Cultural diversity emphasized
Women’s Week addresses concerns
By Sara Bauder
Staff Reporter
A week of events showcasing
accomplishments and concerns of
women began Thursday night at the
Women’s Resource Center with a
showing of two films about women.
Gina Matkin, coordinator of the
center, said increasing awareness of
women’s accomplishments and ob
stacles that still confront them are the
goals of Women’s Week 1990.
“The discussions on women’s
concerns arc meant to be informa
tional, and also provide an opportu
nity to get people together and talk
about the concerns,” Malkin said.
Connie Neal, assistant coordina
tor of the center, said the program for
Women’s Week shows more aware
ness of cultural diversity than in past
years.
‘‘There has been a concerted ef
fort to diversify and include multi
cultural programming,” Neal said.
“We want to promote awareness and
emphasize the similarities of people
instead of the differences.”
Malkin said in addition to empha
sizing the similarities of people,
Women’s Week will celebrate the
diversity of various cultures. She said
people should sec diversities as add
ing to society and making it richer.
Women’s Week 1990 continues
today with an open house from 11
a.m. to 1 p.m. at the center and a one
woman play by Jude Narita, “Com
ing into Passsion/Song for a Sansei,”
at 8 p.m. in the Ballroom of the Ne
braska Union.
Malkin said Narita’s play will deal
with stereotypes of Asian women.
Malkin said Narita, of Redondo
Beach, Calif., will talk to students on
campus before the play to find out
how they feel about some of the is
sues in it. She also will answer ques
tions after the play. Admission is $4
for University of Nebraska-Lincoln
students and $5 for non-students.
Events on Tuesday will begin with
a University Health Center presenta
tion on contraceptives at noon in the
union. At 3 p.m., UNL Political Sci
ence Professor Susan Welch will dis
cuss women in politics. A discussion
with men supporting feminism will
be at 7 p.m. in the union.
Wednesday’s discussions in the
union will include some important
concerns of women today, according
to Matkin. At noon there will be a
discussion about violence against
women and safety issues. At 8 p.m.,
there will be a panel discussion on
women entering male-dominated
professions.
A dance with Jumpin’ Kate and
the Rollover Sisters in the union Ball
room will begin at 8 p.m. March 17.
Admission is S2 for UNL students
and S3 for non-students.
Women’s Week 1990 is organized
by the University Program Council’s
Women’s Words anti Music Com
mittee and is co-sponsored by the
Women’s Resource Center, several
UPC comm ittees, campus groups and
community organizations.
Casino Night changed to comply with law
By Ryan Steeves
Senior Editor
The play money used at Lambda
Chi Alpha’s annual Casino Night on
Friday had less value tharf gamblers
expected.
Eric Kringel, coordinator of the
event, said the fraternity and Vice
Chancellor for Student Affairs James
Gricscn reached an agreement Friday
r
in which fraternity members agreed
to hold a lottery for prizes instead of
auctioning them off for fake money
made by gambling.
Gary Lacey, chief deputy county
attorney, had said Casino Night’s
formal violated the law because it
allowed people to use play money
won from gambling to bid for prizes.
Gricscn said that after Lacey got a
ruling from the Nebraska Attorney
General’s office, he told university
officials that Casino Night would
violate the law if money used in the
auction was tied to admission costs.
Kringel said he thinks money is
sued at the event is not tied to admis
sion because participants all pay the
same price to get in and are provided
with an unlimited supply of fake

versity in 1956. He received his doc
torate in 1963. Aside from studying
for a year in Great Britain, he has
lived and taught in Leningrad since
his graduation.
Lincoln is Kvitko’s first experi
ence with American life. He has noth
ing but praise for the university and
the city.
“I like Lincoln very much,” he
says. “It’s a beautiful place to work.
Your campus here is practically a
botanical garden.”
When Kvitko takes a break from
his research, he says, he likes to walk
around Lincoln.
He sometimes can be found read
ing Russian newspapers at Love Li
brary or browsing through shelves in
the bookstores.
Kvitko says he also enjoys the
exhibits at Sheldon Memorial Art
Gallery.
But he says the lab and the people
who work in it impressed him the
most.
“The pleasant surprise was the
good atmosphere in the department
and a very friendly lab,” he says.
“Anytime I need help there’s some
one there to help me.”
