Knight Library exhibits honor women in publishing By Teri Meeuwsen Higher Education Heporter To celebrate Woman’s History Month, two related exhibits fo cusing on women’s publishing in Oregon will open Monday in the lobby of Knight Library. The free exhibits, which are based on orig inal documents housed in Knight Library’s Special Collections, will continue through May 29. The first exhibit is about Abi gail Scott Duniway, Oregon’s tire less campaigner for women’s suf frage in the 19th and early 20th centuries. “She’s a part of Oregon’s histo ry not highlighted very much,” said library instruction coordina tor Colleen Bell. “Since she ODE Classifieds 346-4343 XATEE GOLF CLUB (fatj at iU Pittat College Students -*18.00 Exp. 5-30-98 1-800-452-6376 00 Foot long Sub Expires 3/20/M 50 0 OFF | Half Sub | SUBSHOP 1225 ALDER 345-2434 Not valid with any other discounts or coupons.

Gov. Oswald West asked Duniway to write the Woman Suffrage Proclamation, making suffrage for women an Oregon law. She also helped shape national women’s politics as editor of The New Northwest, a feminist news paper that drew national attention to women’s issues on the Pacific Slope. Duniway’s exhibit will feature the original proclamation written in Duniway’s handwriting, which is on loan from the state library, Bell said. The other exhibit focuses on Calyx, a journal of art and litera ture by women, which was founded in Oregon in 1976 and published in Corvallis. The word calyx refers to the outer covering of the flower that falls away as it blooms. In its more than 20 years of existence, the journal provided an opportunity for more than 2,000 women’s voices to bloom in its poetry, prose, art and book re views. “It really let women test the wa ters and see where their writing and art could go,” Bell said. “It went from a regional publication to a national journal.” The Calyx exhibit will include papers related to publication and will feature some of the covers from past issues. “The covers feature some real ly stunning artwork,” she said. The free public reception to mark the opening of the exhibit will be at 7:30 p.m. on Monday in the Knight Library Browsing Room. Margarita Donnelly, direc tor of Calyx, will be the feature speaker. Science-fiction author Ursula K. LeGuin will read one of her poems about Calyx. Taxes: Telephone filing a possibility ■ Continued from Page 1 through the mail, it will need to be opened and entered into the computer. With electronic filing, it skips all of those steps.” Returns will also be processed faster because the number of er rors on tax returns will decrease. “With the on-line filing, the mis take can be found faster [on our computers],” Childs said. Taxpay ers can also use the on-line soft ware to find the errors before the return is even transmitted, she said. At this time, only people filing federal tax forms 1040, 1040A and 1040EZ, and state tax forms 40 and 40S, can use the on-line service. Also, only one private In ternet tax preparer, SecureTax, has been approved by both the Oregon Department of Revenue and the Internal Revenue Service as having software that is com patible with their computers and systems. “Right now, [SecureTax] is the only one that is available,” Childs said. “We’re participating with them because they were able to satisfy us and the IRS with securi ty to make sure the information was confidential.” However, Childs anticipates that there will be more on-line tax-filing providers in the future. Approximately 200 people have taken advantage of the on line filing system located at www.securetax.com, Childs said. The service costs $9.95 or $14.95, depending on what forms a taxpayer plans on filing. In the past, Oregon residents could have filed their tax return with a tax preparer electronically. And although electronic filing has been available for the past three years, only about 90,000 of the ap proximately 1.5 million tax forms filed last year were electronic, Childs said. “Electronic filing is still in its infancy stage,” she said. But the Department of Revenue hopes to receive 120,000 tax forms elec tronically this year, from either personal computer users or pro fessional tax preparers. One form of electronic filing the Department of Revenue does not offer is telephone filing — a service that the IRS provides. Childs said telephone filing has “certainly been discussed,” but there are no plans for it in the near future. However, it is a service that the Department of Revenue eventually wants to provide, she said. For more information about Oregon state taxes, visit their Web site at www.dor.state.or.us.

SETA holds protest at Huestis Hall Students for the Ethical Treat ment of Animals sponsored a fol low-up demonstration in front of Huestis Hall Thursday from 12 to 2 p.m.. A group of protesters attempted to walk through the second floor of Huestis where the animal experiments are con ducted, but they found the doors locked and the area restricted. The protest ended peacefully as campus police and neutral ob servers lined the first floor hall way to observe the demonstra tors walk through. The protest was partially initi ated as a response to an alleged incident last Wednesday be tween Professor Richard Marroc co and a SETA protester. No as sault charges were filed with the Eugene Police Department. SETA director Chelsea Lin coln used a megaphone to de nounce Marrocco’s experiments on rhesus monkeys to a group of twenty protesters. Lincoln said during the last walk through the second-floor laboratories that she saw a rhesus monkey exhibiting “neurotic” behavior in its cage. Brian Maigolin, a research assis tant in molecular biology , heard the protesters say that killing zebra fish was worse than the Holocaust. A protester said six million people were killed in the holocaust but “billions” of zebra fish are killed in research each year.
