The month of February is known as Black History Month, but for one group it has added significance.
The February Sisters Association is an organization on campus that was formed to honor the memory of The February Sisters, a feminist group that formed in 1972. The February Sisters is responsible for bringing the Women's Studies Program to the University.
"I think it's important because it highlights achievements of the past of KU history," said Allecia Ruscin, president of the February Sisters Association. "It's important to raise attention to that history and how we continue to do feminist activism today."

On Feb. 7, 1972, the February Sisters held one of the most effective women's rights events at the University. Thirty women occupied the East Asian Studies building, previously south of GSP-Corbin Hall, and demanded the University offer free childcare, women's health care, a women's studies program, a female staff member on the financial aid committee,

and basic equality for all women students.
Throughout the month of February the association sponsors programs that raise money for different women's organizations in the Lawrence community, such as the battered women's shelter and the rape crisis center.
"Body image issues are so critical for women students."
Kathy Rose-Mockry, program director of the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, said the February Sisters Association was known for presenting programs that are well-conceived and implemented and are relevant for both male and female students.
so far this month the group has organized a concert at the Kansas Union, featuring the band "The Rosie's," as well as a student production of "The Vagina Monologues." The association also has scheduled two free speakers: Roxanne Dunbar Ortiz, a women liberation activist who was active in the 1970s, and Nomy Lamm, an activist against women's "fat phobias," who will speak on Monday.
Rose-Mockry said. "It's such a common experience for college women because all students will encounter women in their lives who struggle with these issues."

Housecleaning reveals stash of poet's papers
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The renowned book editor and publisher who edited many of Thomas Merton's works donated nearly $1 million worth
of the late poet's papers to the Thomas Merton Center at Bellarmine University.
Robert Giroux said he was sorting through his New Jersey apartment last year when he discovered more than 3,000 pages of documents from the Roman Catholic monk and poet who died in 1968.
"I just knew that's Merton's stuff and forgot what it was."
said Giroux, a college friend of Merton's from Columbia University who edited many of his books.
The documents donated by Giroux include drafts or proofs of five books, an unpublished book manuscript, letters between Merton and Giroux, and a 1940 rejection slip for an early novel.
