The recently formed grass roots student organization, GIVE, allows WSU students to participate in local, national, and international philanthropic opportunities.
This student group started earlier this year by Erika Schoonmaker, a senior kinesiology major, and Ed Kent, director of philanthropy for Associated Students of Washington State University.
They are a fairly small group, with 10 to 15 members regularly attending their meetings, but they already run some very large events on campus. Earlier this semester GIVE participated in Drunk Driving Awareness Week. They organized the simulated car crash on campus, Schoonmaker said.
“We had to coordinate with the university, police and fire department to get it approved. It was a difficult process, but when it actually happened it was a very moving and a lot of people took it to heart,” Katie Peterson, a member of GIVE, said.
Next semester GIVE will be putting on an all campus fitness challenge to create scholarships for veterans on campus. The events will be held all around campus, and all students are encouraged to join in the activities, Schoonmaker said. The events will be geared toward the different branches of the military and will follow a military theme.
Schoonmaker said currently there are few scholarships for veterans, so money raised will be put towards a scholarship fund to help those who have served or are serving to continue their education and obtain degrees.
“This event won’t be until April. We’re still in the really early phases of planning, but very excited about this,” Schoonmaker said.
GIVE also plans to expand and work with other national and international philanthropic associations in the up coming semester. Schoonmkaer said they hope to have an event in the spring with TOMS Shoes, and organization that gives a pair of shoes to children in need every time a pair of shoes is bought.
GIVE draws its ideas for their events from their members.
“We don't emphasize any specific causes, just what catches our attention or we feel needs to be addressed,” Schoonmaker said.
“The thing I love about GIVE is that it really gives me the opportunity to have an impact on issues we feel passionate about. We have a big say in what we get involved in and every meeting is basically a brainstorming session,” Peterson said.
Members say, the unique quality that really sets apart this group from others on campus, allowing students to take control and make a difference within their community and in a larger global sense.
“There are so many issues out there and GIVE is just one way that we can give back and try to make the world a bit more positive,” Schoonmaker said.
GIVE also works closely with the Center for Civic Engagement. Their mission is to promote civic responsibility. Together they have put on events such as the Rake Run, where they went to elderly people’s houses and raked leaves for them.
“It’s been a great opportunity to get together with others who also want to give back to the community,” member of GIVE, Katie Derrig said.
GIVE meets every Thursday at 5:30 in CUE 319. Meetings are open to anyone.

Budget deficits monopolies the conversation on Tuesday evening, when elected officials from Legislative District 9 spoke in Honors Hall at Washington State University.
The Thomas S. Foley Institute at WSU hosted the opportunity for students and community members to meet their representatives.
District 9 Sen. Mark Schoesler as well as Reps. Susan Fagan and Joe Schmick took time to explain the economic situation and answer questions for an audience of about 40.
The most senior of them, Schoesler, has been a part of Washington State legislation since1992.
Schoesler explained the history of economic changes over the years and how we got to the defect we are now.
“After the 2001 dot-com bubble burst they used short term fixes,” Schoesler said.
The state is in a difficult situation when it comes to the budget.
“When there is 10 percent unemployed, it’s hard because spending goes down and use of state benefits increases,” Schoesler said.
With the state spending more money than it has in the past, the budget shortfall is only growing at this point.
At the end of last session, the legislature faced a $9 million deficit, Schoesler said.
Schmick explained that Washington State was the only state that increased Labor & Industries’ worker compensation. Due to this many companies, such as Boeing Co., chose to move out of the state.
“That might not sound like a lot, but the employees and families all move causing a larger affect,” Schmick said.
Regulating state spending on health care for the already partly insured children is one budget cut Schoesler proposed in order to reduce the deficit.
Audience member, Dorothy Swanson, democrat, does not agree with Schmick about reducing workers’ compensation.
“The money from workers comp. is being spent on everyday expenditures and being put back into the community and those local businesses,” Swanson said.
Many others attending the meeting voiced concerns on how exactly they plan to balance the budget and at what cost to tax payers.
Schmick also proposed lessening the days allotted for workers composition for injuries in the work force. Washington’s average time loss for injuries is 260 days. He compared this to Oregon’s average of 60 days, and the country’s average of 90.
All the representatives admitted was that it will be a challenging year and the state needs to reevaluate the economic plan.
After Gov. Chris Gregoire releases a proposed budget for the upcoming legislative session the representatives said they will know more about how the state might handle the budget shortfall.
Audience members expressed concern about topics including public safety and tuition increases.
Although there are proposed tuition increases, Washington State has one of the lowest rates of student debt at graduation, Schmick said.
“Tuition increase is a tragedy to students both in short and long term,” Fagan said.
Q) As a student my tuition has increased almost 30% since my freshman year. I’ve heard rumors about tuition rising up to 40% next year due to the budget cuts, what is your plan in that case?
Q) How do you expect society to progress and students to get jobs if you continue to raise tuition and make state schools not accessible to a majority of people.
Q) what do you plan to do to combat the deficit.
Schoesler, Mark (360) 786-7620
Fagan, Susan (360) 786-7942
Schmick, Joe (360) 786-7844
Audience member Dorothy Swanson (preferred not to give personal contact information)
I talked to many other audience members but did not use their interviews in my article

Lede: Through the doors of Holland-Terrell Library, into the Manuscripts, Archives and Special Collections, and then down a secret elevator you enter a world of history not many students know about.
That is where you will find, a well dressed, complete with a bow tie, Trevor J. Bond, intern head of manuscripts, archives, and special collections also known as MASC.
In total the MASC collection houses about 53,000 rare books and 17,000 linear feet of archives, a linear foot being one box full of documents, therefore one linear foot can hold up to hundreds of papers.
“Yeah it’s a lot of shelving and were just about full downstairs. The University just approved getting another 1800 linear feet and that should hold them over for about five years,” Bond said.
The university acquires its collection from various forms such as alumni, state grants to buy special collections, donations bases on our already existing collections, and other gifts to the university. The university receives about 100 linear feet a year in University Archives and an additional 200 linear feet a year in manuscripts, although they do not take everything they are offered.
The largest gift that is in the process right now of coming in is related to angling fishing.
“The collection holds about fifteen hundred books, and is the largest, most complete, and best collection of its kind, in the country,” Bond said.
This collection includes fragments of first book ever printed about fishing from 1476, The Compleat Angler from 1653, and multiple books from the 17th century.
With such a large collection of valuable manuscripts and documents the university goes to great lengths to protect them.
“They are in a secure, climate controlled environment, and all documents are in acid free folders. We have a complete conservation lab and an active conservationist who repairs, mends, cleans, and makes custom enclosures for the documents,” Bond said.
As society moves more toward a digital world archives and manuscripts are also moving in that direction. With programs such as Griffin, Summit and E-journals, which allow students to see documents digitally, not only at their university but others within the program has made digitalization of archives a key part in making them accessible to students.
“MASC is convenient because it has a wide variety of materials available to WSU students. The materials cover a wide range of time periods. The Woolf library was added to the collection which I think is interesting because Virginia Woolf was such an influential American writer,” Megan Kozarek, a senior was WSU said
With more traffic on the website than in the department digital technology to be very organized and has allowed archives to out into the public sphere more.
When Bond came to WSU there were four collection guides and with the help of technology they have expanded and organized the materials into more than 800 collection guides. With space as a restriction digitalization of works allows for a lot more material to be stored.
“I think that archives and special are going to continue to thrive and become more visible. Libraries are becoming more homogeneous, digitally; UW is the same as WSU as UI the subscriptions are the same so the only thing that will make then more unique will be what they have in house, and so what they inside will set them apart,” Bond said.
As technology advances we adapt and move forward. These archives are a pinnacle part of our history and now though technology can be preserved forever.

Head Line: Saving Families or Tearing Them Apart
“I don’t understand why you wouldn’t want my son’s parents to be married, ” Dan Savage said at debate held at Washington State University on Oct. 20.
Savage is a renowned journalist and voice for gay rights. He and his partner were married in Vancouver, B.C., and have one adopted son. Although they are married, their benefits as Washington state residents do not reflect that due to the current law.
Senate Bill 5688 is the “everything but marriage” law that explains the rights for couples registered under domestic partnership registry.
“SB5688 was already passed by the legislature (capitalize when referring to specific legislature) in 2009. Referendum 71 is in reaction to that bill,” said Ybarra, executive legislative assistant for Senator Sen. Edward B Murray.
Opponents of SB 5688 collected more than 135,000 around 137,689 signatures, which allows this already established law is up for debate and the bill to be put on hold and go to the people for a vote.
“We need to do what’s best for society as a whole, and looking at historical presidencies precedents, that does not include same-sex marriage,” William Stetson, vice president of WSU College Republicans, said at the debate on Oct 20.
“Priority should be given to heterosexual couples,” Stetson said. “ It becomes an issue of society when it marriage is institutionalized and made law.”
Although with Ref 71 marriages are not what is on the ballot
The some of rights Ref 71 are protecting are, labor and employment law, Pensions, including survivor benefits, and other public employee benefits.
Stetson also mentioned the many amendments republicans Republicans proposed, all of which were either withdrawn or failed to be added to the bill. “all of which were … failed to be added to the bill”
“Those amendments are not needed,(run-on sentence) they just stated what the bill was not, and we do not need amendments to say what the bill is not… such as the right of refusal to marry are still reserved so amendment 673 is not needed,” Savage said.
Another argument Conservatives argue propose is the amount of money this the law will be too expensive for the state. In From 2009 to 2011(,) it is expected to cost $606,039, and in from 2011 to 2013 to it will cost $1,856,871.
“These cost are mainly related to the estate tax and public-employee pension and survivorship benefits. And would not go into effect until 2012, in recognition of the state budget’s current downturn,” Ybarra said.
“A couple million is a drop in a bucket when it comes to government spending,” Savage said.

We tell stories in order to understand things. Journalists are there to take in those images and feelings and put them into words to describe them, filter them and perfect them. As a writer we have to shape and distribute what we feel is critical and vital to know. We work and promote one thing till the next big thing.

hurricane
Hurricane Katrina floods highways, buildings and homes. A sea of water cascades over miles of what was once a thriving metropolitan city, now just a tangle of flooded roads and broken paths. From an aerial view roof tops look like floating sticks in a swamp of muddy dangerously unclean water.
People flee the city with not much more than just the clothes on their back. Others sift through the wreckage looking though the rebel they used to call home.
Some hold on tightly to family and the few possessions they have left, while others still franticly search for them. People are resorting to use anything they can to protect themselves from the harsh environment, making shoes from cardboard and rubber bands, holding all their possessions in shopping carts, and helping a neighbor, because everyone has lost something.

Headline: Alcohol Violations prevalent both On and Off Campus
Police reported a sharp increase in the number of off-campus alcohol violations at the Pullman campus of Washington State University, according to the 2009 - 2010 Cougar Annual Security and Fire Report.
Last year, WSU recorded 836 alcohol violations off campus, a 42 percent increase from 2007, according to the report.
The report also showed alcohol was the most common infraction WSU’s student conduct deals with.
“A majority of the undergraduate student population is underage,” said Meghan L. Burton, an officer for the Office of Student Conduct.
The numbers of on-campus alcohol violations have stayed roughly the same within the past two years with 174 infractions in 2007 and 175 in 2008. This is mainly affected by the location and range of jurisdiction WSU police has. With bars and a majority of the part scene such as Greek row off-campus may explain why there is a higher number of alcohol violations off campus.
“Campus is the best way to say it,” said Mike J. Petlovany, a WSU police officer when explaining his range of authority.
“We can assist the Pullman Police Department, but we focus on university-owned property, apartments, dorms and contact a lot of people on routes from College Hill to the dorms on university property.”
A more accurate count of students who receive alcohol violations comes from WSU’s Office of Student Conduct, which handles city, campus and county infractions by students.
“There are definite times in the year where they are more common, peaking with good weather in the beginning of the year, springtime, and football games,” Burton said.
For WSU officers, student safety is their main concern. Officer Petlovany said he looks for individuals endangering themselves and others, or who are being carried or unable to stand. Petlovany also suggested walking in groups and staying with friends.
Kelsey Knutson, a sophomore, said she feels safer when she walks around College Hill with her friends.
“You kind of learn what the cops are looking for, so as long as you don’t bring attention to yourself or make a scene there’s no reason you should get a minor in possession (MIP),” she said.
After individuals receive an alcohol violation, student conduct officials look up the police records and contact the student. The Office of Student Conduct’s goal is to provide education, for students who receive infractions such a minor in possession (MIP) or minor in consumption (MIC).
“Our mission is purely educational, and our process is complexly separate from the legal aspect,” Burton said.
Burton also debunked a common myth about WSU’s three-strike rule. There is a myth among students that the university has a three strike rule where after three strikes you are expelled from the university although this is not true. Depending on the severity of the violation and number of occurrences, an individual can be sent to the University Conduct Board where retention or dismissal of said person or organization will be discussed.

head line: Alcohol Violations On and Off Campus
According to the 2009 - 2010 Cougar Annual Security and Fire Report there is a rise in alcohol violations reported by off-campus police at the Pullman campus of Washington State University.
The report states that in 2007, student conduct dealt with 588 cases of alcohol violations, while in 2008 the number rose to 836, a total increase of 248 students receiving disciplinary action due to an alcohol violation.
The report also showed alcohol was the most common infraction WSU’s student conduct deals with.
“A majority of the undergraduate student population is underage,” said Meghan L. Burton, an officer for the Office of Student Conduct.
The numbers of on campus alcohol violations have stayed roughly the same within the past two years with 174 infractions in 2007 and 175 in 2008. This is mainly affected by the location and range of jurisdiction WSU police has.
“Campus is the best way to say it,” said Mike J. Petlovany, a WSU police officer.
“We can assist the Pullman Police Department but we focus on university owned property, apartments, dorms and contact a lot of people on routes from College Hill to the dorms.”
A more accurate count of students who receive alcohol violations comes from the Office of Student Conduct at WSU because they see a wider range of authority.
“We see all cases from Pullman Police Department, WSU, and Whitman Country,” Burton said.
Although most alcohol violations happen at night, “There are definite times in the year where they are more common, peaking with good weather in the beginning of the year, springtime, and football games,” Burton said.
For WSU officers the student’s safety is their main concern. Officer Petlovany said he looks for individuals endangering themselves and others, being carried or unable to stand. Petlovany also suggested walking in groups and staying with people you know.
Kelsey Knutson, a sophomore, said she feels safer when she walks around College Hill with her friends. “You kind of learn what the cops are looking for, so as long as you don’t bring attention to yourself or make a scene there’s no reason you should get a MIP,” she said.
After individuals receive an alcohol violation student conduct look up the police records and contact the student. The Office of Student Conduct’s goal is to provide education, such as a class called “College Alcohol” that students who receive infractions such as an MIP or MIC are required to take.
“Our mission is purely educational and our process is complexly separate from the legal aspect,” Burton said.
Burton also debunked a common myth about WSU’s three strike rule. Depending on the severity of the violation and number of occurrences, an individual can be sent to the University Conduct Board where retention or dismissal of said person or organization will be discussed.

story proposal
Story one proposal
The Washington State University’s police department makes multiple arrests every year for alcohol violations. I plan to dig deeper into this subject and find if there is a trend in the data regarding police activity and environment of the school. I plan to interview not only WSU officers but also the records manager for the department. I will have to access public record in order to get up to date statistics.
Story two proposal
My other story will be regarding gun control on camps. What are the laws in place currently with students and officers carrying guns on campus? I will still be contacting the WSU police department and find out current standings on the subject. Looking though the police daily log I noticed they have to check in and out guns on a daily basis.
in both of these cases I will consult the wsu police department and Safety Guide.

Headline: Young Democrats Push for Voter Registration
Pullman, Wash.- Washington State University Young Democrats emphasized the importance of voter registration on campus due to an open seat on the city council, at a meeting Monday Sept. 21, 2009.
President of Young Democrats, Angel Ojede said that although this is not a national presidential election year it is important to do a change of address and vote in the upcoming Pullman City Council election.
This is a critical election because one of the positions being elected is the representative for Ward 3. Ward 3 encompasses all of Washington State University and much of College Hill, Pioneer Hill, and the surrounding areas where students live.
This is also a major election because unlike most elections for Pullman City Council, the Ward 3 incumbent has an opponent Dave Gibney.
“Making College Hill into the U-district is no longer on the table for discussion. Although there are still a lot of other initiatives that are on the table that involve improving relationships between the residents of Ward 3 and the City,” Gibney said at the Young Democrats meeting.
Young Democrats are pushing students to be active voters. They will have an information booth on Glenn Terrell Mall from Sept. 23 to Oct. 5, in order to promote voter registration.
Elizabeth Walker, vice president of Young Democrats said, “Last year during our voter registration we had 16 hundred people to either register or do a change of address.”
Although Walker does not expect as high of numbers, because it is not a presidential election year, they still hope to spread the word and help people register to vote.
Another issue Young Democrats are addressing is Referendum 71 most commonly know for regarding same sex and senior domestic partnership. Currently giving them the same rights as a married couple. This issue is now back on the table and being voted on once again. Young Democrats is working to educate and promote the voting yes on Referendum 71.
Information regarding Referendum 71 will also be available at the table for voter registration both they will be hosting.
At that table there will also be information about the president’s health care plan. Young Democrats will also have resources for individuals to contact their member of congress to voice their opinions.
Young Democrats’ 10 to 15 members and meet every Monday in the Center For Undergraduate Education, CUE, in room 407.
They work closely with local democrats and often and have great communication with the Whitman County Democrats.

gun ban
Mayor Gregory J. Heep banned firearms on all property owned by the city of Pulltown today.
“The city’s parks, community centers and events are safer without guns," Heep said in a press release. " We can’t wait for another incident, another innocent victim. We need to act, and we call on the Legislature to pass common-sense guns laws.”
The executive order prohibits firearms on all property owned by the city of Pulltown, including parks and community centers. Violation of this order results in a series of fines escalading in amount upon number of offense. This ordinance is in reaction to a incident last year where three people were injured in a shooting at Pulltown Center's Northwest Wheatberry festival.
Although some people are in full support of this new ordinance others feel strongly towards their right to bear arms.
“I have the right to protect myself, whether it’s at home or in public.” said Keri Calender, 29 a resident of West Pulltown.

Pulitzer remake
The worst Merrimack River tragedy in nearly a century left four boys ages 7 to 11 dead yesterday afternoon, after they fell though thin ice.
As seven boys finished their snack run from the Lawrence Boys & Girls Club to Hanson's Market yesterday afternoon, a sudden urge to slide around prompted 11-year-old William Rodriguez to dash for the serene expanse of river ice.
The ice was one to two inches thick where they ventured off the river bank. Four inches is considered the minimum to support more than one person, and river ice may not be safe even at that thickness because of currents and other factors
Dead are William Rodriguez, 11, of 292 Howard St.; Christopher Casado, 7, of 18 Jasper Court; Mackendy Constant, 8, of 7 Clinton St.; and Victor Baez, 9, 46 Bernard Ave.
Police said the four dead boys were trapped under the ice at least 10 minutes.
Surviving the incident were Francis Spraus, 9, 14 School St.; Christopher's brother Ivan Casado, 9, 18 Jasper Court; Jaycob Morales, 10, 4 Winslow Place.
Ivan and Francis were released from the hospital last night, and recalled the story from its quiet start.
"I threw the rope out once and it landed too far away, so I threw it out again, and again it was too far for them to reach," said Jacques Fournier, a retired maintenance worker.
"Willie said he wanted to go down to the river, to slide on the Ice," Ivan said. “We tried to stop him.”
Members of the state police, Lawrence Police and Merrimack Valley dive teams entered the 38-degree water and conducted an area search to be sure no one was left behind.
Equipped with ice rescue suits arrived and after a search of the area where the boys went in, found the four remaining boys under the ice, 25 feet from shore in 15-20 feet of water.
"My legs started to get stiff, and I had a freezing headache," Francis said. "I was hanging on to Christopher, but he started to slip under. I tried holding on to his hand, but it was like he let go."
Because of the steep embankment, rescuers were forced to use ladders to bring the children up off the river to the waiting ambulances.
It was a playful impulse that ended with his plunge through the ice, setting off an ill-fated rescue attempt that deteriorated into a mass of desperate children clinging to each other in 35-degree water.
The catastrophe left their families crushed and rescue workers shaken following an afternoon of fighting a river of broken ice, the steep mud-covered bank and driving rain

Gym Class Heroes Comes to Pullman
Summary:
With their unique blend of hip-hop, rock, soul and punk music, Gym Class Heroes will be taking the Washington State University campus by storm.
The award winning Gym Class Heroes will perform October 18th, in the Compton Union Building, also known as the CUB. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the concert will start at 8 p.m. All tickets are general admission. Tickets for this event will be $25 for W.S.U. students and $35 to the general public. Tickets went on sale Tuesday September 8th and will continue to be available until all 14 hundred tickets are sold out.
Annie Brooks, concerts programmer for the Student Entertainment Board, is a fan of Gym Class Heroes and expects the concert to be sold out therefore suggests students to getting tickets early.
Brooks said she got the idea for booking Gym Class Heroes one day when she was listening to music on her laptop and Cupid’s Chokehold came on, and thought they would deliver a great performance.
Renae L. Dahlquist, director of the Student Entertainment Board said, SEB paid about $38,000 to get Gym Class Heroes to Washington State University.
With singles such as "The Queen and I”, "Cupid's Chokehold", "Clothes Off!!" and "Cookie Jar," Gym Class Heroes have made their mark on the dance and club seen and this concert will be no exception.
Junior hospitality business management major, Michelle Wallace was one of the first to buy her ticket when they went on sale. Wallace said, “ I wanted to make sure I got a ticket, because last year when Three 6 Mafia came the tickets went really fast!”
Dahlquist said they have hired the same crowd management team they have at Beasley Performing Arts Coliseum. She also said features such as police and Emergency Medical Technician will be present. “There will be no bag checks but were hoping people won’t bring a lot of stuff with them.” Dahlquist said.
Gym Class Heroes has four members; lead singer Travis McCoy, guitarist Disashi Lumumba-Kasongo, drummer Matt McGiney, and Eric Roberts on the bass.
Gym Class Heroes have released several CD’s since 2001when they premiered the album “For the Kids”, “The Papercut Chronicles” in 2005, “As Cruel as School Children” in 2006, and “The Quilt” in 2008. At the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards they were also nominated for Best Group and won Best New Artist. In 2007 they were also nominated for Ultimate Urban at the MTV European Music Awards.
Brooks expects the show to go smoothly and said, “I have an awesome team to back me up so I have a good feeling about this.”
Brooks said she is in the works of planning up to two more large concerts for the 2009 to 2010 school year but has yet to confirm any artists.
