Women's liberation calls for involvement
A reality session concerning approaches to student involvement in the women's liberation movement was the largest crowd gathered at the annual convention of the National Association of Women Deans and Counselors (NAWDC) recently held in Los Angeles, said Emily Taylor, dean of women.
Students representing the Intercollegiate Association of Women Students (AWS), the National Organization for Women (NOW) and the Women's Liberation Front attended the convention.
The student representatives from the organizations expressed their thoughts about the movement and about their individual organizations' approaches to existing problems concerning women, Miss Taylor said. The
convention did not try to present well-known individuals but presented those with a concern for issues that involve women in higher education, she said.
Two of the students representing NOW and WLF were from California colleges, the other was the president of AWS from the University of Montana.
The program of the convention dealt in general with the field of professional personnel work and the developing concerns of women students, Miss Taylor said. "Evolution over Revolution" was the main theme of the convention.

Other speakers included Rosemary Park, vice-chancellor of the University of California at Los Angeles, Whitney Young Jr., executive director of the National Urban League and Edward E. Sampson, associate professor of psychology at the University of California at Berkeley.
Preliminary discussion concerning the joining of three student personnel organizations was also held at the convention, Miss Taylor said. Members discussed the possibility of merging the
American College Personnel Association, the National Association of Student Personnel Administration and the National Association of Women Deans and
Counselors. Miss Taylor said the NAWDC is the only college personnel association that concerns itself with the needs and the changing role of students.

NEW DELHI (UPI) — India's foodgrains production in 1968 reached a record level of 95.6 million tons, an increase of 20 million tons over 1967. Nearly a fifth of it, however, was lost to rodents, pests and insects.
The fellowship, $10,000, will allow Debicki to take time off next year to complete a book on the critical study of Jorge Guillen, a contemporary Spanish poet. The book, planned about a year ago and started last summer, now has four chapters. Debicki plans the completed work to include about ten chapters.

Another rousing weekend will soon be upon us. What are you going to do? How about this idea. Take the little woman (or big woman, what ever your personal preference may be) to the Captain's Table for dinner. Girls grub up a guy that takes them to dinner. And boys, the food is priced to fit your monetary means. Just think of the benefits you may receive by showing your date how much you think of her stomach . . . and legs and arms and waist and...
Don't pass up the chance to impress that favorite girl. (Maybe she isn't your favorite girl but she will think so. Isn't that what counts?)
Going to the Peter, Paul, and Mary Concert Saturday? The Captain's Table is the logical place to come to afterwards. Make a complete night of it. Come in for a delicious dinner. You will be glad you did.
