Show Friday, October 5, 2007 Darfur continued from front photographs, that are a visual narrative of war, genocide, and the humanitarian crisis currendy ravaging the Darfur region of Sudan. These images were captured by Reed, who, in 2002, left everything behind to document the critical social issues of East Africa. While many have ignored the genocide in Darfur, Reed's photographs bring the reality of the people of Darfur to light. Reed has traveled to Sudan several times photographing victims and interviewing those involved on all sides of the crisis, writing his own eyewitness dispatches.

There are many groups throughout the nation that are raising public awareness about the ongoing genocide in Darfur. Cameron Morgan is president of The Weber State Stand, a group created to inform other students and people about Darfur and to help with the humanitarian efforts of Darfur. "To know that I'm spreading the word is the most fulfilling," Morgan said. Morgan has been actively trying to help humanitarian efforts in Darfur for the past seven months. He has raised about $700 for Darfur efforts. With Stand, Morgan hopes to raise even more money for the humanitarian efforts in Darfur. Morgan said that the horrors of Darfur are just as terrifying as the Holocaust.

"The war in Darfur is not a double-sided issue. The government is killing their own people," Morgan said. "As citizens of the most affluent and free nation in the world we should make it our responsibility and use our means to stop this." Oct. 8 to Oct. 12, the Weber State Stand will be on campus Summer continued from front which is often set in various time periods, and that the manipulation of period does not detract from "Midsummer's" accessibility to the audience. In addition to highly theatrical elements, audience members are treated to a rare glimpse of how the theatrical process can benefit from a strong collaborative environment. The cast of "Midsummer" has found a variety of ways to collaborate and bring varied experience and expertise into the production. Chris Brown, one of the four fairies performing, wrote an original song for himself and his fellow sprites to lull their queen to sleep with. Other cast members, Krystal Neddo and Chelsey Dickison, taught dances to the cast that have been added to the movement of the fairies and the mechanicals the ragtag group of handy men who perform the play within this play. Willie Richardson, playing the role of Puck, also assisted with other movement aspects while more experienced actors mentored those new to WSU's Theatre Department. All those involved in the construction of fall's rendition of this bright Shakespearian comedy take their work as thespians very seriously, but that does not mean the performance will be anything like its gloomy predecessor of last spring. "Midsummer" is a comedy in every sense and those involved have had as much fun rehearsing as they hope the audience will have watching the young lovers being tricked, a beautiful queen falling in love with an ass, and fairies frolic in Shakespeare's enchanted forest.

Wednesday Oct. 10, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Stand will be hosting a fundraiser in the Union Building with acoustic guitar and vocal performances.

A fashionable promenade Local designers show their wares with models and Utah fashionistas strutting down Broadway By Sam Baustina a&e correspondent I The Signpost Local designers gather for the second Fashion Stroll on Broadway. Utah designers have a street they can call their own, especially four times a year. Broadway, or 300 South, in downtown Salt Lake City was the site of the Fall Fashion Stroll last Friday night. The stroll was hosted by Model Citizen and other locally owned clothing stores. Matt Monson, owner of Model Citizen, was part of the development of the fashion stroll concept. The Stroll is held four times a year. Prior to the change of each season, Model Citizen and the other Broadway vendors hold the artisan market which showcases the talents of local designers as well as a few underground, out-of-state designers. "Model Citizen represents a growing niche market," Monson said. His idea is to offer an alternative to the typical mall stores and introduce fashionable clothes that are designed by aspiring Utah designers for Utah residents. Model 1 f. Citizen has clothing that Mod ranges in style from retro to Fash more modern items. Unlike many stores in Utah's major malls, Citizen offers a selection of animal-friendly clothing items that include vegan leather wallets. The Fashion Stroll was a natural next step in growing Model Citizen said Monson. This fashion stroll had the input of local stores Whimsy and Fleur de Lis as well as W Talent, a local modeling agency that provided models for the two fashion shows Friday evening. The W Talent models also became living mannequins for the window display at Model Citizen. Weber State University student Mallori Winegar, a fashion merchandising minor, like many in Ogden, hadn't heard of the Salt Lake event prior to last week. After learning more about it, Winegar said she thought it was a really interesting idea and believes it has the potential to grow into something really big. Even though Weber State University might have been out of the loop on Friday night, there are options for the WSU student to explore fashion. WSU offers a fashion merchandising minor through the Sales and Merchandising Department of Technical Sales. Students have had great success, especially with the Delta Epsilon Chi, a nationwide program for all sales students. WSU students have won many national awards, even beating schools that are dedicated solely to art of fashion and fashion merchandising itself. 77 Ask for There they gathered information about the ongoing genocide. To keep the children occupied while interviewing their parents, the researchers gave the kids paper and crayons. But instead of flowers and smiley faces, the children drew violent scenes of their villages under the attack of Janjaweed gunfire and government air strikes, scenes that the young children had become accustomed to. Their will be a bake sale The fall fashion stroll had an attendance that was estimated at about 1,000 people, having grown from the 200 or so present at the Summer Fashion Stroll in August. Among the many designers selling their wares and sharing their ideas at the fashion stroll were design teams Aequitas and Sentimental. Aequitas, created by Josh Kamp and Casey Childs, sells t-shirts and polos designed by Kamp and Childs. The team will be adding hoodies to their line and denim further down the 7 M , . ' el Citizen was the star location of last Friday's Salt Lake on Stroll road. The design duo began the company last November because of Kamp's long-standing dream of had starting a clothing company. "I had the idea for the name in my mind for awhile and was getting sick of expensive clothes," said Kamp when asked about starting Aequitas. The name originally belonged to a Roman goddess who would ensure justice. That basic principle is reflected in the clothing by having designs for all people, despite any differences. Kamp and Childs want their clothing to represent the person wearing their merchandise and express that person's unique outlook on life. Each of the designs offered by Aequitas represents an emotion and range from screen prints of writing on the shirts to a t-shirt emblazoned with a huge lip print, all of which were available at the Stroll last Friday. Sentimental was the creation of Adam Brown and Nate Bradshaw, both of whom also own an entertainment promotions company. Brown said he left the Salt Lake area for a time and when he returned, he had nostalgic feelings for the old friends and images of Utah. These sentimental feelings for Salt Lake blossomed into the designs for Sentimental's clothing Because Brown and Bradshaw also own an entertainment company, they decided to broaden their clothing company to GCK0 Student Discount Tiie Signpost Thursday, Oct. 11 in the union building from 8-2.

Having had someone assist them in fulfilling their dreams, they wanted to be able to help others. Each t-shirt that is purchased from the Sentimental clothing line will have $1 donated to a bucket.
