Student Government passes

recommendation for smoking zones Brandon Semler News Writer semler.4@wright.edu Student Government passed a recommendation for smoking zones on campus at their meeting on March 26. University College Senator and smoking task force member Ryan Rushing said that the recommendation was just an indicator of where student government stood on the issue, and was a small piece of a much larger puzzle.

“The decision of Student Government is just one component of a broad scale,â€? Rushing said. “You’ve got to put everything together, and make sure you have one big picture.â€? Student Government Senator Samantha Young and Rushing each suggested a proposal for WKH JURXS WR YRWH RQ <RXQJ Ă€UVW suggested a complete tobacco ban, which split the voting body at 13 votes for and against the recommendation. Acting President Matt Harmon (the decision maker in the event of a

tie) elected to deny the tobacco ban. Rushing then suggested the recommendation to require smoking zones on campus, which passed. The smoking task force recently distributed a survey assessing the opinions of Wright State students, staff, faculty and administration. The results of the survey are currently being analyzed and assessed, and will serve as a component to WKH WDVN IRUFH¡V Ă€QDO SURSRVDO according to Rushing. Student taking a break to smoke.

WSU students in the Chinese Writing Course will showcase their artwork in Chinese calligraphy and brush painting. On Saturday April 6 in the Apollo Room, there will be an Asian Culture Night, featuring “Kabuki and Onnagata: the Making of a Woman.” “We are very fortunate to have partial funding from the Japan Foundation of New York

so everyone can understand the very fascinating story and history of Japan,” Nguyen said. “In Japan, there are few actors that are women, so young men used to play their parts, this lead many to become gay which the government banned.” “So now older men play roles of women, similar to a geisha,” Nguyen said. “During Asian Culture night there will be a performance that’s very interesting about the making of a women with a story behind it that’s dramatic and will keep you entertained, as well as other activities throughout the night.” Member of the House of Representatives Frank Horton and Norman Mineta introduced WKH LGHD RI $VLDQ 3DFLÀF American Heritage Week in 1977. By the following year, President Jimmy Carter signed the bill and it was passed. However, the celebration was not made into a month-long celebration until 1992 under the authority of President George Bush. “Asian Heritage Month is an opportunity to share Asian cultures with friends, students and staff,” Nguyen said. “Asia is a big continent. It has 42 countries, each with different languages, religions and

customs.” In the 1800’s Chinese immigrants moved to the U.S. because pioneers found gold in California, attracting thousands of miners. Japanese immigrants also moved because of work in agriculture in California and Hawaii. After the Spanish-American War, the U.S. controlled the Philippines, increasing immigration to America. During WWII many Japanese Americans were placed in internment camps because they were seen as threats. By 1988, Congress gave $20,000 to Japanese Americans who had been interned. Today, the U.S. continues to increase the number of Asian immigrants and residents, and many have come into political power. Patsy Takemoto Mink of Hawaii was elected to the U.S. House in 1964 and became the ÀUVW $VLDQ $PHULFDQ ZRPDQ LQ Congress. All of the events are free and open to the public.

National Poetry Month has been celebrated since 1996. The Academy of American Poets, booksellers, librarians and teachers collaborated to decide how and when to celebrate poetry. “The purpose is to reawaken us to the importance of poetry in our everyday lives and to encourage appreciation and upstanding of the art of poetry, 8

our national heritage of poetry and of poets living and dead,” Chairperson of the Department of English Language and Literatures Carol Loranger said. Wright State is celebrating earlier since “spring semester ends a bit early this year, we have backed our celebration into March a bit- with the assistance of the Women’s Center and Women’s Studies Program which have opted to include poetry in their March Women’s History Month events,” Loranger said. The core events include;; Favorite Poem Fridays, where students, faculty and staff from different disciplines offer lunchtime readings of their favorite poems, Wright State Poets and Friends at Books & Co. and a Poetry Month Concert, which features performances by the music department faculty and students.

poetry readings, poetry writing workshops and public lectures on poetry given by other departments throughout the year. “We, in English, try to shake it up each year and we are thrilled that so many other groups are joining in to celebrate poetry as well,” Loranger said. Each of the Favorite Poem Fridays ends with a half hour open mic so attendees can

share a favorite poem. “I love lots of poetry, of course,” Loranger said. “I’m very fond, though, of American poets Edna St. Vincent Millay and William Carlos Williams. And no Ohio lover of poetry should omit Paul Laurence Dunbar from their list of favorite poets.” For more information contact Carol Loranger at carol. loranger@wright.edu.

Though Santa Clara ended the Raiders’ season on a sour note, Donlon sees encouragement with the form his team hit. “I think the hard part for our kids will be the way they lost the game, but they’ve got to keep things in perspective,â€?
