ways to do that

School newspaper cut
off for offensive cartoon
SOUTH KINGSTOWN, R.l. -
A cartoon about affirmative
action In the University of
Rhode Island student newspa
per has exposed racial tensions
at the school and led to
protests and a cutoff of the
paper’s funding.
Since the cartoon ran last
week, about a dozen black stu
dents calling themselves
Brothers United for Action
have demanded The Oood 5
Cent Cigar be shut down.
The group marched in mili
tary formation last Friday with
200 others behind them to the
newspaper's office, where they
yelled at editors and threw
newspapers on the ground.
The cartoon, about the dis
mantling of affirmative action
at the University of Texas Law
School, shows a white professor
greeting a black man entering
his classroom.
"If you’re the Janitor, please
wait until after class to empty
the trash,” the professor says.
"If you're one of our minority
students, welcome!"
The newspaper's editors,
who are white, said they ran
the cartoon to express disgust
with the attack on affirmative
action In Texas. A federal judge
in 1996 ruled that the law
school's system was unconsti
tutional. But black students
said the cartoon Is Just the lat
est In a string of racial insults
at the university, which has
about 9,900 undergraduates. 3.7
percent of them black.

Students propose protection for river
By KATIE MITCHELL
The Red * Black
Preserving the state's river
basins and re-writing the law
books are all in a day’s homework
for one University course.
The nine law and ecology stu
dents in Laurie Fowler's interdis
ciplinary environmental bourse
finish the class by writing pro
posals for legislation and ordi
nances protecting the Etowah
watershed.
The proposals are more than
academic — they're sent to coun
ty and state legislatures for con
sideration.
Last spring, the Georgia
General Assembly passed legisla
tion drafted by students in the
course. The legislation allows
landowners to protect their agri
cultural land by encouraging
development elsewhere.
This fall, the Cherokee County
Commission also passed an ordi
nance written by students outlin
ing ways to develop ecologically
friendly subdivisions.
“Their work has generated a
tremendous amount of Interest
and excitement,” said Fowler, the
director of public service and
outreach at the Institute of
Ecology and an adjunct professor
at the School of Law.
Fowler said students have
found ways to bring together the
people their work affects —
including landowners and county
officials.
“Students help different stake
holders get together to help pro
tect the river,” Fowler said.
“Traditionally, the counties
haven't had to work together.
And also, (the students) research
and draft policies for the counties
to use to protect the river."
The counties have been appre
ciative of the students’ work, said
Ken Patton, manager of the
Cherokee County Planning and
Zoning Department.
“Their work has been invalu
able to Cherokee County,” Patton
said. "There are three develop
ments in the design phase based
on regulations (proposed by stu
dents) which were unanimously
accepted.”
Fowler said that though the
area affected is relatively small —
less than 5,000-square kilome
ters — the Etowah River is home
to about 50 species of mussels
and at least 82 species of ffsh.
three of which are protected by
federal law.
The existence of endangered
species and the threat of water
pollution and development make
the river of particular concern,
Fowler said.
The greatest concern is how to
minimize the effects of Atlanta's
rapid growth, Fowler said.
“There's a lot to protect and a lot
to be protected from,” she said.
Students in the class said the
projects have been a tremendous
learning experience
“So many of the classes wi
take in law school are theoreti
cal," said Juba Hill, a graduati
student studying general lav
from Athens.
"It's nice (that this onei has i
practical effect," Hill said.
