Liberation movies advocate revolution
By CHERYL BOWMAN Kansan Staff Writer
The Kansas City Women's Liberation group met this week in the Kansas Union Big 8 Room to show films and slides calling for a "revolutionary reconstruction of society's institutions."
The meeting, attended by about 100 men and women, began with comments from Susan Halverstadt, a member of the Kansas City group.
Miss Halverstadt stressed the need for women to examine and change the institutions of our society so that women would be allowed to become full human beings. She said women's liberation was "women coming together to define themselves and to change their lives."
A film, "Up Against the Wall Miss America," satirized the annual Miss America pageant in Atlantic City. The film showed several demonstrations against the pageant and the image it portrayed of women. The film's theme song was "No Miss America No More."

One "sister" suggested that a demonstration be staged for the upcoming Miss Lawrence pageant. But another reminded them that some, including the beauty pagament type, were at different stages of liberation than others and that no "sister" should be alienated from the movement.
Afterwards, "sisters," as the women were called by the liberation group, commented on the film.
One of the men said American women were exploited. He said the American male had a limited acceptance of the female. He said it was up to men to show women that there was more to them than just looks.
Another film, "Woman: A Broad Perspective," stressed the need for women to master reality.
It reassured women longing to find their role in life that they were more than just wives and mothers—that a woman must decide for herself.
The film stressed that women were human-like men—and called for women to examine each other. It said the women's liberation movement was not a struggle against men alone, but a radical revision of our social framework.

With hopes for beautitur weather and a good wind, the Sailing Club will sponsor a "learning experience" and sailing regatta April 25 on Perry Lake at 10 a.m. and from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m.
Jim Walters, Junction City sophomore and president of the club, said that the regatta was started several years ago but faded out until last year. At that time, the Student Union Activities (SUA) asked that those interested in forming a Sailing Club and also in being its chairman submit applications. Walters got the job.
"The purpose of the club," Walters said, "is to further the interest of sailing and to eventually develop a sailing team. This is very big now in the East."
Walters said that intercollegiate sailing was entirely different. Instead of taking their own boats to the races, he said, the team goes and sails the hosts' boats. Walters said there was a definite advantage to being the host team, but that team had to have a lot of money to be able to furnish so many boats.
He said that the SUA now contributed $50 per year to the club. He said if a team was formed the SUA would probably have to get a used boat because of the great expense of sailing boats.
"The boats are expensive," Walters said, "running from $1000 to $1500 for a boat and trailer."

"So far it has been a bad sea-
Walters said that April 25 would be a combination of an opportunity to learn how to sail and the actual sailing regatta in the afternoon.

SPECIAL SHIP
SANDFEJORD, Norway (UP1)
The former Norwegian whaling factory ship Thorshavet will be rebuilt into a fish processing ship to catch a special type of herring, the pilchard, off the South African coast. The pilchard is used as raw material for fishmeal and fish oil. The expedition, financed by a joint Norwegian-Swedish enterprise is expected to start operations early in 1970.
