program started
EDITOR'S NOTE: This is a reprint
from the Minnesota Daily.
An interdepartmental program
leading to a Bachelor of Arts degree
in American Indian Studies may exist
at the University of Minnesota by fall
quarter.
A proposal for such a program is
being written and evaluated by a 15
member committee to be appointed
this week by Fred Lukermann,
assistant vice president for academic
administration. One third of the
members are Indian students. Not all
the members have been notified of
their membership yet, Lukermann
said.
Lukermann said the committee
would probably finish writing a
proposal spring quarter, and its
recommendations could probably be
implemented by fall quarter.
MEMBERS, LUKERMANN said,
will be asked to write a proposal
answering three questions.
The first question deals with the
tentative curriculum package and the
faculty who will teach it. Results from
a present survey of cross cultural
courses being carried on present
survey of cross cultural courses being
carried on now for a task force
created by University President
Malcolm Moos may help in answering
this question, Lukermann said.
The second question deals with
registration and admission into the
program, and the third with control
over the program by teachers and
advisers.
The committee's proposal will
probably be presented at the meeting
of the three CLA divisional councils
(for humanities, social sciences and
natural sciences in May, Lukermann
said.
THE PROGRAM is being
considered more for the education of
white students than for Indians,
William Craig, one of the students
who started action on the idea of a
program, said.
"Actually, we're not interested in
Indians," he said. "There are only
44 on all the University campuses.
We're doing it for the 49,000 white
people who don't know a darn thing
about us."

Lukermann agreed. "The role of the
Indian in American society is pretty
well underplayed and understated
today," he said.
Bev Taylor
Craig, who is half Indian, said that
one impetus for the creation of tha
program is the small number of Indian-centered
or related courses on
campus now.
CRAIG MENTIONED three Genera!
College courses: Minnesota History,
to which material relating to both In
dians and blacks has been adde ':
Literature 29C, dealing with ethnic
literature and music; and Men an I
Siciety 41B, which is devoted largely
to the Indian and poverty.
The proposed program would be in
terdepartmental in nature rather th -n
departmental, so a program rath"
than a department would be created
for it.
Another impetus behind the pro
gram, Craig said, is tne multitude
of problems in Indian-white relation
which occur because whites have
never been exposed to Indians.
He started meeting with Lukermann
seberal others in an ad hoc com
mittee fall quarter and presente
recommendations for the program
then. "The idea was very well receiv
ed," Craig said. "In fact, they (com
members) added things wei
hadn't even thought of."
Craig said the program should in
elude courses in history, law, art
education, medicine, and public healt.i
and contemporary problms, amon,.

and a push button for easy flip-top
cleaning. It also comes in recharge
