Commission on Status of Women
Group Studies Coed Rights
By JULIE SMITH Kansan Staff Writer
The KU Commission on the Status of Women, the Associated Women Students (AWS) until last spring, wants to establish a new image.
AWS was renamed last spring to meet the changing needs of KU women, Suzy Bocell, Kansas City senior president, said.
"The Commission needs to get away from the rules image connected with AWS," she said.
They are not connected with the women's liberation movement.
Although the Commission and women's liberation have many of the same goals, they use entirely different methods, Suzy said.
"Our approach is through education, not revolution," she said.
education, not revolution," she said.
In the past, many women thought the only function of AWS was legislative, she said, and the fight for no closing hours and off campus housing helped build this image. KU coeds now have these privileges. To meet these changes, a new organization was needed. Under the past body, only elected representatives from each living group could attend organizational AWS meetings.
This system made it difficult for
many KU women to identify with AWS because they had no direct involvement, Suzy said.
Any KU woman may now work on the new Commission, Suzy said. There are no elected representatives.

The Commission officers have organized it around ten areas of concern. They are: Human Sexuality Education, Leadership Institute, The Second Wave Week, Beyond High School Program, Careers Day, Spring Symposium, Hall of Fame, Research on the Status of Women, Day Care Center and Communications for the Commission.
"The Human Sexuality Education Center is one program no
KU woman should miss," Suzy said. This program is designed to educate women on the physical and mental aspects of sex.
The Leadership Institute, based on interpersonal relations, is scheduled for Sept. 24-26. It will involve group discussions on leadership and group projects.
