"The type of work and research will be such that a commission will be more appropriate," she said.
"The name is changing because of a changing need," said Miss Bocell. She said, it would be a program without required representation.
Candidates for president and vice-president gave their views on how the organization would change now that the name is different.
"The organization needs to become a source for the current trend of thought about women's liberation and a woman's role in society," Miss Newcomer said. She said the Commission can be an interest group and channel
"Women are becoming increasingly aware of their plight in a society which is rigidly structured concerning sex roles," Miss Goudie said. She said that every option open for a woman should be a meaningful one, which means women should have totally equal opportunities.

"The Commission has the potential of being integral in making more opportunities accessible for women," she said.
because women's rights is one of the most pressing issues," Miss Kelly said. The University of Kansas needs some organization to work specifically with this issue, she said.
"The change will be important
Elections are being held today until 5 p.m. in each of the women's living groups on campus. Students will also be voting for the Outstanding Woman Teacher of 1970, the outstanding woman of their living group and the Outstanding Senior Woman of 1970.

Strike reactions vary among administrators
Several University officials said Friday evening that the student strike Wednesday did not hurt the University's standing, in either enrollments or donations.
Richard Wintermote, executive director of the Alumni Association, said, "It was a lot of students having a lot of fun."
Carl Lavery, assistant treasurer
of the Endowment Association, said the failure of the strike showed, "the students won't go for this foolishness." He said the incident proved the "intellectual abilities of the students."
Wintermote said in reference to the violence Tuesday night, "I don't think it was students, but even if it is, you can expect one or two students like this out of 17,000."
Larry Heeb, director of Differed Giving, said his job was to sell the University and that he is in a stronger position now because the "students showed just how they stand."
John Myers, assistant director of Admissions, said, "I doubt seriously if it will affect admissions, but if it does it probably will be positively."
Landscape architect to speak
Stuart O. Dawson, a landscape architect in Boston, Mass., will speak on "Design Space" at 8 p.m. April 14 in the Kansas Union Forum room.
Dawson has been visiting critic and lecturer at nearly a dozen architectural schools and earned the baccalaureate degree with honors in landscape architecture from the University of Illinois in 1967 and the master's degree from Harvard a year later.
He is a member of the firm of Sasaki, Dawson and DeMay Associates.
Senate to meet for last time
The last regular meeting of the present Student Senate will be 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Big Eight Room of the Kansas Union.
Two pieces of legislation will be discussed during that meeting. One proposed amendment, submitted by Dennis Embry, Great Bend junior, is a clarification of election procedures.
The other amendment is on the term of office and vacancy of office in the Student Senate, submitted by Frank Zilm, St. Louis senior and student body vice-president.
He succeeds Theodore Klumpp, 66, who has been president and chief executive of Winthrop for 28 years.
Wescoe named to new position
Former KU Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe has been named president of the Winthrop Labs division of Sterling Drug, Inc.
Wesscoe was chancellor from 1960 to 1969. Since leaving the University last July, he has been medical affairs vice president and a director of Sterling. He will continue in this position in addition to his new one at Winthrop.
Sources in the drug field say they believed Wescoe's identification with Winthrop indicated that he was being groomed to succeed J. Mark Hiebert, 66, when he retired as chairman of Sterling. Wescoe is 49.
Hiebert graduated from KU in 1932. Both he and Wescoe have received the University's Distinguished Service citation.
Summer jobs to be discussed

Students interested in a program that offers a variety of jobs, including wranglers, maids, waitresses, busboys, dish washers, cooks, sales clerks, desk clerks, activity leaders and entertainers are urged to attend.
Estes Park is located in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Other activities include seminars, workshops, musical events, panel discussions and dances.
Jobs in Estes Park begin about June 1 and continue until midSeptember, but individual jobs can be geared to the student's available time.
KU professor receives grant
Applications for next year's AWS Fashion Board are due in the Dean of Women's Office Tuesday, the president of this year's fashion board, Pam Russel, Wichita senior, announced.
Applications are available in the Dean of Women's office and from AWS representatives in organized living groups.
Fashion board applications due
Charles D. Reese, assistant professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Kansas, has been given a research grant from the National Science Foundation.
The $15,000 grant will be used to study the buckling of composite sandwich cylinders and cones.
Also provided in the 18-month grant is support for a graduate student. Reese said that the student will be named at a later date.

Reese said this type of research is helpful in predicting when buckling will occur in aircraft and space vehicles.
A good cry cleanses the soul
After all is shed and done, your soul may be saved ... but your contacts need help. They need Lensine. Lensine is the one contact lens solution for complete contact care ... preparing, cleansing, and soaking.
There was a time when you needed two or more different lens solutions to properly prepare and maintain your contacts. No more Lensine, from The Murine Company, makes caring for contact lenses as convenient as wearing them.
Just a drop or two of Lensine coats and lubricates your lens. This allows the lens to float more freely in the eye, reducing tearful irritation. Why? Because Lensine
is a compatible, "isotonic" solution. very much like your eye's natural fluids
Cleaning your contacts with Lensine retards the build-up of foreign deposits on the lenses. And soaking your contacts in Lensine between wearing periods assures you of proper lens hygiene. You get a free soaking-storage case with individual lens compartments on the bottom of every bottle of Lensine.
It has been demonstrated the improper storage between wear-
rings permits the growth of bacteria on the lenses. This is a sure cause of eye irritation and in some cases can endanger your vision. Bacteria cannot grow in Lennie he-
