Getting busy

There is a lot of stuff going on this week, so here is a quick break-down of what is happening.

Tuesday:

7:00pm 259 Cartwright Progressives Meeting: There is a lot coming up this week and next, so stop by to hear what's up or bring some new ideas to the meeting. We will be joined by State Assembly candidate James Kinsman for the beginning of the meeting.

Wednesday:

All day in the Ward Room (Cartwright) Fair Trade Fair:

10,000 villages has sent thousands of dollars worth of fair trade products to be sold at UW-L. This is a great opportunity to put our $ where our mouths are. We have promoted fair trade from the human rights, environmental, and economical perspectives over the last few years. This would be an easy chance to pick up holiday gifts that actually improved the world instead of lining the pockets mega-corporations

6:00 pm 339 Cartwright: Student Senate
The Environmental Council introduced a resolution that would place two members of the Environmental Council on the committee which will oversee the construction of UW-L's new academic building. If we want to have a chance at making this building environmentally sound, we need to be involved at every level. Please come and make your voice heard. Showing up at Senate meetings is extremely effective.

7:00 pm Port o' Call: Progressive Movie Night< /DIV>
Wall-Mart the High Cost of Low Prices will be shown. A discussion will follow about the application of pragmatic principals in our daily consumption. This movie is very well produced and is spreading like wildfire across the country. Check it out and find out why Wall-Mart is scared.

Thursday:

All day Ward Room (Cartwright) Fair Trade Fair Continues...

4:00 pm 257 Cartwright: Environmental Council meeting
The Campus Planner and the Chief Financial adviser for UW-L will be at the EC meeting to talk about the new Academic building. We need to show them that EC and the progressives are strong in order to put pressure on them to make the building as environmentally friendly as possible.

Friday:
Iraq War Referendum Petition:
Signatures must be turned in order to place this question on the April ballot "Should the United States begin an immediate withdrawal of its troops from Iraq starting with the National Guard and Reserves?" Make sure petitions are turned into Guy Wolf's office in the Multi-cultural Student Services lounge. We need to make sure we reach our goals... we're close but not there yet... keep collecting!

11:00 am SOA Protest / trip to Georgia
Students from UW-L and Viterbo will be heading down to Fort Benning Georgia to protest the School of Americas which trains Latin American militants in suppression tactics including torture, assassination, and other inhumane practices meant to suppress indigenous populist movements. THERE ARE STILL A FEW SEATS AVAILABLE FOR THE BUS. Contact Andrew Gilbert for details (1- 612 310-1340)
