Page 5 Western Carolinian CAMPUS LIFE April 17, 2007 Woodland area across from the Moore building, beisde the Graduate dorm. Our current goals: To reclaim the Woodland for all students and surrounding citizens to use aS a venue; to increase awareness of the Green Party and its radical alternatives to the Democrat and Republi- can dogmas; better food on campus for students, staff and faculty; a more open dialog on campus concerning all as- pects of society for students; crosswalks on Old Cullowhee Road and Speedwell; better building practices by the Uni- versity (currently there is no use of passive nor active so- lar power, wind power, updraft cooling ability, geo-thermal heati collection, gray water use for flush- ing toilets, etc.; University provided transportation into and out of Sylva, es- pecially on Thursday, Friday and Sat- urday nights until 2:30am; better recy- cling practices (we have been working with the EcoCats); more areas to relax Images Photographed by: Sarah Bonner in the ae tanel of the mountains: on cam- at WCU with the Greens. We are organizing a Moses Creek clean up and camp-out on Sat- urday April 26th. We will carpool out to Moses Creek, which is right down Green History: The Green Party of the United States is a federation of state Green Parties. The U.S.G.P. was formed in 2001 to re-focus the older Associa- tion of Green Parties (1996-2001). The initial goals of the party were to focus on helping State parties to grow and - to promote and aid in the forming of Green Parties in all 50 states. The pri- mary goal is still State party growth. The most recent data (May 2005) show that in 20 states and the District of Columbia the Green Party has a total of 304,796 registered mem- bers. Currently there are only 15 States with FULL ballot access for the Greens. The State with the most is California at 157,565, followed by New York at 37,874. Between 2000 and 2002 Green party membership rose 27%; 1992 data showed 48% voters reg. Dem., 34% reg. Republicans; 2007 data shows 42% and 33% respectively (ballotac- cess.org). While other political parties are losing members, the Greens are the only ones gaining. Include the incred- ible number of people registering to vote as independents and the number of citizens who are fed up with the two-in- one-party system (two sides of the same coin, etc.), this is the greatest support I have ever seen for a viable alternative party. Qnly Democrats and Republi- cans currently have permanent ballot access in North Carolina. In fact, N.C. has the THIRD MOST RESTRICTIVE ballot access laws in the Country. Cur- rently, 69,734 signatures are required prior to the election for any other party to have its candidate on the ballot. This is important for a few reasons: 1) How can you have taxation without repre- sentation? Restrictive ballot access is tantamount to this. 2) Without ballot access in all 50 states, how can an alter- native partys candidate actually affect change on the Federal level? 3) If only some viable parties are granted ballot access, is this truly democratic? sont are aie to come out and be a part of making positive progressions HWY 107 and camp-out over Satur- and recycling down there. The Eco- Cats are participating with us on this. Our meetings are not set at this time. We work to accommodate everyones changing schedule. The best course is to send us an email. (cont. from pg. 1) place on campus like this that is not a sporting field), a beautiful stone retain- ing wall and a quaint bridge going from lawn to stage, there is ample room for varied uses. Though ADA Coordinator for Western, Lance Alexis, visited the Woodland with us, and stated that it is ADA compliant, the administration persists to refute this. We need student help in restoring this green space. Par- ticularly we need help from individuals with disabilities. We need to establish that the Woodland offers reasonable visual and audible access and an en- joyable atmosphere for all. If anyone is interested please contact the WCU Greens at wcugreens@datadrivende- sign.net. We participate in the Tuck cleanups. Our greatest success, and our most re- cent, is the pressure we put on Aramark, our food supplier. The Greens were set- ting up an onsite protest at the cafeteria in order to show that the students desire more organic food choices, more vege- tarian and vegan options, as well as less fatty and less sugary enhanced menu items. Just talking about this made its way to the representative for Aramark for WCU, and last I heard we are going to have organic foods offered for the FIRST time EVER here, and one more consistent vegetarian option in the din- ing hall! GO, go WCU Greens! We showed, as our last event last se- mester, The Corporation in the UC Theater and provided organic and local finger foods during intermission. : We also participated in the first ever three party debate at WCU with the Dems and Repubs last semester. Many students approached us after that debate saying that they agreed with a lot we said and were so happy to finally here people say things that neither the . nor Rear talking about.) We:also: orchestrated a petition to pro- tect Teshekpuk, which is an extremely vast preserve in Alaska. We collected over 400 signatures to protect that area from the Bush administrations mis- guided attempts to keep the country de- pendent on oil. + Please eemeanbet you neod to lise the sale meals and/or declining balance dollars on your meal plan before the end of the Spring @ MEAL PLANS WILL NOT CARRY FORWARD 10 SUMMER OR FALL SE * You may check your meal plan balance at any dining location check-out, or on-line at the GAT CARD website under CURRENT STUDENTS.
