Haskell president Bob G. Martin and his wife watch an honor dance.
Haskell Indian Junior College inaugurated a hopeful Bob Martin as president Friday in front of a class of students, alumni and staff members.
"I am confident and optimistic concerning the future of Haskell into the 21st century," Martin said.
Martin, who was one of three acting presidents since former president Gerald Gipp stepped down last year, received high praise from members of the Haskell staff at a reception before the ceremony.
"He's not one to stay in an ivy tower," said Sharon Condon, a speech instructor at the college. "He really likes to involve everybody in decision making, including student leaders. He is also 'samedeended himself to everyone.'"
Condon said she was among those in the faculty who signed a nearly unanimous letter recommending Martin for the office.
Martin's first step as president should be to complete the long-range planning committee he instituted as acting president, Condon said.
The committee, which will be made up of students, faculty and other staff members, will address specific problems at the college. Budget restraints, student housing and the school's dropout rate should be on the agenda.
Martin mentioned the issues in his acceptance speech.
He said the school would seek more financing from the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
"We must be prudent in the selection of our goals," he said.
Martin also said that Haskell's dormitories were 100 students over capacity. Another 100 students were denied dormitory space because the school had no space available.
in his congratulatory remarks during the ceremony, Rep. Jim Slatter pledged his support to raise money for more dormitories.
"I am very excited by the future of Haskell," Slattery said. "As I look to the 90's I see a time when every young Native American who wants to attend Haskell will be able to do so, and every young Native American will have a dorm room to stay in."
Martin also has instituted the first summer school program for the college since it became a junior college in 1981. The program will run for one four-week term and two two-week terms.
"Our facilities should be open to our students on a year-round basis." Martin said.
This idea was praised by Haskell plant management worker Charles Hawkins before the ceremony. He said many members of the staff, including faculty, drew unemployment compensation during the summer and would like to work year-round.
Martin will be Haskell's third president in it s history as a junior college.
