Take a S.T.A.N.D. by Carrie Bowen Staff Writer Students Taking Action Now: Darfur. The stickers on windows and doors have been in our faces. So what is S.T A.N.D.? It is the Student Anti Genocide Network, focusing its work in the region of Darfur, Sudan where genocide has been taking place for four years now. The ongoing conflict has called students all across the nation to action. S.T.A.N.D. was created here at Brevard with the intention to educate the campus about the ongoing conflict and the horrible crimes against humanity taking place. Every week S.T.A.N.D. has an action of the week. This past week’s action was a petition campaign. Students asked friends, faculty, and staff to sign a petition to stop the genocide that will be sent to the congressmen in the upcoming week. If you would still like to sign the petition see Carrie Bowen, or another S.T.A.N.D. representative. Don’t Standby, Stand Up!

Imagine wanting to get out of bed, but not being able to. Imagine chemotherapy taking over every aspect of your life: physically and emotionally, while also affecting your family and friends. Cancer patients struggle to stay hopeful, which is why the American Cancer Society sponsors a Relay for Life, in order to raise money for survivors and current cancer victims. Relay for Life is a 24-hour event in which people engage in various activities: sports/ games, making balloon animals, face painting, playing music, etc. The idea is to stay awake for 24 hours, and because “cancer never sleeps,” neither will you. Brevard College is working on hosting a Relay for Life sometime this upcoming spring. If you are interested in joining one of the planning committees, please join them Wednesday, Oct. 17 at 7 p.m. in the reserved dining hall. Check your e-mail for more details!
