WLF, ISP ask AWS to quit
The Independent Student Party (ISP) has officially adopted the platform of the Women's Liberation Front (WLF) said Marilyn Bowman, Merriam junior and ISP vice-presidential candidate, in an interview yesterday.
Miss Bowman said ISP recognized that KU women were among groups on campus which are discriminated against.
"No one needs to be reminded of the secondary status of women in American life. But it is more difficult to isolate the current forms of this repression in the University community, and to cite specific steps to reduce it," said the ISP candidate.
Having adopted the WLF platform as a plank of the ISP
--platform, ISP proposes abolition of Associated Women Students. In its place, ISP supports local determination of each local women's living group.
Correction
The University Daily Kansan incorrectly stated the number of candidates running for election from each school, said Chuck Loveland, Riley senior and ASC elections committee chairman.
The corrections are: College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, 14; Centennial College, 5; Corbin College, 5; North Corbin College, 4; Oliver College, 5; Pearson College, 5; Architecture School, 2; Business School, 2; Education School, 9; Engineering School, 6; Fine Arts School, 5; Journalism School, 2; Law School, 2; Pharmacy School, 2; and Graduate School, 14.
To insure interaction, Miss Bowman suggested "regularly scheduled seminars to promote discussion from all sectors of the KU female population."
The candidate said ISP also proposes the creation of a Women's Advisory which would operate in conjunction with the Student Senate to study specific issues and institute legislation.
As a means to permit dissatisfied coeds to call a campus vote which would bind the Student Senate on a particular issue, WLF has strongly supported the ISP "referendum idea."
Another proposal of ISP, the candidate said, is the creation of "open" and "closed" residence halls. An "open" hall would have no closing hours or dress codes, would permit male visitors in rooms and have its kitchen available at all hours. Upon enrolling, women would indicate their preference.
"The history of past attempts to help women has taught us that protectionism is not satisfying, doesn't lead to fulfilling intellectual or emotional maturity, and, in fact, is too often a thinly veiled excuse for paternalism and control," said Miss Bowman.
The Merriam junior also said ISP suggests the banning from campus of all businesses or agencies which discriminate against women in their hiring policies.

'Smokey's' creator to get award
University of Kansas alumnus Rudolph A. Wendelin, known for his "Smokey the Bear" trademark, is the 1969 recipient of the Horace Hart award "for distinguished public service in the field of printing and publishing."
Wendelin, who studied architecture at KU, lives in Arlington, Va., and for 35 years has been a staff artist for the U.S. Forest Service.
The citation was conferred by the Education Council of the Graphic Arts Industry.
Tickets on sale for three-act opera
"A Midsummer Night's Dream" will be presented at 8:20 p.m. on April 25, 26, and May 2, 3 in the University Theatre. Tickets are now on sale in the Murphy Hall box office.
The three-act opera was written for the opening of the rebuilt Jubilee Hall at the Aldenburgh Festival and was first performed in 1960.
The story line is the same as the play by William Shakespeare and the opera's libretto was adapted from that play by Benjamin Britten and Peter Pears.
'Black Higera' for legal defense
An experience in blackness will be the main theme of a drama production to be staged in May by a group of KU students and Lawrence community members, announced Mrs. Thelma Rucker, Los Angeles graduate student.
Mrs. Rucker reported the production, "Black Higera,"

would be a benefit show with proceeds going to the Lawrence Legal Defense Fund, a money reserve recently established to provide funds for Lawrence and KU residents needing money for legal protection.
A spokesman for the group announced yesterday any student wanting to try out for the production should be at the Wesley Foundation tonight at 7:30.
The ASC elections committee is in "drastic" need of pollworkers for next Wednesday and Thursday's election, said Chuch Loveland, Riley senior and elections committee chairman, yesterday.
Miss Bowman hoped ISP would be successful in its efforts to "mobilize and educate KU women's opinion to this undermining of the very meaning of an education in our society."
Workers needed for polls
Loveland explained anyone who is not a candidate is eligible to work at the polls which will be open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day.
The committee chairman announced a meeting of all prospective poll workers tonight at 7 p.m. in the Kansas Union Big Eight Room. Procedure will be discussed.
