The new Minority Student Resource Center was scheduled to open this week on the third floor of the Kansas Union. But the bare walls, empty door casing and dirty, broken tile floor showed that the Center's debut had been postponed.
In fact, it may be spring semester before business for the center can begin.
Rodney Dennis, chairman of the Minority Affairs Subcommittee of the Student Senate which is in charge of the center, said last week that he wanted to wait for unity to break out. He opened the center, and that he wanted the group to have realistic plans and goals.
Dennis said it was essential that the center's opening be a well-timed, well-planned and well-organized event that reflected the identity and meaningful picture to the University.
Dennis said the center should avoid being unprepared, a problem that had unintended consequences.
Minority students at the University of Kansas, like those at Brown and Emory universities where Dennis previously went to school have seen the up-and-down cycle of minority activity repeated so often that they are skeptical new ventures, he said.
"I've seen cycles come and go. Experience has taught me to stop the problem."
The subcommittee thus wants to develop the center into a functioning body that is representative of and responsive to all minority students, he said.
MARY STUART, Greensboro, N.C., junior and public relations director for the subcommittee, said that the staff was working with the Chicano and Native Armored organizations and institutions in black block organization to encourage ideas from all concerned groups.
As soon as a program with tangible goals is developed, the resource center will begin to deliver them.
One tangible goal, Dennis said, is the elimination of "apathy about the concerns of minority students" by giving minorities access to KU's decision-making process.
MINORITY STUDENTS at KU need access to power if they are to overcome the "benign neglect" apparent in every area of University functioning, he said.
Dennis said the Minority Affairs Subcommittee had a distinct advantage over previous minority organizations on campus, because it has direct contact with the administration, the Student Senate, black faculty and staff, and minority groups.
TEDDE TASHEFF, student body president, said the Student Senate, in the fall of 195, invited interested minority students to brainstorming sessions to the problem and needs of minorities. The committee resulted from these meetings.
Tasheff said the Senate launched these sessions because it wanted to have stronger minority representation in student government and to develop better overall relations.
She said the Senate supported the subcommittee and thought it would be an asset
Dennis said he be thought contacts and
subscriptions would help the subcommittee survive.
However, Dennis said he disliked the idea of the tutoring missions for or in-icing students.
"IF THE SENATE thinks it has a better insight into minority problems than we do, then we have a mix-up," he said. "Our senate is not the same as our people are been beautiful. I must recommend them."
Stuart said the subcommittee was developing the budget for the center. Possible participants for a proposed study are also being reviewed, she said.
Other tentative plans include fall and spring orientation programs for incoming students, and workshops and symposiums with minority problems at the University.
"We want everyone to feel free to come in and give suggestions or discuss problems," she said. "We are here to help."

Omega Fli Fridnight members made friends Friday night by making children at the Ballard Community Center shudder with terror and delight.
Frat treats 40 children with party
About 40 children celebrated Halloween at the center with sack races, bags of candy and a haunted house, all sponsored by the fraternity.
Basketball and softball teams are being considered, he said, and the fraternity is also thinking of starting a choir and a Boy Scout troop.
The Halloween party was the first of several activities planned by the fraternity for the center, Michael Bryant, Omega Psi Phi president, said.
The center's basement, which served as a haunted house, featured masked men and other surprises, backed by shrieks and screams supplied by fraternity members.
A Big Brother program was started three weeks ago by the fraternity, and fraternity members are planning to take their Little League team and to KU basketball players, Bryant写。
