Thursday, April 8,-1371 C&Mlhiome re J The Daily Tar Hee! AWS n 1 1 n 6 o ? 11 nil fl cs fclw I by Mary Ellis Gibson Staff Writer Cathy Cauthorne, newly elected president of the Association of Women Students (AWS), Wednesday announced plans to "destroy the misconception that AWS does nothing and can do nothing.' . Many UNC women are not aware of what AWS is, Miss Cauthorne said. All UNC women students are members of AWS and are invited to its meetings. Members are also -elected from each dormitory and sorority, and they as well as dorm and sorority presidents attend meetings. This year the AWS has opened its meetings to all campus organizations, especially community oriented ones such as the Carolina Opportunity Fund. Miss Cauthorne hopes, to encourage men to attend AWS meetings even" though they are not voting members. She feels that tnen's participation will give added depth to discussion at the meetings. .Attendance at AWS meetings this year has been poor according to Miss Cauthorne. She hopes to increase attendance and encourage participation in AWS activities by decreasing the number of meetings from one each week to two per month. The second solution to the problem of poor attendance and general lack; of interest in AWS which Miss Cauthorne wiD implement is to decentralize the organization: She will establish a number of different committees and let them work on their own. Miss Cauthorne will appoint a Women's Forum Committee of seven students who will serve with seven faculty rrbers in liason with the administration and' X.WS. In the past the 4.fomen's Forum Committee has been primarily concerned with women's rules, but according to Miss Cauthorne this problem has been solved fairly well. This year the committee will be working primarily in the area of education. A second committee which will be open to the general membership of AWS will be concerned with the status of women of the state and national levels. This committee will be responsible for calling the attention! of AWS members to problems and events which involve the status of women. On a local level.'the committee on the status of women may be active on such problems as the policy on the admission of women, more women representatives in the Student Legislature, and more coed dormitories. The third ' committee which Mis Cauthorne hopes to establish is an education division. This committee will encourage educational reform within the University. Committee members will work with Chns Daggett, student body vice predent, and other people interested in new courses and innovative appraoches to education. Miss Cauthorne will also establish a propaganda committee to tell people what AWS is an what it is doing. This committee will also be responsible for distributing a monthly newsletter to the elected AWS members. A trip for AWS members is planned for April 18 to enable members to get to know each other personally. Miss Cauthorne hopes the trip will stimulate enthusiasm among AWS members. Concerning student indifference toward AWS similar activities. mented. You can do all the carr.juinirg and and com dissemination of ideas, but is a student doesn't want to assimilate them it's her percitive.' v When asked about the genciI goals of the AWS for the coming year. Miss Cauthorne said, "Idealistica'dy, what I'd like to see is people aware of AWS and hat it's doirg 2nd to rrvke the woman an independent thinker. "Realistically, all we can do is try, realizing we'll only put a small dirt in the problems we consider, but I hope reorganization will stimulate enthusiasm and hope it will continue after I leave office." The reorganizational meeting for AWS will be held at 6:45 Monday night in 217 of the Carolina Union. All students interested in AWS are inv;;ed to attend. ; - r r D1H staff ers win 1T ri e ws J p. arounmo "one emm ! f ?
