[uw.campus-news] Teach-in about the Gulf war

gazette@watserv1.waterloo.edu (Chris Redmond) (01/30/91)

The Federation of Students is sponsoring a "teach-in" today
on issues related to the Gulf war.

    [Editorial comment:  Wouldn't it be nice if the Feds
    made information about this kind of thing available
    *in advance* to the Gazette, and thus to this newsgroup,
    which is a Gazette spinoff?]

The event began about 10:00 in Fed Hall and is scheduled to
run to 5 p.m., according to flyers posted around campus.

At 11 a.m. there was a crowd of about 150 people on hand -- that
is, the main floor of Fed Hall was pleasantly full, with nobody
standing and everybody having a good view of the stage.  Those present
were listening with rapt attention to one of the three speakers
seated on the platform, who was talking about attitudes to Saddam
Hussein in Arab states other than Iraq.
