Task force addresses racism discrimination at two forums
By Holly M. Neuman
A local task force conducted two public forums last night at the University of Kansas and Haskell Indian Junior College to gather information about racism and discrimination on the two campuses.
Haskell and KU students at both forums told task force members their concerns and experiences with racism
"You can't change people's hearts and minds, but you can change the law," Karen Cook, a member of Gay and Lesbian Services of Kansas, told task force members at the KU forum at Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union. "We have to get over the fact that Lawrence is a diverse, liberal place. That is just a bunch of bull."
Kansan staff writers
The forums were the sixth and seventh public forums the Lawrence Task Force on Racism, Discrimination and Violence.
At the KU forum, the task force listen to discussion about problems facing gay men, lesbians, women, Jews and Muslims.
"We're looking less for recognition than for results," Tom Emerson, GLSOK member, said.
"Today, women don't have the luxury of passing as men. Blacks don't have the luxury of passing as Whites, and gays and lesbians are selling their souls trying to pass as straight," he said.
Mara Rose, a member of February Daughters, said she was concerned about sexism, improvement of campus lighting, increased awareness of blue emergency telephones, more rape education in men's residence halls
and a more culturally balanced core curriculum.
Lequeta Diggs, task force member, said, "We got a lot to look at, to talk and think."
Laura Hurjo, a Haskell student, described how five white men attacked a male American Indian friend in a city where he lived.
"The manager broke everything up," she said. "But he did not call the police and he should have. That is what manned it."
Cynthia Grant, Haskell student body president, said that the color of their skin did matter to others.
"Even the Black people discriminate against us," she said. "I was raised to believe that everybody is the same in human beings."
"I would call different places, and they never returned my calls," she said. "Lawrence has beautiful houses but I don't know."
Darlene Fields, a Haskell student, said she had difficulty finding housing when she first moved to Lawrence. She also said she was unhappy living inrence because of consistent but covert discrimination.
Don Abhapanek, task force member, said the idea of the forum was to address discrimination Haskell students might have encountered. The task force will compile information to take back to the Lawrence City Commission in March. Included will be proposed solutions to improve community relations.
"We want to make this a multicultural city," he said.
Federal welfare funding cuts place burden on state, private programs
By Amy Zamierowski
Kansan staff writer
When the state faces fiscal constraints, social welfare services are some of the areas first targeted for development Swal, professor of social welfare.
Such cuts often place a significant burden on those least able to bear them.
"A year ago, the state tried to solve the fiscal crisis by reducing social welfare grants at a time when the cost of living was rising." Swall said. "We have worked so hard that they have been, and the cuts served to increase their hardships."
Ann Weck, dean of social welfare,
said the responsibility for financing
social services had shifted from the
federal government to the state level,
requiring the states to pay more for
social services.
"The reality is that states do not have adequate funding to pick up costs from the federal government." she said. "This shift is coming at a time when state funds are being reduced."
Compounding the need for more financing, the federal government is requiring that states provide more social services in certain areas, such as protecting children from child abuse and providing care for the elderly.
Many social services are being financed without federal money. Weick said
"From the 1930s to the mid-1970s, the federal government played a major role in providing social services," she said. "But in the last 10 years, there has been a sharp decline in the funding of some programs."
Swall said that other areas, such as foster care, had been hurt recently because they did not receive financing in the last state budget.
"They are not keeping pace with the rising cost of living," he said. "Families that voluntarily agree to serve as foster parents are having to pay more of the costs themselves. This could result in families not being able to continue providing foster care."
Another service that has been hurt by reductions in social services is the nutrition program that provides suppl- pregnant and nursing mothers.
"The program helps to assure that children will have a healthy beginning in life," he said. "It is one of the best programs to increase infant-mortality rates and combat infant disabilities."
Federal support now serves 40 percent of children who are eligible, he said.
"A couple of years ago, the state added $100,000 to the program so that more children could be served, but because of the fiscal problems in the state, the money was not provided again this year."
Swail said that business leaders increasingly were becoming concerned with the lack of financing for social welfare.
Weck said the social welfare system also was shifting away from public social welfare agencies to programs that operate for profit.
