Indians called white man's saviors
Staff Writer

Indiang will be the saviers of the white man, White Cloud, an American Indian, said Saturday night in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union.
White Cloud, an Iowa, Otoe, Creek and Seminole Indian from Tulsa, said that even though the whites conquered the Indians, the Seminoles had not done because they had neither tradition nor roots.
BOYD, WHO RESEARCHES cross-cultural communication with the Menniger Foundation in Topeka, said the Cross-Cultural Study Program at Menniger's women denominators, to promote cross-cultural understanding and to promote transcultural understanding. The hypothesis behind the search for common denominators is that people have similar reasons for their costumes and customs.
White Cloud's comments followed a talk by Doug Boyd. The talk was sponsored by the Lawrence Growth Center, a nonprofit organization which sponsors workshops and speakers concerning the human potential movement.
Boyd is the author of two books. One is a and the other is an account of the healing powers of the Cherokee Medicine Man Rolling Thunder. Boyd is now writing a book about the prophecies of Mad Bear and other Native American spiritual leaders.
THE TITLE of this latest book, "Fourth
World," refers to the new era Native Americans think the world is entering. Boyd said the transition period into the fourth world "will look to us (white people) like tragedy, with earthquakes and other natural disasters that the Indians see as purifications."
Indians understand changes in the world because they have a close relationship with nature, Boyd said. They have lived in nature, observed it and are part of it.
"What was prophecy is now history," boy said, noting the moor landing, which the villagers had discovered earlier.
to talk about their beliefs with other people, are eager to share their prophecies and understanding of nature, and to explain the nature of other people are prepared for the coming age, Boyd said.
Now the Indians, who usually are hestant
White Cloud told the audience how they could cross the bridge into the new era.
"The only way to live is within," white Cloud said. "You must learn to discipline your body and your mind to make your soul come alive."
White Cloud told the audience to "go back and live your religion, whether it be Christian or Jewish or Moslem. Follow the laws."
Task force to review African studies plan
A task force to review KU's African studies curriculum was appointed last week by Jacob Gordon, director of the African studies program.
The task force, which had been planned since the beginning of the semester, is the first at to study the effects of an intervention program the entire University, Gordon said Friday.
The group will consider the role the professional schools of social welfare, engineering, education, journalism and business, play in African studies.
It will also review University course offerings in African, Afro-American and Caribbean studies in conjunction with conde"s an academic institution including study abroad in Africa and the Caribbean.
By May 1977, Gordon said, he is to receive a summary report and recommendations on KU's African studies program, concentrating on new programs.
Community fair launches resource learning center
Gordon said he used faculty opinions to choose task force members.
Those selected were Tom Lewin, assistant professor of history and African studies; Elizabeth Schultz, associate professor of English; Dorothy Pennington, assistant professor of speech and drama and African studies; John Young, Kansas City, Kan., graduate student; Jeffrey Meeting; Harold Hardang, assistant professor of social welfare; and Richard Sheridan, professor of economics.
Balloons, bluesgrass music and pantomime artists combined to create a circus atmosphere Saturday afternoon at the Community School of the Arts. The Community School, 101 N. Lawrence Ave.,
Colorful displays gave parents and children an opportunity to learn about the joys of jumping from "jungle" into a "pillow."
More than 400 people found out how much fun learning could be as they got hands-on with the new app.
An African studies student, who hasn't been chosen, will also serve on the tank
The Fair was a kick-off event for the Community Learning Center, 1204 Oread Ave, a learning resource clearinghouse for parents, teachers, students and other community members concerned with learning.
The Center, a nonprofit organization, is an outgrowth of teacher centers, a concept that originated in Greenwich Village. The centers are now in almost every major American city, she said.
Bob Hubert, center director and Garden City graduate student, said Saturday that the purpose of the Center was to foster creative teaching methods, encourage new learning environments and centers and share materials and ideas in the Center Resource Library, a monthly newsletter and the ideas exhibit exchange.
KU has had an African studies program since 1870.
Hubert said the center also encouraged an exchange of ideas within the learning community, including KU, Haskell Indian Junior College, and private schools, public schools, daycare centers and preschools. A major focus of the center besides participation by professional educators, is community involvement. Hubert said.
Creation of materials emphasized the use of such inexpensive, simple, recycled materials as paper, cardboard, magazines, wood and various containers, he said.
Dolores Tolar, Center coordinator, said, "We want community involvement from the ground floor up. We have so many rich community resources."

The familiar blue and red trash barrels scattered across campus may soon be replaced by concrete and rock containers.
The department of buildings and grounds construction crew has built two different cement containers, each with an exposed rock aggregate finish, Rodger Oroke, director of facilities and operations in the department, said Friday.
"We're now trying to develop a way to make the containers in the cheapest, quickest way possible," he said.
Members of the administration saw some concrete and rock trash containers at the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City, Mo., and asked buildings and grounds to design a similar, cheaper container for KU, Oroke said.
The construction crew made the trash containers for from $65 to $75, less than half the $155 to $165 cost of commercially manufactured containers, he said.
"If this project goes full scale," Oroke said, "we'll develop a permanent form and build 150 or more to replace the 54 red and blue barrels now on campus."
The barrels would be used more often, Oroke said, if they were strategically placed near the campus and were more secure than the new containers 800 to 700 pounds.
Oroke said the crew was taking its time developing the containers and wasn't working on the project at the expense of other jobs.
