EARTH
From page 1
“We haven’t had any logjams,”
she said. “We haven’t had anybody
look down their noses at us.”
Reddick said Mayor Dwain
Chambers signed a resolution sup
porting Earth Day and that Athens
approved all permits related to the
celebration.
She also said University Presi
dent Charles Knapp has agreed to
let organizers stage Earth Day
events on the North Campus lawn.
According to the committee,
other possible events include music
specials, educational acts and con
sumer boycotts.
Now in charge of soliciting sup
port for Earth Day from public fig
ures, Reddick first took part in a
small Earth Day celebration in the
1970s as a college student.
But as Earth Day has grown
over the years, so has its price tag.
“We do have to find funds,” she
said. “There’s no getting around
the bottom line.”
To raise money, the Earth Day
committee plans to sponsor an art
auction, and supporters are selling
t-shirts designed by local illus
trator Jim Stacy.
The Earth Day committee has
also set up a fund-raising drive to
pay for the events, and a group of
students has been hired to film a
television commercial.
An Earth Day schedule
Some of the events already scheduled for Earth Day:
• A tree-planting campaign sponsored by the landscape architecture
and environmental health science clubs. EHSC President Dale Plemmons
said the groups will plant a few hundred trees around Athens. That’s part
of an overall effort to plant 10,000 trees in Northeast Georgia and a bil
lion trees worldwide.
• The distribution of an Earth Day lesson plan to Northeast Georgia
schools. The plan is designed to teach students about preserving the envi
ronment. Essay and poster contests will also be sponsored in the schools.
• Movie screenings of films with environmental themes.
• A conference April 19 that may include U.S. Sen. Wyche Fowler (D-
Ga.) and a former head of the Environmental Protection Agency.
• The airing of a one-hour special on WNGM, Channel 34, about local
environmental problems.
• Earth Day art exhibits and a banner contest.
• A project where residents of a senior citizens’ home sew together in
dividual squares that will be sewn together to form a huge Earth Day
quilt.
According to the committee, other possible events include music spe
cials, educational acts and consumer boycotts.

Black groups keeping the flame
By ANGELA HORNSBY
Contributing Writer
Black history will continue to be
noted for activists and leaders such
as Stokeley Carmichael, Martin
Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, South
Africa’s Nelson Mandela and civil
rights heroine Rosa Parks.
However, black organizations
promoting equality and positive so
cial change are still the norm
across the country as well as
within the University system.
Currently there are 20 black stu
dent organizations registered on
campus, according to the Minority
Services and Programs. Although
each organization differs in rela
tion to activities and opportunities,
their ultimate goal is the same: to
aid and support black students.
Some of these groups include:
• The Minority Assistants
Program: It was approximately
six years ago that this program
first appeared at the University.
Assistants produce three pro
grams each quarter focusing on
blacks and black society, according
to Jackie Richey, program coordi
nator.
• The Black Iaw Students
Association:
This group serves as a general
voice for minority issues and con
cerns,” said group president Linzie
Bogan.
Formed in the mid-1970s, the
campus organization offers minori
ties network opportunities with
black faculty members, study ses
sions and goodwill feelings shared
with other blacks. Yet, Bogan is
quick to say that the organization
remains "open to all students."
Santhia Curtis, vice-president of
BLSA, has gained much by the or
ganization
The Southern Regional Black
Law Students Convention last Feb
ruary gave her the opportunity to
meet and converse with law stu
dents from 24 schools in the South.
Working towards a Jurisdocto-
rate degree, Curtis sees the organi
zation as a basis for support,
especially during the first year of
graduate school in which one is
“initially scared.”
Curtis goes on to assert that
“whatever one’s skin color, people
need a support group.”
• The Journalism Associa-
Although each differs in
relation to activities
and opportunities, their
goal is the same: to aid
and support black
students.
tion for Minorities: JAM pro
vides an outlet for pre-journalism
and journalism minority students
to express needs and issues.
The organization is currently in
the process of becoming a local
chapter of the National Association
of Black Journalists.
•The Graduate and Profee*
sional Scholars: This organiza
tion offers both programs and
social activities.
