Students in bright beaded costumes lifted their arms to the heavens in homage to the "Great Spirit." Performers in Haskell's theatre troupe, the Thunderbirds, synchronized their motions to the words of a popular Indian legend, "The Monster" — a story of a people's beginnings. Dancing, singing and telling of Indian folk tales were part of the entertainment at Haskell Indian Junior College's Centennial banquet Friday evening at the school's Curtis Dining Hall. MORE THAN 400 people, including tribal representatives, state and local officials, teachers, "It's important for us as a college in the city of Lawrence to gain the confidence and support of its citizens." Gerald Gipp Haskell president students and Lawrence residents attended the banquet. Chris Schenkel, ABC sports commentator and master of ceremonies for the banquet, said the turnout had given his throat "one huge watermelon-type lump" to the community involvement. merce, celebrated Haskell as a unique educational institution for the American Indian. The banquet, co-sponsored by the Lawrence Chamber of Com Haskell, established in 1884 to partially fulfill the United States government treaty obligations to American Indians, has evolved in 100 years from an agricultural institute to a junior college. RESPONSE TO THE opening of the Centennial Year has been tremendous, said Rob Daugherty, Haskell director of American Indian studies and centennial co-chairman. "It's been overwhelmingly a big big success." Daugherty said. The students are excited about the centennial, he said. "Their contribution has been wonderful." Part of the student participation included entertainment provided by the Thunderbirds, the Intertribal Club Singers and musical performances on the violin and flute. Banquet speakers emphasized the special relationship between Lawrence and Haskell. HASKELL IS recognized as a source for Indian leadership and a cultural center for plays, pageants and powwows; said Steve Jensen, the owner of the Waltkins Museum of the Douglas County Historical Society. Throughout Haskell's development there have been "mistakes and tragedies but also growth and victories," Jansen Schenkel referred to the government's early efforts to try to "kill the Indian and save the man" philosophy by establishing institutes for the Indians to Christianity and teach them the white man's ways.

But department policy requires students be taken to Hospital for treatment, be treated. for Science (Maiors/Minors) Explosions have caused property damage and injuries in graduate research labs, he said, but not in the last two or three years. "It's hard to say whether safety is improving or whether it's a matter of luck," he said. 9-3:30 Level 2 LANDGREBE, WHO HAS worked in the chemistry department for 22 years, said cuts and burns were the main reasons he had seen in undergraduate labs. Rose said there had been two lab accidents this semester. In both cases, students suffered minor cuts on the hand, he said. Prof wants safety in lab to be habit for students By JULIE MANGAN Staff Reporter "In recent years we have never had a serious accident in an undergraduate lab." Rose said. For you and the world itself. As a Peace Corps volunteer, you can put your degree to work as a challenging demanding and unique opportunity. You'll be meeting new colleagues, sharing new culture and gaining a whole new outlook. And while your building your future, you'll help people in developing countries in such areas as better science projects, higher education projects, or natural resources and agricultural projects, all of which are critical for meeting their economic development needs. The financial rewards may not be as rewarding as the Peace Corps volunteer the opportunity for growth is certain.

Landgrebe said. Occasionally, students spill acid on clothing or an arm or leg, he said. Emergency showers are nearby in case accidents like these happen. Since its beginning 10 years ago, the program has kept injuries to a minimum. John Landgrebe, the professor, said recently. Landgrebe said the safety program was one of the first of its kind in college chemistry departments. Besides learning the rules, teaching assistants stress lab safety, and ensuring that fire extinguisher locations where the fire extinguisher, safety showers and eye washers are located. Universities can't kick students out of school for violating science laboratory safety rules, but they can attempt to make lab safety a habit, said the professor who started the department's lab safety program. ALL UNDERGRADUATE laboratory students are required to take a short, open-book, multiple choice test over a small portion of the rules at the start of each semester. Students must answer all questions correctly before they are allowed into the labs, Landgrebe said. The most serious incident Landgrebe can remember over the last 20 years involved a student who ran an broken glass tubing through his hand. Graduate students and faculty doing research are responsible for "A lot of safety is really very simple common sense, fortunately," he said. "I think it's really a model for chemistry programs in the Midwest," he said. The program consists of a "fairly elaborate" set of safety regulations, Landgrebe said. Injuries still occur, however.
