Haskell is still tuition-free after help from Congress
By VIRGINIA McGRATH Staff writer
Some students and administrators at Haskell Indian Junior College are breathing a bill of relief at a U.S. Senate bill that blocks the Bureau of Indian Affairs from charging tuition at Haskell.
American Indians have attended Haskell tuition-free for more than 100 years.
"I think it was a good move," said Charles Gebo, dean of instruction at Haskell. "This is part of a government-to-government relationship. Earlier treaties said this would be available, and Congress had a responsibility to the tribes to uphold that."
The tuition-free education was threatened recently by Reagan administration budget cuts. The administration proposed cutting $700,000.
from the Bureau of Indian Affairs and proposed tuition as one way to make up some of that money.
But the Senate bill, passed Wednesday, contained a provision blocking the charging of tuition at Haskell, Southwestern Indian Polytechnic Institute at Albuquerque, N.M., and the Institute of American Indian Arts at Santa Fe, N.M.
The bill, a Department of the Interior appropriations bill, also granted $1.25 million to the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
The U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill earlier this year that also blocked the tuition proposal. The House bill, introduced by U.S. Rep. Jim Slattery, D-Kan., differed from the Senate bill. Slattery's bill called for all of the $1.25 million to go to Haskell.
work at making the two bills uniform.
Cynthia Rapp, Slattery's press secretary, said Slattery would work with the committee chair and with Sens. Nancy Kassebaum, R-Kan, and Robert Dole, R-Kan, to obtain the $1.25 million for Haskell in the final edition
A conference committee now will
"He doesn't want to leave it to chance— he wants it to go directly to Haskell." Rapp said.
Rapp said that more than 50 percent of Haskell students came from families that earned less than $9,000 a year.
Gebee said it was extremely important that students be allowed to attend Haskell without paying tuition. But even the many would not be able to attend.
Bikers oppose building mall near Clinton Parkway course
By VALOREE ARMSTRONG Staff writer
Lawrence bicyclists are intent on stopping a proposed suburbia mall that they say would ruin the only good bike path in Lawrence.
The 101-acre site they oppose, one of three proposed for suburban malls, is on the southeast corner of Clinton Parkway and Wakarusa Drive. It is near the Clinton Parkway Fitness Course, which runs four to miles from the intersection of Clinton and Iowa streets to Clinton Lake
"We're frightened of the fact that if a mail goes in out there, the increase in traffic and crime will be tremendous and crimson, Anderson, associate professor of music.
One recreational bicyclist said that 107 fellow enthusiasts had signed one of four anti-mail petitions he had placed in Lawrence bicycle shops. The petitions have since been collected.
Anderson said the petitions be presented to the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission at its Oct. 7 or Oct. 21 meeting. At those
meetings, the commission will hear reports from staff, developers and the public on the three proposed mall sites.
Anderson said he'd spent much time at the Clinton Parkway path and was amazed at the variety of people who regularly used it. His observations are backed up by a recent survey conducted by a Lawrence graduate student.
The student, Nancy O'Connor, and five others surveyed 106 people at the Clinton Parkway path at peak exercise hours — before work, during the lunch hour, after work and weekends — to find out who uses the path and
O'Connor's findings indicate that 80 percent of the people who use the path use it consistently — three to seven times a week. And it is not only Lawrence residents who use the path. Ten percent come five miles or more from towns such as Topeka, Eudora and Baldwin City.
Most people said they chose the Clinton Parkway path rather than other Lawrence paths because it was paved and was fairly safe from
traffic. Eighty percent said they used the pathway more than they used any other path.
O'Connor said she, too, intended to go before the planning commission. She will present her findings in a six-page report.
"It would change the complexity of the parkway and zooparkage what we know."
Other bicyclists agree that the Clinton Parkway path is the best landmark.
Ron Lathrop, who works at Lawrence Schwinn Cyclery, 1601 W. 23rd St., and who signed one of Anderson's petitions there, said paths in Lawrence were not functional because a large number of walkers and runners also used them. He said the paths were not maintained — broken glass is common — and that there was no protection from cars making right-hand turns into the paths.
He said that although the Clinton Parkway path wasn't ideal for bicyclists interested in distance, it was the best Lawrence had and a mail could only hurt it.
