Women at Top In Model Game
Miss Fox said that in her modeling experience, she never felt that she was being exploited as a sex symbol.
"A model cannot have the attitude that her work is a form of exploitation. It is a job, just like any other job a woman might have, and you can do it at that way," she said.
A model's pay, Miss Fox explained, is the same for all agencies. For every two hour job she is paid $40, after two hours its $80 and anytime after three hours the pay is $100 or more.
Miss Fox said that she didn't think it was essential that a behavior be exceptionally good and habits are important. Also a model should photograph well, which usually means she should have the confidence with willingness to take pictures.
Any model who photographs should know her face well and no one will judge her at any time. In fact, she should jump at the opportunity to do so. A model should constantly experiment with herself in order to know how to know herself well, so she can give the expression the photographer wants to capture a picture, she explained.

"I's hard to meet personal desires when designing on a larger scale because there are many people who don't know. When asked if she felt a major in architecture would have an affect on her life style, Miss Hunn said it would because of her plans and I would make a homefit at the same time."

W. T.C.H. (Women's International Herel) is perhaps the most spectacular of the radical groups, in accordance with Miss Ellen Killorn, whose manifesto sees witches as the first guerrilla fighters against racism.
It has attained public nomenity by using guerrilla tactics to express its beliefs. Members upset the campaign over the few years ago by singing protest songs to the tune of "Here Comes the Bride" and setting loose mice during the show. They also demonstrated at the 1988 Miss America Pageant. On Halloween of that same year they put a box on the Stock Market by dancing with Avenue in witch costumes.
On the opposite side of the fence from W.T.L.C.H. is the Pussey League. It is a national league and the organization group headed by Jeanne Sakol author of "Adams Rib" a comedy about career women.
★★★
A Pussycat centers everything around the man in her life.
The name "Pussycat" reflects its ideals according to Miss Ellis. "The name was chosen in a light and whimsical manner, consideration. Pussycat's are domestic animals—intelligent, affectionate, sophisticated and loyal. Pussycat—as of the League are their own women."

Working Wives Juggle Duties
By KIT NETZER
Putting a husband and sometimes herself through school while budgeting time around work, children, married life and often studies of their own is not the easiest task in the world, and many wives and mothers will testify.
The wives of many University of Kansas Students are sacrificing their education for awhile to win the family bread while the husbands
Carloeen Maheri from Kansas City, Mo., is helping her husband obtain his degree in civil engineering. When he finishes, she plans to work as a plumbing technician.
"There aren't many jobs available in Lawrence for civil engineers, so I will go with my husband to where he can get a job and go to school there."
While Mrs. Maher goes to her daily job as clerk in the Kansas Union Bookstore, their daughter stays with a babysitter.
The husband of Marcella Larrabe, Lawrence junior, is now in the army stationed at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo. She hopes that her husband will help him study science and hopes to hold a teaching job while her husband goes back to school. She also clerks in the boodstore while concentrating on putting herself
"I have been married for almost two years now," one wife helping her husband through school said. "Both of us are able to do things around the house now. He helps a lot, and together we can handle it." She also agrees, wages that as well as money must be carefully budgeted.
"Financially, it was smarter for him to go back to school first," she said. "He is working on his master's degree, which wouldn't take as long to finish as for me to complete my degree. When he finishes, I will go back."
Sometimes husbands and wives are able to work together in related fields both on the job and in class. Cass Peterson, Lawrence senior, and her husband, Ken, both worked for newspapers while studying in Europe. They had a baby and were now working at Kansan and her husband was a reporter for the Tooneka Daily Capital.
"It was easier to go to school because we took the same courses and studied together," she said. "But it was harder on our marriage because between work and classes we didn't have much time to see each other."
Another wife said, "The tuition up took a great deal of our accumulated money, but now that that is over, we are managing all
Harvey Haskel, Lakin senior, and his wife are also working while going to school. Mrs. Hasler did not go to school for one semester right after they were married, but now both are working for their degrees. She brought out the male point of view concerning students and children.
"The worst thing in the world financially would be to have kids who we are still in school. With the parent always working or in classes,"
"we are still in school."

Women's Liberation, in the midst of its second wave, has caused many coeds and girls career girls to stop, to keep and reconsider their relating roles. They are no longer as active as before, and they are less involved.
