Pasley Asst. News Editor The SGA budget hearings for student organizations will be held March 27-31, and this year's process will be slightly different from that of recent years. Some aspects of the process from which SGA-approved organizations receive their funding for the next academic year have been changed because of past problems with the system.

This year's paperwork, which must be turned in by 5pm on March 20, includes questions mester. This caused difficulties for the SGA and for other organizations that were awaiting funding.

"In the past, it's always been traditional— this club has always gotten some amount of money, so they will always get it," said Jody Pipe, SGA's chief of finance. "I -Jody Pipe, SGA Chief of Finance Some of the new aspects of the process are found in the paperwork that the clubs are re- have been received from outside sources. "We wanted them to tell us that," said Pipe. "That way we're not-I don't want to say wasting money-but then there leaves a little bit more money for other clubs." The deadline to turn in the forms is being very strictly enforced this year, said Pipe. "It has to be in at 5, not 5:01." Another key change in the process is the amount of time the Finance Committee will spend deliberating the amounts of money that each organization will be given before the budget is submitted to the Senate for approval on April 10. "It's usually done the next Senate meeting after budget hearings, but we've decided to wait a week to a week and a half so that" we can make sure that we allot the right things," said Pipe. Celebrating the Struggle for Women's Equality by Daniel Menestres Staff Writer Women's History Month celebrates the history and achievements of women and their contributions to the world. There have been many women who have played important roles in the struggle for gender equality throughout the years. Whether it was in the abolitionist movement or for the right to vote, their historical contributions cannot be ignored. In 1978, the Education Task Force of the Sonoma County (California) Commission on the Status of Women initiated what was a Women's History Week. They chose the week of March 8 to make International Women's Day the focal point of the observance. In 1981, Senator Orrin Hatch and Representative Barbara Mikulski co-sponsored the first Joint Congressional Resolution on the commemoration of Women's History Month. However, it was not until 1987 when the month of March was officially declared to be National Women's History Month. The Seneca Falls Convention met in New York on July 19-20, 1848. It was here that Elizabeth Cady Stanton read the Declaration of Sentiments to the assembly. This document was based on the Declaration of Independence, and it argued that women and men should be treated equally. Many famous Americans attended this convention, including abolitionist Frederick Douglass, an early supporter of women's suffrage. Although the declaration called for women's right to vote, it would be 72 years before this goal was finally reached, with the passage of the 19th Amendment. Even though the right to vote was not an option at this time, the convention was successful. "They got the issue of women's rights on the table and started the debate," said Gael Graham, Associate Professor of History. "The vote was not the focal point at all, suffrage they added at the last minute. This became more important after the Civil War when black men were given the right to vote." Stanton met Lucretia Mott at the World Anti-Slavery Convention in London in 1840. It was here that women were required to sit behind the curtain, segregated from the men. Both women agreed that they must do something to guarantee basic civil rights for women. Mott, a Quaker, was angered at the brutality and injustices against enslaved people and by the conditions and injustices in women's lives at the time. She was also an active abolitionist who opened her home to escaped slaves. Susan B. Anthony and Stanton were the founders of the women's suffrage movement. During the late 19th century, the right to vote became a major issue in women's rights. "It became a mass movement, more of them were becoming educated and there was a huge reform movement," Graham said. "Women were very organized and they came to believe they needed the vote." In 1918, President Woodrow Wilson addressed the United States Senate and argued for women's suffrage at the end of World War I. The Senate passed this Amendment the following year, written by Susan B. Anthony and without a word having been changed. Soon after, the required 36 states then ratified this amendment. The Equal Rights Amendment, written by Alice Paul (the founder of both the National and World Woman's Party) in 1921, was introduced to Congress in 1923. The ERA was introduced to every session of Congress until it was finally passed in 1972. The seven-year time limit in the ERA's proposing clause was extended by Congress to June 30, 1982. However, at this deadline, the ERA had only been ratified by 35 states, three short of the 38 required to pass this Amendment. Since 1982, it has been reintroduced into every WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH' Continued on page 2 Winter Wonderland photo by Jeffrey Sykes Freshman Danielle Davis and junior Amber Hardison bask in the sunshine that has inundated Cullowhee recently.
