The Black Student Union, Pride Coalition and Campus Ministry for Christ are sponsoring a giving tree with all gifts to benefit AIDS victims. On Nov. 16, the three organizations kicked off the giving tree effort in the WCG atrium. Those attending included Black Student Union President Angelia Cooper, Pride Coalition President Patti Honan, Campus Ministry for Christ President Alyssa Mower, and University of Washing­ ton, Tacoma Chancellor Vicky Carwein. The organizations chose this cause because Honan had the idea and approached the other two presidents. She said she chose Three Cedars mainly because she wanted to do something to help the community in general, but focused on the gay/lesbian community.
