By Kyle Martinak Culture Reporter There is precious little space reserved in this issue of the Journal for what I think about "Schindler's List." I find myself up at night, wondering how my life will continue after seeing this film. Have you ever had to cover your eyes because of something in a movie?

Regrettably, I had no such comfort, as the events in this film were true, and I felt obligated to watch it despite my disgust, pain and real tears.
On October 11, 2006, a group of students, faculty and staff met with a common goal: start a Safe Zone program on Western's campus to provide and promote a safe environment for members of the GLBTQ community. Since then, Western's Safe Zone program has evolved, expanded and on Wednesday, April 30, the program celebrated its second birthday at its first official birthday party.
