open house, hosted by Pride Alliance, meet one of the candidates, and

2) Day of Silence & "Breaking the Silence": Wed 4/18
Mudd Multipurpose Room (on the South 40), 8 pm, FREE PIZZA DINNER!
The National Day of Silence (http://www.dayofsilence.org) is a day in
which people of all sexual orientations and gender identities who
support GLBTQIA rights take a vow of silence to recognize and protest
the silence that many GLBTQIA people face each day. Every year we hope
that the silence, discrimination, and violence directed at GLBTQIA
people will end.
Join PROF. SUSAN STIRITZ of Women's and Gender Studies, and Student
Union President-Elect NEIL PATEL that evening for our "Breaking the
Silence" discussion, Q & A, and FREE pizza dinner.
TO PARTICIPATE: take a vow of silence and/or wear black with a rainbow
ribbon or button-- we'll be handing out free rainbow ribbons and
buttons, as well as "Why I Am Silent Today" cards in Mallinkrodt
Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday from 11-1.
(Co-sponsored with Outlook and Safe Zones)

...That's all, folks! Have a good rest of the semester and good luck
on final exams!
