group increases AWARENESS with activities by shannon delmez To remind students of the nation ' s cultures, the Native American Student Body sponsored the first Indian Awareness Week, Nov. 1-7, during National Indian Heritage Month. The event included a benefit pow-wow that raised money for the April pow-wow. The response was good, Dawnielle Robinson, coordinator of multicultural said. It was a great prelude to the awareness month in the spring. Although the pow-wow wasn ' t as strong in attendance as the NASB desired, they said it raised awareness. It accomplished more than a cynic would fear but less than an idealist would hope, Harold Prins, adviser and pro fessor of anthropology, said. NASB took great pains for the events, and they were happy students were coming. Tamara Goodson, president and senior in art, said involvement extended to departments on campus. A lot of the teachers would send their classes to see some of the events for the classes they ' re in, like anthropology, history, English and dance, she said. We had a dance exhibition. Classes were sent over to see that. The dance exhibition displayed traditional Native American dances in which Goodson and her daughter, Christina, were featured dancers. Robinson said people came from Lawrence, Topeka and Wichita to watch the performance. The four multicultural organizations, Hispanic American Leadership Black Student Union, American Ethnic Studies Student Association and NASB, each other by having at least one member in the audience at all events sponsored by the other organizations. The guys from HALO usually come and help us set up, Goodson said. They ' re really helpful. NASB planned Native American Month in April to include an artist, nationally-known speaker and pow-wow. The spring is a contest pow-wow, Goodson said. People come from all over to dance for prize money. Some people who had not been exposed to Native American culture joined in the festivities to learn about their own backgrounds, Goodson said. A lot of people come up to you at the pow-wow and say how glad they are that we do stuff like this so they can come and it and get exposed to other cultures, she said. It ' s interesting to them. It makes them feel good. That ' s what it ' s all about. A pow-wow is a celebration.

singers BREAK AWAY from glee club by wendy schantz The singers wanted to go back to the unique sound of smaller groups they had known in high school. Fifteen men auditioned and broke off from the 60 members of Men ' s Glee Club to form their own group, Cadence. A lot of the guys were involved in high school, and we really enjoyed singing in a smaller, tight group, and we wanted with both, President Josh Bleeker, in psychology, said. We decided to start up and make it work. Gerald Polich, Cadence director and of music, said the idea had been in the works for a few years. It just started, but it ' s been thought about off and on, Polich, also director of Men ' s Glee Club, said. We thought we ' d give it a try. Bleeker said the group wanted to with a cappella and barbershop pieces, music he thought would be more intense and fun to perform. It ' s the brainchild of a couple of guys who wanted to sing a little bit more, Bleeker said. It ' s the first year. It ' s definitely a experience for all of us. The group practiced twice a week but lost two members due to class schedule conflicts. The hardest part is getting together to practice, Bryan Wagner, senior in pre-law, said. It ' s a hurdle we ' re trying to overcome to get it to work. Bleeker said the group hoped Cadence would become a class members could enroll in. He also said he thought the group had done well to overcome their problems. With the time we ' ve had, the songs have come out nicely, Bleeker said. We want to practice enough to feel we had enough time to perform and pull it together. We need to give the guys a definite time to be there. Wagner said the men had only twice in concerts but were close to the ultimate goal. We ' re mainly doing this because we love singing and entertaining, he said, but we definitely want to perform on our own. Polich said the men ran the group, but he came in occasionally to help. I think it ' s a good experience, Polich said. They don ' t have someone up there telling them what to do. They have to do it themselves.
