Activists planning campus women's center

published in The Daily Illini Feb. 13, 2008

The first story about an issue I would come to follow: the development of a women's center on the campus of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

This story also contains one of my favorite lede sections:

"A group of 17 women and three men met Thursday evening to discuss the need for a campus women's center.

When a sign-in sheet was passed around, participants listed their contact information using a pen from the Women's Resource Center at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

"We want our own pen," said Ross Wantland, coordinator of sexual assault education for the Office of Women's Programs.

But the 20 people at Thursday's meeting want more than a pen. They want a space of their own."
