December 9th thru the 13th, 2002
This week is officially centered around our "Fun with Gynecology Day."
This event is designed to help educate others on the importance of visiting
your Gynecologist. Many people out there, especially incoming freshmen don't
realize the importance of having regular checkups, nor are they aware or the
potential benefits of such a visit. As the title suggests, we are attempting
to get rid of the the stigma of fear and nervousness that keeps many people
either away from the Gynecologist or keeps them from truly benefitting from
this useful service. Well, that is where the FMLA takes over and makes it
wild with "Fun with Gynecology Day" which will officially be held
on Tuesday, December 2nd in the Frangippani (how in the heck do you spell
that one?!?!?) Room in the Union. There will be gender-bending cookie decorating,
films, a photo oportunity with the giant-vagina, and possibly games and educators/entertainers.

January 22nd, 2003- Wednesday at 7:00pm (tentative)
The Central Black Student Union is holding a Debate on Abortion. Hopefully
there will be some rearranging of the format and title of the debate to make
it a more open experience for all. In theory, this is to be a debate which
mirrors the ongoing public debate on abortion. There will be several FMLA
members involved on the panel, and the event is open to questions and comments
from the audience. We encourage your attendence to help educate and inform
those who may not be informed on this very important issues. So, get informed,
show up, and ask a few positive questions! If you have any questions about
directions or about the debate email to fmla@indiana.edu
November 5th, 2002 - Tuesday
November 5th is election day! The FMLA encourages everyone to get out and

The Take Back the Night March will be our next big event. This is one of the
most successful and exciting events that the FMLA is a part of every year.
Take Back the Night is a nationwide event that has drawn massive support from
all fronts. We will be leading the march this year, so make sure that the
FMLA is well represented because we will be holding the banner and leading
the chants! The march is on Thursday September 26 at 7:00 in Dunn Meadow.
This years' keynote speaker will be Toby Strout who works with Middleway house.
There will also be a vigil, the march (of course) , and speak-out at the courthouse.
This is a huge chance to protest violence against women, so bring all of your
friends and prepare to be heard in Bloomington! (For more information, click
