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
about changes in the role of women in the University since 1956 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

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
Bv a Kansan reporter
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.
White was convicted of voluntary manslaughter in the case on Sept. 26
Tobert pleaded no contest to aiding and abetting voluntary 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 terroristic 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.

Fourth quarter ISU rally erases 10-0 Jayhawk lead
BY ANNE LUSCOMBE
he rain running down the Kansas players' faces turned to tears as the blustery homecoming game ended in a last-second defeat to Iowa State 13-10.
If nothing had been at stake Saturday, the players may have enjoyed sliding around on the drenched, slippery field. But the Jayhawks had a lot riding on this game. It was the Big Eight Conference opener, Homecoming Day and an opportunity to win four consecutive games.
But all of that was taken away in the last five seconds of the game.
The Cyclones proved synonymous to their name in the fourth quarter, storming back from a 10-0 deficit with 13 unanswered points.
