we need to call attention to it and
bring it out into the open.”
SASS, a community-based
group partially funded by student
fees, is one of a number of groups
involved with the awareness event.
The week will include the annual
Take Back the Night rally and
march as well as several new pro
grams initiated by students.
‘‘This year, we seem to have a
lot more student organizations in
volved,” said Sheryl Eyster, assis
tant dean of Student Life. “Most
of the organizations came to us
and said, ‘Is there anything we
can do?’”
Throughout the week, Greek
chapters and students living in the
residence halls will hang lavender
banners on their houses and in
their windows as a display of soli
darity against sexual assault.
* Today through Wednesday, Al
phi Phi Omega, a service fraternity,
•* will hand out free buttons and
whistles in the EMU and ask stu
dents to sign a personal pledge
against sexual violence.
Project Saferide will hold a fo
rum today about safety issues.
SASS will sponsor two support
groups for women who have expe
rienced sexual violence and a self
defense workshop for women, one
today and one Wednesday. The
Buzz will host an open poetry night
today for people to speak out about
sexual violence.

Bisexual Transgender Queer Al
liance will sponsor a self-defense
workshop for gay, bisexual and
transgender men, and the Men’s
Center Planning Team will host a
men’s discussion of sexual vio
lence issues.
On Wednesday, the new, stu
dent-operated Sexual Wellness Ad
vocacy Team, which will educate
student groups about sexual as
sault, will make its debut presenta
tion on campus.
The week’s events conclude
Thursday with a march against sex
ual violence. Take Back the Night, a
worldwide event that has been held
at the University since 1978, will
begin with a rally in the EMU Am
phitheater featuring community
speakers and music by national reg
gae artist Norma Fraser.
During the march, women who
may feel unsafe walking alone af
r ter dark can walk the streets in
A confidence with hundreds of al
lies, said Lori Brown, Women’s
A" Center office coordinator.
“For a lot of people who attend
the march, it’s an extremely em
powering experience,” she said.
The event also shows the com
munity how many people are ac
tively working to end violence on
campus, she added.
The march will end downtown
at Eighth Avenue and Oak Street
with performances by local artists,
including the Young Women’s
Theater Collective. There will also
be a “speak-out," and survivors of
sexual assault will have the op
portunity to share their stories.
While the event is for women,
men are encouraged to come,
Brown said.
“What we would like to see is
that women are at the front of the
march, and then there is a space for
men and women,” she said.
Throughout the day on Thurs
day, the Clothesline Project of
Lane County, sponsored by SASS,
will be on display in the EMU.
The project features T-shirt art by
survivors of sexual assault, abuse
and violence — and their sup
porters. SASS will provide free
shirts and supplies on Thursday
for people who want to contribute
