Give us a week, we’ll take off the guilt

Unless you have a gift for the absurd,you would be hard pressed to dream up a campus "Awareness Week" that hasn't already been soberly promulgated somewhere. Every week on a college campus is an opportunity to commemorate somebody's pet cause. What are these weeks for? As the name and any promotion will tell you, they are to "promote awareness" of the issue named in the week. Usually that's it -- just the enthymematic "to promote awareness" of the issue.
