Mental health grant awarded
Charles K. Warriner, professor of sociology, was awarded a $6,871 grant from the National Institute of Mental Health to conduct research aimed at determining "sources of strain in the university."

Indian seminar scheduled
A Student/Faculty seminar subtitled "The question is not how you can Americanize us, but how we can Americanize you" is scheduled for March 13 in the Kansas Union Big Eight Room, Dennis Dailey, assistant professor of social welfare, said Wednesday. He said the seminar is being sponsored by the School of Social Welfare to deal with issues concerning American Indians.
"The goal is to acquaint people not only with the problems of Indians but also to attend to potential solutions," Dailey said.
The 20th Century life style on the American Indian and institutional racism will be discussed at the seminar. Other problems to be discussed are cultural conflict, the decision facing Indian youths to retain Indian traditions or accept the White culture, and problems relating to reservation and urban life. Dailey said the panels will also deal with the issue of the American Indian as a member of a poverty subculture.
Dailey said the featured speaker will be Mrs. Mary Cornelius, Tribal Chairman of the Little Shell Ojibwa Indian reservation in North Dakota. A youth panel, composed of six Indians from urban areas and reservations, and a panel of adult Indians will also participate in the seminar, he said.

"The United States government

has been very unfaithful in dealing with the Indian," he said. "Over 200 treaties have been made by the government and not one has been kept."
Dailey said the government's laxity in dealing with Indians has fostered their distrust of the Bureau of Indian Affairs. He said the government is also responsible for the Seminoles in Florida still considering themselves at war with the U.S. Government.
"This is the year of the Indian," Dailey said, "and I hope they can capitalize on it."
Haworth Hall to be leveled
Old Haworth Hall is to come down. Bids on the contract for razing are to be opened at 2 p.m. today in Topeka.
The now vacant Haworth was acquired in 1909, according to the KU financial report. It is to be torn down to make way for Wescoe Hall, the new humanities building planned for construction in Wescoe hole across from Strong Hall.
The demolition job is to be completed within 60 days of the contract assignment. Allen Wiechert, assistant to Vice Chancellor Keith Lawton said. A part of the structure to be saved is the parapet with "Geology and Mining" imprinted on it. One suggestion is that it be used in some fashion in connection with the State Geological Survey building.
