"The retreat's goal is to create a safe space where women can explore issues of leadership together," said Lisa Rosenberg, AS activities coordinator and program adviser. Women in the Woods is an AS club open to everyone, not just women! The club was established to give women an opportunity to experience the outdoors and to create a space for them to gain confidence, club member Angie Bates said. "There is a real value sometimes to have just a group of women or men come together," said Tony Russo, AS vice president for Business and Operations. The board put together program standards last year to regulate the management of AS staff, programs and activities. The AS runs programs that are open to all students and that are not allowed to discriminate on the basis of" age, ethnicity, religious beliefs or sex, according to AS policies and procedures. Events needing to limit their attendance to a specific group in order to meet the goals of the program, however, are allowed to do so if the group receives approval from the AS board of directors. When situations such as this arise, the Program Management Council evaluates the situation and decides if it should be brought to the board. In this case, the council decided to create a subcommittee of four members to decide if the Women in the Woods retreat should be brought to the board, Rosenberg said. see WOMEN, page 6 Initative could create universal bus pass BY MARK REIMERS The Western Front An initiative to create a universal-student bus pass was the center of discussion as approximately 30 Western students and faculty gathered in the Science Lecture Hall Wednesday to voice their opinions about Western's transportation issues. The forum was the third in a series organized by students enrolled in a campus planning studio class that Huxley College of the Environment offers every winter. Gene Myers, associate professor of environmental studies and this quarter's teacher of the campus planning studio, said students work in groups to analyze and work on solutions to campus planning and management issues. This quarter's topic was transportation, and students put together focus groups, a student survey and the three transportation forums. "It's been a great way for students to contribute directly to the campus," Myers said. "At the same time, they have to learn a whole lot to do what they're doing." Alanna Ahern, Associated Students vice president for Campus and Community Affairs and the event's moderator, said the forum's function was to gather student ideas and opinions and to educate them about the transportation situation at Western and the universal bus pass initiative. If students pass the initiative see FORUM, page 6 Parrots invited to championship BY LAUREN ALLAIN The Western Front As many Western students will begin to battle spring quarter midterm blues on April 26, 10 members of the Dead Parrots Society will be performing at the Super Cage Match Championship at the Chicago Improv Festival. The Dead Parrots Society is an Associated Students club composed of Western students who perform improvised comedy on campus and in the community. In Seattle on Feb. 20, the society performed in-Cage Match, a competition between two local improv troupes.
