They are planning another fundraiser next month Brother Peace Plans First Activities Human Genome Researchers to Gather at WCU in April OPI J. Craig Venter, the molecular biologist whose effort to decipher the human genetic code has pitted him against a similar project funded by the U.S. government, will be the keynote speaker at the Chancellor's Science Symposium at Western Carolina University this spring. Venter, subject of a profile ar ticle in Time magazine's January 11 special report "The Future of Medicine," will be at Western on April 16 to discuss his corporate- financed attempt to map the entire human genome — the nearly 100,000 genes, made up of some 3 billion microscopic pieces of information, thought to exist in human DNA. Venter is director of The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR), which he founded in 1992. He teamed up in May 1998 with the Perkin-Elmer Corp., a biotechnology systems company whose chief executive officer is WCU alumnus Tony L. White, to create Celera Genomics Corp. The company is at the forefront in the race to map the human genome, a race with see 'Genome' page 4 Group to Focus on Eliminating Violence by Seth R. Sams News Editor BrotherPeace, an organization devoted to helping men put a stop to men's violence against women, held their second meeting last week to plan their first event to be held during Women's History Month in March. The organization's first activity, on March 14, includes a panel of speakers on violence towards women, along with individual group discussions concerning the issue. The organization is directed primarily by Robert Caruso, the vice-chancellor of student affairs, and Dr. John Ritchie, the director of counseling and psychological services. Caruso worked with a BrotherPeace organization while at Western Illinois University, which at the time was part of a larger, national organization. However, WCU's BrotherPeace is independent, but that doesn't have any bearing on it's drive to reach it's goal. "I would like to see activities throughout the year sponsored by men," Caruso said, while commenting on where he'd like to see BrotherPeace go in the future. At the first meeting, objectives were established and various material passed out to those in attendance, which included a sheet with various ways to help stop violence against women. The first recommendation on the list is for men to believe women when they say no, and not to "confuse friendliness with sexual invitation." The list also includes references to avoiding rape jokes and sexist language, communicating with women about their concerns on safety, and finding nonviolent ways to express anger. The list also includes respecting "women's effort to 'take back the night,'" referring to everyone's rights to feel safe in streets, stores and other public places. BrotherPeace will hold its next meeting on Tuesday, March 2, at 5:30 p.m. in the Dogwood Room at the University Center. Editor's Note: Next week's Western Carolinian will include an article on other planned activities during Women's History Month. *
