alert system, called RAVE, in 2007, but only began collecting data in 2013. RAVE allows the university to send out a mass text message to all students who sign up to receive them.
Since 2013, KU Alerts has sent 20 text alerts to the Lawrence campus. All University of Kansas campuses use the RAVE system, but Barcomb-Peterson said the Law-

"We use [texts] in rare instances because we want students and others in our campus community to know that communications sent by text are of critical importance, and we don't want text messages to become background noise,"
rence campus tries to limit the number of texts.
Barcomb-Peterson said in an email.
Of the 20 text messages sent since 2013, 10 were weather alerts, three were system tests, five were updates on public safety and two were follow-up messages when there was no longer any security threat.

McGough: 'Suffragette' delivers a purposeful, brilliantly told story
CAMERON MCGOUGH
@cammcgough
Though "Suffragette" eloquently displays the grim realities for women in London during the early 1900s, it focuses more on the singular character of Maud Watts (played by an exquisite Carey Mulligan), rather than the pivotal aspects of the women's suffrage movement as a whole. Luckily for the film, that isn't such a bad thing.
As a factory worker, Watts is surrounded by injustice. Her stand against inequality doesn't begin until she tags along with her friend and co-worker Violet Miller (an unshakable Anne-Marie Duff) who is to present testimony at a hearing that would decide the outcome of a progressive voting rights bill.
Through the circumstances, Watts is instead left to present her own testimony before the court, which sparks her involvement in the cause. Once the prime minister rejects the bill despite overwhelmingly convincing testimony, Watts becomes permanently entangled.
The film is relevant today in a time when the gender pay gap still exists. Though it's apparent that society has a come a long way, there is still work to be done. The innate nature of the film reminds us of that, though it doesn't capitalize on it. Through amazing performances among the entire cast, especially Mulligan and Helena Bonham Carter as the
The film is directed (Sarah Gavron) and written (Abi Morgan) by women. These female filmmakers have wonderfully crafted a film that incites action and awareness rather than pity and sorrow. The film displays its fair share of pity and sorrow, but it only works to further the fire that has spread throughout London by these suffragettes.
fearless Edith Ellyn, the viewers don't just see the hardships and injustices for women — they feel them.
The women carry on, despite arrest after arrest, despite bruises and cuts. Watts even loses her son, George (Adam Michael Dodd) in a heartbreaking scene. Many of the women are shunned and ousted by their husbands.
Although the film isn't necessarily a true story, it masterfully draws truth from history in a purposeful way.
Halfway through the film, you may find yourself asking, "Where is Meryl Streep?" Unlike most films with Streep, she makes a one-and-done appearance, though her character, the real-life activist Emmeline Pankhurst, is mentioned throughout the film, often on the cover of newspapers. It's as if the filmmakers wanted to satiate diehard Streep fans long enough to see her brief, inspirational appearance among the suffragettes. Perhaps some of her other scenes ended up on the cutting room floor. Regardless, there's always a chance that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences
Just as each character helped bring about suffrage for women, each person working on this film brought about something spectacular. It's not a typical Hollywood film; it's more like an independent film — it has a solid purpose and a relevant meaning.
could throw in another Oscar nomination for her.
In the end, a life is sacrificed for the cause. We never know exactly what happens to Watts, Miller or Ellyn. But what we do know is that the
real women during this time faced similar hardships and fought for the same rights.
These contributions to women's rights still reverberate through history. Though the film may not prompt a huge movement in today's gender inequality issues, it could provide a start.
