Student organizers have advised us of the formation of a local Coalition Against the War in the Gulf, which is holding an organizational meeting this evening (Friday) and a vigil Monday. The latter is "in support" of a group of students who are heading for Ottawa on Sunday to mount a protest there against Canadian involvement in the war against Iraq. A general meeting of the Coalition is scheduled for Thursday, January 24, at 7:30 p.m. in the campus centre, we are informed. Organizers of the Coalition include Robert Bruckner (576-0504), Marc (884-8621), Fiona (c/o the women's centre in the CC, ext. 3457), and Pamela (742-6031). An all-day "teach-in" about the war, scheduled for Tuesday, is sponsored by the Federation of Students. A prayer service responding to the beginning of the war was held this afternoon under the sponsorship of the university's Chaplains' Association.
