The conference is a wonderful opportunity to gain a first hand look at the current political arena, as many in attendance will be preparing for Election 2000. Applications will also be available in the Scholars office after Feb. 16th. Applications will be due Feb. 23rd. MSR is asking men to wear a white ribbon during the week of April 10-15 to make a public statement of their personal pledge, never to commit, condone, nor remain silent about acts of violence against women. This year's White Ribbon Campaign will also coincide with Womyn's Concerns' Take Back the Night Rally and March on Wednesday, April 12.
Help is needed in two ways.
Your help is needed to make several thousand white ribbons and then to distribute them to the men of Penn State. Help is also greatly needed publicizing to the Penn State community about the significance of the White Ribbon Campaign. This is something that MSR cannot do alone. We need your help to end violence against women. Summer of 2000 will be the third year of this award-winning public scholarship project.
