KU women go to AWS symposium
The education of women for social and political change is the topic of the National Associated Women Students invitational symposium. Three women from the University of Kansas have been invited.
This is the fifth annual symposium and it will be held at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Tex., today and Wednesday, Emily Taylor, dean of women, and two students, Kathy Newcomer, Omaha, Neb., junior, and Ellen Tyler, Kansas City senior, left today for the convention.
The symposium is sponsored by the Women's Symposium Committee and the Associated Women Students of Southern Methodist University. It will consist of a series of lectures and discussion groups.
The symposium will bring together a selected group of SMU women students, student representatives from other universities and women leaders in education, human relations and public affairs, said Rebecca Best, chairman of the symposium.
The purpose is to consider major social and political issues, to
explore the motivation of women to leadership in these concerns and to examine the obligation of the university to educate for the citizenship responsibilities, Miss Best said.
The goals of the symposium are to explore the barriers to women in realizing their full human potential and to challenge each participant to evaluate their identity in relation to the alternatives developed during the symposium. Those attending will also be shown how to identify the principal scientific advances in genetics and reproductive biology. They will examine the consequent
the United Nations Commission on Human Rights. Margaret Mead, anthropologist and author, and Albert Rosenfeld, managing editor of Family Health Magazine and formerly the Science editor of Life magazine will also speak.
Jennings charged with manslaughter
Danny Joe Jennings, 21, Rt. 5 was arrested at 11:30 a.m. March 22 on charges of fourth-degree manslaughter in connection with a fatal traffic accident February 5 at 19th and Iowa. The victim, David Loren Gore, Pawnee Rock, junior and Jennings, were drivers of two of the three cars involved.
A student at a Kansas City, Mo., trade school, Jennings was arrested when he returned home for the weekend. The warrant for his arrest was issued March 17, on a complaint signed by county attorney Daniel A. Young.
The complaint signed by Young read that February 5, Jennings feloniously operated a car at a speed greater than reasonable and prudent, and in excess of the 45 miles per hour speed limit and that Jennings drove while under the influence of intoxicating liquor.

changes in our traditional understanding in human relations and social institutions. Miss Best said.
Jennings' car collided with Gore's, the complaint read, causing Gore's death, "and that said death would not have resulted except for the unlawful driving of the said Danny J. Jennings."
Blood alcohol tests were taken from both Jennings and Gore on the day of the accident by the police.
Jennings posted $1,500 bond to appear in Douglas County Court March 19 to hear the charges brought against him. His preliminary hearing is scheduled for 10 am., April 17 in the County Court.
The maximum penalty Jennings can face for fourth-degree manslaughter is one to two years in prison or not less than six months in county jail. Young said that it also depended on Jennings past record. He may be placed on probation.
Gore's death is the only one reported in Douglas County during the first 81 days of 1970. Last year, six persons died in traffic accidents in Lawrence.
A feeling that he wanted "to tell about people" has led a University of Kansas journalism student to create a photographic display of huge proportions.
Among the featured speakers at the symposium will be Rita Hauser, attorney, United States Representative and member of
The 101-by-66 inch photographic collage was created by Bill Higgins, Mission junior, and entered in the annual KU Photo Contest.
KU photo student tells about people with huge collage
Described as a photo essay that was "just supposed to tell something about people," the collage contains about 1,100 individual photographs, mostly of peo all taken in New York during the last two weeks of November.
Higgins said he spent about two months processing, arranging, cutting and mounting the pictures to create the huge collage.
Although the display did not win any prizes in the KU competition Higgins said he was hopeful the work will be exhibited.
Let's Get It Straight
SEARCH FOR MEANING
QUESTION: I am a young person still searching for meaning in life. I went to church a few times, but all the preacher talked about was things that happened way back in Moses' day, or what we should give toward the church budget. Isn't there more to Christianity than that? Has it got anything to say to young people today?
ANSWER: In the first place, you cannot judge Christianity or the Church by a few sermons sampled at random. Only by attending a faithful Bible-preaching church regularly will you begin to grasp the meaning of Christianity and discover what it can do for you. If you are really in earnest about this, I suggest that you do just that.
Also read the Bible, especially the New Testament slowly, thoughtfully, and prayerfully. God will give understanding to those who are earnestly seeking the truth. Thirdly, seek personal counselling from the pastor of the church you attend—but let me emphasize again that it should be one where the preaching is true to the Bible.
The challenge of following Jesus Christ is the most meaningful one that can come to a young person. Today. Once you
accept His call to come after Him, you will find yourself beginning to understand what life is all about. Soon you will be cooperating with God Himself to make this meaning relevant in the lives of others. If you are seeking "self-fulfillment," as so many people are today, ponder again the words of that young man, Augustine, who said, "Lord, Thou midest us for Thyself, and we can find no rest till we find rest in Thee."
