Poet Stanley Horowitz once said that autumn was a mosaic of not only seasons, but different types of art. With that in mind, it is fitting that the fall slate of art shows in The Gallery at Kansas Wesleyan University will continue Sept. 23 with the opening of an exhibit showing the printmaking work of James Ehlers. The Gallery, located in Sams Hall of Fine Arts, is open 9 a.m.–6 p.m., and admission to the exhibit is free. 

Saturday’s football game will be the team’s annual “Pink Out” event, as the fourth-ranked Coyotes face archrival Bethany College at the Graves Family Sports Complex. Opening kickoff in the latest chapter of this year’s First Bank Kansas Smoky Hill Showdown is set for 2 p.m. 

Kansas Wesleyan University’s music department will honor the contributions of women to music with a special event, “Voices of Eve: An Evening of Women in Music,” on Oct. 7. The evening, highlighted by a concert featuring the KWU Wind Ensemble, recognizes the 100^th anniversary of passage of the 19^th Amendment and will include world premieres of five scores by female composers. Admission is free. 

In an episode of an early season of "The Big Bang Theory", Sheldon Cooper and his friends pinpoint one of the problems in higher education, the gender gap that often exists within certain STEM-related majors and programs. Cooper realizes quickly that the conundrum originates from a lack of education in the formative years, but fails to address the issue until bringing in two of the show’s female scientist characters. Much like those characters, the two women that comprise KWU’s Computer Studies department have announced an event to help begin that education before college.
