Group to pass out whistles to raise awareness, help

Members of the student organization Working Against Violence Everywhere, or WAVE, will be passing out yellow safety whistles in front of Wescoe Hall and in the Kansas Union this week.
The whistles will be used to help raise awareness of violence and to alert others if a student is in trouble.
About 9,000 whistles will be handed out with an attached piece of paper that reads: "When the whistle blows, the campus knows. For Emergency Use Only."
Karen Isley, Toledo, Ohio, senior and co-president of WAVE, said the group had about 40 members who had
joined since it was formed last semester.
was former last semester. The idea for the organization came to Isley while she was in high school. A girl in her hometown was murdered while walking to her car.
"It really hit home to me," Isley said. "It was really awakening."
She helped form Working Against Violence Everywhere, which led to whistle distribution programs around the world to help raise awareness and protect women.
Isley said that after she heard about other incidents of violence on college campuses, she and 14 people started WAVE as a way to include men and women in the fight against violence. She said the inclusion of men has added to the group's strength.
"It's much better and stronger," she said. "It's not just a women's issue."
Kendall Day, St. Francis senior, agreed with Isley. He
WAVE
Who: Working Against Violence
Everywhere
What: WAVE members will be distributing yellow safety whistles to students to use in emergency situations
- When and Where: From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. March 8-12 in front of Wescoe Hall, and March 9-11 at the Kansas Union lobby
"I'm just really excited about WAVE because it is an organization that can bring men and women together."
**Why:** To increase KU students' awareness about campus violence and to protect students
said one of the best aspects about WAVE was that, unlike many anti-violence groups, WAVE worked to include men.
"I'm just really excited about WAVE because it is an organization that can bring men and women together," Day said.
He also said the group could accomplish things that other
Kendall Day St. Francis senior
groups, such as Student Senate, might not be able to do.
"Given our status, we can apply for grants and hopefully get something done that might get bogged down in the political
process," Day said.
The whistle distribution plan is an example of that power. A grant from Coca-Cola allowed WAVE to purchase and distribute the whistles to students.
Isley said that she hoped the campaign would be effective, and that students would take the whistle idea seriously.
"I just hope that everybody takes advantage of it and that people don't blow the whistles if it is not an emergency," Isley said.
WAVE has meetings every other week,but the meeting times can vary.
Anyone who is interested in attending the meetings or joining WAVE can e-mail the group at wave@eagle.cc.ukans.edu
