latly (Ear Mppl Activist Group Seeks Non-Profit Corporate Status By Emma Merritt Staff Writer JULY 12 - After years of trying to beat corporations, Students United for a Responsible Global Environment is preparing to join them - in a manner of speaking. SURGE is working to become a cor poration, but unlike the companies it opposes, the group seeks non-profit cor porate status. Members say gaining this status could help them raise more funds and accomplish more of their goals.

She said incorporation is a good idea for SURGE 30 Muncher 31 Title papers 33 Hoosier poet James Whitcomb 36 Chinese gift's name 37 Rustled 39 Camera type 40 Home of the Bulls room dance 5 Insect's feeler 6 Macbeth title 7 Cloth tear 8 Over the hill 9 Chinese gift's name 10 Stockings 11 Dreary 12 British peer 13 TV award 18 Walk the floor 22 # of Kubrick's movie? 24 Spread wide 25 Hindu tunes 26 Smell 27 Corruptible 28 Markets 29 Less a lie?

Sophomore Kate Witchger, co-coor dinator of SURGE), said she thinks non profit status would help the group in other ways as well. “We’ll also get official recognition and the group can grow,” she said. At a lengthy June 27 meeting, SURGE outlined its bylaws in a legal document. “It took a lot of work to decide exact ly what to say,” said SURGE member (CJ2OOI Tribune Media Services.

Tompkins said Bernholz is now reviewing the bylaws, which she will submit in proposals to the state govern ment and then to the Internal Revenue Service. “(The process) is lengthy,” Bemholz said. “And you have to say all the magic words.” In addition to working on non-profit status this summer, SURGE has been organizing its annual “Glocal Conference,” scheduled for Oct. 26 to 28. Members say they anticipate this year’s conference will be successful. “It’s a weekend-long conference full of workshops, discussions, movies and other things,” Witchger said. Tompkins said the group expects .mint free stuff, 1 BMgMjl fi x |KSbb V Wa wukMUM WW * oP Mi PSi toeauiiuao * as BEERS on EAP / 4? PJSEE DEIsIVEiSS? AAoHdow AXnsAroom Pizza Batters 1502 6.

SURGE has been an active group at UNC for three years, and in that time has become a national organization. Witchger said that SURGE’S main goal is “nonviolently working toward social, economic, political and environmental justice.” SURGE has been involved with many global campaigns, including protests against the School of the Americas and the fight to end economic sanctions against Iraq. Witchger said gaining a non-profit status could allow the group to become more involved in these campaigns and others. She said SURGE maintains a net work of between 300 and 400 people on Saturday, August 18, 2001 its listserv and has many national con nections. “We connect with at least 250 student and community organizations and schools,” Witchger said. Tompkins said these connections are crucial to SURGE’S impact “The real, fundamental idea behind SURGE is helping different causes with common goals - bringing together dif ferent groups and networking,” he said. Becoming a non-profit corporation could change SURGE, but Witchger said its mission will remain the same. “We basically have a strong ideology behind what we do, and we’ll stick to that,” she said. “(Incorporation) will help our mission even more.” Emma Merritt can be reached at ecmerrit9email.unc.edu. 7A
