SEB presents:

Cleve Jones

Tuesday, Nov. 9th

6:00 p.m.

CUB Auditorium

SEB invites everyone to join them Tuesday night for a discussion on AIDS awareness, gay rights and the movie Milk.

Cleve Jones is founder of NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt, which has memorialized over 80,000 Americans killed by AIDS. Jones was befriended by AIDS activist Harvey Milk in the 1970s and worked as a student intern in Milk's office after Milk was elected to the San Fransisco Board of Supervisors. After the assassination of Milk in 1978, Jones went on to co-found the San Fransisco AIDS Foundation in 1983, conceived the idea of the quilt memorial in 1985, and created the first quilt panel in memory of his friend Marvin Feldman in 1987.

Today Cleve Jones is an activist, author and lecturer passionate about raising awareness of AIDS. See him, speak with him, and watch a movie about his friend Harvey Milk on Tuesday night. Portions of the quilt will be on display in the CUB Ballroom Nov. 30-Dec. 2

Take Back the Night

Take Back The Night
Don't Let Violence Poison Your Community
Wednesday, Oct. 13th
6pm - 7pm
Glenn-Terrell Mall (Todd Steps)

Hey all. Take Back the Night is a really awesome program put on by the Coalition for Women Students, which marches against violence. It's a great cause that a lot of people take part in, and it's a great way to show your support for those that have been affected, and as a way to demonstrate that we are not going to stand for violence anymore.

We have the power /
We have the right /
The streets are ours /
Take back the night.

Francesca White, one of the many involved with the event, had this to say:

"We usually have tons of fraternities and sororities come out to rally. Its October 13th 6-7pm starting on the Glenn-Terrell Mall Todd Steps. Everyone will get a free shirt to wear during the march and commemorate their participation. We'll have guest performances by Revolutionary Minds, Darcel Carter and Jacob Leon from Genevieve with a candle-light vigil at the end."
