Paula Broady and Kay Nosky,
delegates for the Intercollegiate
Associated Women Students Con
vention held in Lawrence, Kan.
over Easter vacation will present
a report of the convention at the
AWS Workshop April 20.
Miss Broady, president, and Miss
Nosky, vice president, represented
this university's AWi'. Board in
discussions relating t; problems
of various campuses concerning
aspects of AWS activities.
The main work of the convention
was concerned with setting up ma
chinery for a stronger IAWS, which
could be more concerned with
broader problems of Uni iisi'.y
women students, according to Miss
Broady. Such an organization
would serve to obtain opinion of
women students on topics relating
to education and national prob
lems, she said.'
Previously, the conventions
served merely as an interchange
of narrower problems and solu
tions among the delegates. Dis
cussions were limited to topics
such as hours, penalties, rules,
which were found to vary among
campuses. Often, new ideas were
inapplicable to the campus be
cause of situations peculiar torthe
university.
The discussions groups, howev
er, were valuable and presented
many ideas which may be applic
able to this campus, Miss Broady
said. These are all in the dis
cussion staee. she stressed.
Marjorie Johnston, dean of wom
en, also attended the convention,
and was advisor to one of the
discussion groups.
The Nebraska AWS was hostess
at the Good Friday Brunch during
the convention.
Principal speakers for the event
were Arthur Adams, president of
the American Council on Educa
tion, and Ernestine Gilbreth Cary,
co-author of "Cheaper by the Doz
en," and "Belles on Their Toes."
Fifty deans of women and 270
women students from, 42 states
attended the convention which was
held April 6-10.
Discussion topics were "AWS
Its Relation to the Campus," IAWS
Its Relation to AWS" and "Does
IAWS Need a Creed."
One of the trends seen at the
Convention suggested that fewer
rules and less penalties are being
used by women's governing bodies
throughout the nation, Miss Broady
said.
