Women urged into political life speaker
Book draws reviews
"On the windswept grasslands there are lessons to be
learned, sights to be seen, subtitles that sharpen the eyes
and ears, and most of all relationships between living
things that are worthy of attention. . ."
No, it's not Thorcau talking, but rather UNL life
sciences Professor John Janovy, Jr., in his nationally
published book, Keith County Journal. The book is a
collection of essays taken from his experiences of "lc;un
ingmm nature, rather than about nature."
Released last month, Keith County Journal deals with
observations Janovy made during the past four summers
at the UNL Cedar Point Biological Station near Ogallala,
Neb.
"Many people see the book as a kind of life philoso
phy," Janovy said. "There are many things about the lives
of animals that people can relate to their own lives."
Janovy, who teaches introductory biology and zoology
classes at the university, features his own artwork
.throughout the book, mostly drawings, with a print of
one of his watercoloi paintings on the jacket.
The book is doing well, according to Janovy.
"I'm not sure how many have sold nationwide, but
the reviews have been good," he said. "Also Time maga
zine is planning to do a review."
Nebraska Bookstore said they have sold about 200
copies of the $8.95 book, which is being published
by St. Martin's Press of New York City.

John Wavnt Mondial v Crusade Chan man
ft
A former UNL Women's Resource Center volunteer
told the Lincoln -Lancaster Commission on the Status
of Women that "there is nothing more wonderful than
being a woman," at their third annual dinner meeting.
Gina Washburn, a past director of the Lincoln Rape
Crisis Center, was presented with the commission's Alice
Paul award for her outstanding work for the women
in the community, Wednesday night. Alice Paul was an
early crusader for women's rights and author of the
Equal Rights Amendment.
Washburn also told the audience that women should
become more politically activated.
"There are times when we can be too kindly. We can't
be that sedate about things," she said.
Following the award presentation Mary Ellen Drickey,
past chairwoman of the defunct Omaha Mayor's Com
mission on the Status of Women, urged supporters of the
ERA to send a telegram to President Carter, asking him
to endorse the amendment publically in his next State of
the Union message.
She said that of the three states yet needed to ratify
the ERA, passage in the statehouses has been defeated by
one or two votes.
"Thirty-five states have ratified the ERA. That means
less than 20 people in the United States are depriving the
rest of us from equality of the law," Drickey said.
"Isn't it strange when we are 51.3 percent of the
population that we have only one U.S. Senator, isn't it
strange when we are 5 1 .3 percent of the population and
there are only 16 women in the House and we yet to have
a woman in the Supreme Court?" Drickey asked the
audience.

Maybe we'll cure
cancer without your
help, but don't bet
your life on it.
The way it stands today,
one American out of four will
someday have cancer. That
means it will strike some
member in two out of three
American families.
To change those statistics
we have to bring the oromise
of research to everyday
reality. And to expand our
detection program and
techniques. And that takes
money. Lots of money.
Money we won't
have unless you help us.
The American Cancer
Society will never give up
the fight. Maybe we'll find
the answers even without
your help. But don't bet your
life on it.
