UNL CAMPUS, THIS WEEK
'Week Without Violence' Observed at UNL
Statistics show that one in three college women experience sexual assault, and up to 60 percent of students experience an abusive dating relationship by high school graduation. These forms of violence and what can be done to reduce their occurrence are the focus Oct. 9-14 of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Week Without Violence.
The UNL Women's Center has coordinated Week Without Violence events for more than 10 years, and collaborates with other UNL and Lincoln groups to raise awareness about the impact of violence on all, and to empower the community to create a safer environment for everyone. more...

Judevine is a parade of lives seen singly and in relation to others: Raymond and Ann, who in their 50 years together have become a mythic vision of love and warmth and cooperation; Grace, whose tortured and lonely life explodes into bitterness, jealousy and finally into madness; teenage Carol Hopper, middle-aged Conrad and the Vietnam vet, Tommy, who each in their isolation withdraw into themselves; Lucy, who lives in a past that's gone, and Jerry who loves and protects her; Alice who is "half man half woman," who "embraces other people's lives;" Laura and Edgar who pass their ordered, proper and restrained days while bursting with repressed passion for each other; and Antoine, the foul mouthed saint, the irrepressible, effusive, loquacious and ebullient lover of women and life. These and many others populate the town and the life of Judevine and are brought to the stage by David, the poet, who is the narrator of this play and our guide to these compelling portraits of ordinary people, by turns raucous and bawdy, delicate and painful, funny and angry. David reveals to us an intensely passionate and caring song of praise celebrating human nature.
