AWS should stay: WLF
The Women's Liberation Front (WLF) is not considering abolishing the Associated Women Students (AWS), Suzanne Atkins, Leavenworth sophomore and co-organizer of WLF said last night.
After representatives of both groups met informally in the Kansas Union Ballroom, Miss Atkins said, "I have found out a lot of good things about the AWS, I would not want to abolish it."
Reagan O'Neill, Overland Park junior and AWS president, and Ellen Tyler, Kansas City junior and AWS vice president, cleared the air by squelching several rumors the WLF members were concerned about. They also asked WLF members about the ISP platform plank advocating abolition of the AWS.
Bechka Sitterly, Ottawa sophomore and WLF co-organizer, said, "Our affiliation with the Independent Student Party has become confused. Our goals are separate and we are not an ISP controlled organization."
Miss Atkins said it was probably her fault that an ISP position paper on the status of women was attributed to her.
"I can back in spirit the ISP party and what it is trying to do overall, but I'm not backing the abolishment of AWS.

"The AWS has been restructured and has been working for many of the same things we're working for, but many of the students don't know this.
"I would be very interested in representing independent women students living off-campus."
WLF members agreed to keep their organization officially registered and to get more representatives on AWS.
"We will keep WLF a concerned, action group to get an immediate response when something is bothering people," Miss Atkins said.
Karna Ostrum, Shaker Heights, Ohio junior and AWS retiring vice president, said the AWS rules were to protect the individual women students. When you make each living group autonomous,you often have stricter rules enforced,she added.

Boyle, a Pulitzer Prize winner, has been with the AP since he was 17. Before entering his journalism career, however, Boyle had aspirations of being an engineer, a druggist, a cartoonist, a doctor and a teacher.

"I'd still like to be a teacher," he says, "because it's the most inspiring occupation I know except motherhood and I'm not built for that."
Boyle's fame began with his coverage of World War II from the common GI's point of view.
He has since covered the Korean conflict and Vietnam.
Boyle went through the three wars without a wound, except for a sprained back he suffered when a motorcycle spun out of control and hit him while he was watching a parade in Paris.
Comparing the wars, Boyle once said, "Korea differed from the Second World War because the men who fought it in the beginning were regular Army—not draftees."
In Vietnam, Boyle said the men are fighting idealistically. "During my tour there in '65," he said, "I found it to be the first war in history where the
Vietnamese on both sides take a midday siesta while the American GIs continue to work their battle duty."
He says he finds common folk more interesting than the high and mighty and that every human being has a story to tell.
Boyle's globe-trotting escapades have brought him in contact with, "kooks, saints, scallawags, and sinners."
"I think this is a hard world and I think every human in it, at one time or another, has a hard time," he said. The thing I admire most is people who face life with courage, loyalty and a sense of humor."
