[Imc] Re: [Fwd: Independent Media Center - in-residence at Unit One/Allen Hall]

[John Wason]

I got this sent to me by a UIUC Green.  This is the first time I've heard a
single word about it.  Any reason why it hasn't been more widely publicized,
or am I COMPLETELY out of the loop?   Anyone know who's actually
representing the IMC at this thing?
