Participants sought for 'ReltEmber Quilt' Project
Cal Poly is planning to exhibit a
" ReMEmber Quilt" as part of this year's
ReMEmber activities April 17-21 and is
seeking volunteers for a variety of jobs,
including designing, cutting fabric , quilt­
ing, and soliciting donations of supplies.
ReMEmber is held in conjunction with
"Take Back the Night," an event dedi­
cated to preventing violence against
women. ReMEmber, which was founded
in 1998, has become a Ca l Po ly tradition
intended as a time for reflection and com­
memoration and as a means to provide
solace and support.
The quilt exhibit, to be unvei led April
19, is designed to raise awareness about
sexual violence and is intended to support
a community tradition of remembering the
victims and survivors of sexual assau lt,
according to Susanne Ke lley, Women 's
Programs advisor.

" The ' ReMEmber Quilt Project ' also
is a ve hicle for healing for individuals
whose lives have been touched by
sexual violence. It serves to mobilize
social reform by creating an interna­
tional symbol - a red hand - and
commitment to stop sexual violence,"
Kelley said.
Each qui lt block that is inc luded in the
display must incorporate the red hand
symbol into the design .
A number of ReMEmber Quilt work­
shops are scheduled in conjunction with
Cal Po ly's "Celebrating Women" event
in February and March . Call Ke lley at
ext. 6-2600 for a schedule of events.
Qui lt panels are due March 8, and vol­

Participants sought for 'ReltEmber Quilt' Project
Cal Poly is planning to exhibit a
" ReMEmber Quilt" as part of this year's
ReMEmber activities April 17-21 and is
seeking volunteers for a variety ofjobs,
including designing, cutting fabric , quilt­
ing, and soliciting donations of supplies.
ReMEmber is held in conjunction with
"Take Back the Night," an event dedi­
cated to preventing violence against
women. ReMEmber, which was founded
in 1998, has become a Ca l Po ly tradition
intended as a time for reflection and com­
memoration and as a means to provide
solace and support.
The quilt exhibit, to be unvei led April
19, is designed to raise awareness about
sexual violence and is intended to support
a community tradition of remembering the
victims and survivors of sexual assau lt,
according to Susanne Ke lley, Women 's
Programs advisor.

" The ' ReMEmber Quilt Project ' also
is a ve hicle for healing for individuals
whose lives have been touched by
sexual violence. It serves to mobilize
social reform by creating an interna­
tional symbol - a red hand - and
commitment to stop sexual violence,"
Kelley said.
Each qui lt block that is inc luded in the
display must incorporate the red hand
symbol into the design .
A number of ReMEmber Quilt work­
shops are scheduled in conjunction with
Cal Po ly's "Celebrating Women" event
in February and March . Call Ke lley at
ext. 6-2600 for a schedule of events.
Qui lt panels are due March 8, and vol­
unteer quilters wi ll be needed to assemb le
the blocks from March 9 to April 15.
For more information about volunteer
activities, call Kelley. D

Ethics of killing animals topic of Feb. 25 talk
Robert Wennberg, professor of
phi losophy at Westmont College will
present "The Challenge of Animal
Liberation: What's Wrong with Killing
A nimals?" at 4 p.m. Feb. 25 in PAC's
Ph ilips Ha ll.
Wennberg works in the areas of theoreti­
cal and applied ethics, with special focus on
abortion, euthanasia and anima l rights.
He asks, "If an animal is painlessly
killed , why should we think anything

wrong has been done?"
Wennberg argues that something
wrong has been done. In his talk, he will
make a case for respecting anima l life and
needing a justifiable reason to end an
anima l's Iife.
He will also explore the implications
for what he calls "moral vegetarianism."
The talk is part of the Philosophy
