NIGHT

deeply affected her.
"It was very upsetting, there were
tears in my eyes," Bhat said. Partici-
pants left the Diag after the rally
and proceeded throughout down-
town Ann Arbor shouting several
chants such as, "Yes means yes, no
means no, however we look, wher-
ever we go."
On South State Street participants
marched silently in memory of
those who died as a result of sexual-
ized violence.
The march concluded on the Diag,
where participants lit candles for the
survivors. RC sophomore Kristi
McGuire, who carried a sign through-
out the march, said this was the sec-
ond time she attended a Take Back

the Night march. "It was fantastic,"
she said when the march ended. "The
only way I can think to improve it is
if more people participated."
During the march, a group of
almost 20 men participated in a
workshop and dialogue organized by
the White Ribbon Campaign as an
alternative "for men who don't want
to participate out of respect for the
survivors' space," Rackham student
Gary Brouhard said. The White Rib-
bon Campaign, a group of men
working to end violence against
women, formed in Canada in 1991.
LSA junior Benjamin Osborne
attended the workshop after the
rally instead of marching.
"It was really interesting to see
the open display of emotion that
you don't get in typical all-male set-
tings," Osborne said.

LSA junior Katie Foley, executive director of
the project and former president of Circle-K ser-
vice organization, said the group wanted to do a
day of community service that is different from
other projects Circle-K has worked on.
"We wanted to reach out to different communities
and bring people together to do service rather than
breaking them apart like other projects do," Katie
Foley said.
The project worked with eight other organizations
including Habitat for Humanity Detroit, Northwest
Detroit Neighborhood Development, Inc. and Motor
City Blight Busters.
John O'Brien, executive director for Northwest
Detroit Neighborhood Development, Inc., said they
want people to volunteer so they can get excited
about the future of Detroit.
"All of our futures are bound together. It is the
tendency for those who are successful to separate
themselves from the poor and working class, but
stability depends on a diversity of people living
together and building something great," O'Brien
said.
O'Brien said his organization builds houses
and works to attract development in Northwest
Detroit.
"The most important part of what we do is

1" love Detroit. It's
beautiful, but it needs a
lot of work."

developing leadership and attracting volunteers.
It will take a coalition of volunteers to help us
accomplish our goal of rebuilding this whole
area within the next 10 years," O'Brien said.
Despite the weather, the volunteers were all
happy to partake in cleaning the community.
LSA junior Brian LaLonde, stationed to clean up
Stoepel Park on Evergreen Road, was happy to work
regardless of the cold.
"I love Detroit, it's beautiful, but it needs a lot of
work. I expected a beautiful shining day, but this
works. It doesn't have our spirits down," LaLonde
said.
Katie Foley said her goal was to "make stu-
dents more aware of the greater community and
let people know how they can get involved."
She wants the project to expand in the future by
including more organizations and getting more stu-
dents involved.
