AWS takes forward look
Female role queried
By PATRICIA PRUITT
The question has ceased to be what women do with themselves, and has become what they could be doing and how others appreciate what they are already doing.
Therefore, the AWS Commission on the Status of Women is going deeper than the traditional questionnaire this year. A series of seminars within the commission, followed by written reports to be distributed to the female populace, deal with uncommon topics.
THE AMERICAN WOMAN in organized religion, in American literature, and in government are the three major phases under study. A panel of ministers from all faiths on campus will discuss the relationship of women to the clergy; specifically, as to whether they should be ordained.
Sara Paretsky, Eudora senior and chairman of the commission, said, "The commission itself, after discussing the subject, feels that women are capable of handling the responsibility of ordination as well as men, but the clergy in general do not feel this way."
This seminar is scheduled for after Christmas vacation. A seminar with English department speakers is planned also.
MOST SEMINARS ARE among the commission members only. When speakers visit, however, subcommiteemen are added to the audience.
The commission members are Cathy Beagle, Boulder, Colo. senior; Karen Hall, McPherson junior; Carol Shapley, Wichita freshman; and Sharon Robertson, Prairie Village senior.
Each of the members is doing a special study.

of women in areas of law and politics. Miss Robertson is concentrating on the religious aspect, and commission seminars on theology are now underway. Miss Hall is making a survey of novels on the best-seller lists, investigating their portrayal of women. Miss Shapley is studying women in comic strips.
ALTHOUGHT the commission is carrying on survey work on what the average college woman graduate does with her schooling, they consider the seminars as the most important phase. "This is so because," Miss Paretsky said, "it's
what's most important to us. This is our own interest, and next year the commission head will do what is most important to her."
Miss Paretsky handpicked her commission members this year, because she felt they were four most likely to share her interest.

The unique projects sprang from a gab session at the home of Mrs. Paul Crawford, assistant dean of women and commission sponsor.
"After we got started on the ideas," Miss Paretsky said, "it seemed like the most natural thing in the world."
State to review collegiate budgets
By DAN AUSTIN
KU's share of that total is $38,145,725, making it the most costly single investment in higher education for Kansas taxpayers.
Money—$112,911,515 worth of it—will be scrutinized by state officials next Dec. 20 before it becomes the official budget request of the six Kansas state universities and colleges.
They will meet with members of the Board of Regents, who are ultimately responsible for compiling state university budget needs.
The KU budget, up $2,995,000 since last year, is in three parts:
$29,789,022 for general education.
- $5,854,953 for auxiliary enterprises—which are items such as the Kansas Union and similar university-related functions,
- $2,501,750 for capital improvements—in other words, classroom buildings.
GIVEN IN SECTIONS to the Regents throughout the year, the KU budget has yet to be cut or amended by the Board.
However, the final budget must not only hurdle the Kansas legislature, but also Governor-elect Docking, who has promised taxpayers "reduced spending" on the state level.
Will the new governor order a cut-back in KU spending? No, he doesn't want to know.
"He hasn't given us any indication of what he plans to do," says Max Bickford, Regent executive officer.
