Kansas Women Try Politics
Kansas women have been able to vote for over a century, but now they are joining forces to write a real future in state politics.
"Women's role in politics" is the theme of the meeting between Kansas college women and prominent state Republican women leaders at 1:30 p.m. Dec. 4, at the Hotel Jaiyahawk, Topeka. Mrs. Hazel Avery, wife of Gov. William Avery, will have a reception at the Cedarcrest Mansion, following the meeting.
INITIATOR AND organizer of the meeting and reception is Elizabeth Schmidt, Wilmette, Ill., sophomore, state chairman of the Kansas Women's Federation, Collegiate Young Republicans, and secretary of the KU-CYR club.
"This has never been done before. We are trying to set up a tradition or precedence," Miss Schmidt said. "The meeting and reception are informal and all women from different colleges throughout the state are invited.
"Ive asked the club chairmen of the different colleges to bring the women in," she said. "We are expecting 100 girls to attend."
Miss Schmidt said she met Saturday with Mrs. Avery to plan the reception.
"WE PLANNED just an informal tea with holiday-ish decorations," Miss Schmidt said. "The mansion gives a lot of possibilities to work with."
Mrs. Avery, who will be in Mexico until Sunday attending a convention with the governor, was not available for comment. Her social secretary, Miss Caroline Leiter, said that besides the tea, the women will probably be taken through parts of the mansion.
MRS. ROBERT C. Londerholm, wife of Attorney Gen. Londerholm, Mrs. Susie Van Sickle, wife of Kansas senator Tom Van Sickle who also is serving as national chairman of the Young Republicans, and Miss Lula K. Baum, chairman of the Kansas Republican Women's Federation, are among the list of prominent Republican women invited to the reception.
Donna Addington, Republican national committeewoman, will carry the theme of women in politics in her speech during the meeting.
Invitations will be sent to Kansas universities inviting any woman, whether Republican or Democrat, to attend, Miss Schmidt said.
"IVE ALREADY talked to other club chaimen and they have given me a list of girls to contact at their colleges." Miss Schmidt said.

If communications were good enough you could stay in the sack all day
Moving your body around is highly inefficient.
If communications were perfect, you would never have to. Of course,you would still have to get exercise. But that's your problem.
We want to make it easier for you to contact people,learn, get information,attend lectures and hold meetings.
We developed Picturephone* service so you can see as well as talk when you call. And be seen, too. We introduced Tele-Lecture service (two-way amplified phone calls) to let you hear lecturers in distant locations. And so you could ask them questions no matter how far away they were.
Right now, many students can dial from their dormitories to a language lab. Soon a student will be able to dial into a computer thousands of miles away to get information for his courses.
Depending on the nature of the information, he might get his answer back audibly, printed on a teletypewriter, as a video image, or a facsimile print.
Some of these services are available now. Others are being tested.
For the next week or so better get a move on.
