Community Board
“Goes Pink”
In the midst
of planning
programs for the spring
semester,
your ECV
Community
Board accept-
ed and en-thusiastically
prepared for
the invitation
extended by
the UGA Res-idence Hall Association to this year’s
Mini Exec N Rec. The Mini Exec N
Rec is a smaller version of the annu-
al leadership conference held in the
Fall for all Community Coun-
cils/Boards. The day conference consists of developmental trainings
for council members and advisors as
well as allow the voicing of program
ideas and concerns as well as allow
them to assist one another in praise or identifying probable solutions.
This year’s theme was “RHA’s Great-
est Hits;” in which each prospective
Hall Council had to prepare a roll
call (video and/or live presentation),
banner, delegation theme, and spirit items. ECV chose the song, “You’re
the One that I Want” from the popu-
lar musical Grease. The ECV “Pink
Ladies” were not only dressed for the
part but coordinated an applaud-
receiving video and were one of the few councils to have their program
proposal accepted to be present at
the conference! The ladies even con-
vinced their advisor to dress up like
Danny Zuko (played by John Travol-ta); one of the main characters in
Grease! Check Page 2 for Exe N

VPAs Pack Out
Pizza Party!
With a veteran mindset, VPA’s Ra-
chel, Marissa, and Tristian have
grown accustomed to servicing a large crowd; especially when free
food is involved. However, on Febru-
ary 6th, when they combined two of
America’s favorites, pigskin (football)
and pizza, their normal 100 capacity
crowd seemed to have doubled, may-be even tripled! Nevertheless, they
were well prepared as they ordered a
plethora of pizzas. The VPAs
“thought outside the box” to diversify
their dinner with not only having the usual such as cheese, pepperoni,
meat lovers, and supreme, but they
included specialty pies such as mac-
aroni and cheese pizza, bbq pizza,
and even chicken alfredo pizza! They
didn’t stop there as they left resi-dent’s licking their fingers after sat-
isfying their sweet-tooth with soft
brownies, apple pizza, and cinnamon
rolls! The VPAs capped off the even-
ing with raffling off round two of the cleaning products giveaway in ob-
servance of their Community Clean
Week (February 1st - 6th). The VPAs
thank their fellow members of the
Community Board and VCA’s that
joined in to help make the program a success! Check Page 2 for the Piz-
za & Pigskin Picture Gallery!

For the month of March the Cultural Services and Awareness Committee will work with the East Cam-
pus Village community board and Village Programming Assistants to host a program about stereotypes.
The program, called “Focus behind the lens: Snapshooting Our Stereotype”, will feature a discus-sion about various stereotypes of race, religion, gender, etc. and include a Q&A session with the audi-
ence. This program will bring all “hot topic” stereotypes to the floor and will talk about the Who? What?
and Why? Behind every prejudice or misconception. Also, the program will present forms of communi-
cation that can be utilized with others to talk about difference or diversity in a beneficial manner so
participants may leave with broadened minds.
Besides programming, March is Women’s History Month. Many
on campus organizations will feature programs during the entire month concerning women’s history in the United States and
abroad. One of these programs will feature Chief Justice of the
Georgia Supreme Court, Carol Hunstein. The lecture given by
Hunstein, titled “Edith House Lecture”, will be held on March 9th
in the Hirsch Hall at 3:30pm. Check out the Women’s Studies
Department website for more programs during Women’s History Month!

The Community Liaisons would like to thank everyone who came
out to S.E.Xopics Friday February 18, 2011. We learned valuable information on dating and relationships such as; healthy dating
tips, STI statistics, and facts and common misconceptions about
sex. Our VCA staff prepared a presentation for the group that dis-
cussed information on sex and dating that pertained specifically to
college students. We also played a fun and enlightening game
called Sexversations, which allowed the group to discuss their opinions and experiences. It gave everyone an opportunity to ac-
quire some new friendships and make connections with each other
on a more intimate level. If you missed SEXopics, the community
Liaisons will be hosting some more programs in the future.
Tentative Program: ECV Carnival; The carnival will include board
games, caricatures, moon walks, food and fun.

Here are the TOP Spring Break Destinations for college stu-
dents
Where will you be?
Miami Beach, Florida: Florida’s reputation as the King of
spring break still holds strong as one of the east-coast’s hottest spring break 2011 destinations. White-sand beaches that
stretch on for miles, sunshine and ever-warm waters have
made Florida a student favorite for Spring Break go-ers. The
temperature is always in the 80s and a rainy day usually
means a half hour max of drizzle. The parties run all day and night. And you are never too far from loud
music and good food and drinks.
Key West, Florida: This island-town gone-wild feels more like the Caribbean than Florida. Its tropical
weather, friendly locals and unique heritage have made it a fan-favorite for Spring Break 2011.
Panama City, Florida: This golden-white beach haven is quickly replacing Daytona Beach as the top Spring Break destination in Florida.
New York City, New York: What’s spring break without a dash over to the bustling Big Apple. Home to
world-class shopping, entertainment and nightlife that’s sure to make your head spin, the city that never
sleeps still knows how to get down.
No matter what destination you choose for Spring Break 2011, Staff Morale and the ECV
Staff hope that you have a fun and relaxing break. And most importantly be sure to stay
safe!
