Gun Walk

Men in heels walk a mile
Continued from A1
Spencer Skolnick sts43@zips.akron.edu Men strapped on stilettos and walked for a mile alongside women to raise awareness for victims of sexual assault. Last Friday, April 24, the Rape Crisis Center hosted the 10th annual “Walk a Mile in Her Shoes” in Lock 3 Park in downtown Akron. Men literally “walked a mile in her shoes,” or rather, heels, to raise awareness against sexual violence. Both women and men participated. “This event impact[s] the community, campus, and UA students in a positive way by making people aware that sexual assault does happen right here in Akron to people we know and interact with every day,” said UA student Lauren Wurm, who walked the event. “It challenges everyone to take action and refuse to shove the topic under the rug because it’s uncomfortable to talk about. People need to know how to help friends and family members who are at risk of or have experienced sexual assault.” The purpose of this walk was to demonstrate to men what it was like to physically be in women’s shoes.

“With national numbers being that one in six women will experience sexual assault at some time in her life, it is crucial that students become involved,” said Dana Zedak, director of the Rape Crisis Center. “This epidemic won’t stop unless we all take responsibility.” With over 1,000 people in attendance, the event raised

This campaign focuses on preventing acts of sexual violence by educating individuals on the moves they can take to help stop it.
about $100,000, according to the Rape Crisis Center. “My life’s work has been to provide services to survivors and education to the community. Seeing so many people participate in this is a dream come true,” Zedak said. “As an alumnus of The University of Akron, I am thrilled to see the level of involvement from this campus.”

The Collegiate Clothing Drive will be taking place across UA until May 11, collecting gently used clothes and other textiles. The clothing drive donates the clothing and other textiles to the Salvation Army. The Salvation Army then will sell these gently used clothes and other textiles at their stores. The proceeds will go to its adult rehabilitation programs, according to Andrew Henry, manager of UA Recycling, Grounds, and Special Services. The clothing drive started on campus as part of a collegiate challenge called “OneShirt,” organized by the company SustainU. After two years, SustainU no longer held the challenge, so UA’s Physical Facilities Operations Center started to run the clothing drive, according to Henry. This is the fourth consecutive year that the clothing drive is being run by PFOC, which wants to reward donors
who are caught “green-handed.” Getting caught “green handed” means a member of PFOC catches a donor and rewards the donor. The reward for getting caught “green-handed” is a CamelBak water bottle with UA’s sustainability logo. More than one donor can be rewarded a CamelBak. Last year, 20 to 25 people were caught “green-handed,” according to
Henry. “I always have extra clothes at the end of spring semester that I can live without,” said Patrick Kmitt, a sophomore. Other textiles that will be accepted are footwear, purses, quilts, blankets, pillows and belts. Last year, the Collegiate Clothing Drive collected about 1,400 pounds of textile products. There are eight drop-off locations across campus and Akron. • Quaker Square Inn (Hotel Side), 135 South Broadway. • Exchange Street Residence Hall (Courtyard), 180 East Exchange Street. • Wonder Bread Building (East Side), 178 South Forge Street. • Student Union (South East Corner), 303 Carroll Street. • Spicer Residence Hall (Breezeway), 290 Spicer Street. • South Hall (Breezeway), 353 Grant Street. • There are two at the North Quad (besides the Honor’s The sustainability water bottle Complex), 188 South Colrewarded to donors caught lege Street. “green-handed.”
