House-hunters encounter headaches
By MARY JO STEWART
Women’s News Editor
“We just wanted to live to
gether,” the short-haired blonde
said. “We wanted to create some
thing of our own, a feeling that
we were working together.”
Speaking was Mary Jo Augus
tine, chairman for twelve women
who have decided to organize
their own living group.
“We’d been thinking about it
for a long time, and one day. all
of a sudden, we just decided to
make an attempt,” stated the
newly initiated Kwama member.
Project hits snags
But setting up a living organi
zation has proven to be quite a
job for twelve freshmen co-eds.
“The administration thinks it’s
too big a financial responsibility,”
Miss Augustine sighed. “But I
think we can do it. Our biggest
problem has been to find a house
that the University Sanitation
Committee will approve.”
She said that Tuesday the Sani
tation Committee had refused to
approve the house the group had
tentatively decided on “for many
reasons.”
“We have been authorized to
organize as an independent off
campus living organization, so
we are looking at another house
that seems to meet all of the re
quirements. If we decide to take
it and it is approved, we can
double our membership,” she said.
Miss Augustine stressed that
her group would definitely not
compete with sororities or co-ops.
“We will not rush or belong to
Panhellenic. We will only take
members who are interested in
our type of living,” she empha
sized.
The math major defined her
group as “co-eds who will live to
gether because they believe in the
same ideals. We realize we will
have to have rules in the house to
govern ourselves, and of course
we will follow University rulings.
But as for personal life and
standards, each person will be
responsible only to herself. There
will be no pressure on personal
standards.”
Miss Augustine termed herself
“as sort of a chairman. I do the
calling, because I like to make
lists,” she laughed. “The other
girls, who include Joan Nyline,
Sharon Hawley, Linda Lee, Jessica
Johansen, Caroline Curtis, Ro
melle Fossen, Cafole Belt and
Caroline Frasier, are all very
loyal and enthusiastic. We’ve all
worked very hard to set this up,”
she added.
Grades, activities ^
Miss Augustine pointed out
that the group’s accumulative
grade point is well over a 2.0.
“We feel that studies are im
portant, as two of our members
belong to Alpha Lambda Delta,
freshmen women’s scholastic hon
orary. However, several of us are
in activities too.” Miss Augustine
is president of the YWCA Sopho
more Cabinet.
“We don’t intend to grow in
size beyond the number that our
house can hold. We will replace
girls as they graduate or move
away, but certainly will not be
rushing, or anything like that,”
she said.
“We have members from all
different fields and interests. Our
common bond is that we are all
good friends who want to live and
work together,” Miss Augustine
stated.
Constitution explained
The informal constitution that
the women presented to the Stu
dent Activities Committee when
they were approved included the
following points, according to the
group’s' chairman.
• There will be no racial or re
ligious discrimination, either writ
ten or tacit.
• The cost will be kept ap
proximately that of University
“WE AREN’T COMPETING WITH SORORITIES,’* stated Mary
Jo Augustine, ehairman for twelve co-ed* who are working to set
up their own living organization. “We will be an off-campus living
group." the YWCA Sophomore Cabinet President and Kwama
member said. Miss Augustine was interviewed as “Most Interest
ing Women of the Week.” (Photo by George Mosher)
dormitories.
• The group is a challenge of
responsibility, of participating in
group living that we have or
ganized ourselves.
• There will be no pressure on
personal standards.
• We will strive to develop in
dividuality and leadership through
independence and self-govern
ment.
Miss Augustine added that she
was very thankful for the help
her group had received. "All of
the girls in the dorm are very en
thusiastic. In fact, everyone who
knows what we are trying to do
and aiming at, have encouraged
us,” she said.
