A new movement is taking root at UCLA.
The national popularity of organic foods has continued to
increase over the past decade, and UCLA students and officials are
looking to jump on board with plans to include several organic food
options at on-campus eateries.

At its March 10 meeting, the Associated Students UCLA Board of
Directors met with Coke Free Campus, the student coalition seeking
the removal of Coca-Cola products from campus, to hear the
group’s complaints regarding Coca-Cola’s alleged
mistreatment of workers in Columbia.

A new group on campus is trying to remove products of the
Coca-Cola Company from UCLA.
Coke Free Coalition, a coalition of students from several
student groups, demonstrated last week in opposition to having
Coca-Cola products on campus.

Students might not initially connect sinking shots with selling
shirts, but strong performances from men’s basketball as well
as football may have a positive effect on BearWear sales,
Associated Students UCLA officials said.

Though UCLA is considered by many students to be a safe campus,
a series of crimes in Westwood since Dec. 15, 2005, have some
concerned. Recent statistics show at least a three-year trend of
increased crime in the UCLA area, but a decline in many crimes on
campus.

Five years ago, the University of California adopted a code of
conduct that aimed to improve conditions for workers who make
merchandise bearing the logos or trademarks of the university and
set standards of labor for licensees.

With terms such as “blog” and “podcast,”
the new computer jargon that has become second nature to many UCLA
students has a new term to add to its lexicon:
“wiki.”
Wiki, meaning “quick” in Hawaiian, is a new type of
Web site that allows users to directly edit a database of
information with no prior knowledge of Web site programming.
