"The BIA is not a cure-all, but it has worked for us for 100 years."
Hawkins said the employees were not consulted on either bill and were told by the Haskell administration to stay neutral. Employees are afraid of being fired if they speak out, she said.
Both Winter and Slattery's office in Washington said the bills had been introduced on the request of college officials. They were a request of Regents and other Indian people.
Lie Heffernan, legislative assistant for Slattery, said the congressman consulted with the members of the Regents and attended an open forum on the bill at Haskell. Letters exchanged in that meeting out in late February to Haskell employees, alumni chapters, the Haskell Foundation and tribal
leaders.
Venida Chenaut, president of KU Intertribal Alliance, said that although Slattery came to the college in December to talk about his bill, he came too late. The visit came on the last day of finals at the college when many students and staff members already had left for semester break.
Calvin Dailey, a member of Haskell's Board of Regents, said the board never officially came out in favor of the Slattery bill and many weren't even invited to an open forum on the bill in December.
In response to the charges, Gerald Gipp, president of Haskell, said some people were confused over the real issue of the bills.
"Change is difficult," he said. "Change brings concerns."

economic activity you generate additional revenue."
But changing the reputation of Kansas takes more than just changing the liquor laws. Edmonds said
"Image is always much broader than one issue," he said. "There are a lot of things that contribute to a state's image."

Although pair-mutuel wagering and lottery also will appear on the November ballot, liquor by the drink may be the most visible image booster.
Edmonds said, "The key is: the race track is fun, buying a lottery ticket is great, but liquor and its ready access is a very concrete thing that people can see that is socially progressive.
"It's a fact of life that people are going to drink regardless of what the
But the liquor-by-the-drink effort comes in the midst of what Edmonds calls "neo-prohibitionist" legislation aimed at moderation.
The cycle began with a period of leniency in 1978, when laws about driving under the influence weren't as tough, club owners had fewer restrictions and the drinking age was lower, he said.
laws are."
That changed to a period of increased volunteerism with groups like Mothers Against Drunk Drivers, who worked to combat the perils of over-consumption, he said. The wave led to further controls.
In November, legislators will realize that Kansans don't want a dry state when voters approve liquor by the drink, he said.
drinking laws has been part of a tradeoff, lawmakers admit. They could go home to their constituents and say they had voted for liquor by the drink, but they could also say they couldn't toughen stands on drunken driving.
The legislative push for tougher
In last year's session, the House and Senate worked to stiffen laws, but this year was devoted to closing loopholes. The Senate was stepping laws and keeping promises.
Burke said that this year the laws had to be upheld so legislators could avoid looking foolish in their districts when the session was over.
During that session legislators approved a bill that says private club owners no longer can offer a drink for less than it cost the establishment. That means no more penny or dime draws.
Another measure allows police officers to administer preliminary breath tests before hauling drunken drivers to a police station.
But there are those who remain eternally opposed.
The Rev. Richard Taylor, a spokesman for Kansans for Life at Its Best, said people in the alcohol were "merchants of misery."
ATTENTION MINORITY GRADUATES
"I am working for less alcohol suffering that comes with less alcohol consumption," he said. "I am not afraid of prohibition, that's an ideal situation."
Are you graduating in Spring '86, Summer '86, and/or know someone who is a Fall '85 graduate? The Office of Minority Affairs is having its annual "Minority Graduation Banquet" to honor graduating students, on Saturday, May 17, from 4 to 6 p.m. in the Big Eight Room. Tickets can be picked up FREE of charge for graduates in 324 Strong Hall by May 9. Parents and guests can attend for $10 each.
Taylor said the image of Kansas should be based on a motto of responsibility — one that says "I'm a drunk drinker and I love Kansas."
