Women do not disdain foreign roles

the highest priority, while in the Uni
ted States education is intertwined with
athletics and social life.
Wan Suraya Ibrahim from Malaysia
said one adjustment she had to make in
coming to America was the way people
greet each other on the street. In May
lasia women are taught to be "conserva
tive and not too outgoing, she said.
Another adjustment was the lack of
family life. Maylasian women continue
to live with their families until they are
married, she said, even if they have a
career.
But despite the conservative way
women behave, discrimination against
women is not high, Ibrahim said. Women
arc paid equally with men, but as in
most countries it is a little harder for
women to climb to high positions, she
said.
Sylvia Samuels described her situa
tion as different from the other pane
lists. Samuels was born in India but
grew up in the United States. Although
she has spent most of her life in Amer
ica, she maintains both her cultures.
Samuels said women in India have
careers, but mainly raise families. Sam
uels said her mother realized when she
moved to America that she would have
to be more independent and that there
were more opportunities.
Samuels said she respects her cul
ture and its beauty and takes the good
parts of her culture to use in her own
lifestyle.

Workshop for older students tonight
By Lynne Bamberger
Staff Reporter
A Workshop for Lincoln adults who
want to attend UNL is scheduled for
6:30 p.m., tonight at the Division of
Continuing Studies at 33rd and Hol
drege streets.
The back-to-school workshop has
been offered twice each year for the
last 10 years, said Ruth Harper, coordi
nator of the workshop.
The workshop is directed at non-
traditional, undergraduate students.
These generally are students who are
25 or older and are starting college for
the first time or who have been out of
school for awhile, Harper said, but
anyone is welcome.
The workshop, which is free and
open to the public, is offered to help
make the back-to-school transition
easier. UNL representatives from the
offices of financial aid, admissions,
registration, and a variety of colleges
will be available to answer questions
and help ease the tension many non
traditional students feel, Harper said.
Harper, who is also a College Adult
Counselor, said that people face many
anxieties when they decide to go back
to school. Many of the the common
anxieties include time management,
multiple roles to play in society, finan
ces and a lack of self-assurance.
"Usually non-traditional students do
very well," Harper said. "It usually
turns out to be a positive experience
for them."
UNL independent study

ent study fits your schedule as you pick the course,
