New projects proposed
A presentation of new ideas and directions was made by the executive committee and cabinet of the KU-Y Thursday at the second formal membership meeting this school year in the Kansas Union Javawk Room.
The new ideas were presented in the form of four projects. A trash clean-up project was suggested to show the KU-Y concern for environmental pollution. The project would have students clean up a certain area.
Members discussed cooperating with the Chamber of Commerce which is having a similar cleanup project in Lawrence and surrounding areas.
The second project concerned women's liberation. Jill Wiechman, Cheney, junior and spokesman for the project, pointed out
several examples of inequality among men and women. The KU-Y plans to work with the Associated Women's Students (AWS) in enacting its program, Miss Wiechman said.
A canoe trip in the spring was planned for the members of the KU-Y. The date has tentatively been set for the weekend of April 25.
The percentage commission paid to associates in radiology at the KU Medical center was raised from 50 to 70 per cent, in another action by the board.
Regents raise fees at med center
Concerning University faculty, the board granted leaves of absence without pay for Allan Hanson, KU assistant professor of anthropology and to Dorothy Willner, KU associate professor of anthropology. The board amended board minutes to make the minimum stipend for instructors of off-campus credit courses sponsored by University Extension to be $200 per semester credit hour, effective July 1.
A white racism dialogue was also discussed, with plans including the use of racial dialogue films from the YMCA at Topeka.
In addition to these actions, the board also authorized KU to purchase a travel-all vehicle for use in connection with an anthropology project.
A change in the bookkeeping procedure at the Medical center to permit the writing-off of uncollectable accounts after a one-year period. In the past this had not been possible until three years had elapsed.
A result of a recent comprehensive study, the fee increase puts KU's charges in line with other medical schools.
The Kansas Board of Regents approved a proposal Friday which will increase fees for instate medical students at the Kansas University Medical Center from $500 to $750 per year. The fee increase will be effective in September, 1971.
The board also voted, in another action, to request an appropriation of $40,000 from the present legislature to make emergency repairs on the law enforcement training center at Hutchinson.

AWS sponsors lab sessions to teach leadership aspects
A 16-hour laboratory designed to develop the social and personal aspects of leadership was sponsored by Associated Women Students (AWS) last Friday and Saturday.
National Leadership Methods manual states that the laboratory was founded on the belief that leaders are not born, but can develop in "laboratories for learning." Their teaching stresses the difference between the traditional "popularity kid" campus leader, and a truly concerned perceptive leader.
Using a format designed by National Leadership Methods, around 70 participants learned concepts of the human side of leadership.
Participants were divided into 8-member groups at the outset of the lab. During the two days the groups were involved in several
problem - solving sessions. They learned to distinguish types of leadership methods and their corresponding degrees of effectiveness.
The groups also were involved in the creation of several group projects. At a later time groups had to defend their "creation" against the "creations" of other groups.
Near the end of the laboratory, group members were invited to participate in optional "feedback" sessions and were given an opportunity to be evaluated objectively by fellow group members.
Participants were encouraged not only to remember the principles which they had learned, but also to attempt to use them in positions of campus leadership, in an effort to be sensitive and effective leaders.
