International Club Haskell Student Explains Indian Origins
Dau-ke (the Great Spirit) created the world—and he created the Indian to kill his loneliness, Miss Gloria Espinosa, a Haskell Institute student, told International Club members Saturday.
Speaking on "the spirit world of the Indians," Miss Espinosa, of the Pottawatomi tribe, said Dau-kew was lonesome, so he decided to create a perfect man to have power over the lesser animals.
She said Dau-ke constructed a big oven to bake a molded clay figure of a man. The first figure turned out pale in color and did not satisfy Dau-ke. He called him tah-koy-k'ee (white man). He tried again, but the figure was too dark so he called him kon-gen-on (Negro). He tried once again and was satisfied with the outcome. He called him ge-gool-daw (Indian), a perfect man.
"INDIANS BELIEVE that the Great Spirit has put power in every living thing." Miss Fainino said.
She told the audience of 400 that the white man came into this area with the gun in the early 1800's and forcibly settled on the Indian's land.
She said Indians introduced tobacco to the white man, when he came from Europe.
Miss Espinosa explained some traditional Indian cultures and customs to International Club members, who were observing "the American Indian Night."
OTHER SPEAKERS from the Haskell Institute and their topics were Rosemarie Powell, "The Indian in History"; Jack Medrano, "The Haskell Institute," and James Gibson, "My People, the Choctaws."
Miss Powell, of the Seminole tribe, said all Indian tribes are different from one another. They have different cultures, customs, dress,
and language. No two tribes are exactly alike.
Medrano, of the Mojave tribe, said the primary purpose of the Haskell Institute is to give vocational training to Indians. The Institute enables the students to have higher education and have good positions in the society.
GIBSON, of the Choctaw tribe, said his people have been getting four-year training at Haskell to face the problems of education and unemployment. He also described some of the Choctaw's games to the audience.
About 20 Haskell students performed traditional Indian dances and music, while wearing their traditional costumes.
Among the Indian dances were "Slow War," "Horse Tail," "Fast War," "Shield," "Round," "Eagle," "Solo War," and "49er."
Voting, Las Vegas Style
ST. LOUIS, Mo. — (UPI)— Voters in 11 precincts entered voting booths yesterday and found the machines offered "for" and "against" but failed to state the proposition.
Officials dispatched two repairmen to fix the machines and let citizens know they were voting on a proposed school tax increase.

Iowa Plane Crash Claims 4 Victims
FORT DODGE, Iowa — (UPI) Four persons were killed late last night when a light plane crashed on a farm while apparently trying to land at fog-shrouded Municipal Airport here.
The victims were two men and two women, but their names were not immediately known. Authorities said the four-passerian Piper plane was registered in Cincinnati, Ohio, registration No. N3632P.
The craft plowed through a wooded gully on the Donald Schmeideer farm about a half mile from the airport and crashed into a hog house about 75 feet from the farm home.

STELLE SAID the United States feels the exchange of letters between President Kennedy and Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev in January made plain that such an agreement had been reached.
GENEVEA — (UPI) The United States called on Russia again today to stop stalling at the 17-nation disarmament conference and agree to discussion of the major outstanding issues.
U. S. Ambassador Charles C. Stelle rejected Soviet charges that he is trying to sidetrack the nuclear test ban question into a maze of technical details.
"We have been operating on the principle of on-site inspections as a necessary — indeed essential — part of the verification system." Stelle told the conference.
He urged Soviet negotiator Semyon K. Tsarapkin to confirm the U.S. impression that the two sides had reached agreement on the principle of on-site inspections to police a test ban.
Russia Urged To Cooperate On Nuclear Test Ban Issue
In addition to the split on the
inspections question, the United States and Russia were reported in a new wrangle over how to move the conference into useful discussions.
Both powers wanted to switch the conference emphasis from the deadlocked nuclear issue to the broader area of general and complete disarmament, but they disagreed on what phase should be taken up first.
Stelle, making still another effort for progress on the important nuclear issue, appealed to Tsarapkin to go on to discussions of how inspections would be carried out instead of insisting on a prior decision on how many inspections are needed.
