The Student Government Association at Ithaca College is committed to fostering an environment in which a wide range of events, organizations, and perspectives are valued. We, the SGA Congress, affirm that freedom of speech and freedom of expression are essential in the maintenance of this environment. As the primary financial support for most clubs and organizations on campus, we challenge all groups to expand the political and social conversations within the Ithaca College campus. However, we urge all members of the Ithaca College com­ munity to be conscious of the ramifications of their choice of language. In addition, SGA finds behaviors and actions that incite fear and infringe on the quality of life of individuals unacceptable and detrimental to the Ithaca College experience. We encourage all Ithaca College community members to challenge and ques­ tion the opinions of others in an appropriate and pro-active manner. SGA promotes a climate in which differences and. diversity are celebrated in a respectful and thoughtful dialogue.

NAMED SILVER CROWN WINNER FOR 1999-2000 The Ithacan THURSDAY NAMED BEST COLLEGE WEE KlY IN ~· . . APRIL 25, 2002 THE NATION FOR 1999 PAGE10 NAMED BEST COLLEGE NEWSPAPER IN NEW YORK FOR 1999 p1n1on Editorials Aiding earthly efforts Tuesday, Ithaca College community members concerned about the environment raised quite a stink - literally. As part of Earth Week festivities, volunteers from the college's Resource and Environmental Management Program piled all of Monday's trash from around cam­ pus into the Campus Center Quad. They sorted out the recyclable items to illustrate how much material the college could keep out of landfills. The results were astonishing - 46.5 percent of the daily trash was recyclable. Last year, Americans generated 409 million tons of waste, and New York state led the rest of the nation as the leading exporter of trash. Thi? messy and smelly project points to a campus-wide negligence of the environment. Placing a soda can into a blue bin instead of a trash can takes only two seconds of extra thought. Yet many students, faculty and staff are not willing or not conscientious enough to exert even this minimal amount of effort. A decade ago, recycling and con­ servation were all the rage, but the concern for the environment has waned considerably ever since then. Now, it is time once again for a ~--· revival of awareness. Problems plaguing the environment are well-documented - from resource depletion to pollution to global warming. These problems arc huge and may not be apparent in the daily lives of most people on cam­ pus. But little decisions that people make every day accumulate to have a tremendous impact on the planet, as the trash heap poignantly showed. Each person can do her part by performing small but very important acts, such as recycling, turning off lights when you leave a room or carrying a cloth bag with you when you go shopping at Wegmans.

As a result, she became more involved with the event -- even talking about her own experiences in front of a crowd of 400 people. "J spoke out," Torres said.
