The achievements of women
around the world will be recognized
at East Quad this weekend during
the "Celebration of International
Women."
The 20th annual Women's
Weekend begins tonight and
features speeches by successful
women and women's artwork,
drama, and poetry.
A major concern of the
organizers of this year's event is to
increase male attendance. Kristina
Larson, chairperson of publicity,
said most men have a mis -
conception of the aims of the
Women's Weekend.
"We are not militant feminists.
We want to provide a forum or
opportunity for women to speak to
other people, not just women,"
Larson said.
Barry MacDougal, a Resident
Fellow at East Quad, said sexism is
"not just a women's struggle, it's
everyone's struggle."
A primary concern of the group
is to encourage men to attend the
program.
"White males are the power
structure of society. We need to
increase awareness and perception in
order to change (their) viewpoints,"
MacDougal said.
PROGRAM coordinator Carin
Corser said, "Equality and equal
opportunity is a state of mind, not

(of) law." By increasing awareness
of women's issues, Corser said she
hopes one day a women's day won't
be necessary.
Assistant Secretary General of
the United Nation Mercedes Briceno
will give the keynote address
tonight on "Third World Women
and Social Change" at 8 p.m. in
East Quad's Auditorium.
Tomorrow's program features an
art exhibit from noon to 6 p.m.,
and a panel discussion at 2 p.m. of
University students from Mexico,
Jordan, Nigeria, Taiwan, and South
Korea.
At 7 p.m., Jane Thorson will
speak on the "History of Gender
Roles: an international perspective"
followed by films at 9 p.m.
The weekend concludes Sunday
with a coffee house from 1 p.m. to
4 p.m. during which students and
the public may present original
poems, skits, and songs. An
endnote discussion with Sohair
Soukkary, the deputy chief of the
United Nations Development Fund,
will follow. All events will be held
in East Quad and are free.
The weekend is being run by
East Quad and The Campus
Coalition for Women. WQBN, the
Residents Housing Association, the
Michigan Student Assembly, and
Continuing Education for Women
are sponsoring the weekend.
