INSIDE THIS ISSUE
The Clothesline Project A line of colorful T-shirts arched across the entrance to a stairwell in the Maucker Union. Busy students hurrying to class walked by them, sometimes without giving them a cursory glance. But if they’d stopped to read them, they would have seen that the rainbow of T-shirts contained powerful messages. “It’s not consent if you make me afraid to say no,” read a message on a yellow T-shirt. Another told a story of familial abuse. “My Mom divorced my Dad when he hit her within an inch of her life. We watched,” read the tee. “A judge told her that he deserved visitation until my sister and I were 18,” continued the message on the shirt. “All 3 of us have SCARS,” the messaged concluded. The Women’s and Gender Studies program at UNI partnered with Student Wellness Services to participate once again in The Clothesline Project for Domestic Violence
Awareness Month. “The project’s main goal is to raise awareness for violence against women, and other marginalized communities,” said Anna Blaho, a women’s and gender studies graduate student. The Clothesline Project is an international movement founded in 1990 in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and universities all over the world are able to participate. According to the Clothesline Project website, there are 500 different Clothesline Projects currently happening across 41 states and five countries. Students were invited to decorate t-shirts in Maucker Union and the WRC throughout the week and the shirts were displayed beginning late Thursday afternoon. The World Health Organization has reported that one in three women all around the world have or will have experienced physical violence or sexual violence by an intimate partner or a non-partner during their lives. Blaho said students participated in decorating a t-shirt of their choice and could express themselves in
Northeast Iowa Food Bank in Waterloo. The entrance will be located by the parking lot on the west side of Noehren. Noehren’s annual Horror on Hudson is produced by the hall’s senate. Thomas Randall, a junior management business administration major, is one of the organizers for the two-night event. Randall is optimistic about this year’s turn out. “We are expecting over 600 visitors to our haunted house
between Wednesday and Thursday nights,” Randall said. “Last year, between the two nights, we had 621 visitors. That was more than the first year the event was held and we expect even more this year.” According to Randall, students who reside in Noehren Hall typically staff the event. “The event is put on by the Noehren Hall Senate, the senate executives and the
