The opening to an article I posted yesterday: > The following is a statement issued by the approxi- > mately 100 students currently occupying Eliot Hall, the Reed > College administration building. These protesters first > occupied the building on Saturday, January 25, after a meet- > ing of the Board of Trustees of Reed decided against total > divestment from South Africa. Yesterday (Jan 27) I posted to net.general a statement to the Reed College community issued by a group of students occupying Eliot Hall, the main administration building. My reason for doing so was a request made by those occupiers. The content as well as the distribution was decided on by those people, and, as a student of the college with the ability to do so, I helped them. This has little to do with my personal feelings on either the divestment issue or the occupation. I apologize to those who feel "my" choice was inappropriate. {decvax, ucbvax, pur-ee, uw-beaver, masscomp, cbosg, aat, mit-ems, psu-cs, uoregon, orstcs, ihnp4, uf-cgrl, ssc-vax}!tektronix +--!reed!gil {teneron, ogcvax, muddcs, cadic, oresoft, grpwre, / harvard, psu-cs, omen, isonvax, nsc-pdc}-------------+

Don't apologize, Gil! Your posting was certainly of more general interest than most of what gets into net.general *OR* net.announce. _____________________________________________________ Matt University crawford@anl-mcs.arpa Crawford of Chicago ihnp4!oddjob!matt
