AWS Unifies KU Women OffersLeadershipOpportunity
By Joanne Prim
If you asked a KU male what Associated Women Students (AWS) was, he would probably say, "something in the Dean of Women's office . . . It makes rules about closing hours and other things. . ."
However, if Marilyn Mueller, Houston, Tex., senior and president of AWS, heard this remark, she would inform the gentleman that "making regulations is not our only function."
AWS IS THE official KU women's governing body. It serves to unify women students and offer them leadership opportunities, Miss Mueller said.
"Take the Deans' Advisory Council, for instance," she said. "It is composed of the presidents of major student organizations, but the only women on the council are the presidents of women's organizations."
THE PROGRAM is carried out through two governing groups -- the House of Representatives and the Senate. Each women's living group is entitled to send one representative to the House. Members of the Senate are elected from among interested AWS members in the spring, irrespective of living group.
Karlene Howell, former president of AWS and assistant to the dean of women said, "This organization provides opportunities for leadership training — one of the most important by-products of AWS."
AWS is a large organization -- every regularly enrolled woman student is a member.
The Regulations and Board of Standards committee examines the AWS rules yearly. A regulations convention is being planned for this spring. The Board of Standards acts as a counseling and judiciary body, acting upon matters referred to it.
The Senate and the House carry out AWS goals. There are nine Senate committees.
The "Orientations and Publications" committee sponsors programs each fall to acquaint new women students with the activities, customs and functions of AWS. The committee also publishes "Wise Words for Women," an AWS campus orientation handbook.
THE COMMITTEE on High School Leadership Day finished this years project Dec. 1 with a program conducted for outstanding high school seniors. Senior women from high schools throughout Kansas spent the weekend at KU learning of the advantages of attending a university.

Club to Promote Physical Therapy
Eighty-seven physical therapy students have formed a club to further their own interests in their chosen profession and to inform others about it.
KU's department of physical therapy is one of 38 in the United States, the club sponsor, Betty Sanders, assistant professor of physical medicine, said.
Prof. Sanders said she plans to guide the club's program committee in planning programs physical therapy students want, such as field trips and speakers.
"The demand for physical therapists is so great all over the country we can't produce enough of them to fill the bill," she said.
Club officers were elected at the last meeting. They include:
Judith Boyer, Wichita junior, president; Clinton Donaldson, St. Joseph, Mo., freshman, vice-president and program chairman; Marybelle Stout, Alden junior, secretary; Barbara Bailey, Butler, Mo., sophomore, treasurer; Paula Schmanke, Ottawa junior, publicity chairman, and Shella Brown, Leavenworth freshman, refreshment chairman.
