Its purpose: to bring some basic issues of feminism into the dormitories and to make UN-L woiien-especially freshmen aware of the services offered by the Womeris Resource Center in j the Nebraska Union. The students reaction to the publication called the Women's Pages - has been favorable, said Mary Heppner J who has worked for the paper' since it began. Hard to see "Its hard to see how far this thing reaches," she said. "But sometimes IU be someplace - at a party or something and people will come up to me and comment on some article and say they liked it." The publication lacks staff positions associated with other newspapers. It is a cooperative product from a group interested in feminism. "We can use anyone who can write a little, type a little, do layouts. . .Anyone can work on it," Heppner said. , Explains services Women's Pages comes out twice a semester.

Since its first issue, the paper has become more sophisticated, Heppner said. Production difficulties have been ironed out, and, Heppner said, "the typing and spelling have improved." This summer, the center is preparing a pamphlet dealing with specific issues .freshman women may face. Health information "We're interested in telling women about the services offered at the health and counseling centers, but we decided this information would be presented better if we put it in pamphlet form," Heppner said. Heppner said she hasn't decided about plans for next year's issue of Women's Pages. "It kind of depends on donations," she said. "The paper is supported by a free-or-donation' basis. Whether we can expand the paper next year depends on if well have the same amount of money. "It also depends upon how much time well have during the semester with classes and everything to work on making a bigger paper."

Svoboda said interested persons should contact him at Love Library (472-2539). "I am particularly interested in talking to older members of Czech communities," Svoboda said. "Much of what remains of early Czech life in Nebraska is in the memories of a few elderly citizens." Plans interviews Svoboda plans to tape interviews with these citizens. The transcribed tapes will become part of the Czech ethnic collection housed at the library. Svoboda added that he would also like to acquire books, pamphlets, diaries, letters, photographs, or other materials that will shed light on the life of Czech Nebraskans. In cases where persons have a sentimental attachment to such items, Svoboda said the library would be able to reproduce materials submitted and return the originals to the I I j Booqie n nn m M0N.

"For several decades between the 1880's and the 1920's, they made up a very substantial portion of the state's population." He described the early Czechs as "a determined, proud people" who didn't "submit easily to the melting pot." They imported their own customs and traditions from the Old World. For many years Czech communities flourished in Nebraska. Svoboda said that since the 1920's, the preservation of traditions passed along from parents and grandparents has diminshed. Systematic effort Svoboda said that the Czech history project may eventually be expanded to include Czech materials from other regions of the United States. The acquired experience and skills could lead to the development of simila programs dealing with the German and Scandinavian Nebraska settlers. h ERST Dance to I U II t f "1 v n in ill liii Greatest Light Show page 3
