CRC supports Nisqually cause
The plight of the Nisqualai Indians in Washington State yesterday became the concern of KU Civil Rights Council (CRC
A court injunction severa curtailing the fishing rights these Indians was criticized members at a meeting in Kansas Union yesterday.
Neil Stone, Shawnee Missi on freshman and president of CR C, said that the body would cor pose an official letter supporti g the Indians' position.
THE COURT INJUNCTIC N disregards the Medicine Cre ek Treaty of 1854 under which tne Nisqually and other tribes ga ve up millions of acres in return or a small reservation and fish i ng rights.
The court held that the Indians were ruining the fishing (thus in chief livelihood), and so imposed the injunction. The Indians blamed the industrial pollution, and have cried the court order.
As a result, police launch es have rammed and crushed the Indians' frail canoes and have confiscated their fishing gear. The Indians are too poor to replace ce the gear or to pay bail.
Their case has been taken ip by trade unions and Negro fr e dom movements, and interest is being aroused throughout the world.
From a vote taken the pre ious meeting, the CRC will ncern itself in future only w th racial rights at a local or natio al level, Stone said. Such issues as "in loco parentis" would not in future be considered within the scope of CRC
STONE ALSO SAID that
the
next step should be to align with a national organization. He listed the advantages as being; informed on national projects; deriving financial benefits; and finding out what's going on in other parts of the nation.
Answering a question about the racial coding directive issued by the state, Stone said Cancellor W. Clarke Wescoe had promised to write to the Kansas Civil Rights Commission about the directive, but Stone did not know if this has yet been done.
Stone also expressed approval of a motion from the floor to adopt a written constitution. The motion was passed unanimously, and a committee will be set up to achieve this.

MASTERWORK for only $1 9900
In a meeting last night, SDS members decided to invite the San Francisco Miner's Troup, for a performance prior to final week. The program, dubbed "Jim Crow A Go-Go," satirizes the present day life of the Negro.
A country minstrel show, "Civil Rights in a Crackerbarrel," hopefully will be brought to the KU campus by the chapter of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) as a fund-raising project.
(nationally advertised at $235.00)
"The troup has a good theatrical reputation from their performances in California," said Rich Hill, Lawrence junior.

"WE ARE PLEASED to have received nine more awards than the 20 we were originally allotted," Smith said. "This support was in addition to the initial grant of $17,000 from NDEA funds to support the Institute," he said.
SDS hopes to sponsor minstrels
Seven KU undergraduates are among the 29 recipients of National Defense Foreign Language scholarships for the study of Chinese or Japanese in KU's 1966 summer Intensive Language Program.
"We are particularly interested in students who have not had any Chinese or Japanese," Smith continued. "The summer is a fine time to begin the serious study of an Oriental language."
