4 the Seahaw^/Qcto^er 31^ 1000 Question of the Week: What are your Halloween plans this year? Student Voices: ANDREA SMITH, CHERI BOYETTE, senior sophomore “I haven't made plans yet for Tuesday night. I'll probably go downtown or to a friend's house, something like that. I’m not sure if I'll dress up but if I do, I'll be Betty Boop." “At the moment I have no plans for myself, but I'll take my son trick-or- treating at the mall. I want to go to a party and if I do I'll be a '70s disco Afro queen.” SEAN GALER, freshman “I'm going to a keg party, I think, and my girlfriend and I are dressing up as pimp and hos. A lot of people are going to Chapel Hill, but I went last year, and it wasn't all that, so I’m not going again this year. There is plenty going on down here, so I’m throwing down here.” LAURIE WOZNICKI, sophomore “I’ll be volunteer ing, taking kids trick-or-treating. Then, hopefully, to a party or downtown. I don’t really have plans, but I’ll dress up as a cowgirl if I go out.” Do you have a concern you would like us to address???

Wave a yafe ar\i /fa((oween/ ECO club helps beautify community Sarah Busick STAFF WRITER The Environmental Concerns Orga nization (ECO club) has been work ing hard this year to clean up the UNCW campus and the Wilmington community. According to ECO Club President Chris Register, the club was estab lished, “to educate the UNCW popu lation as well as the greater Wilmington community on environ mental issues.” Some of the issues and activities that the group pursues include the na tional beach sweeps composting and recycling awareness efforts. ECO club members have volunteered for Habitat for Humanity and the Center for Marine Conservation. They also sponsor Earth Week during the end of April to provide UNCW students with information about how they can im prove the environment. Last year’s events included bringing in the gas- electric car for students to drive and a huge gathering of all the recyclable material on the lawn. “Every day people need to get in the habit of doing something good for the environment,” Vice President Caroline Wicks said. The club would like to see adequate recycling bins across the campus, en ergy efficient lights in the classrooms and 100 percent content recycled pa per. Another area that they are work ing on is getting UNCW in compliance with executive order #156, which has specific energy and recycling guide lines for the state of North Carohna. Currently, members of the club con tact the housing director and the cen tral stores when they have a concern about recycling or composting. Let ters have also been written to Chan cellor James R. Leutze to solicit help from the university. The members of ECO strongly en courage students with concern for the environment to become involved in the club. “(We) provide students with the op portunity to explore... what they think about protecting the environment,” Register said. Every year the club tries to get more students involved in cleaning up the campus and community. ECO sponsors booths at the Involvement Carnival and the Halloween Carnival. They are also working to get a repre sentative from each dorm to oversee the recycling for that dorm. Students will not only improve the environmen tal condition of the university but will also be able to earn volunteer service hours by participating in club activi ties. Robert Buerger, professor of parks recreation management and BA coor dinator for the environmental studies program, is currently the advisor for the ECO club. The club meets every Tuesday at 6 p.m. in University Union 206.
