History week notes women 9s contributions
By Mary C. ReiUy
Gov. Bob Kerrey today will sign a proclamation
declaring March 4 through 11 Women's History
Week in Nebraska.
Congress first officially recognized Women's His
tory Week this year. This year marks the sixth
annual Nebraska celebration, said Jean O'Hara,
executive director of the Nebraska Commission on
the Status of Women.
"Women's History Week provides an opportunity
to focus on the lost heritage of women and their
contributions," O'Hara said.
Nadine Keith, chairwoman of the Women's His
tory Week commission, said the week's activities in .
Nebraska are coordinated by more than 24 people
and organizations.
"Too often in the past, historical contributions of
women have been ignored in history books," Keith
said.
The kick-off event for the Nebraska celebration
will be in the Capitol Rotunda Monday, March 5, at 4
p.m. A program titled "WRITE-ON: Nebraska Women
Make History," will honor women writers from
Nebraska's past and present," O'Hara said. The
program is free and open to the public.
A reception following the program will be in the
Governor's Mansion at 6 p.m. Cost of the reception is
$1.50.
The first history program coincides with the 20th
anniversary of the Nebraska Commission on the
Status of Women. A gourmet banquet after the his
tory reception will be in the Capitol Rotunda with a
program on women's history. Cost of the banquet is
$15. Reservations must be made for the banquet
with the Nebraska Commission on the Status of
Women by March 3, OUara said.
An illustrated talk on "Women in the West: Myth &
Reality," will be given March 8 at the Lincoln YWCA,
1432 N. St., from 7 to 9:30 p.m. Sandra Myres, Uni
versity of Texas professor, will speak.
Several libraries across the state will highlight
women's historical contributions, Keith said.
O'Hara said she encouraged Nebraska organiza
tions and businesses to sponsor their own celebra
tions. Women's History Week began in California in
Time to Save!

1978. The idea spread, O'Hara said, and by 1981
governors and state legislatures began recognizing
Women's History Week.
Significant to women's history is the inauguration
of the first woman Indian to the Nebraska Hall of
Fame at 1 1 a.m. today in the Capitol.
"It is a milestone in Nebraska history" said Betty
Loudon, research associate at the Nebraska, State
Historical Society. The Omaha Indian, Susette La
Flesche Tibbies, "Bright Eyes," is being honored as
the first woman to speak out on Indian rights.
Tibbies worked with Sioux Chief Standing Bear,
whom she married in the early 1900s. A bust of
Tibbies will be placed in the Capitol at the ceremony,
which is open to the public. The Nebraska Hall of
Fame Commission recommended Tibbies for induc
tion, Loudon said.

It took about a year to write the screenplay,
which, Salberg.said, he came up with himself!
Salberg would not say which , major studio will
distribute the movie.
Jim Crounse, director of the Nebraska Film and
Television Office, said it is still "very questionable" as
to whether the movie will be filmed in Nebraska.
In addition to this yet-untitled movie, Crounse
said, there are a number of movies which may be
filmed in Lincoln.
Jf picked up by a network, a television pilot, "Oh
Brother," will be filmed in Nebraska in June, Crounse
said. The show is about two brothers living in
Nebraska, and Lincoln native David Doyle is the
producer, he said.
Crounse also said he is trying to get the movie "The
Desperadoes," the story of the Dalton gang, filmed
here. The author is from Omaha, so Nebraska may
have a chance, he said.
Doug Breisch, staff assistant for the Lincoln Film
and Television committee, said the success of "Terms
of Endearment " which was filmed partially in
Lincoln, helps spread the wrord about the city as a
filming location.
The Paramount1 crews were happy with the co
operation they received from UNL, the city and the
community while filming here, Breisch said. There
fore, they probably will tell other people in the movie
industry, he said.
