August softball field vandalism still haunts team | 02/16/08 |
The Seton Hill University (SHU) women’s softball team started off their year on a depressing note. The weekend before school started in August, the team’s wooden benches were stolen from their dugouts and thrown over the hill by the railroad tracks, which broke them into pieces.

The Guerrilla Girls: bringing fake fur and feminism to SHU | 12/03/07 |
In 1985 a group of women artists began picketing the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York. The MoMA had professed to be the definitive survey of contemporary painting and sculpture, and only 13 of the 169 artists featured were women. But no one gave their demonstration much consideration - until they decided to throw on some “Queen Kong” masks and call themselves the “Guerrilla Girls”.
Since then they have written several books, developed over 100 posters and billboards, and traveled to places like China, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Spain, and more, to hold rallies and bring recognition and respect to women artists.
And on November 28, “Frida Kahlo,” one of the founders of the Guerrilla Girls, came to speak at Seton Hill University. |
