KU to Host Next AWS Convention
KU has been selected as the cite for the 1961 regional Intercollegiate Associated Women Students' Convention. The decision was made at the region three convention last weekend at the University of Missouri.
The size of KU's delegation at MU was pointed out by Ann Hoopingarner, Dallas, Tex., junior and president of KU's AWS, as one reason for KU's election. She said that eight of the 11-member delegation were freshmen and sophomores and will be on the campus to plan the 1962 convention.
The addition to the Kansas Union, the location of the University, the fact that KU has had a strong AWS for some time and that KU was the sight of the IAWS Convention in 1955 were other reasons for KU's election. Miss Hoopingarner said.
Miss Hoopingarner said that the timing of this year's regional convention of IAWS was ideal. She said that the newly elected KU AWS Senate will be dealing with the problems that were discussed at workshops during the convention.
Members of the convention discussed common problems that arise on their campuses.
University women who attended the convention were.
Miss Hoopingarner; Nan Newton, Kansas City, Diane Hoisington, Paradise, juniors; Sara Farmer, Pratt sophomore; Lois Ann Ragsdale, Kansas City, Naney Copeland, St. John; Karlene Howell, Kansas City, Barbara Wingard, Independence sophomores; Marilyn Cory, Wichita Sandra Hays, Salina and Gail Geiger, Kansas City, freshmen.
