Ever wonder why you don’t have any say in what movies get shown on the weekends?

Well, you do now. Yay, quasi-democracy!

We’ve picked 8 movies and we’d like you to check out the trailers and vote for which ones should be our last 4 screenings this semester. Vote for up to 4, but with great power comes great responsibility. Check out all of the movies and choose wisely.

Just go to http://www.tinyurl.com/swatvote

Acquaintance Sexual Assault Prevention (ASAP) is now accepting applications for students interested in facilitating workshops during Orientation Week 2009 (August 24–30).

Recognizing that sexual assault can happen on campus is the first step to increasing overall awareness and fostering a safer environment. In the past few years, the Swarthmore community has worked to raise awareness of issues of sexual violence, with initiatives including the Clothesline Project, the Handprint Project, the SMART Team, and ASAP. The ASAP program plays a crucial role in the development of new students’ attitudes towards sexual assault and increasing awareness.

ASAP workshops are held at the end of the orientation period (Aug. 28–30) and are designed to introduce new students to the issue of sexual assault, prevention tips, and the resources available at Swarthmore for sexual assault prevention. The workshops aim to create an awareness of acquaintance sexual assault and provide a comfortable atmosphere for dialogue about sexual consent.

If you are interested in facilitating and will be returning to campus for the fall semester, please apply with the application below! No experience in facilitation, sexual assault prevention, or health education is necessary. Facilitators work in pairs and arrive the day before the new students for training beginning August 24, 2009. All are encouraged to apply, including RAs, CAs, athletes, and other workshop/orientation participants. We will work with the OC to avoid scheduling conflicts.
