If one picture can speak
[.000 words. then Patricia
Schmittfull hopes 4000 pictures
can change UK's campus.

Over the past six weeks,
Schmittfull. a volunteer at the
Violence Intervention and Pre-
vention Center. has been taking
pictures of female students hop-
ing to have 4,000 pictures to
represent the number of women
at UK who will be affected by
sexual violence this year.

It was difﬁcult to
ﬁnd people to photo—
graph. Schmittfull
said. Many didn‘t
want to have their
pictures taken.

“Sometimes it
got frustrating, but I
always kept going
since I knew it was
for a great cause."
said Schmittfull. a
psychology fresh-
man. “It is all to
serve the campus and
reduce violence on it.
especially violence
against women."

The pictures will be dis—
played tonight at 6 at Memorial
Hall when the VIP Center pre-
sents its third annual Take Back
the Night event. The event —
comprised of a silent march.
speeches from supporters and an
empowerment concert — aims
to raise awareness about vio-
lence against women and to sup—
port increased campus safety.

Schmittfull hopes that by
displaying these pictures. it will
have a greater impact than just
raising awareness. She said

I .. Violence
against women
touches all of us

no matter our
race, class or
gender"

THOMPSON

psychology senior and
Take Back the Night co-chair

women should know sexual vio-
lence affects everyone and that
no one is safe from it.

This year‘s march is differ-
ent than the events of the past
two years when groups of peo-
ple chanted and marched. be~
cause this year the participants
will be silent. said McKenzie
Thompson. co-chair of Take
Back the Night and a psycholo-
gy senior.

The silent walk will start at
6 pm. in front of Memorial
Hall. continue down South
Limestone Street to Washington
Avenue. then down
Rose Street to
Funkhouser Drive
and will end back
at Memorial Hall.

Take Back the
Night began in
1877 in England
when women began
protesting against
the fear of walking
the streets alone at
night. Support for
the cause came to
the US in 1978.
UK held its ﬁrst
march in 2006. and
nearly 500 people participated in
last year‘s event.

“UK students need to get in-
volved with this event because
violence against women touches
all of us no matter our race.
class or gender.“ Thompson
said.

Take Back the Night allows
survivors and people who sup-
port survivors of violence to be
heard. Thompson said. This op-
portunity is a chance for the
community to come together

Students can find
healthy food on

campus but don't
always look for it

By Alle Rorie

news@kykemel.com

The dreaded “freshman 15"
looms in the nightmares of some col-
lege freshman as they eat fewer
home-cooked meals and begin to de-
pend on their own cash and cravings
for food on campus.

If students gain those pounds or
lack certain nutrients or food groups.
it is not because they cannot find
healthy eating on campus. said Rose
Payton. general manager of Com-
mon's Market.

"They can eat as healthy as they
want to here." Payton said. “We ac-
commodate everybody. I haven’t
seen a diet yet that we couldn’t facil»
itate.“

March is the American Dietetic
Association‘s National Nutrition
Month and the resources on and near
campus offer students the ability to
make healthy choices. Payton said.

But even though healthier op-
tions are offered. Payton said stu-
dents don‘t always choose to eat
healthy.

“Some people have a hard time
making the choices themselyes be
cause they don‘t want to give up

Gays transgenders explore meaning ofs sex

By Laura Clerk
news@kykernel.com

Sitting on the edge of the stage in the
Center Theater last night. Sarah Perlmutter
deﬁned gender and sex as two different
words.

“A person‘s sex is what they were born
as. but a person‘s gender is the sex that
feels more natural to them.“ said Perlmut—
ter, a sociology sophomore.

Perlmutter. along with several other
UK students. led a discussion titled. “In
My Shoes: Stories of Our Lesbian. Gay.
Bi-sexual. Transgendered. Questioning and
Ally Campus and Community.“ The dis-
cussion was part of the Diversity Dia-
logues series sponsored by Student Diver-
sity Engagement and the Division of Stu-
dent Affairs.

The event aimed to raise awareness of
harassment toward gay and transgender peo-
ple. and to allow the panel to share their ex-

periences and answer questions about dis-
crimination.

The main point of the discussion was
to educate those who may not understand
some of the issues gay and transgender stu‘
dents have to deal with. which is why in-
ternational studies sophomore Danielle
Cole attended.

“As an ally. I want to be more informed,"
Cole said. “There are always more issues you
can learn about.“

Political science junior Meredith-Chris—
tine Maxwell was bom anatomically as a
male. but she said before college she real-
ized that her true gender was female. It has
been difﬁcult to properly inform people
about her gender as a transwoman. she
said.

“Sometimes you have to let people
stew in their ignorance." Maxwell said.
“Correcting a person too much could lead
to anger."

Many students in'Maxwell‘s position

have found a safe haven in OllTsoiircc. thc
uniwrsity‘s resource center for gays. les‘
bians. bisexuals. lransgcndcrs and ques-
tioning students. I'K's administration sup-
ports the center because it has a pn'slilVC
voice on campus. \1lld (‘ascy Lyons. the
co—dircctor of ()l lTsourcc.

“People can see we're making the
change on campus that we were piit there
to make." said Lyons. an Iinglish and
Spanish senior.

Perlmutter suggested that the first step
in promoting awareness of the intolerance
of gays is living by example

“When something offensive is said
about gays. it's important to speak up." she
said.

Raising awareness of discrimination
against gays and trangendcrs works largely in
pan in the bonding of diversity on campus.
Perlmutter said.

“We‘re all trying to do the same thing.
so let‘s do it together." she said.
