---— Folks with rhythm Dawn Fouts/DN Folk dancers perform at the Amnesty International area meeting Saturday afternoon in the Nebraska Union. The conference included a series of lectures and workshops stressing the importance of promoting human rights awareness. I Women Continued from Page 1 According to information from the department of institutional research and planning, the number of women faculty members increased by 2 per cent in 1995-96. In 1994-95, 404 of 1,521 faculty members were women, or about 27 percent. For the current academic year, 433 of 1,516 faculty members, or about 29 percent, arc women. But UN L administrators need to do more than just hire women, Trammell said. “We need to make the faculty aware of the importance of making a climate warm for women,” she said. Also, Trammell said, better mentoring for junior women faculty was needed. “We need more efforts to integrate them into life at the university and in Lincoln,” she said. Equality for women on campus al ways has been a problem, Trammell said, and solutions won’t come easily. “Women didn’t come to this situa tion overnight,” she said. “We arc changing centuries of behavior and attitudes. This is an old problem, and it won’t be fixed quickly. “We have to hire, promote, mentor and retain women. This is not a simple issue.” Mary MeGarvey, associate profes sor of economics, said she hadn’t seen much improvement in the status of women in the past year. “It doesn’t seem like there is a spe cific plan to hire and promote women,” MeGarvey said. MeGarvey said the economics de partment had two women faculty mem bers and had no plans to hire more. In the long run, the lack of women professors will hurt students, she said. “It will affect students when they get to the real world and have to deal with men and women of di ITerent races and backgrounds.” MeGarvey said. She has been hurt, too, by the lack of women in her college, MeGarvey said. “Women have different perspec tives on issues,” she said. “I don’t get that point of view.” Search Continued from Page 1 DiBernard, associate professor of En glish; James Gibson, associate profes sor of anthropology; Vcnita Kelly, as sistant professor of communications studies; Joan Mcndoza-Gorham, con sultant/lcarning specialist in multicultural affairs; and Gary Yuen, associate professor of plant pathol ogy Representing the Lincoln commu nity arc Joel Gajardo, executive direc tor of the Hispanic Community Cen ter; Judi Morgan, executive director of the Nebraska Commission on Indian Affairs; and Ed Wimcs, director of affirmative action for the city of Lin coln.

Carmen Maurer, associate general counsel for the University of Nebraska, will serve as consultant to the committee. Buses Continued from Page 1 I schedule. Although Worth did not have the exact figures available, he said he would know i f drivers on Route 24 had to leave behind a high number of pas-/ sengers. “If there was a substantial prob lem,” he said, “we would certainly try to solve it.” When Marnic Hatfield rides the bus Wednesdays and Fridays at 10:05 a.m., she said the driver usually had to leave three or four students at East Campus. More passengers are left be hind at other stops along the way, said Hatfield, a junior family science ma jor. On Mondays, every passenger gets a ride because of the additional bus, she said. “We always use the full capacity of both buses (on Wednesdays and Fri days),” she said. “The bus drivers try to pack in as many as they can.” Worth said bus drivers could only fill the buses to a certain extent be cause passengers were not allowed to stand beyond the white line behind the driver. “Otherwise, it just depends on how close everybody wants to stand,” he said. Hatfield said she usually had to stand during her rides. But she con firmed that the situation had improved since January. “They (the bus drivers) are close to getting everybody on the bus,” she said. “But an additional morning bus on Wednesdays and Fridays would definitely be helpful.” Corrections Because of a production and editing error, one line of Friday’s story about Joan Leitzcl accepting a job at the University of New Hampshire at Durham was missing. The paragraph should read as fol lows: One challenge, she said, is work ing with the low level of funding the university receives from the state. jOKE jAM [~MOBE STArfDUP COMEDY LAUGH OR ICLL KIL YA WILLIE FARRELL mso m houho m APRIL 5-6 at 8:00pm THC DOUinTOUin DinfICR THCATRC at Jfuey's ij* & a $5.00 Student I D. $6.00 with reservations $7.00 at Uie door $15.00 Dinner Packages CALL 477-9894 ■ .
