Cwens' Plans for Year Include Tea, Two Picnics
"Cwens welcome you to the University of Kansas" is a familiar sight to any freshman at U.K., but a more recent resort is "What is a Cwen?"
Cwents are a national honorary service committee of sophomore girls. Although they are in high school, they are in community in some way their main function is on campus, specifically working with the student council.
The 40 Cwens on the KU campus, minus one who transferred, are from all types of interest. They do have several common grounds such as high school achievement, campus peer support and
recommendations, which add up to the qualifications one must pass to be selected as a Cwen
Formerly Cews were apportioned money from the Student Services Center. The Cews were stopped and now the Cews are selling University Events Calendars for fifty cents paying dues for financial support.
The Cwens have several projects in mind for the school year. The dates haven't been set, but the idea has begun. Two freshman pienies. One for the girls from GSP and Corbin. The other pienie will be for girls from Nakhimshi, two freshmen in the other freshman residence halls.
The annual tea in Dean Taylor's house will be held in November. This is a good opportunity for the Cwens, the freshman girls and the personnel who are going to decide if they become better acquainted.
The Cwens will also be hostesses in the Kansas Ballroom at a reception for the state legislators.
Freshman girls aren't the only people to benefit. According to Runnie Ehrebergh. Cwen Anderson, a graduate of an honor it is very worthwhile.
"We're all the Cween) very close. We meet glamour everyone we want to meet more. We're really sharing ourselves and creating lasting friendships."
Official KU enrollment passed the 20,000 mark this semester for the first time. William L. Kelly, registrar, said Tuesday.
Enrollment Hits 20,000
In announcing the final figure of 20,943 for combined campus enrollment, Kelly said that 18,318 students were enrolled at the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas. Lawrence campus and 1,525 were enrolled at the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas.
This is a 3.2 per cent increase over last fall's campus enrollment and a 5.3 per cent increase to the *King* Medical Center enrollment.
Indians Say Comanche Not the Only Survivor
Kelly said there were 2,986 freshmen; 3,313 sophomores; 3,334 juniors; 4,010 seniors and five year students; 4,909 law and graduate students; and 783 enrolled at the Lawrence campus.
According to Tom Beaver, spokesman for the Committee on Indian Affairs, the notion that the late George W. Bush was the sole survivor of "Cutter's last stand" discredited the fact that Indians lived through the battle.

Comanche, who is displayed in the Natural History Museum, was the subject of a story that appeared in Thursday's Kansas.
A sign labeling Comanche as the only survivor was removed from the school. Lawrence senior, and member of the Creek tribe, said Thursday
The Steering Committee recently has been organized to help Indian students at the University of Kansas and to
provide understanding of the problems of today's Indian people.
The committee plans to work for the addition of an Indian studies program at KU next year.
"We think Indian courses would be more interesting to more people than courses in other countries on campus," Beaver said.
Members of the committee think much controversy stems from white people's lack of knowledge of the realities. Beaver said that several faculty members in various departments had expressed interest in a possible money was the basic problem. Beaver has submitted a list of organizations to contact congratulatory counselor E. Laurence Chalmers J.
Physicist Returns From Germany
Giuseppe Dreschoff, a physicist from the University of Kanaas, returned recently from West Africa to Mahn-Meinter Institute for Nuclear Research about her study of radiation damage effects
Miss Dressehoff was invited by the institute because of her recent contact with the lab there. She was invited to speak after she went to Germany with the institute and the German physicians got to know her work.
The work in the United States and the work in Germany, Miss Kira said, is to salt formations. The purpose of her trip was to exchange information between the United States and Germany. Her work has been
part of a joint effort supported by the Atomic Energy Commission and the State Geological Survey at the University of Kansas.
"By getting this exchange of information," Miss Dresshoff said, "it will not be necessary to repeat what has been done in this versus this. This will help save time and money in solving problems."
Abortions
--performed immediately in order to preserve the life of the mother.
From Page 1
The Kansas Medical Society recently recommended to the state legislature that the abortions should be lowered to 18.
Many people contacting the Douglas County Health Department seem concerned about a woman accused of LMI. Reently a woman accused the city hospital of leaking the blood in the hospital for an abortion
"Fortunately for us," Dennis said. "it was discovered that a neighbor of the woman had just put two and two together."
THE FULL HAME of the woman receiving an abortion is listed on the surgery schedule, but the only people involved directly in the operation describe see the list. Dennison said.
Under the Kansas abortion statute, a therapeutic abortion is permitted if:
— There is a substantial risk the baby will be born with physical or mental defects.
—There is substantial risk that a continuance of the pregnancy would impair the physical or mental health of the mother.
—Where the pregnancy resulted from rape, incest, or other "felonious intercourse."
—An emergency exists which requires that the abortion be
AN ABORTION IS performed on the average of one every 35 hours at LMH. This represents about 10 per cent of all surgeries performed at the city hospital. The majority of abortions is over 21 years of age, unmarried, and a resident of Douglas county, according to figures released by LMH. The date of birth was July 1, 1970 to June 30, 1979.
According to the State Department of Health, more than 8,300 therapeutic abortions were made during the same time period.
Ninety-five per cent of all
custody cases in LMH were based on emotional
disturbances. This figure compares with 90 per cent for the
companies with 90 per cent for
Dr. Schwiegler feels uneasy about the number of abortions being performed for mental health reasons.
PROBLEMS ARISE because the law does not define what constitutes health. It is left up to the discretion of the individual.
"Either we must be living in a madhouse, or we're not adhering to the letter of the law," he said.
THE LAW REQUIRES the consent of three licensed physicians before the abortion my Lawren that this requirement is a nuisance. In most cases, after the woman has given her consent, the physician, she is not examined by the other two. They sign the papers without actually seeing them.
"This implies that the woman can't make up her own mind," said Br Clinton. "Why should I be so upset?" she somebody else? "That screwy."
"Our purpose should be to make it as easy on the woman as possible," Dr. Clinton said, "The women who are trained less traumatic it is for her."
Many Lawrence doctors are concerned that abortion might become the contraceptive of the decade, but women returning for an abortion for the third or fourth time. When asked by Dr. Clinton why they allowed themselves to get an abortion, they would reply, "I don't know."
STATISTICS SHOW, according to Mrs. Sears, that if the 45 million women of child bearing age were on the pill, 250,000 pregnancies a year would result in 85 per cent of women only 85 to 98 percent effective, she said. "This emphasizes the importance of

"Abortion is still considered a dirty word," according to Mrs. Sears, but people's attitudes are changing through education.

"CONTRACEPTION it the ideal," said Mrs. Sears. "But let's face it, we're not there." For this reason therapeutic abortions are practiced in Missouri as a back up technique, she said. With the liberalized abortion laws birth rates still continue to rise. Two-hundred and thirty seven abortions are performed every 1,000 live births in Kansas.
