The ones who complain are those students who can't deal with their problems," says Elmer Blackbird, an Indian and Haskell guidance counselor.
But that is to say the students complaints have nothing to do with their education.
The word "change" annos some Haskell faculty. But when they think of change they think of it being accomplished through the BIA structure.
However, Carl T. Rowan, a syndicated columnist, reports that the Senate sub-committee formed by the late senator, Robert F. Kennedy will recommend more experimentation in Indian education and probably that the responsibility for Indian education be transferred to the Department of Health, Education and Welfare from the BIA.
Sociologists and Indian leaders aren't specific about what changes should be made but they are positive Indians need an education which does not place emphasis on the white man's culture but rather on the Indians' tribal culture.
One Indian points out for example, that the Haskell student council is nominated and elected through the democratic process. However, he says, the Indians form of government is one of concensus. He suggest instead, that the various tribes select someone who will work for their particular tribal culture.
The Indians want to preserve their culture on more than a "mimeographed" level.

In as much as Haskell is a vocational school it offers an excellent opportunity to the Indian student. But in as much as it is an Indian school, it is not, as they claim, geared to the Indian student.
Yet Haskell is not the only form of discrimination the Haskell Indian faces.

in this respect Haskell and the BIA bureaucratically discriminate against the Indian student by imposing policy and regulations not only unsympathetic with the Indians culture but the culture of any person.

In Lawrence the Haskell Indian isn't even treated like a citizen in some cases and several bars have openly refused to serve them which surely violates his civil rights locally and federally.

An employee at the Mission Inn at 19th and Massachusetts said she would refuse to serve Haskell students.
"We only have to serve niggers," she said.
Larry Clark, and employee at the Southern Pit at 19th and Massachusetts, said he was instructed not to serve Indians beer unless they had KU ID's even if the students had other identification. When asked if any Indians came to the Southern Pit he said. "No."
An employee at the Campus Hideaway said they could not serve the Indians only beer because they vomited all over the place.
Senator Robert F. Kenndy was apparently right when he said, "The Indian is the forgotten American."
Americans have seen race relations in black and white so long that the American Indian hasn't even been considered a human being—just a tourist attraction—an oddity of the American past
The only way Americans of any race can rectify this situation is to become socially conscious on a broader level.
The Indian does not want integration for then he would be sacrificing his cultural heritage. Instead he wants a tolerant social system and a sympathetic education that cannot apparently be supplied by the present federal bureaucracy in the form of the BIA. It is not easy to change one of the oldest bureaucracies in the United States.
But if changes must come, they must come. And if complaining brings about results, then complain we must.

Stahl, recipient of the Gold Medal of the Goethe Institute, has written brooks on the German novel and on four German
