2. Call for Take Back the Night testimonials
Have you, a family member, friend or loved one been affected by sexual violence? We urge you to lend your voice to Take Back The Night, an annual event that seeks to eradicate sexual violence in all forms and make the night safe for women again.
The event will occur at 8pm on Thursday February 4th of Stop Violence Against Women Week, hosted by Amnesty International and Rice Women's Resource Center. Participants will march around Rice University in solidarity for a violence-free world. The march will culminate in a candlelight vigil, in which survivors and their friends will share testimonials of their trials, hopes, and healing.
If you would like to submit a testimonial, we encourage you to slip it in the envelope on the Rice Women's Resource Center door in the Kelley Lounge of the RMC, or to email it to rnp1@rice.edu. Testimonials can remain anonymous and be read by anyone.
We also encourage you to stop by the RMC Wednesday through Friday of next week to create a T-shirt for the Clothesline Project, to be displayed at Rice during Stop Violence Against Women Week. The shirts are a unique way to tell the story about how violence against women has affected your life.
Both Take Back The Night and the Clothesline Project illuminate the shroud of darkness surrounding victims, celebrates survivors' strength and endeavor to abolish sexual violence for all. We urge you to lend your support. Take a stand to shatter the silence and stop the violence.

"Le Dîner de Cons"
Saturday Jan 30th, 2010
Keck Hall 100 at 6pm
RSVP preferred but not required: jv1@rice.edu
The Dinner Game (French: Le dîner de cons, The Idiot's Dinner ) is a 1998 French black comedy film written and directed by Francis Veber. It is a cinema adaptation of the theatrical play of the same name, also written by Veber.
Pierre Brochant (Thierry Lhermitte), a Parisian publisher, attends a weekly "idiots' dinner", where guests, who are prominent Parisian businessmen, must bring along an "idiot" of whom the other guests can make fun. At the end of the dinner, the evening's champion idiot is selected.
With the help of an "idiot scout", Pierre Brochant manages to find a "gem", François Pignon, a Finance Ministry employee whose passion is building replicas of landmarks with matchsticks. When Brochant starts to suffer from bad back, his wife, Christine, leaves him shortly before Pignon arrives at his apartment. When Pignon arrives, he tries to help Brochant by calling many people and, through Pignon's antics, Brochant breaks up with his mistress, Marlene Sasseur. He is also able to make amends with an old friend, Juste LeBlanc, from whom he stole Christine. Eventually, when attempting to call Pascal Meneaux, a known sex addict, to whom Christine had threatened to go, he brings in his friend, a tax auditor, to find Meneaux's phone number. Because Brochant is very rich and has evaded taxes himself, he is forced to hide most of his valuables. In the act of calling Meneaux, the tax auditor makes an unpleasant discovery about his own wife and makes plans to audit Brochant for tax evasion after discovering his hidden valuables.
Pignon eventually discovers the truth behind the dinner that Brochant wanted to take him to and tries to make up for all his wrongdoings by calling Brochant's wife, who had been involved in a car accident after leaving the apartment for the second time (the first time being when Pignon had sent her away thinking she was really Brochant's mistress), and makes no mistakes in this conversation, as well as making up almost perfect excuses on the spot and with no prompting. After encouraging Brochant's wive to return home, Pignon makes yet another mistake after he picks up the telephone when she calls to talk to Brochant despite having previously told her he was in a phone box.

SPRING 2010 STUDY ABROAD FAIR!!!

GRAND HALL
11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.

8. President's Office Hours TODAY from 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm
This is a reminder that President Leebron will hold office hours on
Wednesday, January 27, from 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm in his office on the 4th
Floor of Allen Center. No appointments are necessary. This is a way for
students to convey concerns, ask questions, or just engage President Leebron
in conversation.
The office hours will be conducted with an "open door" approach, allowing as
many students to come as will fit in the president's office. Thus, it is
not the appropriate forum for private, individual problems that are
appropriately handled in the first instance by other university officials.
The link to the office hour schedule is:
