Posters offer Forum for Student Expression
Posters have been placed over the graffiti on the housing trail side of the CRC. “Anger is a valid emotion,” says Dalyn Badis, the student who made the posters, in response to the graffiti. Dalyn is the editor of the Womyn’s Resource Center Newsletter and is offering the newsletter as an alternative forum for students to express their anger-- or any of their other emotions, thoughts, and ideas.
The first poster has been torn down, rained on, dried out, hung back up, and torn again. Another poster offers the newsletter as an outlet for those in our community who feel that their ideas have been treated similarly. It, too, has been torn, as well as being moved from its original position over a circled A, the Anarchy symbol.
On Friday, February 3rd, the poster coverd the mid-portion of the misspelled word 'patriarchy.' On Monday, February 6th, only one scrap of paper remained of either poster.
“I am surprised the [first] poster was torn down so quickly,” said Dalyn before putting the other poster up in response. He wishes that anyone who is inclined to tear down his posters would write into the newsletter explaining why they have that response. “I will publish anything that isn’t hate speech,” Dalyn says.
Submissions can be sent to baddal13@evergreen.edu.
The Womyn’s Resource Center meetings take place at 1:30-3:00 p.m. on Wednesdays at the big conference table in the Student Activities office.

Question about commas
It, too, has been torn, as well as being moved from its original position over a circled A, the Anarchy symbol.
Are the commas after the words "It" and "too" really neccesary? The sentence feels fractured with 4 commas.
If the commas are neccesary in the sentence as it is, would rephrasing the opening to say "It has also been torn" eliminate the need for so many commas?
This comment was aimed at the editors
Sometimes if you leave comments on your own articles while they are going through the different editorial stages the editors will make changes to the way they edit.
We didn't think the sentence
We didn't think the sentence flowed poorly with them, so we didn't take them out... you could restructure the entire sentence to use fewer commas, though.
Its a matter of taste
I have come to like the sentence the way it is.
I figured my first comment might be confusing to readers without my second. I also figured that putting something on the website about the possibility of communication between the writers and editors of the CPJ was a good idea. This might be worth pursuing in an article, hmmm.
