At least 1,000 educators and students, including three women from the People's Republic of China, attended the first national conference of the National Women's Study Association at KU last weekend.
JANET KALVEN, associate director of self-directed learning at the University of Dayton, said she had been working on women's issues for more than 40 years.
The delegates came from all 50 states Canada, England, France, Holland, India, Peru, South Africa and Thailand, said Shirley Harkess, head of the KU women's studies program and co-ordinator of the conference. Some were men.
"I am happy with the little beginnings we have made, but I wish we could crack the 18-22 year olds. We are not very successful with that," she said.
"They want to remain datable and they perceive women's studies as detrimental to that," Kalven said. "Women coming back to school are very ready for a feminist outlook. They provide the schools to set up women's study programs."
Kalven and she thought many young women students were unwilling to make a sacrifice.
"The person who is building an academic career has to sacrifice something to do this kind of work. You need a certain kind of ability. Khalen said of women's study educators.
A BILOGY instructor at Southern Illinois University, Gertrude Wittig, said her women students showed no lack of commitment.
"Very few women in science are feminists," Wittig said. "It has
traditionally been a male environment and therefore, they have probably never experienced that women can be one's gender. Women can be very supportive of you."
Delegates disagreed on issues relating to Third World, minority and lesbian affairs.
"The bulk of resolutions passed during the conference were from the third world women's caucus and dealt with any existing racism within the organization and the relationship policy which the NWSA adopted in the case of NWSA might adopt". "Harkness said."
THREE MEMBERS OF the first women's delegation from the People's Republic of China, were guests at the conference on Friday.
Madam Huang Ganying, vice chairperson of the All-China Women's Federation said they thought American women were friendly, cordial and

When several University of Kansas students moved into their summer apartments recently, they were unhappy with what they found.
Landlords, tenants clash
New tenants at Jayhawker Towers and at Gatehouse Apartments said recently their apartments either were not clean or were not furnished as they had expected.
Amy Simpson, Overland Park junior, and Joan Tholen, Hays junior, and they had the same complaint when they moved into their Towers apartment.
Ann Cavall, Russell junior, said she moved into what she thought would be her furnished Jayhawk Towers apartment Friday to find it "unclean and unprotected."
Management representatives at the two apartment complexes said the student tenants had misunderstood their leases. They also said the rapid turnover in apartment tenants made it impossible to clean and make repairs in the apartment.
COVALT SAID she and her three roommates had signed their contract with the
understanding that there would be furniture for four persons in the apartment. But she said when she complained to the manager on Friday, she was told that the apartments were rented as they were, a point stated in the book *Inappropriate installations in the University Daily Kansan*.
Cavelt took her complaint to Lawrence Property Management, which manages the Towers, but received the same answer she had gotten from Towers management.
Covall said. "We never saw the ads. The lady said we'd have furniture for four. It's also in the contract. It says 'F-4' in the blank after 'furniture.' "
SIE THEN took her complaint to the consumer Affairs Association where she was interviewed.
"After I talked with Consumer Affairs, they called Lawrence Property Management. Later, a representative from our office said we could we go out of our office." Covard said.
Thalten said that the manager told Simpson and her that there might not be enough furniture and that they would have to rent their apartment as it was.
"She said we should either pay $25 to rent bedroom furniture from them or pay $10 each to be reassigned to an apartment with the right amount of furniture." Tholen said.
"WE FIGURED they must have one with furniture and were just trying to make some money by giving us this one in the first place," she said.
Tholen said she and Simpson paid $25 for furniture.
because the Towers offered a reduced rate during the summer. Rent for a one-bedroom furnished apartment during the school year is $155. Summer rent for any apartment, furnished or unfurnished, double occupancy $250. Summer rent for a single occupant is $150
However, in addition to the lack of furniture, Thoen also said that their apartments were "not very comfortable."
At the Gatehouse Apartments, Larry Osborn, Garnet sophomore, and Kelly Hucke, Parsons junior, said their apartment model had been shown before leasing.
"The paint was peeling and dirty. There was even food left in the refrigerator." she
Alex Mrdjenovic, assistant manager at the Towers, and that it was not the Towers' responsibility to get the apartment cleaned, so Ms. Hargrove had to leave day after a previous tenant had moved out.
"WE TRY to get them cleaned, but sometimes we don't," he said. "The previous tenants are supposed to leave them clean to get their deposits back."
Mrdjenvicovic said the summer renters had to take their apartments as they were
"THE CARPETING in the bedroom was bright orange, which didn't match the greenish-brown in the rest of the apartment," he said. "The walls had been painted, but the previous tenants had left sticky tape all over the walls and the tape had been painted over rather than removed."
Osborn said that when he talked to the Gatehouse management about the condition of his apartment, he was given three options.
Housing complex draws opposition

A site planned for a proposed housing complex approved by the Lawrence city commission May # has run into criticism by its development and several home owners in the area.
The complex, which will be 68 units in 10 two-story buildings, will be built in an area between Massachusetts and Kentucky streets and 14th and 15th streets. Construction for the project is scheduled to start in July.
Kathleen Clark, a spokesman for the Neighborhood Association, said recently that the group was "not opposed to development, but is concerned with the
density of the development and its impact on the area.'
Density, as defined by David Guntert of the Lawrence-Douglas County planning staff, is the amount of area, in square feet, required for one unit of housing.
The property is presently zoned at 800 square feet per unit.
The density of the proposed housing complex would be cut by 25 percent to 1,000 square feet per unit if a plan drawn up by the Association were adopted, Clark said.
The plan, which would rezone many areas of the Orcad neighborhood, is awaiting final approval.
City Commissioner Marci Francisco said
she was concerned about the density of the project.
"I object to the fact that a road will run right along the backyard of 18th street
However, city commissioner Barkley Clark, who voted in favor of the complex, said he accepted the neighborhood plan, and he complemented other development in the area.
Clark also said that a quality development would enhance the appearance of the neighborhood, and would attract more people to an area within walking distance of downtown, which would "beef up the downtown district."
ONE OREAD NEIGHBORHOOD homeowner said she thought the proposed complex would improve the appearance of the area.
"It might be a good way to clean up the weeds," said Gertrude Halberg, 1447 Vermont St. The lot appears unkempt, full of brush and trees.
However, Bob Skuppy, 200 W. 1581 St., said he opposed the plan to construct the complex because he wanted the lot to remain as it was.
Some owners and tenants on the street said they thought the influx of one hundred or more cars would increase parking and traffic problems in the area.
Student says parking office poorly supervised

However, Don Kearns, director of parking services, said Sunday that since last week, 94 percent of all cars have been registered.
Although KU parking officials maintain that the campus' parking services department had "relatively few problems" during enrollment, one student employee within the department has charged her supervisors with inefficiency and discrimination.
The employee, who wishes to remain anonymous, said Friday she thought that her immediate supervisor, Phyllis Williams, might be responsible for the misdistance of student help and problems in the department's billing system.
bookkeeping at the department has greatly improved.
"The bookkeeping now is the best in the history of the parking division," he said. "Evidently this person (the student em-ployee) is the college of parking office business procedures.
"There are always problems, granted. A computer program for billing students implemented last July has caused a lot of billing errors."
The employee also said that she and other part-time helpers were assigned by Williams to work either in the front office at 10am or in the back room, filling room filing, posting and packing tickets. She
said that minority and international students usually were assigned to the back
Kearns and Williams denied the charge saying that students were asked where they would like to work and were assigned to the jobs of their choices.
Another accusation was that Williams assigned minority students to what the employee described as a small, unauthorized room where money was counted, the *sawbwow*.
"You're assigned to the sweatbox when you've been bad and she keeps you there all day."
Williams denounced the accusation as "entirely untrue and unbelievable."
Kearns said the charges against Williams were unfounded. He said space problems in the parking business office might account for the employee's grievances.
KEARNS SA1D that crowded conditions in the parking department would be alleviated when police administrators moved out of Auditorium into Carrither's O'Leary Hall.
Police and parking administrators share office space on the east side of Hoch. Six full-time parking employees and several student helpers share space on the west side. When the police move is completed, some of these employees will be moved to the east side.
