The National Women's Conference held Nov. 19 to 22 in Houston United women in a positive effort to improve their status, according to a University of Kansas student who was a delegate-at-large to the convention.
Ann Gottberg, Salina senior and president of the Intercollegiate Association for Women Students, said last night in a panel discussion on the women's conference that the fate of the 25 resolutions passed by the conference and sent to Congress for con- firmation were 60,000 women who attended the conference did with the issues in their home states.
About 30 persons attended the discussion in the Kansas Union, where panelists shared their experiences and views of the convention.
"I have no doubt in my mind that those people are really going to do that," she said.
take the women's conference as seriously as they did other national conventions. She said she thought it deserved more recognition as a political convention where people were voting on important civil rights issues.
GOTTBERG SAID women would have to push for support of the resolutions at the state and local levels for them to fare well with Congress.
The discussion, sponsored by the Women's Coalition, was conducted by Gottberg and four other women who attended the conference but who were not
The resolutions passed at the conference dealt with a variety of issues, ranging from protection of the rights of minority women, rape, victims, lesbians, battered wives and older women to endorsements of the Equal Rights Amendment, sex education in schools and school resolution of unanimously was one ending the granting of credit to women.
Elizabeth Leach, 1301 Kentucky, a member of the panel, said the positive feeling that was generated at the conference would have made it worthwhile even had the resolutions passed. The committee said the conference showed people that really could get united behind a cause.
tOTBBERG CAUTIONED that Congress might disregard the resolutions. "I'm not sure," he said.
She said she hoped the conference motivated women to run for seats on their local school boards and to be concerned about such as enforcement of the title IX law.
The conference and the 50 state conventions that preceded it were financed by $5 million from the federal government and by local fundraising activities.
Gattbert said the convention was attended by a group of feminist women. She said the keynote speakers, Mrs. Chesapeake Jordan and former Congresswoman Bella Abigail, did not have to coat their words but were able to speak on behalf of women making to夸称 prominent female audience.
Gotthberg said the conference was an educational experience because of its actual use.
Paintings by John Steuart Curry, Kansas artist, and Thomas Hart Benton, Missouri artist hang in the Regionalist Room, located at The Museum of American Art. Limestone also is among the decorations.
Gottberg said that transportation, room and board were paid for all travel by the 30 at-large.

every woman in the United States.
"That's peanuts over the entire nation," she said.
Green, who is not a Student Senate member, has been a member of the group since it was organized last spring. He also serves as President Communications and Rights committees.
He said that the chandeliers and a stained glass window in the room came from England and that paintings of fox hunts helped give the room an English air.
Deisler said she thought people did not
"It has been our belief that students like to have attractive facilities in which to lounge and relax."
