officials explain
minority student problems
Minority students face two mam
problems at Oregon Slate according to
Lonnie Harris the director of the Office
of Educational Opportunity. They are
ethnic adjustment and academic
assistance.
Speaking in his office in Waldo Hall,
Harris explained his concept of ethnic
adjustment. He used the example of the
ghetto student who is suddenly thrust
into the midst of a university.
'its going to take time for this
student to adjust to the situation, and it
ton't be in a term. Maybe it will be a
year, if he adjusts then."
Harris' assistant, H.amon (Thacon,
discussed the importance of academic
assistance to the minority student. He
noted that often a student may feel he is
doing well in a subject when in fact he is
doing poorly.
"iTlw student) seeks out acedmic
assistance, mainly on the academic end
of a degree. He seeks tutors when he
feels he isn't doing as well in a class as
he might."
Until recently, Harris and Chacon
handled all of the counseling cases by
themselves, Now they have six
assistants to help, some of the
assistants are volunteers, others are on
a part time basis.
Chacon said, "Hefore the volunteer
help it was very difficult to work with
all of the situations. It often required
after-hour work in evenings
Their job is still difficult, even with
the addition of the help. They are hard
pressed to meet the demands of the
students and still realize any progress.
Harris doesn't forsee any significant
progress for at least three or four
years.
He said, "I can't see any headway
until we get the numbers. We don't
make a dent in the population of the
university of 15,000.'
11(1 r ri s
The minority program at OSU still
involves under three per cent of the
university enrollment. One of Harris'
and Chacon's jobs is to 'recruit"
minority students to the institution,
They contact three groups of minority
students and talk to them about the
school and try to convince them to
enroll.
Chacon noted that often high school
seniors, junior college transfers and
holders of General Education Diplomas
are swayed to the University of Oregon.
lie listed two reasons for the attraction
to the Eugene campus, one due to in
creased opportunity to minority
students at the U of 0 and the other
because of unpopular attitudes about
Oregon Suite.
"The Uni%ersity of Oregon has
opened up their attitudes a little about
minority students There is more
concern from the administration to the
minority office. Also the U of 0 has a
much higher concentration of minority
students." Chacon'said.

concerned with this office up here, they
don't care about it."
Chacon expressed that much of the
problem between th community arid
minority affairs was due to a general
lack of formation. He said that the
peopk are not informed about the
proceedings of the office.
He said when th' community wanted
anything from the office they came
right to them, but when the minority
office wanted something from the
community it was an'ther matter.
Wyatt emphasizes the care taken by
govermnental agencies and the local
Adair utilization groups in fixating a
suitable tenant for the former Air Force

"Think Indian"
'Native' caught in two cultures
By KAThY KENISTON
While many students are sporting the
and to preserve Indian identity and
fashions, LaVonne Lobert is content to
wear simply a blouse, a sweater and a
pair of blue jeans. The only accessory
"I'm very proud of the fact that I am
an Indian,' LaVonne smiles. The
"Think Indian" button she wears draws
latest buckskin and bs,ad Indian
that suggests her American Indian
heritage is the turquoise ring on her
right hand.
LaVonne was surprised and amused
when she first saw the guadily painted
facesandiinitativeclothlngheraldedin
some magazines as the new "Indian"
look, But she's serious when she says of
those who buy the faslons, "It wouldn't
be so bad if they thought, 'This is an
INdian thing' Instead of 'the IN
thing!"
"I'm very proud
of
the fact that I ant
an Indian."
As a member of the Kiamath tribe,
LaVonne finds herself caught between
two cultures - her Indian past and the
midele class white way of life. When
she speaks of her Indian people she is
sad and frustrated, yet hopeful.
The pretty Indian coed from Portland
is one of only 16 AmerIcan Indians
enrolled at Oregon State University.
She keeps active as secretary of the

terminated and there was no more
work. So when LaVonne was about nine
questions from people who wonder
what the slogan means. She replies, "It
means to start thinking about the Indian people and what has become of
them."
LaVonne is a "sophomore-and-three-
fourths"
majoring
in
English
education. She hopes someday to
become a counselor and work In Bureau
of Indian Affalr (BIA) schools, most of
which she terms "awful." She says,
"With education we can learn to survive in this society and then return to
our own culture."
Born
BIA agency, but later the agency was
In Klamath Falls
In 1950,
LaVonne lived on the Kiamath reservation in Chiloquin, Ore. Her mother
worked in the Klamath agency of the
BIA, and her father was a rancher who
rode Brahms bulls In his spare time.
The earliest exciting event she can
remember was when the family first
got an Indoor toilet - she didn't have to
trudge outside in the cold and dark
anymore. Her next thrill came when
the family bought a television set. She
recalls being fascinated with watching
cartoons and Liberace.
LaVonne's father died when she was
five years old. Her mother met the
girl's stepfather while working at the
the family moved to Pendleton and
lived tai the Umatilla reservation until
she was a senior In hIgh school.
L.aVonne's Klamath blood is from her
father's aide of the famIly, and her
mother Is Chlppewa Indian and French.
She proudly reveals that her great.
grandfather was a shaman, powerful
medicine man and priest considered
almost godlike by his tribe.
But all her relatives on the Klaxnath
side of the family are dead now. "I
really feel bad now because I can't find
my language," LaVonne says, "and
other things about my relatives."
The Klamath language and religion
were lost when the white man came to
Oregon, LaVonne explains. Indians wh
continued to speak their own language
were sometimes physically abused and
were forced to learn the English
tongue. "You weren't civilized unless
you learned to speak English and wear
the white man's clothes." Indians often
wore outrageous outfits in an attempt to
lit in with the white culture, LaVonne
says.
"With education we
can learn to sur"ive
in this society. .
She cried the other evening when she
watched a movie in which a defeated
Indian handed over his gun to the
conquering white men. "When the man
gave up his rifle, that signified not Just
his rifle, but the whole Indian way of
life."
"1 wantsomuchformychlldren lobe

it," LaVonne muses. "If the young
people nowadays can begin once again
to learn, we hope for a significant

wryly admits that she tries to "pound"
her ideas Into her two younger sisters.
"No one can help
us as much as we
can help ourseli'es."
Typically, her mother disagrees with
L.aVonne about some matters, and once
told her daughter, "I didn't send you to
school to become a radical!" One time,
when LaVonne was visiting the Portland BIA office where her father
works, she exclaimed "Think Indian!
as she opened the door to leave.
But La Vonne doesn't consider herself
a militant or a radical. She feels more
hopeful than bitter, and she wants to
brIng about constructive change. Her
philosophy is, "No one can help us as
much as we can help ourselves."
