Bylaws provide foundation of women's athletic board
By MARY HOENK
Staff Writer
The Women's Athletic Advisory Board
has a plan to help their actions
more direction.
A set of bylaws have now been drafted for the board and they were modified and received preliminary approval at Saturday's board meeting.
The board advises the women's athletic department on matters including budgets and hurdles for athletes.
A final version of the bylaws will be forwarded to Chancellor Archie R. Dykes and will come up for final approval at the next meeting of the board, March 25.
Laura Pinkston, member of the board, said yesterday that she had used the bylaws of the men's athletic board as guidelines when she formulated the bylaws for the team.
PINKSTON, Overland Park senior, said the main difference between the men's and women's boards was that the women's athletic board was strictly advisory.
Another difference between the boards is that there is more student representation on the women's athletic board than on the men's board. Pinkston said.
The bylaws provide that seven of the 16 board members be students. They are the student body president, chairman of the Student Senate sports committee, a
member of the Council of Women Athletes and four members at large.
The University of Kansas Athletic Board has four student representatives of its 31 teams.
PINKSTON SAID she was encouraged by the decision of the board to set up a meetings schedule and a way to inform the members of the meetings.
According to the bylaws, meetings would be scheduled four times a year, preferably in September, November, February and April.
"Written bbls add substance to the group," Pinkston said. "They begin to define our role and will make us operate in a more businesslike manner."
An addition to the final version of the bylaws will include provisions for closing
Elizabeth Banks, assistant professor of classics and art history, made a motion to have open meetings unless an executive session was determined by majority vote.
The motion was passed after it was amended so that a vote of one-third of the members present could close a meeting, and then would be returned when they are returning to an open session.
Additions to the bylaws also included a proposal that Marian Washington, director of women's athletics, draft a statement of policy regarding collegiate athletics and present it to the board.

JAY SMITH, presidential candidate, and Mark Fouts, Smith's running mate, were asked by Kaufman to sign the request but refused.
Wetzel said the six members of the elections committee would review the request to decide whether Paul and Allen should be replaced.
Both Paul and Allen said that they thought it was important that AURH officials be on the panel because they knew the office's problems best.
Kim Wetzel, chairman of the elections of the committee that chose the panelists, said that there might be some justification in Kaufman's and Carlisle's request but that the people on the panel were intelligent enough not to show bias.
"I think that if bias were coming out, the audience would pick it up as well as the candidates and it wouldn't be that discriminatory," Fouts said.

Phill Kaufman, AURH presidential candidate, and his running mate, Donna Carlisle, have filed a request that two candidates challenge the debate between candidates be replaced.
The request asked that Jess Paul, AUHR president, and Jill Allen, former AUHR assembly member, be removed from the position. Jess Paul is vice presidential and vice presidential teams.
The request said that Paul and Allen had personal relationships with two candidates, and that they were not part of the

KAUFMAN SAID that Larry Britton, also a candidate for AURH president, currently is Paul's vice president. And Sophie Dahdah, vice president candidate, is Allen's next-door neighbor in Ellsworth Hall. Allen is a resident assistant at Ellsworth.
"Rabinovitz and Kaufman are the best of friends," she said.
She said that Kaufman had a stronger relationship with Paul Bainovitz, another musician she met at the University.
The request stated that it would be extremely difficult, perhaps impossible, to show impartiality when such business and personal relationships were involved.
"This is typical Phil Kaufman, trying to free publicity for his campaign," Allen
