One woman can make a difference.
Elizabeth Miller Watkins, the woman who donated the money for Watkins and Miller scholarship halls, made a difference in the lives of the women who lived there.
Some of those women who returned for the Watkins Hall 60th anniversary reunion during the weekend listened yesterday to a panel of speakers discuss the topic of how or
about changes in the role of women in the University since 1936 and about the work she has done in Washington, D.C., as director of the American Council of Education on Women.
"When I came here, things were pretty status quo — you remember the '50s," she told the crowd. "Some women were still willing to be Victorian. They would go from (being dependent on) father, to husband, to son."
"It wasn't a happy time. So

Taylor has worked for the American Council on Education helping to bring attention to the talents of women in the university system.
Fox was a pioneer in journalism. After her graduation in 1937, she went on to work as an advertising manager for Marshall Fields stores in Chicago and as a reporter
Some Kansas city could become the new Hollywood under the guidance of the professional advisory committee for the KU theatre and media arts department.
KU actors to get guidance
By PATRICIA FEENY Staff writer
The committee is made up of KU graduates who now are working as professionals in television, film and theater. The purpose of the committee, which met Friday at Murphy Hall, is to raise money and oversee plans to build professional studios and bring more film making to Kansas.
Rebecca Balding, who appeared as
a regular on the television series "Soap" and "Makin' It," said the KU program would provide students with a better view of the professional actor's world.
Balding, a 1970 KU graduate, said she would have liked the University to have such a program when she was attending classes. Her first television assignment was an episode of "Barnaby Jones," which she said she was not ready for.
"I had a lot of theater experience, but you can't see yourself or study your work on stage." she said.
The department of theatre combined its program with media arts last
fall to give students more opportunities to practice and broaden their skills.
Niven graduated from KU in 1968 and had frequent roles on "Alice" and "The Waltons."
"It makes so much sense for them to be together," said Kip Niven, another graduate. "A student gets more visibility by combining theater and media arts. We have to be able to teach what will put KU at the forefront."
He said more space, equipment and money would be needed for the program. He said KU had one of the best theatre programs in the country
Lawrence man pleads no contest
By a Kansan reporter
White was convicted of voluntary manslaughter in the case on Sept. 26
A Lawrence man, originally indicted on second-degree murder charges, pleaded no contest Friday in Douglas County District Court to aiding and abetting voluntary manslaughter.
Sherman Tolbert, 32, was charged with second-degree murder along with Curtis White, 30. Lawrence. They were charged in connection with the shooting death of Russell Gensler, 26, on May 31 in Centennial Park
Tolbert pleaded no contest to aiding and abetting volun
tary manslaughter and one count of aggravated battery. Several witnesses testified during White's trial that they had seen Tolbert shoot Gensler.
Frank Diehl, Douglas County assistant district attorney, said Tolbert's plea was the result of a plea bargain in which one count of making a terrorist threat, one count of criminal damage to property and one count of resisting arrest were dropped.
The sentence for aiding and abetting voluntary manslaughter ranges from three to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $15,000. The sentence for aggravated battery ranges from six months to three years in the Douglas County jail.

Cowboys blown over by winds, Nebraska
United Press International
Winter-like weather and the Nebraska Cornhuskers hit Oklahoma at about the same time, and the Oklahoma State Cowboys couldn't handle either.
MU kicker sets record
The fifth-ranked Cornhuskers opened their Big Eight Conference season Saturday, beating Oklahoma State 30-10. Blustery winds and rain hampered the game.
In other conference games, Colorado picked up its first victory of the season by beating Missouri 17-12, and Iowa State beat Kansas 13-10, extending its winning streak to four games. Sixth-ranked Oklahoma beat Texas 47-12 in the lone non-conference game.
Big Eight Roundup
Temperatures dipped into the 306 and a northwestery wind made it seem even colder. Throw in some light rain and you have the ingredients for a fairly miserable night.
"It was not a good night to play offensive football," Nebraska head coach Tom Osborne said. "The field was wet, the ball was wet and the cold was a fairly big factor."
Nebraska's third-quarter drive was marred by three personal foul calls on Oklahoma State.
"The personal fouls really got our guys and when we came out we felt 'let's really stuff them,'" said Nebraska middle guard Danny Noonan.
write the defense allowed just a field goal in the game — Oklahoma State's touchdown occurred when Jerry Deckard returned an interception. The kicking game was an important factor for the 5-0 Cornhuskers. Nebraska had 214 yards in kick and punt returns.
"Until I see the film I can't say if it was bad play on our part or an outstanding job by Nebraska," said Pat Jones, whose Cowboys fell to 2-3. "I do know that going into the game I feared Nebraska's returns.
"The kicking game and penalties were probably the deciding factor, other than that it was a pretty even game."
"We just heard the sound of the ball, turned around and went crazy," said Whelihan, who kicked the field goal with 37 seconds left in the first half.
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Tigers place-kicker Tom Welhain said he had a good feeling as soon as he kicked his record-setting 62-yard field goal Saturday in Missouri's 17-12 loss to Colorado.
"I didn't even know how far it went. I just had that feeling, and it was history," Welhian said.
Weihlan's kick was two yards better than the previous Big Eight best, a 1973 score by Oklahoma's Tony BiRienzel in a game against Kansas.
Thanks to Whelian, a junior from Carrollton, Texas, the Missouri and Big Eight conference field goal records also are history. Whelian's kick was eight yards longer than the previous school record, which he had set last season against Oklahoma
The 67 yard field goal also was the mith longest in NCAA history, tied with kicks by three other players — Joe Williams of

In addition, Whelihan kicked two 56-plus field goals last year and had a 51-yard against Utah State earlier this season. He missed a 55-yard attempt at Syracuse last year.
Wichita State in 1978, and Steve Little from Arkansas and Russell Erxleben from Texas, both in 1977.
But one failure won't stop Whelihan
"I love going into situations where people say I can't do it and I do it," he said. "I feel like putting it right back in their faces.
All of Missouri's nine points against Syracuse last week came from Whelihan, as did half the Tigers' on Saturday.
Whethan's kicking ability is the high point of Missouri's less than potent offense.
"He has been kicking the ball with tremendous distance in practice," said Missouri coach Woody Widenhofer. "I have a lot of confidence in Tom."
And Whelihan has a lot of confidence in his abilities.
"If they want me to go up to 70 (yards), I'll go for 70," he said.
beating Texas.
"I really believe this is the best Oklahoma team I have seen, and I have been on that field a lot of times," said Texas head coach Fred Akers. "I don't know if a team can play better. They played flawless football."
Oklahoma's Patrick Collins said, "We had our heads on our shoulders right today and we executed properly. I was fortunate to get some great blocks out there today. I haven't scored three touchdowns in a game since high school."
Collins scored on runs or 9, at 14 and 25 in Colorado became the second 0-4 team in two weeks to beat Missouri, 1.4. The Buffaloes had lost three straight games after owner the lead until late in the game. With Missouri driving toward the end of the game, it appeared No. 4.

"It was an ugly win but we'll take any win," said Buffalofoes linebacker Jim Quackenbush. "In practice we put a lot of work on ending the game strong. We had a lot of conditioning because in the past three losses we died at the end of the game. We did not want to lose this one."
Missouri kicker Tom Whelihan set a Big Eight record with a 62-yard field goal in the game.
But John Nairn intercepted a 'Tigers' pass and the Colorado offense ran out the clock and won the game.

A pair of intra-state matchups highlight this week's Big Eight schedule with Oklahoma State playing at Oklahoma and Kansas traveling to Kansas State. Nebraska will serve as host to Missouri, and Iowa State will go to the mountains for a game with Colorado.
Iowa State improved to 4-1 with a Rick Frank 33-yard field goal with five seconds to play in the game. The field goal helped the Cyclones beat Kansas, 3-2.

Both quarterbacks fought the same conditions, but Espinoza, who has three years and five games experience, was able to overcome the obstacles. Orth, who has six games experience, was not.

For Orth, the agony continued. He ended up completing only five of 20 passes for 80 yards and no touchdowns
With the loss, Kansas is in for a tough second half of the season. The Jayhawks play four of their final six games on the road, and the only two home games are against Nebraska and
With the victory, Iowa State now has a chance to have one of its best seasons ever.
