Women discuss minority concerns
By Ashlee Roll Kansan staff writer
Grades, self-esteem and personal challenges are problems many students face. For minority students, racism can add to those difficulties.
Such issues were discussed Wednesday night by a group of seven women at Women of Color; Let's Talk About Personal and Academic Concerns, a seminar held at the Pine Room in the Kansas Union.
A group of women participate in a discussion, Women of Color; Let's Talk About Personal and Academic Concerns. The seminar, conducted by Barbara Ballard, director of the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, was a chance for women to discuss problems they faced living in a university community and receive feedback from fellow students. The group gathered Wednesday night in the Pine Room at the Kansas Union.
"It's like therapy," said Ustee Grass, Olla Olla, senior.
Barbara Ballard, director of the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, said everyone needed someone to care about what they did academically and personally.
"We need to listen to problems and then give feedback on how to solve them," she said.
The group consisted of five African-American and two Native-American women who shared problems, ideas and thoughts about living within a university community.
Some of the women expressed a desire to merge existing minority groups together to make changes on campus.
"It's hard to sit in a Western Civ class and hear history about your people when they are described as savages," said Elyse Towey, Lawrence junior and member of the Native-American Students Association. "These professors are people who have Ph.D.s and shape our views who say tiny racist remarks and get away with it on a college campus in 1996."
"African Americans, Asians, LesBiGays and everyone else need to come together as one voice and one power group." Grass said.
But Ballard pointed out that many minority students were reluctant to become involved.
"When you are tired of the system and you can't make changes, it's because you are working outside the system," Ballard said. "In order to make changes, you have to get
involved and work inside the system." Ballard also said minority students needed to give others reinforcement.
"What have you done on campus lately to make other students come here?" she asked. "What are you going to leave behind for those who follow you?"
Ballard suggested the women help younger students in the way they would have wanted to be helped earlier in their college careers.
Towey said she enjoyed the seminar because she connected with others who faced the same challenges she did.
Ballard said the ideal location for learning about the subject was a university because a campus was a learning environment.
"This is not a perfect campus, but it's not the worst," she said. "It's the people that are a part of it that make a place."
Alumnus donates funds for new lecture series
By Megan Jordan Kansan staff writer
Everyone at the University of Kansas has the opportunity to benefit from money given to the School of Business.
KU alumnus Anderson W. Chandler, and his wife, Patricia H. Chandler, donated securities valued at nearly $505,200 to establish the Anderson Chandler Lecture Series. The series will bring one or two nationally known speakers to the University each year.
Thomas Sarowski, dean of the business school, said that although the speakers would be associated with business, they would appeal to all students.
"Many fields across the University lead to careers that involve or are impacted by business," he said.
Longtime supporters of the University, the Chandlers have given many gifts. Anderson Chandler is a member of the School of Business Advisory Board and of the Dean's Club of the business school.
"It's not a surprise to me that Mr. Chandler would want to support the business school in some way," Sarowski said.
Sarowski said he hoped to start the series this spring but, depending on the availability of the speaker, it might not start until Fall 1997. He and Chandler are seeking candidates for the inaugural lecture. The choices are not limited exclusively to business executives,
Sarowski said. Anyone who has expert knowledge of the field, such as an analyst or member of the media, and has high name recognition will be considered.
Sarowski said students would benefit from hearing outstanding individuals in business and from having the opportunity to learn from their experiences. He also expects the lecture series to be beneficial for the University's image.
"When you have a distinctive speaker, it reflects credit on the institution that sponsors the event," he said. "It says the speaker sees the institution as worthy of their interest and involvement."
Along with national recognition, Sarowksi said the series should build pride in the University community and in the state of Kansas.
Andrea Selucky, Cologne, Germany, junior, has attended other business lectures and enjoyed hearing what corporations look for when interviewing business students. She assumed the Chandler series would be equally enlightening.
During the past two years, the business school has brought Sen. Nancy Kassebaum, R-Kan., and Bob Eaton, chairman and CEO of Chrysler corporation, to the University through different lecture series.
"In a year and a half I'll be looking for a job, and I need to make contact with some of these people," she said.

Six students will travel to presidential debates
Six KU students will get a chance to watch the presidential race unfold in person.
They are headed to the two presidential and the vice presidential debates as a part of Debate Watch '96, a communications studies department project.
Diana Carlin, associate professor of communication studies, leads the project. One graduate student and one undergraduate student will accompany Carlin to each debate.
Tom Moore, Lawrence junior,
and Susan Buehler, Lawrence
graduate student, will attend the
Oct. 6 presidential debate in Hartford,
Conn. Tammy Vigil, Pueblo,
Colo., graduate student, and Scott
Sponholtz, Lawrence junior, will represent the University at the Oct. 9 vice presidential debate in St. Petersburg, Fla., and Jarius
Jones, Kansas City, Kan., junior,
and Kelly McDonald, Lawrence
graduate student, will watch the
second presidential debate on Oct.
16 at the University of San Diego.
The project sends packets to people who watch the debates in person. The recipients then discuss the debates in small groups, fill out the information packets and send them back to Debate
Watch, which collects and analyzes the information.
"The students will be collecting data and conducting Debate Watch focus groups after the debates," Carlin said.
Vigil said she was looking forward to the experience.
"It's a great way to meet other people in the field," she said. "It will be great experience researching, and it will be exciting to watch the debates unfold in person."
Carlin said the students were hired because of their performance in classes.
Vigil said she had been doing a variety of activities for the Debate Watch.
"I've had all of them in my classes, and they've proven themselves to be good students and good researchers." Carlin said.
"I've been sending out packets, conducting research on former debates, and I also answer questions sent to us to our e-mail," Vigil said.
The students have been working on the project since July, and Vigil said that their work was not likely to stop after the debates.
"After the debates, we will collect the data for a book that will be published," Vigil said. "Hopefully things will slow down some, but we probably won't be finished until next August."
