Kansan staff writer
Evidence that student recruiting sessions may be working will appear tomorrow when members of the Hispanic American Leadership Organization, Black Student Union and Student Senate conduct a workshop for high school students in Kansas City, Mo.
About 160 Kansas City high school students will attend the workshop, where eight KU students will perform skits that address such problems as dropout rate, racism and teen-age pregnancy.
Angela Cervantes, HALO president, said that after a recruiting session earlier this semester at the University co-sponsored League of United Latin American College which students such workshops, some students said they would like to hear the HALO students again.
"After they went to LULAC day, some of them went back and told their counselors about us." Cervan said. "We're going to work at AAC to give it on their workshop."
Cervantes said she told LULAC that she would rather perform skits than give a lecture to get the messages across.

Cervantes said the skits would be more direct than the ones that the group performed at their session at the festival and prove the new skets earlier this week.
