New Haskell president sought
By KATHY BRUSSELL Staff Reporter
The first step in the search for a new president of Lawrence's Haskell Indian Junior College ends Sept. 30, the application deadline.
The selection of the replacement for Wallace Galluzzi, current president, is being handled by the U. Interior Department's Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), which controls the school's administration. He has also served at Haskell for 17 years, all but five of them as president.
Haskell is a federally funded junior college whose enrollment is restricted to students of American Indian descent.
According to Galluzi, the BIA initially will be looking for a qualified American Indian to serve as Haskell's president. If that method is not successful, the search will be expanded to include non-Indians, he said. Galluzi is not an Indian.
Applications for Haskell's presidency are being processed by BIA officials in Muskogee, Okla. The post has been advertised since late August, but officials won't reveal the number of applications they've received until after the Sept. 30 deadline.
SOMETIMES NEXT MONTH, a list of applicants will be submitted to a
Haskell student representative, a faculty member, three Haskell
board members, a member of the National Indian Education Association and a member of the National Tribal Chairman's Association.
The committee's selection must be approved by Haskell's board of regents, and the final decision will be approved before Nov. 1 by Earl Barlow, the BIA's director of Indian Education.
Gallucci said he had no control over the selection process but hoped the most president would build on the skills he helped lay at the junior college.
"Naturally, I hope that the person who comes after me will continue some of the programs we've initiated," Galluzi says. "I think we're leaving the college in a very good state as far as facilities, programs and budget are concerned. We also have good alumni relations, which I'd like to see continued and expanded."
Haskell and the University of Kansas have a great deal of contact at the administrative and faculty levels, is sure to continue, Galluzzi said.
Students at the two schools, however, have very little to do with one another, and the Haskell appliance is expected to change that, Gallucci said.
IN THE PAST, fewer than 100 American Indians have been enrolled at KU each semester, according to Rita Napker, co-chairman of the University's American Indian Studies department.
"I'ts the students' prerogative; it's totally up to them," he said. "I don't think it's our place to try to control that. Lots of our students are going to the schools their degrees, especially those in liberal arts and sciences."
The department is part of KU's General Studies program, Napier said. Students define their own majors and take courses in areas such as English, anthropology, linguistics and speech, she said, and most graduates of the program plan to teach.
Napier said the American Indian Studies department had had positive relations with Haskell faculty members in the past, but she would like to see more contact between the two institutions.
The department hopes to develop a liaison with Haskell, not only to recruit students, but also to establish courses at UNIwer to junior students into an academic program at KU, Nanier said.
Haskell now has a comprehensive educational program that features an expanded liberal arts and humanities program, as well as the traditional vocational training program, Gallucci said.
Of the approximately 1,100 students enrolled this semester, 45 to 50 percent are in liberal arts, he said. The remaining students are divided between the vocational, technical and business programs.
replacing it with an associate nursing program, he said.

The new program requires a longer training period for nursing students, and those who complete the program will be working on a project to help improve the job said. Faculty members are working out the details of the program.
The program is being developed in conjunction with the State Board of Nursing, and Lawrence Memorial Hospital as the clinical training site, he said.
Several major building projects have been completed recently on the Haskell campus, including a learner center for students of food service building. Galluzzi said.
THE CONSTRUCTION of a new field house is now 85 percent complete. It will contain a swimming pool, gymnasium, weight room, handball and basketball courts and a variety of other facilities, he said.
Haskell is a two-year junior college, but some people still are talking about expanding it into a four-year college, Galucci said.
Such a move would require substantial study and analysis, he said, and a final decision would be made collectively by the BIA, Haskell's board of regents and the Indian constituency served by the college.
"Even if we do go to a four-year college, I don't see us eliminating the comprehensiveness of our program and becoming a general college," Gallucci said. "We would merely extend our current programs to enable students to obtain their B.A."
K-State physicist says nukes best energy bet
By ELIZABETH MORGAN Staff Reporter
There "ain't no free lunch" when it comes to energy sources, Hermann J. Donnert, nuclear engineering professor at Kansas State University, told members of a science and technology in society class last night.
There are problems with all energy
sources, the nuclear power offers the
most benefit now.
Donnert acknowledged that because of his background he would always be accused of being pro-nuclear and one-sided, but that he thought of nuclear power as only one part of the answer to the energy crisis.
THE ENERGY CRISIS is real, Dennett said, and the United States will run out of petroleum in a "couple of decades." Of the options for the future, conservation alone will not work, he said. Increased conservation hardships will "make the Depression of the '30s look like a Saturday night dance."
Donnert has two Ph.D.s in physics and math from the University of Innsbruck in Austria. He later studied in Germany for six years at the University of Cologne and the University of Freuryg. For 10 years he was the chief scientist at the Army Nuclear Defense Laboratory in Maryland.
Importing more oil makes the United States more dependent on foreign countries and causes inflation to rise, be said...
The most practical option, Donnert
substitutes, coax nuclear power and
exotic sources such as solar, wind and geo-thermal.
He dismissed biomass and wind energy as limited to the future and possible only on a small scale. He said he considered solar energy feasible only for single family dwellings, and labeled the buildings with solar equipment "eyesores." He also said there were hidden costs in solar energy, such as the costs involved in producing solar collecting panels.
Coal would not be practical to use, he said, because of the effect on the environment of mining and burning it and for the future when petroleum runs out.
Donnert defended the safety of nuclear plants by giving statistics of radiation levels a person might obtain from various places. He said that the average human took in 100 to 200 millirads of radiation a year. The maximum allowed average annual exposure is 500 millirads a year.
Increased radiation exposure may take place in high altitude areas, during medical x-rays or in a power plant operating room. Flying in an airplane adds 0.5 to 1 millirem an hour, storing匀 gasoline lanterns adds 5 to 20 millirems a year, and working in a power plant adds 50 millirems a year.

not properly trained and did not know what to do," he said. "What they finally did was the most stupid thing. If the cook out for a long coffee break, the operation would have switched itself on."
