Prior to the act, perpetrators could not be charged specifically for trafficking others. "We did not get everything we wanted, but the act is a definite positive action," said Kathryn McMa-hodirector of research and trainthe Coalition to Abolish for ing Slavery and Trafficking. Trafficking is not particular to the United States., and its causes are linked to international issues such as globalization, war and the environment. "It is a global problem, a global issue that needs global attention," McMahon said. A recent United Nations report ranked trafficking as the third most profitable organized crime behind the sale of drugs and guns. n, DAILY BRUIN U Wire Day.

MARCH 10 our environment, something that we all, as residents of the most opulent country in the world, are virtually equally responsible for" EQ. member Ben Gore submitted a lengthy response to students in opposition of the proposed ban on the listserv, writing on March 4, "The real goal is to get some sort of change in Middlebury's rather absurd transportation policy. "We know that Midd is a fairly complacent sort of place, so we figured that it would need a good shove to get it going. We have since realized how complacent people really are; we are thinking of ways to overcome that inertia." He also responded directly to student criticisms that," in calling for the SUV ban, EQ. had in fact done more environmental damage than good by hanging up so many posters around campus. "To win change you have to play the game, and if that means visually raising awareness, that's what it means," he wrote.

The campaign, which started on Feb. 18, aroused the ire of many students who felt it unnecessarily aggressive and overly critical. Some members of the student community responded to EQ posters around campus, which cited the environmental effects of the vehicles, by hanging up more posters chiding the group with messages like "Ban Pants." The EQ campaign has elicited the attention of media beyond the campus, including the local weekly newspaper and, more recently, The Chronicle of Higher Education, a weekly publication covering institutions and trends. This Monday, a reporter from The Chronicle interviewed EQ member Ben Brouwer, of the proposal, to speak with him about the publication's recommendations and reactions to it. Brouwer said in a later interview that he had emphasized to the reporter not only the SUV ban, but n also the aspect of EQ's proposal. In addition to hanging up posters, EQ chalked slogans on campus sidewalks decrying SUVs; the group also put up banners and placed fake parking tickets on the windshields of SUVs parked on campus the evening of Feb. 18.
