Junior, senior women waiting for keys
By Judy Brockman Kansan Staff Reporter
The key word is keys as KU junior and senior women await the outcome of the Associated Women Students (AWS) Standards Board and the dean of women's review of proposed key systems for individual women's living groups.
"The review is moving faster this year and hopes are for distribution of keys by Oct. 1," said Sharon Anderson, chairman of Area Concern and Regulations.
Key systems, which give junior and senior women greater freedom to enter and leave their residences, were first put into operation at KU last year.
Because of the number of junior women introduced to the key system each year, living groups are required to formulate and submit their plans for regulating their system at the beginning of each academic year.
Plans submitted for approval explain how the group will operate and regulate their key system.
"Continuous revision brings in new ideas and enables the system to adapt to the needs of a particular living group," said Miss Anderson.
Plans have been submitted
"The dean of women does not set down certain rules which must be followed, but is mainly concerned with whether the submitted plan is workable," said Miss Anderson.
In order to determine if a plan is workable, the reviewers consider answers to the following questions: Where are sign-out
Novelists to lecture here
Two novelists will lecture part time at KU this semester as part of the English department's writers-in-residence program.
They are Jordan Crittenden, a 1558 graduate of KU, and Joseph Heller. Both men will be lecturing to the English 292 class, "The Writing of Fiction." Crittenden also will lecture publicly October 18, according to Roy E. Gridley, assistant professor of English.
Crittenden, who lives in San Francisco, is author of the recently acclaimed novel, "Balloons Are Available." He also has published short stories in The New Yorker and Atlantic magazines.
Heller, from New York City, is author of "Catch-22," one of the most highly praised novels of the decade. He also has written several stories and essays for "Esquire" and "Holiday" magazines. Educated at New York University, Columbia and Oxford, Heller has worked on numerous national magazines and has taught at Penn State University and the University of Pennsylvania.
Viet protestors plan stop here
The marchers, who Tuesday night staged an anti-war rally before 300 persons on the Colorado state capitol steps, said their next big stop would be Kansas City.
DENVER —(UPI)— Marchers carrying the "torch of peace," a protest symbol against the war in Vietnam, today moved out of Denver on their eastward trek across the nation.
The group, led by Lars Speyer of San Francisco and Palo Alto, Calif., said it would make shorter layovers in Manhattan, Topeka and Lawrence, Kan.
sheetes posted? How often are sign-out sheets checked? What procedure is followed if a key is lost? What is the living group's definition of "overnight"?
Keys will be distributed
Upon approval, the keys will be distributed by the dean of women's office to the standards chairman of each living group,
who will in turn give them to the women who qualify.
The AWS regulations state that, "any junior or senior woman or one 21 or older may enter and leave her residence at her discretion according to a system formulated and regulated by her individual living group and approved by the Dean or Women."
Women under 21 must have their parent's permission to participate in the key system.
"I think junior and senior women feel that they are mature and responsible enough to handle this key system," said Miss Anderson.
The number of keys which will be distributed and the type of
plan a particular residence will use cannot be determined until the final approval of each group's submitted plan.
In the past, living groups have formulated systems using ID cards, metallic cards which activate locking devices or ordinary door keys to their individual residences.
