More minorities enrolled at KU
By TONY BALANDRAN
More U.S. minority students are enrolled at the University of Kansas than ever before.
The 20th-day enrollment figures for minority students reached an all-time high of 1,806 this year, increasing 9.3 percent from 1,653 last year. This semester 153 more U.S. minority students are enrolled
The figures, which are voluntarily reported on admission applications, were broken down into four sections of ethnic background: black, Hispanic, American Indian and Asian.
Although three of these groups experienced small increases in enrollment, one, black students, decreased slightly, from 833 to 826 students, said Marshall Jackson, assistant director of admissions.
The number of Asian students this semester increased 26.8 percent, from 336 last year to 426. Hispanic students increased 12.8 percent, from 313 to 353.
perienced a 17.5 percent increase, when 30 more students enrolled. This year, 201 students are enrolled, compared with 171 last year.
Although the overall increase was small, some University officials attributed the rise in minority enrollment to the many KU programs that were specifically designed to attract minority students.
One such program is the Minority Oldreach Program in Kansas City, Kan., an extension of the KU
office of minority affairs.
In the outreach program, the University works with high school students in the Kansas City area to help familiarize them with higher educational schools, said Vernell Spearman, director of minority affairs.
"Recruitment is not the appropriate term," she said. "We are working with the student in the pre-collegiate level. We emphasize to them the skills they need to succeed in higher education."
"That is one of the things we are trying to work on — building that data base. I think we demonstrate success," she said.
Spearman also said students who were reintroduced to the campus through other programs were more likely to enroll at KU because they developed a natural attachment to the University.
Another program is the Kansas University Endowment Association's Merit Award program, which Jackson coordinates.
The program is designed to give academically talented minority high school seniors opportunities to tour campus, to stay over night, to visit with advisers and to meet with faculty and KU students.
In addition, the overnight stay is a requirement for a possible merit award ranging from $300 to $1,000. The Endowment Association gives the awards.
Forty-eight of the 82 students who went through the program last spring ended up enrolling at the University this fall, Jackson said.
Enrollment climbs with record growth of foreign students

In a year of KU enrollment records, foreign students were not left out.
The foreign student population increased by almost 8 percent this fall, said Clark Coan, director of the office of foreign student services.
This year, a record 1,777 foreign students enrolled, compared with 1,646 enrolled last year — an increase of 131 students.

The reputation sometimes is created when students return home with positive comments about the University he said.
He also said that through U.S. and foreign academic journals, students see the works of many KU students and faculty members.
But two other factors, economies and the quality of schools at home, help determine the number of foreign students who enroll. Coan said.
For example, the number of Venezuelan students on campus

witches have better things to do then make their neighbor's car break down or make blouses pop open in public."
But witches do perform spells. Haysys practices releasing spells. For example, she writes down fears or problems and places them in a caldron to burn. This rids a person of negative energy.
She said the caldron was a symbol just as a cross was a symbol for Christians. Symbols are used to unlock energy for witches. In their spells, which according to Celtic tradition must be positive in nature, they use whatever they want, such as paper, leaves, cups or candles.
By holding a yellow candle, which is considered a happy color, a person could release positive energy from inside himself.
The Celtic pagan witches follow a rule of receptivity and free will. A spell can only work on another person if that person is willing to receive the spell.
Blanc compared the use of bringing forth positive aspects of oneself through witchcraft with a Dale Carnegie confidence-building course.
"All it is is positive will," he said.
Haysley said everything she did helped her psychologically. Through witchcraft she gained self-awareness and self-growth.
"The more you know about yourself the better you deal with problems. Witchcraft is just a way of keeping your options open," she said. "When you think you only have two alternatives to a situation or problem, it breaks out of tunnel vision."
Marcia Whitmore, Overland Park senior, said the strong interest in witchcraft in Lawrence was because of KU. Whitmore has studied many of the different religious practices.
Whitmore said the beliefs were not wrong — people can believe what they want. She said she once had attended a wedding between two witches that was very beautiful.
"Some students begin practicing witchcraft here because it provides shock value for parents and a bid for independence," she said.
She said residence halls like Hashinger Hall, where Hasley lived three years ago, were places that attracted good and evil.
"The bride and groom pledged to only let the winds walk between them. I'll always remember that," she said.
legs. Hasley said some rock groups like Motley Crue and Rush used the symbol but probably didn't know what it meant.
One night when Hasley was in her room some girls knocked on her door and asked whether she and her roommate were witches.
"We are real people. We work for a living, eat and do our laundry. I even went to KU."
Hasley said, "No, we're Rush fans," and shut her door.
Hasley said she had painted a pentacle above her door. A pentacle is a five-pointed star in a circle. The five points of the star represent the five points of the body; the head, the arms and the
The black hat on her head is not to point out the fact that she is a witch.
"It was either this one or hot pink. And I hate hot pink. Besides, Jim Morrison had one just like it," she said.
At the mention of the town Stull, which is a reputed witch hangout, Blanc and Hasley both burst into laughter.
"It's a delightful ruin of a church and a picturequesting setting for a woooooooo," said Blanc. "But I don't know of anyone who actually goes out there. Maybe we could get a caldron and a couple of bones and go for some fun but we've never done anything there."
Whitmore said Stull was just a place people went to for effect on Halloween.
All the pagans will experience a mock death and communicate with spirits, he said. The ceremony is based on Nordic tradition. Blanc calls it a psychodrama.
Halloween, or Samhain as it's referred to by witches, is the beginning of the Celtic winter half year. For Christians, it is the eye of All Saints Day.
Blanc belongs to a group called the Lawrence-Topeka Pagan Network. His group is planning to take a journey to the underworld on Halloween.
Hasley is planning a private celebration that will help her let go of the past and get in touch with herself.
"This is not religion," she said.
"It it not something you try for a day or do once a week, like go to church. It is a way of life."
John Hadl, who played at KU from 1959 to '61, had a 15-year professional career. He played quarterback for the San Diego Chargers, Los Angeles Rams, Green Bay Packers and Houston Oilers. He also was instrumental, along with Fambrough, in convincing Woolard to work for the KU football program.
COACH

Woolard said other players moved on to the National Football League but he was afraid he had forgotten some of them when he mentioned Hadl, Brian Schweda and Doyle Schick.
Schick, a KU player from 1958 to 1960, was a Washington Redskins linebacker.
In some respects, Woolard partially has returned to his days of glory. He helps with recruiting, and it is his eye for talent that contributes to building the Javahaws.

Schweda played defensive tackle for KU in 1962-64, then played for two years with the Chicago Bears and two years with the New Orleans Saints.
His official title is administrative assistant, but Woolard said it seemed he did the jobs no one else wanted to do.
Woolard still finds time for fishing and golfing, and his job includes traveling so he has no regrets about abandoning retirement. This way, he stays active with the people he loves the most athlete.
It also keeps him off the streets, he said jokingly.
"I like to be around sports. I meet a lot of wonderful people through my job," he said.

Grand Junction, Colo., but his address is wherever he is at the time.
"It's home," he said. "I've been traveling in it since 1982."
Boyd said he traveled 50 to 100 miles a day, one or two days a week.
"It's slow moving," he said. "I don't try to rush anywhere and I stop where I want to.
"It brings smiles. It bridges the gaps between what might look like a hippie-type and an everyday person."
He said. "People ask questions like, 'How did that house get on the truck?' My friend calls it the 'land yacht.' I think of it as a turtle, green, slow-moving and a home on my back."

John Naughtin, graphics designer at University Relations, worked at the Red Dog Inn while he attended school in the 1960s.

sold at the Red Dog than any other place in the country.
"Every weekend there was something going on. The place was always packed. Ike and Tina Turner came about once every semester. I saw them three or four times."
Naughtain said he quit hanging out at the opera house in the late '60s. When he returned to Lawrence in 1972, he said, the place had become the Free State Opera House. The mood had changed from the Red Dog, he said. When the place later became Bugsy's Discotheque, the mood had really changed.
Now, as a member of the Kansas Arts Commission, he said he was looking forward to the opening of Liberty Hall.
"Lawrence has really needed another community-based theater," he said.
Oldfather said many people had approached him to commend him on the work being done at Liberty Hall.
"They say, 'That's a good thing you're doing there — putting that baby back.'
"It's going to be great."
