April 8. 1988 New task force meets By Kathleen Faddis Kansan staff writer The members of KU's Minority Issues Task Force met for the first time yesterday morning during breakfast at the Kansas Union. Judith Ramaley, executive vice chancellor and task force chairman, said that the main purpose of the meeting was to get members acquainted with one another and to ask them to sign up for one of four subcommittees. The 22-member task force was proposed by Chancellor Gene A. Budig on February 17 after students and community leaders protested a scheduled appearance of Ku Klux Klan members on campus. The subcommittees will: · look at findings and recommend actions to the committees, and task forces. - interview leaders of departments and governance groups that have some responsibility for minority concerns. - meet with students and student organizations that represent or include minority students. - look at recruitment and retention minority faculty students and staff Ramaley said that the subcommittees would meet separately in the next two weeks and would set their own agendas. The task force will reconvene in May to hear the subcommittee reports.

My intention is to make sure Jason Krakow, student body president and task force member said, "Every element in the University needs to take a serious look at what elements of segregation may still be there. We need to know that all elements will also take a personal look at what they can do to create better relations." Mary Padilla, Overland Park senior and task force member, said the creation of the task force was a priority because priority relations are improving at KU. "I think things are getting better because a better networking system is starting and more lines of communication are opening up," Padilla said. School reps visit future teachers By Michael Carolan Kansan staff writer Buchanan was one of about 150 graduating education majors that spent yesterday in Allen Field House looking at more than 50 school districts from California to Florida for a possible job next fall.

"The interviews aren't the pressure of being the final applicants, but you do want to look your best." Buchanan, Arkansas City graduate student, said that he wanted to interview with as many districts as he had time for. For some, the day was encouraging; for others, it was tiring but productive. "It's a great place to get to talk to a lot of schools all at one time," said Martha Mears, Goddard graduate student, who interviewed with more than seven school districts. The placement center has don a good job organizing this. Terry Glenn, assistant director of the University Placement Center, said that the districts interviewed "The school districts are trying to develop a pool of candidates," Glenn said.

This gives them a chance to find some likely candidates." students to find potential candidates for teaching positions in their districts. Although most students who participated during the day were fifth-year education students ready to be certified teachers, some were graduates still looking for jobs and students who got their degrees at other institutions, Glenn said. Schools varying in size from small, rural Kansas schools with 500 students to urban districts with more than 500,000 students were represented. "I really wanted to get as wide an experience as possible," said Marin Oldridge, Glen Mills, Pa., graduate student, who planned to interview with eight school districts. By late afternoon, Kristie Calohan, Lawrence graduate student, was tired after 11 interviews. "It's really confusing," she said. "I've seen so many people, and I don't remember anyone's name. I don't know what I'll do if something comes out of this and I have to make a choice." Want To Be A Train Ride Away From New York City?

STARTS APRIL 15th AT THEATRES EVERYWHERE. In the 1960's an actor/director went looking for America—and created a new kind of film. The man was Dennis Hopper. Easy Rider was the film that defined an era. As an actor and director, he has always gone to the edge, taking us places wed never seen before. Easy Rider. Blue Velvet. Rivers Edge. Now, in 1988, we find director Dennis Hopper in the streets of Los Angeles. In a war zone where gang members and innocent people alike are killed over territorial emblems of red and blue Over COLORS. And again, he takes us places we've never seen before with the first realistic motion picture about the war against street gangs. To do it he has brought together an extraordinary cast and crew. All of them sharing a fierce devotion to the director's vision. And leading the cast, two motion picture actors of unparalleled intensity Sean Penn and Robert Duvall. A ROBERT H.
