The essence of the women's movement is that women are being offered a choice of opportunities potential as human beings. Marlene Sanders, ABC correspondent, told 450 college students at the national convention of the Intercollegiate Association of Women Students. Twenty-three women attended the convention.
"Women should have the option to choose. If we become doctors, lawyers or merchant chiefs, we should not be less womanly for it," she said. Miss Sanders, one of the six correspondents among 150 men, was the key speaker at the five-day conference on the Colorado River.

Dr. John Tyson, assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, discussed abortion laws. He also said that he would vote repress all of abortion laws. In his practice he said he had found that women were using
