University Daily Kansan / Wednesday, October 24, 1990 11 Candidates to visit campus By Holly M. Neuman Kansan staff writer The final candidates for the position of director of the Office of Minority Affairs will be invited to speak on campus during November, a member of the position search and screening committee said yesterday. Caryl Smith, committee member and dean of student life, said the 14-member committee submitted a request yesterday to the University of Kansas for permission to invite students to campus to interview for the position. "Our major goal is to push this along and get it done pretty quickly," Smith said. While the candidates are on campus, they will make public presentations and speeches so that students, faculty and staff will have a chance to learn about the goals and plans of the candidates, Smith said. "We are letting organizations know as soon as we can as about who we have invited to campus." Smith said. "We also are sending an email about what should be selected." Angela Cervantes, a member of the committee, said she was pleased with the applicants and was looking forward to them visiting campus. "All of the candidates sound really, really good," she said. "I think it will come down to the wire, and all it will be seeing how they act on campus." Smith said that people who had listened to all five of the candidates would be welcome to present themselves and concerns to the committee. The Office of Minority Affairs has been without a permanent director since June 1989 when Rosita Dorsey resigned. Marshall Jackson is Smith said the candidates' names were not available. According to the position announcement, the director would be responsible for developing programs for retention of minority students, developing programs to enhance work to improve the campus climate for students to increase cultural diversity. The initial salary range for the job is $35,000 to $41,000 annually. Smith said the position would be filled as soon as possible after the decision had been made. Scholarship halls target minorities Bv Tracev Chaloin Kansan staff writer Some scholarship hall residents have formed a task force to combat what they consider to be minority shortages in the scholarship hall Mike Deines, task force leader, said the task force's first meeting Sunday night was productive. Deines said factors affecting minority recruitment included a low minority population in the halls and ineffective recruiting methods. Department of student housing figures for the 1900 academic year show that of 393 students in the scholarship halls, 80 percent are White, 5 percent are Asian and I am not sure. A third, 25 percent ship hall resident this year is Black. Cindy Snyder, All Scholarship Hall Council president, said minority percentages were comparable to the rest of the KU campus. "I guess that's really no excuse, though." she said. Snyder said some ASHC members were upset about the task force's decision not to affiliate itself with ASHC. "It seemed like they wanted to start a faction," she said. "Right now, they're in the thinking stage, and that's why they want to stay separate." ASHC plans to work with the task force later to develop programming dealing with minority issues later in the semester. Saver said. Snyder said the council would write to leaders of minority groups including Black Men of Today, Black Student Union, Hispanic American Leadership Organization and Gay and Lesbian Services of Kansas, to ask for their input and suggestions about more effective programming Deines said that he 'wanted to include creative ideas, such as inviting minority groups to dinner, to host the enthusiast halls enthusiasm for change. Robert Shelton, KU umbudsman, said that members of the KU admin- istration could say things and adopt a few policies to work against discrimin- ation, but that White students needed to make the most changes. Shelton said he thought the scholarship hall task force might be more effective in adopting strong recruitment strategies. White students were members. "I think it's a good sign that groups, wherever they are, are trying to face the issues and find out what needs to be open and accepting," he said. Your paper, your news.
