Georgy Girl is Workshop model
By PATRICIA PRUITT
Georgy Girl had to jump off that shelf and be herself in order to find herself.
This idea of personal dynamism in a changing world is the reason why Ron Miller, S. J., chose "Come Alive, Georgy Girl!" as the title for the Jesuit-sponsored workshop for college women Sunday.
The conference at Hayden West High School in Topeka is not restricted to Catholics. The fee, including lunch, is $1.50.
PANEL DISCUSSIONS, movies, open discussions and dramatic readings are part of the agenda for the day-long meet lasting from 9 a.m. till 9 p.m.
Transportation to and from the Topeka bus station will be provided. Barbara Toyne, Chillicothe, Mo., graduate student, is in charge of KU arrangements.
Miller and Mike Alchediak, S. J., both of the St. Louis University Divinity School at St. Marys, are the chief organizers.
"The songs and movie 'Georgy Girl' hit on the fact that you need to jump into things and take a risk to find yourself," Miller said.
"Someone said there are two kinds of people-picture people and drama people. The former have a story-book world and are static, being unable to adjust to change. The latter are dynamic and keeping pace with the world.
"WE WANT TO FIND OUT whether these girls can handle the changing world," he said.
The tendency is to turn inward, he said, "while the point is to make yourself free to other people, so that you can interact fully in the spirit of love.
"It is a matter of personalizing yourself, religion, the church, the clergy. This, in part, was what happened in Vatican II.
"The POINT IS not to theologize too much," he said. "You can theologize the religion away."
Panel discussions at the workshop include "New Faith Crisis," "New Morality, and "Challenge of Vatican II." A panel discussion on "Women's Role in the Changing Church" will include an extension worker from Topeka, a lay theologian and his wife, and a nun from Oklahoma.
Movies include "The Parable" and "The Prophet." A dramatic reading from "Frannie and Zooey" will be given.
International groups unite
A small group of KU students has been instrumental in the founding of a national corporation.
Understanding is CI goal
At a three-day national convention in St. Louis last weekend, nine KU students and about 50 other delegates from other universities formulated and ratified the constitution and by-laws of Collegiate International (CI).
CI is an organization formed to "foster and encourage mutual understanding between foreign and American students and among all people through research, education and communications." It enables students to work together in a common effort toward international understanding within their own student directed and financed organization.
CI was born last October at the national convention of People-to-People in Kansas City.
IN OCTOBER, college P-t-P chapters were confronted with the problem facing the national organization of People-to-People that its collegiate chapters were growing so rapidly that the national organization was unable to coordinate their activities. At that time, the organization and operation of the collegiate chapters was given to the student leaders of People-to-People. The students accepted the challenge and became the National Council of Collegiate Chapters of People-to-People (NCCC) and Dale Sprague McPherson senior, was elected president.
Since October, NCCC has broadened its scope to include not only collegiate People-to-People chapters but all university organizations involved in international programming. Providing national identity for such organizations, NCCC changed its name to Collegiate International and now offers various activities and services such as the Student Abroad program to Europe, the sister university program and nationwide communications.
Collegiate International will soon be incorporated as a nonprofit corporation organized and operated by students.
KU students hold a number of national offices in CI. Gayle Miltenberger, Webster Groves senior, is affiliations coordinator; and Ruth Rohrer, Fort Scott junior, is editor of CI's national monthly newsletter with a circulation of more than 1,000 CI members and foreign student advisors. Steve Rodd, Wichita sophomore, is National Student Abroad Home Welcome coordinator and was recently elected the regional representative from Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Kansas and Nebraska. Prakash Nagori, Maharashtra, India senior, was elected representative-at-large.
Other students who attended
the convention were Frank Hummer, Topea sophomore and National Conference chairman; and Sue Moore, Atchison junior and member of CI's secretarial staff. Sandy Graham, Kansas City, Mo., senior, and Jerry Ninginer. Hutchinson freshman, attended as representatives of KU's People-to-People chapter, an affiliate of Collegiate International.
