Students call for women's center

CHAMPAIGN – With the help of a table, a microwave and a few books, the entrance to a University of Illinois administration building was transformed temporarily into a women's center on Wednesday.

Male and female students rallied outside the Swanlund Building, home to the offices of several university administrators, to call attention to the need for a place that could house offices, resources and programming about gender issues.
