THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
5
Cwens visit KU; busy day
Discussion groups, workshops and featured speakers comprised the agenda for the Saturday session of the 1968 National Cwen Convention.
Cwens, a sophomore women's honorary society, was represented by approximately 170 girls from 23 chapters.
The twenty-second annual convention, held in the Kansas Union, was hosted by KU's Tau chapter.
Opening Saturday's session, discussion groups met to evaluate the organization's role in university life. Representatives considered the relevancy of Cwens to social revolutions occurring on their campuses. Also under discussion was effectiveness of policies in dealing with campus problems.
Pointing out the changes in youth attitudes and education during past decades, Emily Taylor, Dean of Women, delivered a keynote address to the visitors.
In her speech, "Renaissance, 1968-Cwen Style," Miss Taylor correlated the Cwens' role with social changes since the 1920's, when Cwens was founded.
Relating major social changes to educational attitudes through decades, Miss Taylor said, "Youth problems are synonymous with economic and social problems." In post-war days, society demanded of them a sense of responsibility as education grew in importance, she said.
Miss Taylor also cited contributing factors in modern-day student revolt. Decline of importance in family life, increased awareness of the world's plight, opposition to war and shock of degradation of the poor were among reasons she gave.
Complementing Miss Taylor's speech was a film of Project Concern.
A luncheon featuring a fashion show of different Cwen uniforms was next on the agenda.
Miss America Speaks
Miss Debra Barnes, Cwen alum and former Miss America 1968 was the featured speaker.
Miss Barnes spoke of the assistance she received from Cwens in winning her title.
The Cwens first nominated her for the Kansas State College competition, she said. Later in final competition in Atlantic City, her membership in Cwens was impressive to the judges.

Miss Barnes told of her travelling experiences during her reign and mentioned the difficult transition from student to Miss America and back again.
She found during her travels that she was not totally isolated from formal education.
"I wasn't away from education completely because the trip was a tremendous education for me," she said.
"I learned to appreciate educational opportunities and friends when away from home," Miss Barnes said.
She concluded her talk with an original piano arrangement.
The Cwens met in workshops during the afternoon and discussed freshman orientation, ritual and election procedures.
The convention closed with the traditional Anglo-Saxon feast at Lewis Hall.
