The National Organization of Women
(NOW) is sponsoring a walkathon Sat. Aug.
27th from the Nebraska Union's north side
to the north steps of the state capital, ac
cording to the walk's coordinator.
Kay Bradley Ridenour said she expects
a large number of walkers, from children to
senior citizens, although she said she could
not estimate how many.
The walkers are expected to start at
.3:30 pjn. and walk downtown to 14th and
R street before arriving at the capitol.
A workshop is scheduled that morning
from 9 ajn. to 3 p.m. at the Radisson
Cornhusker Hotel, Ridenour said.
State Senators Shirley Marsh, Steve
Fowler and Dave Newell are among the
scheduled speakers for the rally at the
capitol, Ridenour said. Other speakers in-"
elude Kandfa Hahn, county district court
clerk, Kappie Weber, a leader in the
Women's Communication Center and Anne
Patrick Trombley, a Lincoln attorney.
This is the seventh year of the celebra
tion, called Equality Day. It commemor
ates the anniversary of women's right to
vote.
The walkathon fund drive aims to help'
ratify the equal rights amendment, which
has been passed in 35 states, Ridenour said.
The national goal is $10,000 and every
state is expected to participate, with
money being used in the three states most
likely to pass the amendment, Ridenour
said.
Sites give up their riches
The "roots" of a previous civilization
in Northeast Nebraska were dug up this
summer as part of a summer session at
UNL. Eighteen students participated in
studies of archeological sites on the Nio
brara River near Springview in Kaya Paha
County and the Norden Dam Project site.
They discovered approximately 40 sites
along the 35-mile strip of the river and
dated their native use back two or three
thousand years, according to Carl Falk, a
UNL anthropology instructor. Only three
or four sites had been discovered in that
area previously. Three prehistoric quarries
were found in addition to artifacts includ
ing tools; bones and pottery.
There are three reasons for the Arch
eological Field School in addition to its
obvious historical significance, he said.
"A large aspect of the school is for the
student. First, students will have mastered
basic field techniques of archeology,"
said Falk.
He said students also will learn the dis
cipline of archeology and gain an insight
;into what they want, adding that "some
may learn that they aren't interested in
continuing in the area of archeology."
The field school also will teach the stu
dent a marketable skill. Some of the stu
dents already have been hired to work this
fall on the artifacts recovered . in this
summer's field school.
The UNL Division of "Archeological
Research originally had a contract with the
Bureau of Reclamation for the identifica
tion of cultural and archeological sites
along the Niobrara River, But, because the
U.S. District Court injunction stopped
further work on the Norden Project in
March, tins contract was terminated.
The field school, however, is funded by
UNL as part of a summer session and'vas
able to continue as planned.
Two graduate assistants, Bob Pepperl
and Prudence Sadler, and supervisor, Dr.
Allen J. Osborne also worked on the sites.
