Show DAILY UTAH CHRONICLE 4 WOMEN GRADS continued from Page 1 snapshots, which explore influences that shape women's decisions regarding college. The studies show that although finances play a significant role, mentor influence, specifically the influence of parents and teachers, might be the biggest factor. FRESHMAN continued from Page 1 have been shy and really introverted come out of their shell and really gain some confidence and become a student leader," she said. Because the council is annually overloaded with applications, it is expanding this year from 3o to so students and adding a third director. Students who are not selected to be on the council will be given spots on other boards according to their interests. The council, which operates within ASUU's executive cabinet, aims to help freshmen get involved in campus life. "It's a way to get [freshmen] toes wet in what the university has to offer," Anderson said. Starting this year, half of the weekly Freshman Council meetings will be set aside for presentations by campus groups to help freshmen learn "For me, it was my dad that encouraged me to go on," Holladay said. "From the time my brother was born, my dad started saving. He put pennies in a piggy bank to save for our college educations." Much of the work in the initiative focuses on creating positive mentoring that will encourage young women to obtain their degrees. UWEI has partnered with Prosperity 2020, the Utah State Office of Education, the Utah System of Higher Education, the Governor's Education Excellence Commission and United Way of Salt Lake to achieve their goal. Holladay said mentoring through the Big Brothers Big Sisters program could make a big difference in reshaping the way young people in Utah think about education. It has also established partnerships with REVOLUTION about the variety of opportunities available to them, Anderson said. To facilitate that broader view, Freshman Council members are now required to be involved in two other ASUU boards, clubs or on-campus organizations, he said. "We ... collaborate just because it gets students exposed to other areas of campus, which is our goal," Pack said. "It also gives council members something to be involved with after the council." The group traditionally runs the Haunted Hallway at Crimson Nights in October, and Rock the U in the spring, with the council having control over fundraising. Pack said the most important aspect of Freshman Council is bringing first-year students together. "They hold onto each other to keep each other up," she said. t.webb@ chronicle.utah.edu continued from Page 1 Connor wants people to understand that these were real people expressing opinions the same way people do now They were not always polite, and they might change their minds throughout time. For instance, Burke's pamphlets range from 1770 to 1780, so it is possible to see how his ideas evolved depending on the circumstances, she said. The Special Collections Gallery changes every six weeks. Past exhibits include a collection of Charles Darwin's works and the feminine touch in bookmaking. The library curates the Tuesday, September 4, 2012 universities across the state, hoping to create networks to share practices that help women to either complete their degrees initially or return to finish what they started. These programs include childcare facilities and women's resource centers on school campuses. UWEI will use these partnerships, along with scheduled blog entries and podcasts on its website, to help galleries to show its offerings and to present that to everyone. Students may come to the Special Collections Room anytime and ask to see works such as the first edition of Thomas Paine's "Common Sense," which is included in the current gallery. After oils are removed from students' hands, they may also touch and read pamphlets. "We want to make everything we have as accessible as we can get it to students," Conner said. The Revolutionary War collection also includes political cartoons, poetry and songs about the war. The diverse text and information in the collection is meant to show how people in America Utahns understand how female education is lacking and the difference that a completed education makes. Holladay specified that although getting some college education is important, it's pushing through to the end that makes a difference. Ultimately, it's not just about the woman getting the education, she said. a.drysdale@ chronicle.utah.edu and Great Britain were both for and against the war. Another item in the gallery is the first printing of the Declaration of Independence in Great Britain. While the Americans were celebrating their new freedom, the British were printing the declaration in a monthly general periodical. "There's the Declaration of Independence, after an advertisement for a Siberian hair dresser ... buried in the middle," Conner said. "The past is there for us to learn from, and when these primary sources are available to students, they should be used." c.webber@ chronicle.utah.edu M, .w; 111 01111; 11/1111111 1.110 a • IM litttim 1/24% e.6 0‘44% 1010" t 4% 4,4 • holi 4‘444010 II lo t .4164 1 111e itte.ttlik e litkil w._ 111111116 4 I 11 111:%,14,44 4111t 11144 1111111. 111111411 — 711114, What is EC?
