Hey everyone!

It's that time again to register for the United Council's Women's Leadership Conference.  It will be held the weekend of Nov. 17-19th at UW-LaCrosse.  If you want to attend please register online at http://www.unitedcouncil.net and tell me if you will want to ride there with me.  Also, you can make your own hotel reservations or talk to me.  The deadline for registration is Oct 27 but I would like to have a list of people riding with me and staying with me by Oct 13th so I can make the appropriate reservations.  Please register online first and then tell me.  You can drive up separately and stay at another hotel if you so desire.  If you are going by yourself and not with me, can I also know so I can keep a number of members from our school going.

Also, is anyone interested in making a Titan Factor team with me.  I would need 3 other members for a team of 4.  This would be held on Oct 14th in front of Titan Stadium for Homecoming.

Sincerly,
Molly Smith
WAC Co-Director

Message-ID: <f576a5741b708.45292112@uwosh.edu>

Hey everyone!  Last week's minutes will be sent tomorrow.  Sorry for the delay.  I wanted to inform all of you about The Vagina Monologues.  The information meeting will be held on T 10/24 at 6 p.m. in the Women's Center.  It will discuss the auditions and other ways to help out with this year's production.  I will be holding auditions on W 11/15 from 6 until 7:30 p.m. in the Women's Center.  You do not have to come with a monologue prepared.  I will have you read from one of the monologues.  Please come with a monologue in mind that you might want to perform.  The dates of the performances are Feb 23-25.  I am looking for a co-director to help me with the whole production.  If you are interested please contact me.  I look forward to presenting this on campus.  This is a big community fundraiser.  All the profits go towards the VDay Foundation, Christine Ann Center, and our UWO Women's Center.

Hello WAC members!

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED ON MONDAY OCT. 16!!!

I'm looking for a few *great* volunteers! I am currently working on Gordon 
Hintz's campaign. He is running for the 54th State Assembly. You can learn 
more about Gordon through his website: www.hintzforassembly.com. Also, 
here's a link to The Northwestern which details some of the issues the 
candidates discussed in a forum last night (issues related to healthcare): 
http://www.thenorthwestern.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061010/OSH0101/610100452/1128/OSHnews.

Here's the "volunteer" part.... :)
We're doing a LIT DROP on MONDAY NIGHT OCT. 16TH. No knocking on doors, no 
having to talk to citizens about the issues, just dropping Gordon's lit on 
porches and moving on. Pretty darn easy, and you're helping to elect a 
candidate endorsed by Planned Parenthood Advocates of WI.

If you're interested in helping, please contact me at 
erikastueber at hotmail.com or 920-382-2448.
Thanks!
Erika Stueber

Elect Gordon Hintz to the 54th State Assembly! (www.hintzforassembly.com)

Subject: [WAC-list] Drunk Sex or Date Rape: Can You Tell the Difference?
Message-ID: <f6dab5c919ecd.452e4a84@uwosh.edu>

CARE and MenCARE are sponsoring a speaker next week that should be of interest to all of you.  Please try to attend and bring your friends!

Drunk Sex or Date Rape: Can You Tell the Difference?
Brett Sokolow, JD
Tuesday, October 17th
Reeve Ballroom
8-9:30pm
  
Some students on campuses today engage in a hook-up culture of random sexual encounters with other students, usually fueled by alcohol. But, just because some students are getting drunk and hooking-up doesn't make it right, or legal. When does a hook-up cross the line? Students don't really
know, and they've heard confusing messages. This program teaches students about incapacity and blackouts, and dispels common myths about alcohol and sex.
 
 Brett Sokolow is a higher education attorney who specializes in sexual misconduct and campus security. He is the President of the National Center for Higher Education Risk Management. Brett is the Editor of the Report on Campus Safety and Student Development, and the author of ten books on campus security, sexual misconduct and campus judicial affairs.

Women?s Advocacy Council Meeting Minutes
October 9, 2006 @ 3:00 p.m. in the Women?s Center
Attendance: Bethany, Kay, Marianne, Molly, Jennifer, Helen
 
New Business:
OSA Report ~ Marianne
Book drive ~ Marianne and Molly received an email about a book drive happening in December through the Bookstore.  We will look into doing this same one during the Spring Semester
 
Old Business:
Vagina Monologues ~ The informational meeting will be held on T 10/24 at 6 p.m. in the Women?s Center.  If you cannot attend please contact Molly if you are still interested!
Voices of Africa ~ This will cost $500 and will take place on March 5th on the Reeve Concourse.  We approved the funding for this program.
Women?s Leadership Conference ~ Come join Molly and Marianne at this year?s United Council Women?s Leadership Conference.  We still have 4 spots available.  Contact Molly for more information.
Make a Difference Day: W 10/25 ~ Email from Marianne: Thank you for your interest in Make a Difference Day.  To answer you questions the event will be held in Reeve Union in the Titan Underground. The display should be made before the event but many groups are making there displays interactive.  If you need any more information please feel free to contact us.  Here are some examples of what other groups are doing:   Peace Poems and Quotes, Red cross is educating about community efforts, Arts and Crafts tables where the crafts made will be donated to local nursing homes and hospitals.  Anything you would like to do would be wonderful. If you need some ideas of what to do we have some set up as well. 
Women?s History Month Speaker ~ Discuss last week?s choices and vote!
Xina Sy ~ Her honorarium is $3000 plus travel expenses.  She offers 3 programs:
Soaring in Uncertainty: Moving from Fear to Faith ~ This motivational keynote is inspired by the program of the same name, was created to inspire your audience though times of adversity.  She profiles famous women who have overcome the odds in her presentation.
Resolutions for a Lifetime: Resolving to Become you Best ~ This program encourages women to break self-defeating behaviors of the past and make positive moves towards a more positive future.
Powerful Partnerships and Creative Collaborations: How to Master the Fine Art of Working Together ~ Powerful, passionate methods on how to cultivate lasting, successful and lucrative partnerships in business and personal life.
o       Robin Garrett ~ What would work best for me would be to arrive on a Wed. evening or late afternoon. Then I could have the later part of the evening and day time on Thursday to talk with women students in small groups, classroom settings, over lunch and so on to get a feel for what your students? thoughts and questions are related to spirituality, religious observance and organized religion. I would then take the afternoon to build into my presentation what ZI learned from talking with your students and do the formal presentation on Thursday evening. You could fly me back on a ?red eye,? or I could stay until Friday morning.  I would be flying from Philadelphia airport.  Yes, the honorarium of $500 is what I am asking.  I know this is, by today?s standards, not a large honorarium. I am in the position of great good fortune that public speaking is not my primary source of income.  I also understand what it is to operate with a limited budget.  I know how it is in state schools. : )  Dates I could do this would be:
?         Fly on Wed. Feb. 28, speak on Thurs. Mar.1
?         or    Wed. Mar.7, speak on Thurs. Mar. 8
?         or     Wed. Mar.21, speak on Thurs. Mar. 22.
?         The 14/15  are not possible.
?         The last week would be possible but much harder for me.
o       Robin Silverman ~ Email from Marianne: Hi Ladies!  I just got off the phone with Robin Silverman, one of our candidates for Women's History Month. I love her! She is so confident and really has a lot of good ideas. She'd like to come for a night/day thing too... just like the other Robin. Kind of a "brown bag dinner" she said, listen to the audience too, and then hold a kind of workshop the next day to teach people things. Something about how quantum physicists have found 12 dimensions so if we're only living in 3 were missing the other 9... wow! ha-ha. Intense. So? She'd be flying in from Minneapolis, which is convenient. And for the event thing she charges $3000. She said she would do like 700-900 for just a night speaker thing, but she is so set on wanting to do more, because she says she has so much to offer. And I believe her! ha-ha... so, just wanted to pass on the message. We can talk more on Monday!
 
Reminder:
Stitch ?n Bitch: Wednesdays 4:30-5:30 p.m. Sept 20 through Dec 6 (excluding November 22) ~ Looking for a creative outlet and a place to let off steam after a stressful day?  Pat Hodgell, fantasy writer and English lecturer, will lead us through the mazes of knitting, showing us how the craft becomes an art.  All levels are welcomed from never picked up a knitting needle to already creating artwork from yarn.
Chancellor?s Walk for Safety: M 10/16 @ 6:00 p.m. ~ Save the date so you can attend.
Check the Women?s Center website for more events happening later this semester!

Message-ID: <f67ec1c223356.453ceac4@uwosh.edu>

*While this is sponsored by the College Republicans this really isn't a partisan event. It's an event for people with common sense*

UW-Oshkosh College Republicans are hosting a Rally and Prayer Vigil in response to the Campus Greens event on October 26th. The Greens are playing the movie Loose Change 2 and have invited 9-11 Conspiracy Professor Kevin Barrett to come speak in Reeve Memorial Union. 

We will hear a statement from Representative Steve Nass regarding his view on the Barrett issue. And Congressman Mark Green has been invited to speak as well.

This event is open to anyone and everyone to show their distaste the for the teachings of Kevin Barret. Most importantly we plan to pay our respects to the victims of that fateful day in September of 2001. 

We will have a microphone and speakers set up and some signs will be provided. Feel free to bring your own signs as long as they don't have sticks attached to them. 

Please dress appropriately as we will be outside. As of tonight the forecast for Oshkosh calls for a 30% chance of rain and a low temp of 34 degrees. 

Even if you can't make it please invite your friends. We want to have a huge showing for this event. 

Refreshments will be provided.

I was invited to this event through facebook.  Here is the link: http://uwosh.facebook.com/event.php?eid=2213252810

New Business:
OSA Report (Marianne) ~ None
Northwestern Ad ~ On Sunday 11/5, a group of Oshkosh residents are putting an ad in the Oshkosh Northwestern with names of those who will be voting against the proposed gay marriage amendment.  If you are interested, contact Marianne for more information.
Statewide Women?s Studies LGBTQ Conference ~ This will be held April 21-23 in Madison.  Save the date if interested!
Global Poverty Act ~ Email to Marianne:  Thank you for your response!  I am working with Ashley Pohlmann on the mobilization efforts for H.R. 3605, The Global Poverty Act.  It takes very little effort to make a difference and I am extremely grateful that you and your organization are willing to take a few minutes to help in the effort to address global poverty.  Below I have provided a phone script and a sample letter to use when you call, write, email, or fax Rep. Petri or his foreign policy advisor.  Phone: Congressman Tom Petri: 202-225-2476  A  phone call literally takes less than one minute and has a great impact.  When the staffer answers, just say "I'm calling to ask Congressman Petri to cosponsor H.R. 3605, The Global Poverty Act."  He or she may ask you for your name or contact information and then will forward your comment to the Foreign Policy Legislative Assistant.  Letter, fax, or email:  Dear Congressman Petri, I am writing to ask you to cosponsor H.R. 3605, the Global Poverty Act.  You have proven to be a leader in Congress, especially when it comes to humanitarian issues.  I think that the U.S. needs to be doing more to address global poverty issues and to ensure that the U.N. Millennium Development Goals are achieved.  Sincerely,  (your name) 
      Address: Congressman Tom Petri
      2462 Rayburn Building
      Washington, DC 20515
      Email Rep. Petri?s Foreign Policy Legislative Assistant, Tyler Schwartz:             tyler.schwartz at mail.house.gov  If you are a constituent, you can email Rep. Petri        through the House of Representatives website: http://www.house.gov/writerep/
Women?s Expo ~ This Saturday in Kolf.  The Women?s Center will be having a table.
Is College Life Like in the Movies?: M 10/30 @ 6 in Reeve Theatre ~  A series of movie clips will be shown about college life, including scenes from movies such as "Back to School," "Animal House," "American Pie II," or "Legally Blond."  Do these movies influence expectations about what college will be like?  What about how students are represented?  Women?  Fraternities and sororities?  What about how professors are represented?  A discussion will accompany the clips led by Professors Helen Bannan and Richard Kalinoski, and sorority representative Jenny Schad.  Popcorn and cider will be served.  A special thank you to the UW Oshkosh Film Society for helping to organize this event.  Students are asked to please RSVP at grants at uwosh.edu by Monday, Oct. 23rd. 
A Forum of Faith Perspectives on the Amendment: M 10/23 @ 7 in Reeve 227C ~ Religious authorities on campus and surrounding campus-related organizations have been contacted and asked to present their perspectives on the proposed amendment. We would like to begin the forum by allowing each representative group to present its concerns about the amendment and how they, as people of faith, are responding. Each group will have approximately 10-15 minutes to present in whatever way they feel necessary / appropriate. Then, we will open the floor up to questions from the audience / participating members to each group in order to clarify and comment on previously stated responses. The goal of this forum is not intended to argue sides but rather inform the audience of the sides and the reasoning behind them. However, critical debate is also expected due to the nature of the topic and the weight that it carries with it both biblically and socially. If you have any other suggestions as to how this forum may be better accepted, please let me know. As is, we are expecting a rather significant crowd to attend.
Applications for Co-director ~ As you know Marianne will be stepping down at semester so we need a new Co-Director to join Molly in leading WAC.  Applications were emailed out to the WAC list, but if you would still like one contact Molly and she can forward the application to you.  These will be due before Thanksgiving.

Subject: [WAC-list] NARAL Pro-Choice Press Conference
Message-ID: <f645ddea27b50.45409b11@uwosh.edu>

Hi WAC List!

I received a phone call from Carmen of NARAL Pro-Choice who informed me that they will be holding a press conference this Monday, October 30th at 11am.  She asked me if I would search around and see if there are any students willing to speak at this conference.  They can provide speaking points, but the focus would be on the implications Mark Green would have on women's healthcare, should he be elected governor.  If anyone is interested in saying a few words, please write back and let me know, and I will pass that on to Carmen. Again, it is this Monday, October 30th at 11am in Reeve 201, and you can reach me at radlem96 at uwosh.edu.

Thank you!!

Marianne Radley
WAC Co-Director

A new Facebook group ~ Concerned Students and Citizens of Oshkosh, Beginning with a 2003 environmental audit, The University of Wisconsin Oshkosh has begun making steps toward becoming an environmentally responsible and sustainable campus.  In support of these efforts UWO students have formed a new environmentally-focused group, Students for Sustainable Food (SSF), which has initiated a campaign to bring greater sustainability in campus dining in hopes of making UWO a model of ethical and environmentally responsible eating.  In order to make this campaign a success SSF is looking for allies within the campus and community who feel that healthy, ethical food choices are a vital part of the university's mission toward sustainability and environmental responsibility.  As a young organization with a large task at hand, any variety of contribution, from information, to manpower, to co-sponsorship, would be beneficial and greatly appreciated.
