The PHEs plan today to distribute inspirational messages attached to Hershey's kisses, as well as paste motivating quotes on bathroom mirrors around Grounds. "Originally we planned a 'Day Without Mirrors,' but we wanted to encompass more," said fourth-year educator Malaika Pepper.

Marching to end violence Tomorrow evening from 6 to 8 at the Downtown Mall, University students, along with fellow Charlottesville and Albemarle County residents, will attempt to reclaim every woman's right to be free from violence. The annual event, known as Take Back the Night and sponsored by the National Organization for Women, will begin with a rally on the Mall, featuring keynote speaker Patricia Ireland, president of NOW. Following the speech, the march will head down Main Street and continue around the Mad Bowl before it ends at the Rotunda, where female survivors of violent acts will speak out and hold a candlelight vigil. "I think this event is an amazing way to raise awareness so that we can all stop the violence against women," said third-year College student Sara Dolan, Inter-Sorority Council women's concerns chair.

By Josie Roberts | April 9, 2001

To tempt: to try to persuade, induce or entice, especially to something immoral or sensually pleasurable. Meet Tom Ritchie, one of the 13 tempting singles on FOX's highly publicized - and highly criticized - reality show "Temptation Island." One month after the show's finale aired, the third-year Law student says his life really hasn't changed that much, but what he took away from the island, he will not soon forget. The premise of "Temptation Island" was to send four couples, all in committed relationships, to an exotic locale where they would be separated for two weeks and be surrounded by beautiful singles.

Taste the nation Free food and free fun: What could be better on a perfect spring day? Last night from 5 to 7, the Alumni Association hosted its food extravaganza, titled the Nation's Flavor, at Alumni Hall. Alumni Association student members sampled delectable dishes, including New England clam chowder, New Orleans jambalaya, Mississippi southern greens and Georgia peach cobbler. In addition to tasty treats, the Nation's Flavor also featured live music that filled the open air, enhancing the fun and relaxed atmosphere of the event. "The idea for this particular event came about because at this University we have a lot of people who come from all over the country and are headed to various regions upon graduation," said third-year College student Anne Greenfield, an Alumni Association intern who helped organize the event.
