This is a page from the 1940 Cornhusker Yearbook that shows the Barb Activities Board for Women. This was a group that the Associated Women Students (AWS) created for women who were unaffiliated with the sororities on campus. Sorority women on the Nebraska campus tended to be more involved in other campus activities, it was the Barb Activities Board that helped to promote unaffiliated women to become involved on campus.
Many of the activities and events put on by the Barb Activities Board for Women were very similar, if not the same, as the activities and events of the AWS.
This is a page from the 1940 Cornhusker Yearbook for the women of the AWS. The description explains that:
"Upon entering the University of Nebraska, every girl automatically becomes a member of the Associated Women Students organization, one of the important governing bodies on the campus
"The A.W.S. is divided into three parts: the board serves as the executor of the will of the women students; the court tries and penalizes violation of the rules; and the council is composed of the house mothers and house presidents."
