Women's struggle
celebrated by film
Hy Michicla Tliumaii
"As we go marching, marching, we
battle too for men, lor they are wo
men's children and we mother them
again, our Hies shall not he sweated
from birth until life closes, Hearts can
starve as well as bodies: 'dive us liread
and give us Roses.
James Oppcnhcim
That song, symbolizing the struggle of
the women's movement, was inspired by a
slogan carried on signs by women strikers
during a mill strike in Lawrence, Mass.,
in 1912.
Sunday night about 50 people - men
and women of various ages, races and re
ligions - gathered in celebration of Mon
day's 1H2 International Women's Day
at a presentation by the UNL Progressive
Student Union. The program included var
ious speakers, music, poetry readings and a
film entitled You Have Struck Rock about
the struggle of black women in South Af
rica during the 1950s against apartheid.
International Women's Day commemo
rates a massive strike in 1908 by women
garment workers who wanted equal pay,
child care facilities, the right to vote and an
end to sweatshop conditions. It is tradit
ionally a day during which a broad spect
rum of issues are addressed and the need
to strike at the core cause of the problem,
the U.S. economic and social system, is
emphasized, said Cynthia Trainor, presi
dent of the PSU.
At the program in Lincoln this year a
number of international women addressed
for equal rights
, poetry, music
a variety of topics, reaffirming the internat
ional nature of the women's movement.
Karen Williams spoke about her exper
iences on a YWCA-sponsorcd trip to Zam
bia. Her speech focused on the black wo
men there who arc discriminated against,
liavc few rights and are oppressed by the
minority white power structure of the
government.
Nina Cucllar, head of the Chicana Grad
uate Student Association at UNL, said
that despite past oppression, the Chicanos
would fight against discimination and for
their rights as a people.
Lila Drury of the Lincoln Action Pro.
gram spoke on Palestinian women and
what it was like for her growing up in ,m
Arab country.
Women in the Middle East arc brought
up to believe that boys are the most im
portant and women are here to make these
boys into men and make their lives flour
ish, she said.
If a little boy hits his sister he is told,
"Good boy, keep your sister on the right
path," wliilc if a little girl hits her brother
she may be told, "May God break your
hand," Drury said.
A representative of the PSU also spoke
on the Iranian women's movement and Jan
Deeds from the UNL Women's Resource
Center spoke about reproductive freedom.
Poetry about the struggle of women to
find freedom and equal rights was read by
Jane Pcmpcrton and international songs of
celebration and struggle were sung by Re
becca Jones, Linda Schaaf, Kathy Tcjcka
and Cindi Zuby.
Centel's phone rates to increase
The cost of local telephone service may
increase as much as 48 percent in the next
six years, according to Wilson Garnett,
executive vice president of Central Tele
phone & Utilities (Centel), the fourth lar
gest non-Bell System telephone company
in the United States.
However, Garnett made no comment
on the possibility of cost increases for
phone services in 10 states, but has no bus
iness operations in Nebraska, he said.
Garnett spoke Monday at the Nebraska
Union as a guest speaker for Business
Week, sponsored by the College of Business
Administration.
The price increase for local phone ser
vice will result from a January antitrust
settlement between American Telephone
and Telegraph Co. and the U.S. Justice De
partment. In the settlement, AT&T agreed
to break up its 22 Bell System companies
and sell them to outside companies or
AT&T shareholders.
However, it also will deprive the Bell
System of money from the profitable
AT&T long distance phone service.
AT&T long distance service was priced
above cost, Garnett said. The resulting pro
fits were pumped back into the Bell Sys
tem to keep the cost of local service down.
With the antitrust settlement, the Bell Sys
tem will lose these subsidies, and the cost
of local service will have to rise to make up
for the loss, Garnett said.
