The art gallery Go Naked! Go Clothed! Go Figure!, showcasing artists from Wyoming, is on display at the Laramie Plains Civic Center until April 1.

 “This show showcases a wide variety of interpretations of the human figure from some very fine local artists from large scale paintings to a miniature beaded tapestry,” Dahlberg said.

Director of the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality, John Corra, gave a presentation at the College of Law on his work and his department’s mission. He said his goal is "to show the great possibilities of work available for attorneys and other law students,” and that he came to law school with a recruiting mission.

UW students might see changes made to policy that determines closing campus because of extreme weather.

ASUW passed a resolution Tuesday night that supports an initiative to elect a committee consisting of administrators, faculty and students to look into the extreme weather school closure policy. The resolution does not confirm that changes in the policy will be made; it only asserts the support of ASUW to look into future modifications. 

The primary ballot for the upcoming elections was approved Tuesday and will begin March 23. 

In the weeks following spring break, there will be several events across campus for the election season, including an “Open Mic/Meet and Greet” from 5:30 to 7 p.m. in the lower level of Washakie Dining Center

The women whom Hind spotlighted in her lecture were famous 20th century Mexican Intellectuals like Guadalupe Amor, Elena Poniatowska, Elena Garro, Antonieta Rivas Mercado and Rosario Castellanos. Hind coined the term, “Divalectuals,” to describe their role in society. 

These women exemplified femininity and were at times considered “locas,” the Spanish term for crazy, Hind said. Most prided themselves in personifying their feminism through their physical appearance and as a result, many became bankrupt or at the least sacrificed meals for clothing, Hind said.
