Zambia; Nancy Rawls, to Togo; and Mary Olmsted, to Papua-New Guinea. In this Bicentennial election year, women are expected to play a more prominent role in politics — as voters, campaign staffers and candidates for office — than ever before in American history. The National Women's Political Caucus has been gearing up for the 1976 elections since 1972. Two of the priority issues have been voter education and organization of delegates for the presidential-nominating conventions. In 1968, 13% of Democratic, 17% of Republican, delegates were women; the percentages rose to 40% and 32% in 1972 and the upward trend is expected to continue in 1976. Women hold higher positions in presidential campaign organizations this year than they did in 1972. A survey has found that on 9 of the 13 presidential campaign staffs, women hold one or more of the top 7 jobs. More women, of both the Republican and the Democratic parties, are running for elective office at all levels of CORRECTIONS to the article of Bohdan Y. Cymbalisty: "UWLA and the challenge of our times" (OUR LIFE, February 1976) : The first sentence of the last paragraph of the left column, on the page 22 should read: "Some may object that our attempt to preserve our youth ' sense of Ukrainian identity does not contribute to their integration in American society" (and not "... to melting pot of American immigrant society"). government; moreover, they are winning the races. It is clear that the public's attitude toward females in political office has changed dramatically. Not only have Americans proved that they will vote women into Congress, the governor's mansion and and the mayor's office, but also 73% of them have told Gallup pollsters that they would vote for a qualified woman for U.S. president. It seems like only recently we celebrated Christmas, and here we are w e ll in to the Lenten season. Traditionally, the forty days of Lent were days of fasting selfdenial and reflection. Today, laxity prevails and amid our abundancy of eaths bounty,one wonders which goodie will be best to "give up for Lent". Not withstanding the religious significance of Lent which is of course a matter of ones adherence to church rule and in answer to ones conscience, the fasting required is a wise practice — health-wise. As a matter of fact, in America, where dieting is an all season pastime and there are an unaccounted number of different fad diets, more and more is being written about the virtue of fasting as a means of weight control. Fasting is a cleanser, purifier and rest for the body. In various cultures of the world, fasting is an essential part of an individual’s eating pattern. I know of a lot of people here who abstain from food altogether one day a week, all year long, sustaining themselves only on water. They claim that such a program gives them vigor, a clear head, better digestion and of course, a nicer figure. Anyone, in my opinion, who can discipline herself, or himself to such a program or anything similar, should have no problem with any situation in life. You'd be surprised how much of our character weaknesses can be seen in our food counsuming habbits. As with all things, the middle of the road policy is best. Fasting should be attempted judiciously, with regard to ones health, age and state of mind. Overdoing it can only result in unhappiness — but on the other hand, not trying it at all, well, you might just miss something! AKA PEREYMA Aka Pereyma is a multi-talented artist whose latest exhibit at the Antioch College in Dayton, Ohio drew numerous viewers, as well as flattering written reviews. Pat Murphy-Waggoner, writing in the Yellow Springs News, says of the sculptures of Aka Pereyma — ''sculptures inspired by traditional images and symbols, and exetcuted by the artist with a manner of strength and grace too often missing in the coldly executed steel sculptures, common to many public works sculptures..". Walter McCaslin of the Journal Herald (Saturday, March 13, 1976) refers to Ms. Pereyma as the "egg lady" and says that "eggs are what she's popularly noted for — the most intricate and exquisite eggs, decorated in her native Ukrainian tradition". Aka Pereyma's exhibit was a masterful creativity of two opposites — gigantic sculptures and beautifully decorated Ukrainian Easter eggs. In between were the artists talented expressions in water color and oils.
