Emily Bitton News Writer 8 Braided belts, socks with sandals, and flannel are all the rage 7 Hiking the Y is your idea of a fun date 6 5 It'll get you one step closer to eternal salvation Everyday students, faculty and staff who have been abused sexually, physically, or emotionally walk the halls of UVSC. The Clothesline Project, sponsored by the Equity in Education Center and the School of Continuing Education, will be held October 6-8 in the courtyard. The project, which has been going on since 1990. informs the community of the violence that goes on and how to end it. The Clothesline Project encourages anyone who has been a victim to write his or her story on a t-shirt, and then hang it on the clothesline. "The clothesline is such a powerful symbol of unity and togetherness of neighborhoods. The symbol of hanging the shirts is that we hang them up overlap- ping showing that we are linked together standing for something," said Jenny Chamberlain, director of the Equity Center. "Each of the t-shirts is to stand for and represent each individual person, a sign of the importance of the exchange of information. The clothesline is a common theme that you would see in people's backyards to again represent the sharing of very important information and the reality of life. Everybody does laundry and so it is a symbol of what has been in people's closets." Peggy Pasin, coordinator at the Women's Resource Center, said, "This clothesline is a monument of sorts. It is localized and reflects students from UVSC." The Clothesline Project shows the reality of abuse and is a visual reminder of the victims here on campus. Kolby Jensen, a Business Management major said. "1 think people should visit the clothesline this semester because domestic violence is a real problem in Utah County. Not just domestic violence but any other kind of violence. It is surprising just how real it is everywhere." "People need to understand that there are ways to recover, heal, move on, and have very happy, productive lives," Chamberlain said, "There is hope and healing. This is to help people who have been victims to actually get the help that they need and have a full recovery." At the project, informational handouts will be available along with therapists from the Wellness Center. Arwin Castillo, Assistant Director of the Equity Center said, "People have been told for so long that this is not something you talk about. But by having the clothesline, a statement is made about UVSC being aware. Every time I see a t-shirt, I recognize that it is the story of someone on campus. As I walk around UVSC I then wonder what I don't know about these people." Castillo continued, "A lot of my friends that attended last year were surprised by the stories on the t-shirts. It is all about awareness. If all that anyone gets out of the project is that we should all be kinder to each other, then it is worth it. We need to stop the abuse and stop the violence. Come to the project with an open mind and you will have an experience that will change your life, if you let it." Bikers Against Child Abuse will be attending the project on Thursday, and at 7 p.m. there will be a vigil honoring Lori Hacking. On Friday, the documentary "Searching for Angela Shelton" will be shown. For a schedule of events go to www.equitycenter.info.

Brittany Lewis Life Writer I don't care how much of a poor and starving college student I am, there is no way I would never attempt to eat hot peppers, crickets, worms or octopus tentacles. But for UVSC students (and I might say, very brave souls) Nathan Gomez, Elroy Louis, Stevie Bamgartner, Moroni Acosta, and Rolando Benitez, these were just hors d'oeuvres before lunch for three days last week. The first day's delicacy was hot peppers; lop 5 book/ from nmoxon.com Harry Potter & The Half I Blood Prince top 5 billboard album/ - Late Registration- Kany I West the second day served up a cricket, followed by transferring worms by mouth from a bowl of dirt to a bottle. The third and final feat was the revolting task of eating octopus tentacles. A $50 UVSC Bookstore gift certificate was given to third runner up Elroy Louis, who took a leisurely 19.53 minutes to eat nearly a foot of octopus tentacle and second runner up Stevie Bamgartner received a $100 gift certificate for his 3.06 minutes at the task. But Rolando Benitez took home first place and a new 27-inch TV for his 2.59 second devouring.
