Coming to the Students for Life General Meeting this Friday 12 February at the Moose at 3:30pm! Curious about the pro-life philosophy and the consistent life ethic? Want to have fun and meet new people while promoting a common cause? Come to the meeting and meet others who are seeking to promote this most fundamental human right throughout life from conception to natural death! Some may think that this group is just for Catholics. Not at all! The unifying factor of S4L is the fact that all of its members strive for the advancement of the consistent life ethic and its various applications in the life of persons, especially students. Catholics and non-Catholics alike are more than welcome to join us! The Pro-Life movement knows no religious limitations since all of mankind has the fundamental right to life! We look forward to seeing you there!

The Jane Hibbard Idema Women's Studies Center and the YWCA present the annual Clothesline Project, from Febuary 5-20, in lower Wege. The purpose of the Clothesline Project is to "increase awareness about the impact of violence against women, to celebrate a woman's strength to survive, and to provide another avenue for survivors to courageously break the silence that often surrounds their experience." The project takes place in over 500 communities and the Grand Rapids YWCA has been a participant since 1977. "The concept is simple -- let each woman tell her own story, in her own unique way, and hang it out for all to see. It was and is a way of airing society's dirty laundry."

Valentine's Day has been a holiday that most of my life I have dreaded.
Through grammar school the fear that I had fewer valentines in the mailbox than anyone else plagued me from Feb 1 through 14. Amazingly, in my teens if I did have a boyfriend, it seemed we'd start quarreling at the end of January, and by heart day I was usually sulking on the couch, watching The Mary Tyler Moore Show or Rhoda, thinking at least they would understand how I was feeling.
When I finally met the love of my life,
