David O. Jones, owner of Big Dave's Barbeque in Clemson, has formed a partnership designed to offer Clemson residents a higher quality of meat. Jones Harold Abercrombie, manager of Clemson's swine department, and Mark Stevenson, manager of Clemson's meat lab have banned together to created a partnership aimed at offering locally butchered pigs as a fresher alternative. Beginning in March, Jones began purchasing hundreds of pounds of Clemson meat weekly. Clemson University pigs are raised at the Starkely Center in Pendleton, under Abercrombie's supervision, and butchered at the Clemson Meats Lab by Stevenson.
On April 7, nearly 10,000 flags will be placed on Bowman Field in a visual display of hate and oppression, with each color flag representing a different type of oppression. Each flag represents a victim of hateful behavior with various colors symbolizing different forms of oppression. This display is meant to create greater awareness concerning the lack of tolerance in the United States and to be a springboard to initiate conversation that will lead to greater sensitivity and understanding.
A former Clemson University Spanish professor has sued the school in federal court, alleging a pattern of discrimination and harassment taken against Hispanic members of the School's Languages Department. In the suit, Bautista said she was paid significantly less than non-Hispanic professors of comparable rank and tenure, repeatedly denied research opportunities and sabbaticals, and that she was repeatedly denied opportunities to supplement her income by teaching summer term courses. Bautista is asking for punitive damages, attorney's fees and compensation for lost and future pay. Bautista worked at Clemson for 16 years, eight of them as a full professor with tenure rights.
On April 4, members of the Clemson ONE Campaign will host the art exhibition ONEart. Art will be for sale and show, with money raised from sale to be donated to ONE. The ONE Campaign is a national anti-poverty movement designed to raise public awareness about the issues of global poverty, hunger, disease and efforts to fight such problems in the world's poorest countries. Additionally, ONE petitions leaders to do more to fight the emergency of global AIDS and extreme poverty. The exhibit will take place at the DCF Building located in downtown Clemson under Keith St. Bar and Grill. Admission is free and there will be refreshments and live performers.
On April 5, the Clemson Gay-Straight Alliance will host their prom. This year the theme is "Pride" which was chosen to celebrate the idea of being true and happy with oneself. The event is not only for the GLBT members of the Clemson community, and is open to all. The prom will take place from 7 p.m. - 12 a.m. at the Palmetto Ballroom in the Union. Admissions will be $5 per person. Contact Steven Sweat at ssweat@clemson.edu to reserve tickets and pay at the door the night of the event.
