COEDS' CORNER
If you happen to walk into Henley house, headquarters for the Young Women's Christian association at the University, you'll probably find lots of activity.
Y.W.C.A. Buzzes With Activity In Carrying Out Christian Aim
Perhaps a student, with no access to a piano where she lives, is going over her repertoire. A party for children may be in progress, or perhaps a University student is entertaining an out-of-town guest. As many as three Y.W.C.A. group meetings may be going on in the house, and the office is always busy.
There are over 300 University members in this, the largest women's organization in the world.
One of the aims of the Y.W.C.A, which was started at K.U. in 1886, is to help lonely girls find a contact in University life. By doing this, the association is helping to carry out its main purpose, which is to develop men and women who will become leaders dedicated to Christian ideals.
President of Y.W.C.A. for 1946-47, is Mary Breed, College senior. She also is a member of Mortar board, Chemistry and Home Economics clubs, Pi Beta Phi sorority, and a representative in student politics

The campus problems commission is working on a political primer to help explain the system of politics used at the University.
One of the projects of the freshman commission is to sponsor hour dances for freshman women. Some of the dances are held in conjunction with Y.M.C.A.
Women working for the community service commission help in baby clinics, Girl Scout and Red Cross work, and give parties for junior high school children. Another project is knitting afghans for veterans at Winter General hospital in Topeka.
