Kansan staff writer
Proper recruitment and retention of minority students paves the way for a multicultural campus, said the school's faculty affairs at a meeting yesterday.
By Lara Gold
Sherwood Thompson, director of minority affairs, said the meeting with representatives of campus minority groups was to update students on current programs in his office.
"We want KU to adapt to the theme, "We are one community," "he said.
Thompson said he was inspired by the camaraderie of the KU basketball team, and everybody should be a part of working for a multi-national camps.
minority affairs, said enhancing minority retention at the University of Kansas was a primary concern.
Sylvia Suarez, assistant director of
She said STEP, Students Together Excelling as Peers, was a program targeted at freshman and transfer priority students to increase retention.
The program pairs a new student with a peer adviser to help make the student familiar with University life.
London Bonds, program assistant for minority affairs, said retention of minority students was one of the factors in the 1991-92 minority student directory.
"It is our hope that it is a user-friendly directory that is especially helpful to incoming students." she said.
Bonds said the directory would include demographic and ethnic
information as well as a student's special skills, major and other interests so that new minority students could meet students who could help them academically and socially.
Norma Norman, associate director of minority affairs, said the office's Outreach Program encouraged junior high school students in the Kansas City, Kan., area to start thinking about college.
"One of the components of the Outreach Program is career awareness," she said. "College counselors are a key component of the Outreach Program."
John Lewis, executive board member of Black Men of Today, said he had not been satisfied with recruitment at KU but credited the minority affairs office for making a needed change.

Kansan staff writer
The situation in the State Legislature is grim for KU, but the Legislature still could decide to give money to the University, the Associated Students of Kansas campus director said yesterday.
Greg Hughes, ASK campus director, said the organization began a phone and letter drive last night by students in local representatives were.
"Initially, we're targeting Johnson County and, secondly, Wyandotte, Sedwick and Shawnee," he said.
The volunteers are supposed to let the students know who their representatives are and where they can be reached, he said.
Hughes said some members of Student Senate, student organizations, residence halls, fraternities and sorcerers had volunteered to compile lists of students in their groups, with local addresses.
"I would be overjoyed if 400 calls hit Topke next week." Hughes said. "That would have a huge effect. We might actually get some money."
'Initially, we're targeting Johnson County and, secondarily, Wyandotte, Sedowick and Shawnee.'
ASK began the task of listing students' representatives along with the representatives' phone numbers and the students' email addresses that students could begin making calls.

Leslie Lancaster, Nunemaker senator, is a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority. She said she volunteered to lobby the sorority's members to write letters and make phone calls to legislators because the University was in need of money.
"People in our chapter seem pretty concerned about it," Lancaster said.
She said members of her sorority had written 75 letters to Topeka in a few hours earlier this semester.
"I feel more people will be apt to call," she said.
Hughes said the people who volunteered to encourage students to make phone calls and write letters had taken on an important task.
"The contact person has to follow up and make sure the networking happens," he said.
"We want the senators to know that students are concerned so they can change the cuts they've already made."
Gulf war soldiers will be honored tonight on CBS
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Flags, fanfares, allied military attaches, Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts are the opening ingredients of a two-hour television event organized by members of the Persian Gulf War.
The CBS special is an equal opportunity extravaganza, produced and performed by professionals who run the political gaffam from left to right. It is billed as non-political, but it represents the kind in the audience and will make brief remarks.
"All-Star Salute to Our Troops" features, on one hand, actor Alan Alda, a liberal Democrat who played Hawkeye Pierce, the cynical surgeon, on M.A.S.H." The program also showcases conservative Republican Charlton Heston, who makes ads for the National Rifle Association.
Gary Smith, one of the executive producers, said the diversity was no accident.
"There certainly was an attempt to give it political credibility," she said. But it indicates the kind of spirit everybody feels here.
or spirit everybody feels here.
. . . It feels real non-partisan to me."
