We need skilled labor (to write content, to develop a campaign website, to do media outreach, to edit a youtube video, and more). We need warm, friendly people (to table at the Farmer's Market, to hand out fliers, to hold signs & show up at UCD events). We need you! If you have time to volunteer, please contact our volunteer coordinator, Molly Reagh: molly.reagh (at) gmail (dot) com . - - =Letters of Support= - We need letters of support! Address those letters to UCD heads: Linda Katehi (Chancellor), Fred Wood (Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs), John Meyer (Vice Chancellor for Administrative and Resource), Emily Galindo (Associate Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs and Director of Student Housing), and Bob Segar (Assistant Vice Chancellor for Campus Planning at UC Davis). You can also send letters of support to the UC Board of Regents, the Davis Enterprise, the Sacramento Bee, and sympathetic politicians. - - Sample letters of support are below. Go ahead & personalize them! Tell your story about how the Domes has impacted your life.	+ =The Domes Need Your Help= + '''Community Build the Domes + November 3-6th, 2011''' + + For forty years, “The Domes” has sheltered a vibrant cooperative in its distinctive structures on the UC Davis campus. This innovative housing community is a local Davis landmark and a nexus of innovative sustainable ideas. Through SCHA's negotiations with the University, we've finally won the right to repair the Domes. We need your help to see this through! + + Volunteers, under the guidance and supervision of licensed contractors and building professionals, will help renovate these landmark community structures in anticipation of a January re-opening. Join us for our fantastic four day work-party extravaganza to rebuild interiors, lay wheelchair-accessible pathways, paint, garden, make and serve food, and much more. If you can commit to one four-hour shift (or more), we can complete the work in just four days, minimizing costs, and keeping rents affordable at The Domes. + + '''For more information and to sign up, visit [http://schadavis.org/domes-community-build BagginsEnd.org]''' + + [[Image(IMG_4211.JPG, thumbnail, 250)]][[Image(IMG_4205.JPG, thumbnail, 250, right)]] + + =More information about the temporary closure:= + + Here is the letter from Student Housing making the decision to not renew leases official: + [[File(Letter from Student Housing Feb 1.pdf)]] + For more information, please see the letter from residents: + [[File(Letter from Domes Residents.pdf)]] + Here is the proper link to the Dome Foam report that is referred to in the above letter (link in letter isn't working): + http://housing.ucdavis.edu/__pdf/importantinformation_domes_coops/Dome%20Foam%20Inspection%20Report.pdf + '''All 24 related documents from Student Housing:''' + http://www.housing.ucdavis.edu/current/importantinfo_domes.asp + + Below are samples letters to express support of the Domes.

He's got a couple dozen friends who keep him company, and has the opportunity to eat quality vegetarian food every day. There is a flock of chickens to play with and a garden that Chamomile enjoys strutting around in. Chamomile is a long-time resident. + + The residents of the Domes try to be as efficient with resources as possible. According to Amigo Cantisano, an Organic Agriculture Adviser and ["Organic" organic] farmer, living sustainably involves “Minimizing ["Pollution" pollution] and causing the least amount of damage [to the earth] as possible; using local resources; growing your own food; eating food that is minimally processed; recycling; taking care of your health and your environment.” + + In order for a community to achieve its goal of sustainability, it must work cooperatively. The Baggins End community is truly one of cooperation. Every second Sunday, the residents of the Domes gather to work together, usually in the gardens. Baggins End is part of the ["Student Housing"] Department and is owned by U.C. Davis. However, the residents do all of the work in the gardens and on the grounds. + + The Domes are home to U.C. Davis students of varying backgrounds and majors. Justin Regnier, a domes alumni who studied Transportation Technology and Policy, lived at the Domes for several years. According to Regnier, "Everyone does something. Gardening, pruning the trees, feeding the chickens-everyone contributes." Regnier believes that the Domes’ unique governing system is part of the appeal of the community. "The Domes are an experiment in sustainable living. We're self-governing, and all decisions are made by consensus. Communication and cooperation are important.” + + In order to maintain their sustainable environment, residents of the Domes rely on consensus, a policy that requires compromise and communication. Members of the community are brought together to discuss an issue until a convergent decision is made. Rather than being a simple exercise in trading (I'll stop playing my music loud if you do your dishes), genuine consensus requires the development of relationships among members (we'll listen to music while we do the dishes together). New residents of the Domes go through non-violence and communication training, so that they will be better equipped to participate in the decision-making process. "The training teaches residents how to listen to others instead of how to make others listen," explained Regnier. + + Because a very important aspect of any sustainable living community is the production of ["food"], the residents of Baggins End are especially dedicated to their ["Gardening" gardens]. The Domes have an extensive ["Organic" organic] garden that is maintained by both residents and members of the community. The garden consists of multiple areas designated for specific purposes, including an herb garden and greenhouse. An area called the DSA, or Domes Supported Agriculture, produces the bulk of the food grown in the community. Crops such as peas, garlic, onions, potatoes, eggplant and peppers are rotated year-round. + + Rotating crops is a common practice in sustainable farming that offers huge benefits and results in higher yields. Cantisano explains that some plants require a lot of nutrients, called heavy-feeding plants, and can drain the soil of nitrogen in a short time. Legume plants, such as beans, peas, and clover, are low-feeding, and actually introduce nitrogen into the soil. Crop rotation prevents soil from becoming depleted of nutrients without having to use inorganic or chemical fertilizers. + + The new greenhouse at the Domes, built by domies and friends, is another example of the community’s commitment to sustainability. As Regnier explained, the greenhouse is constructed so that the winter sun passes through the windows and hits a heat storing rear wall. The wall is constructed of rice straw and stucco, and retains heat. As the sun goes down, the rear wall emits heat, and keeps the greenhouse warm throughout the night. In the summer, the sun travels a different path in the sky, leaving the heat-retaining wall shaded. The greenhouse stays hot, but is able to cool during the evening. + + In addition to caring for the gardens, the chickens and Chamomile the rooster, the Baggins End community provides assistance during the ["Whole Earth Festival"] and works with the ["Experimental College"] on coordinating garden space and resources for classes and courses. The community also offers “Informal networking and cooperation with the local agriculture community,” said Regnier. + + While Baggins End is a residential area, members of the community are encouraged to visit the grounds and the people who live there. “We’re here and would like to see people,” explained Regnier. + + Residents of the Domes prepare a ["potluck" community dinner] Monday through Thursday nights every week, and take turns cooking the vegetarian and vegan meals. Many of the vegetables used are from the Domes’ ["Organic" organic] garden. Visitors are encouraged to attend the potluck dinners, listed above. + + The ubiquitous UC Davis printed map does an unbelievably bad job of showing the Domes on the map.

	+ ------ + ''2011-06-17 05:15:36'' [[nbsp]] As an Alumni of UC Davis and contributor to the school I was really disappointed to hear about this from a BART passenger recently. I was in shock and disbelief actually. Having worked for Student Housing I have a general idea of how much net profit they make per year and how shady this organization is. The Colleges at La Rue were once owned and operated by the University to be later sold to Tandem a private company, I think that's akin to selling one of the campus lecture halls to Donald Trump (ie someone's making loads of money at the cost of student's tuition costs). The domes were a great place to visit when I was a student and really a unique place that fostered creative thinking and ideas. It should be viewed more as a place of learning rather than just a set of houses or a plot of land that could be better financially utilized (some things have greater value undeveloped like the quad for example just a patch of undeveloped land that no one would suggest putting a dorm in the middle of). Anything put in place to replace it will likely not be as organic as the domes were. I will stop donating to the university and stop encouraging people I know to go to school there. It seems pretty apparent that the people running the school now are the same corporate minded individuals that are driving the rest of the country down the drain. --["Users/heyitsdimo"]

	+ ------ + ''2011-05-22 10:22:12'' [[nbsp]] The UC has become a really disappointing system these days. This is mainly an example of their reevaluation of land usage and the realization that they could benefit more from destroying the principles that tie the Davis community and school together, not to mention what is a historically unique to the school itself. Shame on UC Davis, your past is how you move forward to deny it or try to emerge from it without recognition is to completely forget what has contributed to it as a thriving school, the communities that make it up. Someone might want to look into the school feeling that the fiscal benefits are better being a commuter school than actually having live-in students because most of the students I meet now are all just commuters and mere transients to this community, don't know but it might be interesting. + --["Users/LindaHT"]
