Committee to Study 'Bright Woman' in Kansas
By Marty Moser
A committee under the auspices of Emily Taylor, dean of women, and the department of radio and television began a study last night of the "Bright Woman."
The committee defined the "Bright Woman" as a college graduate who is married, has children and has a career.
The study will be limited to KU graduate women who reside in Kansas. The results will be compared with similar studies of working married women.
Ramona R. Rush, Little River graduate student and coordinator of the committee, said the purpose of the research is three-fold:
"We want to better inform our graduating KU woman what to expect as she goes out into the business
and professional world. Studies indicate that the more education a woman has, the more likely it is that she will work.
"We feel that it is important to recognize our own successful KU women graduates and see how they compare with the national image of women.
"And we will use the study as a source for a film research grant for which the radio-TV department is applying."

NEW YORK  (UPI) - The cow - a strongly complex milk factory - soon may be specialized to meet specific consumer needs, reported at the 139th national meeting of the American Chemical Society.
Dean Taylor and Bruce A. Linton, professor of speech and journalism and chairman of the radio and TV department, are sponsoring the study.
The KU researchers will be aided by the director of the Commission on the Education of Women within the American Council of Education in Washington, D.C. He will compare the KU women's findings with trends and statements found by researchers in Washington and Michigan.
Each "Bright Woman" committee member will report on her study at each meeting. The findings will be checked by George R. Waggoner, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences; Carroll D. Clark, professor of sociology; and Kenneth E. Anderson, dean of the School of Education.
Prof. Clark, referring to the "Bright Woman," said:
"Today's woman must be oriented to her many roles in life in order to develop her fullest capacities. Role conflicts are inevitable, but I believe a realistic approach by a committee such as this one may help toward a solution."
