Ten years ago, Eve Ensler's "The Vagina Monologues" was performed as a benefit to raise money and awareness to stop violence against women and girls around the world. Since then it has been performed annually in thousands of locations across the globe. This year marks TCU's fourth to participate, with all proceeds going to SafeHaven. Leading up to the performances on Friday, February 13th, and Saturday, February 14th, are a week of events geared towards raising awareness for domestic violence.
Wednesday, February 11th, we are hosting "Read My Lips" - a poetry slam with nationally renown poet Michael Guinn - in Moudy 141N from 7:30 - 9. Students are invited to take the stage with Michael and his group to compete for over $200 worth of prizes. We feel that it would be a fantastic opportunity for students, and faculty alike, to participate in such an event. In the lobby of Moudy North, TCU's Post Secret will be on display.
The Rules for those participating are simple:
1.) Each poem must be of the poet's own construction;
2.) Each poet gets three minutes (plus a ten-second grace period) to read one poem.
3.) The poet may not use props, costumes or musical instruments;
4.) Of the scores the poet received from the five judges, the high and low scores are dropped and the middle three are added together, giving the poet a total score of 0-30
*The poems do not have to be memorized*
Hating poetry because of a crappy teacher is as foolish as hating football because the Cowboys had a crappy season.
