 Indian Lore
That frenzied cliche of the old I{estern, "The
Indians are coming!" is being heard again in the
nation's department of education. An estimated
66;000 children classified as non-Indians in 1970 '
were designated as Indians in the 1980 census.
Federal officials are rejecting the idea that the
development represents a tremendous spurt in
ethnic pride. They suspect instead that local
schools are greatly exaggerating enrollments in
order to take advantage of guidelines providing
increased aid for Indian schoolchildren.
Will the federal bureaucracy eircle the wagons
and fend off the attack on the treasury or just
quietly surrender and let the taxpayers get
scalped?

No !{recklng Ball For The Hall
I am writing to express concern over
the very sma11 mention given in the
November/December 2004 Illinois
Alurnni regarding Assembiv Hali. It
seems that, according to the paragraph,
people are thinking that it would be
more affordable to tear down this worid-
class piece ofarchitecture than to address
the desire to add air conditioning and
smoke evacuation systems.
Assembly Hall has become a posi-
tive , symbolic representation of the
: University. Its modernistic sryle com-
bines architectural grace and uti1iry find-
l ing no equal at this campus or any other.
It is a place where students and alumni,
