Women's Affairs
AWS Structure Explained
(Editor's note: This is the first in a series of editorials and informative articles written by various members of the Associated Women Students in an attempt to explain the many facets of AWS on the KU campus, Ann Peterson, Shawnee Mission senior and president of AWS, draws the broad outlines of the organization this week.)
Although active and familiar in the lives of women at the University of Kansas, the Associated Women Students (AWS) organization may not be as well understood by the men students and faculty. In a series of articles under the title of "Women's Affairs," various members of AWS will present their concerns and activities to the campus as a whole.
Far from being a mystical fem-
instist organization. AWS is a real and vital organization serving the particular needs of women students, encouraging outstanding scholarship and participation in all areas of KU life.
OF TOP PRIORITY to the women students is their right to govern themselves. From 1809 and the first "Women's Self-Governing Association" to the establishment of AWS proper in 1848, women students at the University of Kansas believe they have the right and responsibility to make their own rules and to enforce them.
Each year delegates from all organized women's living groups meet to decide on the regulations for the coming year. Standards Boards in the living groups exist to clarify the general rules with
regard to the demands of community living and the needs of the individual. The AWS Senate composes the central Standards Board that deals with exceptions and violations of the regulations made by the women.
The AWS Senate, the executive and deliberative body of AWS, is composed of officers elected in the spring of each year by the entire population of women students and thus is responsible to all the women. The runners-up to these officers become the chairmen of committees decided on at the new Senate's Spring Retreat.

desides the well-known projects such as High School Leadership Day, Cwens, All Women's Week, Honor's Night, and Senior Privileges, the Senate has a representative to the national women's organization IAWS (the Intercollegiate Associated Women Students), a committee on Foreign Relations, and a Commission on the Status of Women, patterned after the national one but created to function on a local level. All these activities show AWS' concern for women not only while they are in college, in Lawrence, but also concern for their future—foreign and domestic, married and career.
The AWS Senate has projects firmly established with broad participation, but it is an open body always ready to discuss and take action on matters that immediately involve the women of KU. Please do not hesitate to bring your inspirations and your grievances before this body, functioning to serve the women students and the university.
