KU Royalty Decision Praised By CHERYL MEHAN Kansan Staff Writer Some editorsials from neighboring cities have supported on the University of Kansas veto to allow universities to support Students, faculty and administrators compose the ten-member Homecoming Committee which voted unanimously to eliminate the long-established group of Homecoming queen at the University of Kansas. The committee issued a notice to every campus living group explaining the reason for revision of this bulletin. *it is serms inappropriate in a multi-cultural environment such as in a university or an education institution* "Kansas is less corny" read the title in the book. The author expressed a favorable opinion for the committee's "This action is consistent with the attitude of today's serious younger generation. We're not against campus bi-hacks and other kinds of fun. But the campus queen contests are as far from the office as air conditioning is in the worries of the city fathers of Reykjavik, Iceland." The Homecoming weekend holds new excitement and new feelings for Kanas Jayhawks even though An article in the Topopea Daily Capital summed up the situation with the headline "The Queen is Dead." However, the article did not support or protest the alterations in the traditional Hoppeconism. KANSAN women group of young women to represent that community. The 1970 Homecoming Committee deems it more appropriate to recognize those who embody the values of the community was established," the committee said. It is "pretty dull stuff," and the Homecoming it is sensible to dispense with it. Many organizations use it. The committee's objective is the initiation of a more relevant and meaningful Homecoming event. An editorial in the Wichita Eagle issued a supporting opinion on the committee's decision to abolish the tradition. The Sept. 20, 1970 article entitled "Welcome Change," said, "Queens are over all sorts of things these days in fact, it has become so commonplace that it is a meaningless honor." it will be the first Homecoming game without a queen. As for the other University queens, Dick Wintermute, chairman of the KU Homecoming committee said, decisions will be left to the separate individual organizations. But that smiling,wave KU beauty decked with crown and flowers never again will parade the track at Memorial Stadium nor reign over a KU Homecoming game. It's a look to the future.

Changing Roles Delegate Commission for Women By CINDY SPIVEY Kansan Staff Writer Woman's constantly changing role in society created a need last summer for a group ofAssociated Women Students organization. The team played a part in formation of the University of Kansas Commission on the Status of Women. The history of women students at KU can be traced back over a century. This is the first women's organization, the Women's Self-Governing Association, which enforced its own regulations. In the mid-1940s women students changed the organization's name to the Associated Women Students. Along with the change in name came a broadened program, programs on leadership training, programs on concern to the education of women and encouragement for women to be active role in their education. There was a gradual development of functions within the organization as the program began striking rules which discriminated against certain groups. Five years before President Kennedy appointed a national Commission on the Status of Women, AWS at K.U. established such an organization to recommend desirable changes in the official position in the University The new KU Commission on the Status of Women deals in areas of sex discrimination, vocational education, birth control and drugs. To be an active participant of the women's commission, a coed need only express an interest. There is no system of requirement for the use of AWS, and no necessity to apply and be selected. All programs of the commission are open to any applicant. Emily Taylor, dean of women, said the matter of individual choice is a woman's most important right and obligation. "Nether traditional roles nor their rejections are right for all women," Miss Taylor said. The program of the new commission includes the Human Sexuality Education Center, the Leadership Institute, the Second School, Beyond High School, Career Orientation and a Spring Symposium. These programs reflect the present interest and needs of all women students and recognize their unique style. They adopt different life styles. Susy Bocel, Kansas City senior and保安 Kobe, Kansas city president, said the mission is to educate coddles through these programs about the roles of officers.
