Reservist asks for a helping hand
By Nedra Beth Randolph Kansan staff writer
Proceeds from the rock-paper-scissors national championship tournament next week will go to the families of service members involved in Operation Desert Storm.
Mike Tomin, a Naval reservist and former KU student, created the local family-support organization, Operation Desert Shelter, to help those left with little resources because of the Persian Gulf War.
The tournament will be conducted at 7 p.m. Feb. 12 at Benchwarner's Sports Bar & Grill, 1601 W. 23rd St.
"I wanted to help out families having a hard time during and after the war because people are always
having to go without in these types of situations," he said.
Tomlin, who is the manager of Rudy's Pizza, C 60. W 12th St., said he was looking for a fundraising idea for Operation Desert Shelter he noticed some of his employees playing rock-paper-scissors.
He said that because it was such a simple and easy game to play, it would be perfect for a fundraiser or a charity event. That people always had fun playing.
"If we could have got Bush and Hussein to play rock-paper-scissors, there wouldn't be a war right now," he said.
some would enter as teams. He hopes to attract at least 188 players.
Tomlin, who has been in the Navy reserves for two years, was a student at the University of Kansas and graduated November to go to the Persian Gulf.
He withdrew from his classes. He received half-credit for each of his classes and a refund for half of his tuition.
But while he was training for war, he broke his foot. His departure date has been deferred until his foot heals.
When he reports back for duty today, he will find out when he will leave for the gulf.
"I should already be over there," he said. "But since I'm still here, I thought I'd do something for the
families that are left behind."
Joseph Cunningham, a friend of Tomlin's and owner of Shirts illustrated, 846 Massachusetts. St., said his company had donated to the project by printing T-shirts for the tournament.
"We're all in this war together, so we need to help in any way we can," he said.
Jon Huminston, Hutchison junior, said the pledge class at the Phi Gamma Delta house had adopted a shelter as a philanthropy project.
"We hope to do the rock-paper-scissors tournament again next year," he said. "The repercussions of war will be going on for at least a year."
Cooperative efforts help ease transfer from Haskell to KU
By Rick C. Honish

The transition from Haskell Indian Junior College to the University of Kansas has been made easier for students entering the School of Social Science by a program designed to assist students to life at a larger campus.
Edith Black, assistant dean of social welfare, said the school did everything it could to see that American Indian students finished their degrees. She said there was a critical need for American Indian social services because there were few employed in programs for American Indians.
She said the social welfare program at Haskell had been abolished because of budget cuts about three
years ago. Through a cooperative arrangement with KU, however, Haskell students are able to enroll in courses offered by the university and fare that is taught on the KU campus.

said the course was helpful.
"Being able to come to the campus and mingle with the students and teachers that you will be seeing for years of our life is a big help," she said.
Besides helping her to interact, she said taking a course on campus was a great advantage because it made her familiar with the KU bookstores and libraries before she enrolled as a full-time student.
"It made the transition much easier after getting an idea of the lifestyle of KU," she said.
