The W.S.G.A. governs the women of the University of Kansas. Founded May 19, 1909, just 30 years ago, the W.S.G.A. has enjoyed phenomenal growth and is a tribute both to the rise of equality of women in affairs of government, and to the University in which it operates. The M.S.C. was founded the same year. Governing more than 400 women on a campus of over 2000 students in 1909, Maybeth Parker headed a W.S.G.A. council of seven members. Today, the council is an adult organization of 18 women leaders legislating for more than 1500.
Sponsors with the M.S.C. the Student Forum Board which conducts open forums of student interest and educational movies.
Posses and enforces speeding and parking regulations on the campus; represents the women of the University on all committees of student concern; cooperates in sponsoring pep meetings for athletic events.
