THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
9
Individual opportunity Leadership Day theme
Individual opportunity was the theme of High School Leadership DAY sponsored by Associated Women Students (AWS) Saturday in the Kansas Union Ballroom.
Pam Castor, chairman of the event and Kansas City, Kan., junior said in her opening address, "KU, as well as life in general, has so much to offer. How you the individual fit in to university life, if you decide to attend KU, is important."
Miss Castor reminded the girls to, "Keep your eyes and ears open while you are here. There is a lot to see and things are changing."
Dean of Women, Emily Taylor, welcomed the group of 200 high school girls and their hostesses by giving a background of the day itself. She stressed the importance of the event saying that the transition from high school to college was large and it could be made easier by this type of prior introduction.
"This program is built around people with every opportunity offered to the individual to meet people," she said. "We must make you aware of the opportunities of a university so that the choices you make will be meaningful."
After Dean Taylor spoke, James E. Gunn, administrative assistant to the chancellor addressed the girls. He pointed out that it was his responsibility to try and communicate what higher education is all about.
"In all its forms, there is something unique about a university," Gunn said. "The distinction lies in the fact that a college teaches while a university learns."
Following his speech, the girls split into discussion groups.

The high school visitors ate lunch in the freshman residence halls and then took a tour of the campus. The remaining part of the afternoon was filled with continued discussion groups, a fashion show and filling out questionaires for the A.W.S. committee. These questionaires will aid the committee next year to determine the questions that high school girls have about KU.
Robert Kennedy memorial planned
DETROIT (UPI)—Mrs. Rose Kennedy said in Detroit Sunday that her family is planning to establish a living memorial for her slain son, Sen. Robert F. Kennedy.
She said the form of the memorial had not been established, but it would be "appropriate to Boky's energy and interest in the underprivileged."
Mrs. Kennedy was in Detroit to address a meeting. She also presented an award to state Rcp, Joseph M. Snyder, for his work in prevention of mental retardation.
YAF urges students to vote
National leaders for Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) are attempting to thwart plans by Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) to boycott Nov. 5 elections.
Alan MacKay, national chairman of YAF, has written letters to student leaders across the nation urging them to participate in election day activities.
"I urge all students of voting age to vote for candidates of their choice, nationally and in local contests," said MacKay. "Those students under voting age should work the precincts and perform other tasks on Nov. 5 to aid the candidate of their choice."
Patronize Kansan Advertisers
YAF is both student and politically oriented. Although most members have recently expressed a preference for Richard Nixon, the organization per se does not make political endorsements, said MacKay.
"Regardless of their choice, students should make their feelings felt in the democratic process," MacKay said. "I find it ironic that those in SDS who advocate 'participatory democracy' advocate a boycott of our national elections and participation in our political process."
