Nixon to name cabinet
NEW YORK (UPI)-President-elect Richard M. Nixon has chosen his 12 cabinet appointees and will reveal their names in an unprecedented package announcement on nationwide television tomorrow night.
Ronald L. Ziegler, Nixon's press spokesman, said yesterday the president-elect would go to Washington tomorrow evening to make the cabinet announcements and "possibly other major appointments" at 10 p.m. EST from the Shoreham Hotel.
It was believed to be the first time a president-elect has announced all his cabinet choices at once. It was designed for maximum impact on the prime time television audience.
Ziegler said "you could pretty generally conclude that the final cabinet selections had been made." He added that Nixon would wait until tomorrow to announce them because "it's a matter of personal preference. He felt Washington would be an appropriate place to make an announcementof this magnitude."
The other major appointments Nixon might announce tomorrow night were expected to include the director of the bureau of the budget, and key ambassadorial
posts, including negotiators to the Paris Vietnam talks.
The president-elect plans to stay overnight in Washington and meet Thursday with his new cabinet members and his staff.
During the day yesterday, Nixon met with Robert G. Anderson, Secretary of the Treasury under Eisenhower and William McChesney Martin, chairman of the Federal Reserve Board.
In the evening Nixon was to address a dinner meeting of the Boys Clubs of America at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel.
Meanwhile Wisconsin Rep. Melvin R. Laird was reported to be Nixon's choice for Secretary of Defense. A Nixon source in Washington said the Laird appointment was "all set."
Laird, the chairman of the powerful House Appropriations Committee and a member of its defense subcommittee, was a close Nixon adviser during the campaign, traveling extensively with the president-elect.
In New York yesterday, Nixon chose a 33-year-old North Carolina Negro as a special assistant to seek ways of developing "Black Capitalism."
Robert J. Brown, a member of the board of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference founded by
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., was the first Negro appointed to Nixon's staff.
"We're not making any grandiose promises," Brown told a news conference. "But we want action."
He said he would solicit ideas from the black community on ways to develop capitalism and although the Negro community failed to give Nixon a strong vote, Brown said he felt it would give the president-elect a chance to prove himself.
"The black people are citizens just like everybody else . . . I think Nixon will have the respect from all segments of the people," Brown said.
sure Brown, a lifetime member of the NAACP, worked for various housing and urban renewal agencies and law enforcement agencies.

Satellite Union in planning stage
University planners are asking students what features they would like built into a new "satellite" union, now in the preliminary planning stage.
The sub-union, to be built northwest of Allen Field House, is intended to serve the 5,000 to 6,000 students who live in organized housing nearby. It will be financially self-supporting.
"While the shape and size of the sub-union has already been determined, we are still planning the interior," says Frank Burge, Kansas Union director.
Although the building's interior has not yet been designed, it will almost certainly contain a branch bookstore, an area for study and relaxation, and some kind of food service. Burge said.
Whether this food service would be a cafeteria, snack bar, restaurant, or some combination of the three, has not been decided. Burge said.
Other probable facilities include a color TV room, a piano room, two seminar rooms seating 25-30 persons each, and a 140-seat auditorium suitable for movies.
The tentative plans are based partly on a students survey taken this fall, Burge said. The survey, conducted by the Association of University Residence Halls (AURH) and the SUA Sub-Union Committee, questioned 75 persons in the Daisy Hill residence halls.
The survey, Burge said, not only indicated facilities which
students want, but those which they don't care to have. Among the apparent "undesirables" were a weight-lifting and exercise room, private phone booths, and a general lobby such as the main Union now has.
The most persistent request was for a study-snack area which would be open 24 hours a day.
The building itself will be two stories and rectangular in shape, says Burge. Ramps rather than steps will lead inside, and a terraced, landscaped multi-level patio will surround the building proper.
Parts of the patio may be adaptable for an ice skating rink in the winter, he said.
A 50-car parking lot will be

Haskell offers Indian opportunity
By DAMON LASHBROOK
Kansan Staff Writer
(Second in a series)
Wallace Galluzzi sat behind his desk in the center of the office and glanced at the Navajo tapestry, the improvised Indian design on an electric clock and other Indian artifacts in his office. Galluzzi, principal of Haskell Institute, has been with the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIS) since 1949. He's also married to an Indian.
Rotund and soft-spoken, he reflected much more an Indian ancestry than his Italian ancestry. He leaned forward on his desk and spoke about Haskell.
"Haskell is a post-high school, grades 13 and 14, terminal program offering training in vocational, technical and business fields," he said.
Haskell, which used to have a high school that was phased out several years ago to concentrate on vocational skills, is not accredited.
The general theme at Haskell is to make the students productive members of society while bringing honor to the Indian.
Requirements for admission consist of a high school diploma and local agency approval from the BIA. In most cases one is classified as an Indian if he has one-fourth Indian blood.
"The Federal Government pays for anything the students' family, tribe or agency cannot provide for," he says.
Usually the student has to provide only his own transportation to Haskell, says Galluzzi.
In return for his education the student must work
one hour daily at various campus details -sweeping out buildings, filing papers and keeping up the lawn.
Of the more than 1,000 students at Haskell, about 800 come from rural areas and most of those are from reservations.
Girls usually study business and domestic courses while boys enroll in mechanical and vocational courses, such as welding and auto mechanics.
Besides their regular courses, students must take related math and English courses. A course in Indian History is optional.
Galluzzi says that for most of the students it is the first time anyone in their families has received post-high school education, if that.
"I came to Haskell to learn a job quickly," says Eugene Makarin, an Aleut from Unalaska, Alaska. "At Haskell we know what is expected and where we stand."
"All Indians have heard about Haskell, and to be a graduate is something special," says Nancy Schuetz, a Kickapoo from Horton. "Kids come here for a gradual start—in education."
Galluzii said the adult Indian wants his children to go to Haskell—they are proud of it.
8 Murray L. Wax, KU sociologist, who has studied Indian education, agrees.
"The parents want jobs for their children. The older Indians cannot conceive of impractical theoretical learning."
During the student's second and final year at Haskell, he is taught social graces during specially-prepared meals in a campus dining room. He is also
But although employment is guaranteed, many jobs pay poorly. The average salary for Haskell graduates is quoted at $4,600 (1967) but jobs in several of these vocations have low beginning salaries and poor maximum salaries.
allowed to live in a campus apartment complex, buy and prepare his own meals and keep his own hours. His first year at Haskell is spent in the campus dormitories.
Upon graduation, every student can be placed in a job through the school's placement bureau. Galluzzi claims the demand for these students is far above the number available.
"We place three to four hundred students in jobs a year," said Galluzzi. The government is the biggest employer.
For example, a beginning mechanic would start out at minimum wage - $1.60 per hour—even with training. A finished mechanic might eventually work up to around $700 monthly.
But students in food service or dorm management might start out at $242 at KU and work up to no more than $350 per month.
Government jobs, of course, are regulated by the civil service pay scale.
Still, the Haskell faculty generally agree the Indian student is receiving a good education.
Haskell is divided into five departments:
- The guidance department provides counseling and testing services.
- The academic department supplements training (continued on Page 12)
