Haskell rites celebrate Indian heritage
By BONAR MENNINGER Staff Reporter
Before the sun came out on the edge of Lawrence, a small group of people gathered around a crackling campfire, its orange flames pushing back
clanging at the edge of the fire, Jim Ironshell, a Sloux, and George Toddhippon, a Comanche, prayed to the Indian dead lying buried nearby and sang together in their ancient tongues.
Soon the chill of night began to fade as sunup approached, and the gathering listened to the last high, mournful notes roll out across the prairie.
Placing boughs of edel on the fire, one of the men told the crowd, "We are not medicine men, we are warriors." We follow this road. "Smoke circled up from the fire."
So began observances last Friday of American Indian day at Haskell Indian Junior College, a day for native Americans and others to remember the heritage of Indians in the United States.
EVENTS THROUGHOUT the day on the campus included tours of the school, movies, Indian food, dancing, costumes and games. This is the second year the holiday has been observed at the school.
The ceremony at dawn was to honor Indian students who, in the school's earlier years, had died of sickness and were buried nearby.
Later in the day, Donald and Roene Schonberg of Lawrence spoke about the morning service.
"We are trying to learn more about the people among us," Schonberg said as he and his wife emerged from a conference in American contributions to American culture.
"We had never been to anything like that." Mrs. Schonberg said.
"They were very cordial to us, being outsiders as we were," Schonberg added.
ACROSS THE COMMON, a group of laughing Navaho Indians were playing shoe games, the object being to discover a walnut hidden in one of them.
Elaine Yellowhorse, a Haskell student from Chinle, Ariz., said the
game was originally a mythical contest between the forces of day and night.
"if the day people won, then it would be daylight all the time. If the night people won, then it would be night." Yellowhorse said.
She said the people of the day and night eventually tied so a comprimise was reached — and the present cycle of day and night was achieved.
Nearby, tacos made by Navaho students, the largest tribe in the country, were available. The Navaho tacos were similar to large tostados, with meat and vegetables piled high on a slab of fried bread.
In the evening, a colorful traditional dress review was held in the school's auditorium before a full house. The students gave brief descriptions of their costumes.
Tadhoonippam amused the crowd with humorous anecdotes about his nun-dancers costume.
THE STUDENT said the white breastplate and other parts of his outfit were made by various relatives and were given to him.
"This scarf I bought at TG&Y,"
Tahdoonippah said, amid laughter from the audience.
After the dress review ended, spectators filed across to the gymnasium to await the beginning of the powwow.
Many of the dresses worn by female students had symbolic meaning in the patterns or lines on the cloth. The dress of a Kickapoo student had colored stripes, by which the tribal should tell the birth order of the wearer.
In the center of the gym, six Indian men surrounded a large drum and began to pound out a rhythm and sing "Bombay warbling" with yelps and cries.
Soon dancers began to drift out onto the floor, the women shuffling rhythmically along while Tahdoonippin in his sandwainers outfit stalked the outside of the circle, cooking his head like that of a large bird of prey.
EVENTUALLY, eight men and 16 women in traditional costumes were twisting and turning to the drum beat.
One of the female dancers was Vi Holt, the great-great-granddaughter of Chief Joseph, a famous leader of the Nex Perce tribe.
KU to request state funds for new library

Lack of space in KU libraries has prompted the University to repeat a request for state funds to build a new building, the dean of libraries said yesterday.
"We'll be just about out of storage space in a compartment of years," said Jim Horn.
The recently completed renovation of Waison Library did not increase storage space in the building, but only modernized the existing facilities, he
One answer to the space problem is the new library, listed as a $20,117,000 appropriation on KU's legislative budget requests for fiscal year 1984. The new building would contain about 134,000 gross square feet and has been one of KU's budget requests for a couple of years, Ranz said.
THE NEW LIBRARY probably would be built between Murphy Hall,
Hoch Auditorium and Malott Hall, said George Woodyard, associate vice chancellor for research, graduate studies and public service.
Woodyard said the west library had been a "very high priority" them for a few years.
The Legislature will consider the request sometime in May when it decides KU's budget allocations for the fiscal year ending in June 1983.
But Robert Cobb, executive vice chancellor, said he thought the appropriation would not be passed during the state's budget in use of the state's tight budget this year.
Cobb said the new library facilities probably would not be a high priority item with the Legislature in the wake of the state's money problems.
WATSON LIBRARY receives about 60,000 new books a year, which take up about 5,000 to 10,000 square feet, Ranz said.
He said microfilm was not the answer to the lack of storage space problem

WATSON LIBRARY would be able to house the humanities literature, Woodyard said. The whole library system is efficient with the new facility, he said.
Other library additions listed in the requests are a 38,000 gross square feet addition to Watson library and renovation of the library in Lippincott Hall, which would add 7,680 gross square feet.
these would bring the total library additions to $2,770,000, for the 1984 fiscal year. The budget requests for the college included $3,014,000 for the 1982 fiscal year.

because most books were not available on microfilm. And to get a book on microfilm is usually more expensive than buying it in book form, he said.
Jenne Richardson, science librarian in Malott Hall, said the science library would probably run out of space in three to four years. The science library takes up about 50 percent of the sixth floor of Malott, she said.
If approved, it probably would be used for the professional schools. Kanz

Talented dogs take to the air in South Park Frisbee match
Sat. 10-2

Nervous contestants sat, then stood,
then sat again. A few found comfort
under trees. Some rolled in the grass.
All were anxious for the contest to
For any time from three weeks to three years, these athletes had been in training. Most were in prime condition, weighing from 20 to 80 pounds. And most were used-countless hours prior they were ready to prove what they could do.
Thev came to play.
Fierce competitors growled at each other, the crowd of almost 160 fell silent and the announcer's voice rang out clear. The first participant was applauded.
BOOMER, a 3/12-year-old black mix who lives at 1145 Hilltop Road with the Stansfer family, had one minute to catch a Frisbee as many times as he
Eight dogs were entered in the tournament, sponsored by Cycle Dog Food and the Lawrence department of parks and recreation.
"Boomer." he said.
The dogs aspired to imitate world-famous Ashley Whippe, who first gained recognition by catching Frisbee during halftime of a 1974 exhibition football game in Los Angeles.
Karen Stansifer stood in the middle of a circle and threw, trying not to overextend Boomer, but trying for a high point total. The throws were worth one point if caught inside the circle, two points if caught outside and three points if the dog could catch the disc while he was in the air.
THERE WASN'T Nikki the Wonder Dog,
424 Mississippi St., a 4-year-old collie
and black Labrador mix who had been working out every day for the past three years with his owner-trainers, Matt and Maver Graher, KU seniors.
“It’s his whole life,” Mather said. “We work out three or four times a day. He has placed in some regional schools, we’ve never quite made it to the top.
Another 4-year-old mix, Mindy, came to compete from Eudora with Dennis and Denise Grow.
"As soon as she sees a Frisbee she gets excited," Mary Graver said. "We've been gearing her up for this for the last few weeks."
"We started feeding him in a Frisenie." Mulanix said. "He gets really excited about it. I want to enter him in the nationals."
"She should handle the crowd all right, but the other dogs might cause a problem," she said.
BRANDY AND BOSTON, son of months old, watched the competition with their owner, Bo Marche, Lawrence freshman. 817 E. 13 St.
YODOG, a 3 1/2 year old mix owned and managed by Rick Mather, Prairie Village, has been in training since he was 6 months old and was the invitational's only veteran of Frisbee contests.
"It's about five pounds over weight now. In the spring I'll start him on a low-calorie diet."
Brett Mulenix, McLouth, said his 3-year-old black Labrador, Dillon, was raised with Frisbees.
March said his dogs could play with balls and twigs now, but were not ready for Frisbees.
After two rounds, which took a little more than an hour, the winners were announced: Yodog, with 194 points, took first place, with Nicki the Wonder Dog, 142 points, runner-up.
