Page 3 WESTERN CAROLINIAN April 24 - May 1, 2009 NEWS Tobacco-rich North Carolina| Invisible Children visit WCU as part of to take action Reaches for Partial Smoking Ban | world tour: Students inspired By Tiffany Barnwell News Editor North Carolina, one of the nations largest tobacco growing states, supports legislation that would prohibit secondhand smoke from restaurants and businesses where minors _ are present, and also give bars the choice to permit patrons to smoke. As a non smoker, I dont care. This legislation doesnt affect me and since Im already exposed to second hand smoke, its not like this ban will clear my lungs, says Hayley Bonvillain, a junior and a Parks and Recreation major. The N.C. house voted 72-45 recently on the legislation, which was then sent to the North Carolina Senate, where many top leaders expectthe partial smoking bantopass. The House restricted the smoking bans reach from a version that would have prohibited smoking in businesses that employ or serve anyone under the age 18, but not to most businesses that post signs at the doorway that smoking is allowed. Fraternal and veterans clubs would be free from the smoking ban. The legislation calls for a moderately mild consequence for violators. With local governments authority heightened, it is possible to see a ban of open-air smoking in city parks, or a fine up to $50, which would be enforced by a public health officer. Businesses are also susceptible to fines up to $200, after their third failure to stop smokers. By Tiffany Barnwell News Editor Representatives from Invisible Children Inc. arrived at WCU as part of their world tour on April 13 to the UCs theatre at 2pm. Invisible Children Inc. came into existence in the spring of 2003, due to three young filmmakers going to Africa in search ofa story. Upon their quest, they discovered tragedyin which children of northern Uganda are both the weapon and victim. Go, the documentary shown at the event, portrays how different high schoolers from all over the nation raise money to fund Invisible Childrens Schools for Schools program. With money raised aimed at funding specific schools in Uganda, winning representatives receive a chance to see first hand the affects of civil war. Students who viewed the documentary at WCU were inspired by the students actions. Its so amazing that todays youth can give so much of themselves to the children of Uganda. We should all be very thankful to live so abundantly; endless opportunity and free of fear, expresses Whitney Benfield, a junior majoring in Nursing. The trips mission is to have the twelve winners experience the impact of Schools for Schools on a personal note. Winners receive great expectations and are expected to do all that they possibly can. Go depicts the harsh reality of camp life in Uganda by giving the viewer an intimate touch with camp lifestyle. While the space: is limited and sanitation terrible, winners also witness the effects of HIV positive individuals and war. Andrew Bowen, a freshman and undecided major, said that When I saw Go, it really inspired me to do things for all of humanity.

The French news agency, Agence France-Presse, has quoted North Koreas foreign ministry as stating, There is no need for the six-party [nuclear disarmament] talks any more...We will never again take part in such talks and will not be bound by any agreement reached at the talks. Tension has been escalating between North Korea and the US and Japan regarding North Koreas rocket launching, which was first announced in February and occurred on April 5. North Korea claims to have launched commercial satellites, though the US and Japan contends the launch was a test of a long-range nuclear missile. North Korea withdrew from the six-nation disarmament talks with the US, China, Japan, South Korea and Russia following the censure of North Koreas April 5 rocket launching by the United Nations Security Council on April 13. The UN council unanimously agreed that the launch violated a 2006 resolution banning all missile tests by North Korea and announced that even | can make a difference in the world.

However, North Korea has called the UNs stance a double standard and has plans to bolster a nuclear deterrent for self-defense, [and] guarantee for the protection of the countrys sovereignty, according to the communist countrys ruling- party newspaper, Rodong Sinmun. North Korea also warned South Korea against joining the Proliferation Security Initiative, a US-led plan to decrease the trade of weapons of mass destruction. Officials in the North Korean military announced that South Koreas joining of the PSI would be viewed as a declaration of war. The militarys spokesman also made statements reminding the South Korean government of the close proximity of Seoul, the South Korean capital, to the North Korean border, suggesting the citys vulnerability to a North Korean attack. The United Nations has expressed optimism that the situation will be resolved through negotiation. The head of the UNs International Atomic Energy Agency, Mohamed ElBaradei, has stated that he North Korea Withdraws from Arms Talks after UN Censure believes the six-nation disarmament talks will be ee short and that the six party talks will _ be again resumed, and hopefully the IAEA will be able to go back and do, not just partial inspection, but full inspection in [North Korea], ElBaradei said in a statement to the Associated Press.

International media right groups have been calling for the release of the journalists, and the State Department has stated _ that diplomatic efforts are underway. Swedish officials, who remain neutral in the current conflict between the US and North Korea, have been allowed to visit the journalists on behalf of the US. _ Since March 30, North Korea has also been holding a South Korean citizen and worker at an inter- Korean industrial complex, on the charge of denouncing the political system of North Korea. (Reports from the Associated Press were used in this story.) Students Represent WCU at NCUR By Carrie Eidson WC Intern From April 16 to April 18, a record number of WCU students attended the National Conference of Undergrad Research. Forty-eight student projects were accepted to the annual conference, held this year in La Crosse, Wisconsin. The students endured a seventeen hour-long bus ride to reach the conference. According to Dr. Brian Railsback, dean of the Honors College, who escorted the students on their trip, the students maintained a positive attitude despite their grueling journey. The bus ride was tough, said Railsback. Ive been doing this on and off since 1996, but in terms of positive attitude and behavior, this was the best group Ive taken. No one complained. Once in Wisconsin, students went on trips to downtown La Crosse to take a tour of its historic buildings and what Railsback called old Mississippi river culture. Students presented their projects at the conference by reading their papers or preparing a poster display. Three WCU students, Rebecca Frank, Nicholas Gatttis, and Cayli Meizel, wrote papers discussing issues in music and presented on a panel moderated by the chancellor of the California Institute of Technology (Cal Tech). After the panel, the chancellor of Cal Tech came up to me and said You must all be very proud of these students, said Railsback.. He was very impressed and felt he had learned something about WCU. It was a very positive experience and one of the highlights of the trip for me, : Railsback noted that all the students expressed a _ positive reaction to their experience at the conference and that all represented WCU very well. srough ap on, if ou like, bu Lope | that that will be
