'What a feminist looks like discussion at Union today
The Commission on the Status of Women is sponsoring a panel and discussion titled "This Is What A Feminist Looks Like" at 7 p.m. today at the Pine Room on the 6th floor of the Kansas Union.
The panel discussion will focus on feminist issues and why the issues are relative to students today at the University of Kansas. The panel is comprised of people who are wellversed in feminist philosophy and have had experience with feminist issues, Cheryl Wozniak, Commission on the Status of Women president, said. Learning what it is that makes a feminist has many different facets, Wozniak said.
The idea for the panel came out of the "This is what a feminist looks like" button campaign, which began in 2002 by the commission. The idea for the buttons came from the 2002 Women's Needs survey that showed 36 percent of KU women surveyed considered themselves a feminist.
"You don't have to be a woman to be a feminist, and I think it's important for students to know that," Wozniak said.
There also will be discussions of feminist issues within this year's election, why voting is important and how to protect one's rights,
Kathy Rose-Mockry, Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center program director, said.
The four-member panel is comprised of Roksana Alavi, graduate teacher assistant; Ann Cudd, director of women's studies; Jimmie Manning, graduate teacher assistant and Lorraine Bayard De Volo, political science assistant professor.

Scientists find skeleton of new new human species
Ross Fitch
In a discovery that could rewrite the history of human evolution, scientists said they found the skeleton of a new human species, a dwarf.
The finding on a remote Indonesian island has stunned anthropologists like no other in recent memory. It is a fundamentally new creature that resembles the fictional, barefooted hobbits than modern humans.
The 3-foot-tall adult female skeleton found in a cave is thought 18,000 years old.
