Haskell's Future 'Looks Great' In Sports, Arts
By JIM THOMAS

By this time next year, Haskell Indian Junior College will be playing in a new junior college athletic conference and have a new Indian education program. Haskell will superintendent
Although the conference is not yet established, Haskell will be playing nine other Kansas City area junior colleges by the fall of 1974.
The colleges also hope to begin exchanging music and drama programs, said
Haskell gained state accreditation as a junior college in 1970 and has been rapidly expanding in the caliber of education it offers to students Galluzi said recently.
The future of Haskell and its more than 900 students, according to Galuzi, "looks
In the Bulletin of Haskell Indian Junior College the administration states that Haskell's goal is to provide a general curriculum maintaining and propagating
Haskell also maintains an academic
program, which includes the first two
one-year institutions.
The goals and objectives of Haskell have developed from the needs of the Indian people. The Haskell Bulletin says these goals and objectives are a result of the nature of the respective Indian communities.
Students may choose a specialized education in a vocation or profession that is needed on their reservation, or a general educational institution. Another work option is a baccalaureate degree.
The Indian Studies Division at Haskell offers optional courses that combine the history and culture of the American Indian experience with those of the Audio-American culture, said Galuzzi.
The division's courses cover Indian song and dance, folklore and history.
and dance, languages, folklore and history. Studies in this division help to enrich and preserve Indian traditions for the students, according to Galuzzi.
To aid the Haskell student in instruction and success in a four-year institution, the Haskell Department has three-part program called Title III. This HEW-funded project deals with student appraisals, developmental studies and individualized curriculum, says Manuel
Title III, in cooperation with American College Testing, is developing a diagnostic test.
This test, Justiz said, will test Indian students according to their own cultural standards and not by the Anglo standards now used in testing.
in addition to developing testing, *Title III* is manning a center at Baker University. This center is to help Indian students refine their math skills in the course. It is running in a four-year program, said Justiz.

Haskell Organizations Hurt By Widespread Apathy
Student organizations at Haskell are apparently suffering from widespread apathy. This year only 182 students out of more than 900 voted in the student government elections, and at least one club has folded.

There are no political groups on campus, in part, one student said, because of Haskell's affiliation with the U.S. government. Discussions among students occur infrequently and usually in a classroom, he added.
Howell wrote an editorial criticizing the senate members who failed to attend the meeting. Other students said they thought the senate should not use the administration controlled policy.
The Haskell Student Senate has also suffered from student apathy. Although it is the only representative student group that can attempt to change campus policies, only 13 students petitioned to run for 20 available positions. Only nine members elected to the Senate attended the first meeting.
Bill Howell, editor of Haskell's student newspaper, blames the lack of student participation in campus activities on poor communication. But other students who were interviewed at their university clubs and organizations offered at Haskell.
Physical activities have more successfully aroused student interest. Memor
Indian Students Examine Themselves
These are the types of problems that face the American student in America, according to Moran.

“There is little doubt that the white man has given the Indian the screw since he first came to America,” he said. “But the problem now is how we should proceed as a people. Should we try to blend into white society, or go back to the land and the freedom that was once ours?”
Haskell offers a chance for him to broaden his knowledge, Moran said, but practical application of that learning may be difficult for him.
"Learning about the things most any two-
Indian students are evaluating themselves and taking a closer look at the world around them, according to students interviewed at Haskell Indian Junior College.

y college教學 is fine," he said, "but I don't think it really prepares me for much."
He said Haskell students had to decide early whether to go into a vocation or to try to continue their educations at a four year university.
"I was lucky because I have been brought up learning English," he said. "Some of the kids at Haskell are just learning to speak English."
"School is pretty easy for me, but it's hard to read and teach the teachers."
Moran said that he hoped to continue his education at Oklahoma State University next fall, but that it depended on whether he received a federal grant.
One Haskell student, who would not give her name, said that she and other Indian students supported AIM, but that their own students supported Mears, AIM leader, and his philosophy.
Carol Willock, a first-semester Haskell student from Tulsa, Okla., said she hoped to learn enough to teach children on reservations in Arizona and New Mexico.
"For the most part the teachers at Haskell understand the problems facing the Indian because many of them are Indians," she said. She said, she hoped she could teach Indian children after she leaves Haskell.
"Many kids don't ever get the chance to go to school on reservations out West," Willock said. "Or if they do, it is usually only for a few years.
Wilock said she didn't know whether incidents like Wounded Knee and the takeover of the Bureau of Indian Affairs were happening, but it was a positive effect for the American Indian.
The Circle-K club, sponsored by the Lawrence Kwiisan Club, is Haskell's only service group. The club admitted women for the first time this year. Their members, numbering 34, adopted an orphanage in New Mexico to which they send toys. They also sponsor a blood drive and host an egg hunt for handicapped children.
Willock said she thought that many of the complaints made by AIM were valid and that "sometimes you have to shout pretty loud to get anyone to hear you."

The Dental Assistant's Club is typical of the many study-related groups. The club often sponsors Friday night movies on loan from the Camus Activities Board (CAB).
Chris Worak, a second year vocational student from Porterville, Neb., said he was not satisfied with the educational program at Haskell.
The CAB is the major organizer of social activities on the Haskell campus. The board has about 10 regular members and another 5 are invited and go, said board member Alice Wilson
The board organizes dances, roller skating parties, bus trips to the Ozarks and Kansas City, and they also the meme campaigns. Wilson said, to counter carnous bordum.
"If the government would spend a little more money, the facilities would be a lot more."
Probably the most popular of the CAB's functions is bringing movies to camp three times weekly for a 50-cent admission fee.
But the CAB, like the student senate, suffers from a lack of student input. Wilson
Some clubs disappeared because of inadequate student interest. Such was the fate of the Indian Club, according to Karl Talawnyman student counselor and former minister.
The Indian Club, until this year, put on powwows, traditional Indian dances, which included dancing in
Wilson and Talayma said there was interest in the club but no one seemed to want the responsibility of organizing the dances.
For now the students depend on the Lawrence Indian Club to bring pow wows to
The students say only a third of them know traditional songs and dances.
"My grandfather wouldn't teach my father," explained a co-ed, "so he couldn't teach me. He said we live in the white man's world and we must learn the white man's ways."
One of those ways is football, and it is without doubt the most popular campus
"This place would be dead without it," one student said.

of school spirit and pride.
Generally, students agreed there is a lack
One woman said she had had her fill of clubs and organized activities in high school. She said she just wanted to pass her classes and leave.
Students complain that there is not enough to do on campus. But the problem seems to stem more from a desire for a better experience, in lack of available activities and facilities.
Apartments off campus seem to be a common free-time refuge for Haskell students, as are the bars and shops of downtown Lawrence.
Haskell women express no interest in women's rights or the liberation movement. Or Winifred
Women's dormitories at Haskell have closing hours of 11 p.m. during the week and 1 a.m. on weekends. The rules are accepted only if the rule allows the lack of similar regulations for men.
