Film examines education proposal
By Amber Bylaray
abyarley@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
A Board of Education member's attempt to keep some immigrant children out of public schools has pushed a University of Kansas staff member to make a documentary.
Ranjit Arab, a University staff member, said he was surprised by how little people were discussing board member Connie Morris' proposal to limit immigrant students' access to public schools. Morris ran on a platform that would remove the children of undocumented workers or illegal immigrants from Kansas public schools.
Arab's film, El Jardin, was made during the Spring 2003 semester. Arab decided to make the video after reading about Morris' campaign in Kansas newspapers.
Morris also suggested creating
an English immersion program for students who would have to learn English as a second language. In Morris' plan, children would have one year to understand English or they would not be admitted into public schools. Removing these children from public schools is against a Supreme Court ruling and is illegal right now.
"I couldn't believe it was going on and I wanted to add my two cents into the discussion," Arab said.
Arab traveled to Garden City, where minorities outnumber Caucasians. Garden City is also represented by Morris in Kansas' fifth district.
Morris could not be reached for comment.
While in Garden City, Arab interviewed residents to let them talk about how they felt about the issue. Arab also spent time in a Garden City elementary school that taught children who would

be affected by Morris' platform.
"I feel one of the best ways to advocate this subject is to show these kids," Arab said.
Lentendre said that she was teaching a form of social work practice where social workers learned to understand issues so they could help children. Lentendre said she hoped showing the film would make her students aware of the issue presented in the film.
The film's first screening was yesterday morning in Joan Lentendre's social work practice in schools class. Lentendre, assistant professor of social welfare, said she showed the film because her class was discussing advocacy.
Daynen Lalicker, Topeka graduate student, watched the film in Lentendre's class. Lalicker said the film made her realize how little she had paid attention to the Board of Education race.
"It made me realize I need to focus on all areas of politics, especially education," Lalicker said. "I have a child and I should look at it now and not when she's ready to go to school."
The movie will be shown next on Wednesday, Sept. 17 at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries.

Nina Kinti-Moss applauded the completion of the naturalization ceremony Thursday afternoon at the Dole Institute.
CITIZEN: Anniversary brings joy

She said she was nervous about becoming a citizen on the two-year anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and did not feel like celebrating because of the effect it had on the entire world.
"Humans can face difficult moments," Kinti-Moss said.
During the ceremony, each candidate for citizenship stood as their name, occupation and country of origin was announced.
Judge Deanell Reece Tacha, who presided over the ceremony, then asked the candidates to renounce any allegiances to foreign nations and pledged all their allegiances to the United States.
For Kinti-Moss, that was not only the first moment that she could call herself an American, but the first moment she was legally Nina Kinti-Moss. She petitioned to change her name

from Martina Masaquiza to her Quechua Indian name when she was naturalized. Nina Kinti is a name her parents gave her when she was a child.
Many families and friends lingered outside the Dole Institute after the ceremony to take pictures with the flag-franked reflection pool in the background.
Kinti-Moss had been alone at the ceremony — her husband had to work and her son was in class. She shuffled away quickly, though; her satisfaction with becoming a citizen was private, but no less fulfilling.
FUNDS: Alumni unaware of need
because the donor or Seuferling don't have the best intentions. Seuferling didn't know there was a demand for the pledge card so soon.

"It's not in our general interest to say, 'We need your answer by September 20th,' " he said.

saut.
Without the extra $500,000, the project would either need to be downsized or donations sought.
"It's not easy to come up with $500,000," Seuferling said. "I've tried this summer."
Seufering said fundraising required education as well.
"If you're a member of the class of '65, or '72, or '81, you don't know what a Multicultural Resource Center is," Seuferling said. "There wasn't one when you were on campus."
"Some people are interested in the general concept of the center but they say 'No, I want to give this to students; I want to give it to minority students, I want to fund scholarships, I don't want to build a room,' " Seuferling said.
For many potential donors, scholarships are more of a priority. Seuferling said.
But Bell thinks the building is fundamental.
"If we don't have a place that students can see on campus that

serves their needs, really the goals of the MRC have less of a chance of being met." Bell said.
The group of students that has been working on the project has been waiting to suggest programming. Bell said the provost suggested waiting to form the project committee consisting of students and faculty. They would work on those issues until the donations were secured.
Seuferling isn't opposed to a committee of this sort. For this project, he's readily available. He called Bell the moment he heard it was an option. If there was a meeting coming up, he said he would like to be invited. He's ready to act.
"If there is an interest or a need to get the written pledge from the donor, we can pursue that." Seuferling said.
Bell is just waiting for the provost's go ahead for a faculty and student planning committee.
Until then, the student MRC group will meet with Seferling to keep the project rolling.
"I don't fully understand why we have to wait since we do know for sure that the donor is donating a million dollars," Bell said.

LEGEND: Masturbator returns

males — hardly uncommon in a college town in Kansas.
"Yeah, we've got a few of those here," Bailey said.
Over the past three years, there have been 12 cases of indecent exposure, eight of which involved lewd behavior such as masturbation. Jayhawk Boulevard was the most common spot for such activity.
Dennis Dailey, professor of
For as long as Dailey can remember, there has been a campus masturbator.
He said in his 35 years at the University not a year had gone by when exhibitionists hadn't exposed themselves on campus.
social welfare, said that odds were there may be two or three exhibitionists living on campus.
The difference between exhibitionists and streakers is that
exhibitionists habitually expose themselves for sexual gratification, while streakers are usually just pulling a prank or doing it on a dare.
"The man or woman out streaking across the football field isn't trying to get their jolls off" he said.
Dailey said that exhibitionists tended to come from sexually repressive families, were detached from understanding sexuality and lacked good social skills. However, they are often married with children in
generally stable families.
The reasons someone would become an exhibitionist were extraordinarily complex, he said, but he would be glad to refer anyone with exhibitionistic tendencies to someone who could help them.
"It's important to get help as soon as possible," Dailey said. "The more an exhibitionist exposes himself, the better chance he has of getting caught and facing criminal charges."
