The American Home Economics Association was
formed 75 years ago, but a UNL professor who
serv ed as president of the national organization is
doing more reflecting than celebrating.
"When the AIIEA was formed 75 years ago at Lake
Placid, N.Y., it was a dream of many men and women
to study the needs of the family in the home envir
onment and to be able to make these kinds of
studies have professional status" said Gwen New
kirk, past president and current secretary of the
AIIEA Foundation Board of Trustees.
Founders included Dewey Decimal creator Mel
ville Dewey and AHEA's first president, Ellen
Richards. Richards dedicated the former home eco
nomics building on the UNL campus in 1909.
In this anniversary year, Ncwkirk said it is impor
tant that people understand what the profession is
all about. She said many people automatically think
of cooking and sewing when they think of home
Teams of computers '
to race for clean air
The sixth annual Great Computer Race is sche
duled for May 9 as part of the American Lung Asso
ciation of Nebraska's observance of Clean Air Week
May 7-13.
The purpose of the race is to draw attention to
alternate modes of transportation other than the
single occupant vehicle.
The Computer Race pits teams composed of a
bicyclist, walker, jogger, bus rider and car poolers
against each other. Each team is assigned an indi
vidual route and starting time prior to the race.
A traveling trophy will be presented to the win
ning team at the finish line in the NBC Building, 13
and 0 Streets. Awards also will be given to the fas
test individual in each mode of transportation.
The Great Computer Race is open to everyone in
the community and up to 10 teams will be allowed to
register. Any interested organizations or businesses
should contact the Lung Association office, 321 Lin
coln Center Building, 474-5858.

economics. Out, in reality, she said, home economics
is concerned with the way all things affect the
family.
AIIEA is becoming more involved in policy issues,
Newkirk said, by testifying about vocational educa
tion, research with respect to families, nutrition,
prospective chiidcare, the handicapped, labeling
standards for equipment, housing and economic
issues.
Many men may not realize they could have a
promising career in home economics, said Hazel
Anthony, college of home economics dean.
Zeta Nuckolls, a consumer affairs major at UNL, a
member of AIIEA and a Nebraska Home Economics
Association state officer candidate, also said men
should become more involved in home economics.
Work still is needed to change the "Suzy Home
maker" image some pcop'e have of home economics,
Nuckolls said.
Currently all CS AIIEA members in Lincoln are
female. However, Anthony said about 51 men are
among the 1,030 UNL home economics majors.
Newkirk said AIIEA believes in "sustained activity
and involvement through research and extension in
areas always defined as home economics," and
hopes that people increase their understanding and
appreciation of what home economics stands for
and what home economists can do.
