The Clothesline Project is a national event that uses T-shirts as a medium for women to say visually what they may not be able to say verbally. "Wnmpn wVin are virtima nf vinlonr?n am ofien walking around with a great deal of pain or with a great deal of triumph as a result of the healing process," said Lisette Volz, graduate intern with the Health and Wellness Center.

Serving the Carolina Cor) University of Soi thesline ] The Clothesline Project was started in Hyannis, Mass., in 1990 by a small group of women who wanted to make a statement about domestic abuse. Inspired by the AIDS quilt, they came up with the idea of hanging shirts on clotheslines. According to Carol Chichetto, chair of the project's national steering committee, the clothesline was chosen because women used to share information while they hung out their wash. "The concept was simple," she said. "Let each woman tell her own story, in her own unique way, and hang it out for all to see. It was and is a way of airing society's dirty laundry." The project has been a success. Nationally, there are more then 300 communities participating. Since 1990, there have been erts play Nintendo as they wait for their I to be the first in line to get tickets.

A great number of organizations are not e igible for funding, but they still put on pn grams that can be beneficial to a large po tion of the student body. In the past, thos organizations would probably have had to rais all of the funding on their own, even for thos projects that would benefit the entire unive sity.
