Women’s Week includes speakers, events to highlight women’s history H Focus week aims to make up for past omissions of women in history. By Margaret Behm Staff writer Several University of Nebraska-Lincoln organizations work together every year to organize Women’s Week. “Women’s Week has always been about collaboration,” said Jan Deeds, assistant direc tor of Student Involvement. “We have quite a few groups co-sponsoring it.” Women’s Week will start Friday and end March 10. It is the university’s way of celebrat ing National Women’s History Month, orga nizers said. ■ “Women’s Week is to celebrate the accom plishments of women,” Deeds said, “to recog nize the contributions women make to the campus and the community as a whole.” The week gives women a chance to speak on topics that are a part of their lives, Deeds said. Various programs are planned to; appeal to the diverse interests of women, Deeds said. “We want to have a variety of programs to meet the needs of a variety of women,” she said. An example of this is a brown bag lunch and panel discussion, “The Change: Traditional and Non-Traditional Approaches to Menopause,” on March 10: Pat Tetreault, University Health Center sexuality education coordinator, said the infor mation would be useful to anyone.Even stu dents who may not experience menopause in Women’s weekgQQQ Ma*Sh3 and 4: Women’s Studies Regional No Limits Conference Larry Kirkwood “...Beauty is a Relative Concept” March 3: 11:45 a.m., Nebraska East Union, third level.

Another program, titled “Mathematical Pioneer Women,” is a presentation about Grace Chisholm Young, the first woman to receive a doctorate in any field in Germany. The presentation will be put on by Young’s granddaughter, Sylvia Weigand. Weigand, a University of Nebraska Lincoln mathematics professor, said her grandmother has been an inspiration to many women in math and science fields. “People are very interested in her because Delai Lonowski/DN there aren’t very many role models who are women in math and science,” Weigand said. Several off-campus speakers will also give presentations. One of the week’s goals is to offer a look into women’s history, which has traditionally been left out of textbooks, Deeds said. Some people question why there needs to be a separate week for women, Deeds said. “It’s to compensate for the absence of recognition of women,” she said. “Hopefully at some point in the world we won’t have to have a separate women’s week.” Police find marijuana during traffic stop After pulling over a man for a traffic violation, police found more than 40 grams of marijuana in his car, Lincoln Police Ofc.
