CRC Debates Bias In Women's Dorms
The Civil Rights Council last night discussed the University regulation requiring freshmen women to provide pictures of themselves along with other registration materials.
The University's policy states that this picture be provided for "personality references." The CRC feels such a policy is discriminatory because it allows the University to place women of the same race together.
Charles Menghini, Pittsburg senior, and CRC co-chairman, gave two reasons why the University follows this policy:
- The University needs pictures for personal records. The pictures are placed in the woman's file for later reference.
- Some freshman women have a difficult time adjusting to university life if placed in a room with a woman of a different race. Pictures for classification purposes help solve this problem.
Marsha Dutton, Colby sophomore and a CRC member, recently talked with Emily Taylor, dean of women, about alleged discrimination in roommate selection. Dean Taylor explained that Negro and white women can room together if they request it.
Menghini suggested that in the future the University should send out brochures to freshman women saying that white and Negro women may live together within the dormitories.
Miss Dutton suggested that the University could also send out a form asking if the freshman woman would be willing to live in a room with a woman of a different race.
Miss Dutton said, "I don't think any two women have to be close friends to be roommates, but the women are getting more and more concerned about this problem."
Tom Moore, executive secretary of the KU-Y and CRC adviser, said the parents of women students are usually more concerned about the problem than parents of men students.
"Parents seem to look after their daughters more than their sons," he said. "That is probably the reason the University does not practice discrimination in men's dormitories."
Moore said it has been proven at KU that integrated women's rooms are possible.
Later Menghini said during the CRC meeting it is not the policy of the CRC to force integration.
"In the 1940s, a few of the University's houses on campus practiced integration and it was very successful."
"This question has been misinterpreted many times," he said, "and I want to make it clear that the CRC does not force integration in any way."

Governor for Wichita Plan
WICHITA — (UPI) — Kansas would benefit by bringing Wichita University into the state system, Gov. John Anderson told WU Collegeiate Young Republicans last night.
"The state would be well served educationally and economically by bringing Wichita University into our state's system," he said. "It should be brought in under the Board of Regents."
- No legislative directive as to the function of the university if brought into the state system, this is to be left to the judgment of the Board of Regents.
- Anderson said three points should be observed in any move.
- The transfer should occur immediately or within the shortest time possible.
- All property should be debt free insofar as a state obligation is concerned.
"Municipal Universities in Wichita and Topeka have experienced a great increase in enrollment in recent years and expected enrollments have caused concern as to their ability to continue to serve students seeking higher education," Anderson said.
