"My first reaction," to th6 news
of the takeover of the trading post
at Wounded Knee, South Dakota,
was, "I want to be there," states
Wayne Johnson, member of the
Chippewa Bear Clan and the Na-
tive American Student Association
(NASA).
"NASA is in full support," said
Moose Pamp, also a member of
the newly formed University or-
ganization, NASA, and of the Chip-
pewa Turtle Clan. "Some members
are going there Friday," he added.
"The whole association (40 Uni-
versity students)," Pamp said, "is
ready to take up arms if it's going
to benefit our people."
According to Pamp, "the average
age of native Americans (Indians)
is 23 years." By this time "he
either has a prison or a military
record," Pamp said and added,
"We know what it's like to shoot or
be shot at."
"This is something we should all
work for,' Johnson said, referring
to the attaining of Indian rights.
Then Pamp went on to talk about
the Bureau of Indian Affairs' (BIA)
program of "relocation."
"The BIA tells you they're going
to take you off the reservation, put
you in the city and get you a job,"
Pamp said. "Then what they do is
take you off the reservation, put
you in a city like Chicago and give

you a job making bows and arrows
at $1.65 an hour," Pamp said.
And he added that three out of
four Indians involved in the pro-
gram of relocation, return to the
reservation.
Describing the newly formed
University organization, N A S A,
Pamp said that "The people who
speak up-control the organization
-are radical."
Members of NASA also belong
to the Great Lakes Indian Youth
Alliance (600 members) which is
an affiliate of the national Ameri-
can Indian Movement.
Meanwhile, city police officers
sit outside the Exhibit Museum,

troversial Indian skeletal remains
which local Indians are requesting

earth."

lawyer Tom Bentley, who hasp
agreed to act as attorney for
Hoitt, stated that "If the Univer-
sity evicts him, legal action is
likely."+
SGC President Bill Jacobs and!
others joined Hoitt at the later
meeting in challenging .Feldkamp,,
who claimed the eviction "may,
discourage the kind of drug-related
behavior that has caused this new
problem of armed robberies in the
dorms." ~
Jacobs called Feldkamp's moveI
"ridiculous," charging that thej
housing director has "made an ex-1
ample of one student and in soI
doing only serves to inconvenience
that student."1
Feldkamp responded that the+

eviction "isn't seen by anyone in
the University as an action that
will stop all armed robberies."
"This is simply the course we've'
chosen to take at this time to dis-
courage the kind of illegal activity
that causes the danger."
When asked if he felt the new
eviction policy would indeed dis-
courage armed robberies, -Feld-
kamp answered, "I don't know.
How should I know? We're just
trying it out."
When several students insisted
that Hoitt's eviction would only
"frighten kids away from report-
ing any robberies," Feldkamp said
"It may have that effect at first.
I'm no crime expert, but I think
after a while it'll be effective."
Feldkamp reiterated that his
decision was "not final", but add-
ed that "I don't forsee a reversal
on this."
