CAREER OR COMPANION
Study asks coeds' attitudes
By Karen Henderson
Should marriage be a partnership between husband and wife? Should women be required to serve in the military as long as there is a draft system? Can a woman marry and pursue a career as well?
These are a few of the 58 questions asked in a questionnaire distributed to women majoring in anthropology, elementary education, journalism and zoology.
DEBORAH MASTERS, Cairo,
Egypt, senior, made the questionnaire for a senior seminar class in sociology. She picked these four departments because she thought she "would get a larger range of opinion from these groups."
"The study deals with Parson's patterns. His theory is that there are five patterns: the glamour girl, the domestic pattern, the emancipation pattern, the good companion and the career pattern," she said.
Role of women featured for this week on campus
The role of women is being emphasized this week when, at the invitation of Mortar Board, senior women's honor society, 11 women graduates who have proven themselves successful in their particular fields will come to KU.
The only planned activities on a campus-wide basis will be two discussion groups held simultaneously at 7 p.m., Wednesday, April 27, at Hashinger Hall and Miller Hall. Six of the women graduates will be present on campus at this time, and will split their forces to form two panels discussing "The Mind and the Mop: the Great Compromise."
THE WOMEN WHO ARE coming and the living groups where they are staying are as follows: Ruth Miller Winson, former national president of Alpha Chi Omega sorority, Delta Delta Delta; Blossom Randall, writer, Alpha Chi Omega; Gussie Gaskill, editor of an academic journal, Kappa Alpha Theta.
Ruth Gagliardo, author of children's books, Chi Omega; Hazelle Rollins, business woman and owner of the world's largest marionette factory; Virginia Nelson, psychologist, Lewis Hall; Maud Ellsworth, professor emeritus of art education, Sellards Hall.
"I expect girls in one department to be strong in several patterns. There should be more emphasis in one area on one or two patterns," she said.
Jean Stouffer, dean of women at Fort Hays State; Beatrice Jacquart, member of Kansas House of Representatives, Pi Beta Phi; Helen Huyck, writer for the Kansas City Star, Alpha Omicron Pi; and Martha Peterson, former KU dean of women, now dean at the University of Wisconsin, Corbin Hall.
SHE EXPECTS education majors to fall into the domestic and good companion pattern.
"The journalism majors I'm not sure about, I think they will fall into the good companion, glamour girl pattern," Miss Masters said.
The anthropology and zoology majors she expects to follow the emancipation and career patterns with anthropology majors emphasizing emancipation and zoology majors emphasizing careers.
"I DISTRIBUTED the questionnaires to 20 girls in each department mainly for time purposes," she said. "Another reason is that there are 24 girls in the zoology department."
Miss Masters has been working on the questionnaire all semester. She is also taking a research course which she said helped to determine "the types of questions that indicate certain things and what questions can be used for statistical purposes and what can be used only for general background."
Other questions on the questionnaire ask the student to explain why she is or is not going to graduate school, what her parents' attitudes toward education and toward marriage and career are, and what she think she basis of marriage should be.
