  • 18 | WCnewsmagazine Take Back the Night to take Cullowhee By Cartie Petrea + wenewsmagazine Western Carolina University will participate in Take Back the Night on Tuesday, April 4 around 8:00 p.m. on the UC lawn. Take Back the Night, an intemational event, is a march and rally to unify women, men, and children in an awareness of violence against women, children and families. Take Back the Night fist started in western Europe in 1973 to empower women to protest the fear they endured while walking the streets at night. The first United States rally appeared in San Francisco in 1978. The event is historically held in mid to late April and is supported by both men and women. Since the beginning, hundreds of protesters participate annually in all 50 states and across the world. Western, among countless other college campuses, is Participating in Take Back the Night during Sexual Assault Awarenass Month in an effort to end violence against women and children. Last year, Take Back the Night included a march to Mama Goldberg's, a Candlelight vigil and a speech by a survivor of sexual violence. This year, the Womens Center hopes to include all the above plus an ongoing PowerPoint presentation somewhere where students and faculty members can see the statistics and effects of sexual violence. Take Back the Night is important for the Westem community because it sends the message that we will not accept or tolerate any kind of sexual Violence, said Sarah Stoltenburg, Director of the Women's Center and Womens Programs. The Womens Center wants more community involvement this year, however. Though fraternities, sororities and other organizations on campus are more than welcome to help sponsor the event, the Womens Genter hopes for more community sponsorship from places like R.E.A.C.H of Jackson County and high school clubs and organizations. Fighting sexual violence is a huge feat, but through events such | as this one, we, as a community, can come one step closer to achieving } our goal of peace and safety for everyone.

There is a lack in the sense of community, and these same students wonder why. The solution to this problem is to take on a more active role in your residence hall. The first step is to introduce yourself to your neighbors, Resident Assistant (RA) and Resident Director (RD). Next, tell your RA what kind of programs you would like to see happen and attend planned programs. A program is a group activity planned by the RA. Finally, getinvolvedin yourlocalresidence govemment body, the Residence Hall Council (RHC). The RHC of each hall is directly connected to the Resident Student Association, and the RSA interacts with the Student Government Association (SGA). Following these steps will give on-campus residents a more active role in their halls and help them see the changes a they want to see.
