Monday early evening isn't great for some of us - 6PM is the time of
the public meeting with the needs-assessment consultant for the
Champaign County jail system. Brian Dolinar wrote:<br>

St., on April 1 at 6 p.m. </b><br>
</p>
<p>Champaign-Urbana Citizens for Peace and Justice encourages all
people from the community to attend and make your voices heard
on whether you think the county should spend more money on jail
cells or suggest other projects you think would better promote
public safety.</p>

Possibly after that? Brian or anybody, do we have an idea how long
this meeting might last?<br>
<br>
<br>
(Later that evening, some of us might also want to attend Imad Al
Qadi's Q&A after the 7:30 showing of The Gate Keepers, about
US-initiated death squads in Iraq. The film is showing all week at
the Art, but Monday's is the only Q&A session. I don't know if
we can slip into the Q&A, which would probably be a little after
9, without seeing the film before it.)<br>
<br>
I'd also be up for talking about this today, Saturday. <br>
<br>
Meanwhile, ...<br>
<br>
Do people have ideas for signs? I'm inclined to make one about the
public good - really like your comments about that, Aimee.<br>
<br>
Is there anything we might be able to put in print and hand to
passersby? I'd be happy to arrange to make copies if so.<br>
<br>
Demonstration logistics: Beckman has two main entrances, on the east
side facing a circle drive on Mathews, and on the south facing the
Engineering Quad. The auditorium is on the west end of the
building, so attendees might take either entrance. The building's
big enough that a demo outside one entrance would be out of sight of
those entering by the other. We should think about where best to
demonstrate depending on how many of us show up to object.<br>

<span>Dear Occupy CU and GEO,<br>
<br>
UIUC Chancellor's final lecture of the
year April 2 for "The Research
University in the World of the Future"
series will feature Norman Augustine,
the retired CEO of military weapons
maker Lockheed-Martin.
<br>
<br>
He will "discuss the idea that
universities have to reconfigure
themselves to meet the challenges of
the 21st century."
<br>
<br>
As the announcement below states,
Augustine believes </span><span><span><span><span>"universities
have to become more
introspective and aware that
their ultimate mission is to
serve the public good." I have a
feeling many of us have a very
different definition ?of "public
good" than he does.<br>
<br>
</span></span></span>So many young
people have been recruited into the
milita<span>ry by the poverty/lack of
purpose draft. The Army has a very
visible presence in signage
throughout the ARC. And the disaster
capitalist defunding of the public
sphere (while military spending has
continued to soar) has only made
easier corporations' co-opting of
the ideologies and values of higher
education.
<br>
<br>
I, for one, am not interested in
sitting politely quiet as someone
responsible for public funds
siphoning, let alone military
surveillance, warfare, and countless
authorized and unauthorized drone
attacks killing civilians around the
world, tells me how to envision the
future of universities I attend and
might work for.</span></span><br>
<br>
Anyone interested in organizing around
this? <br>
<br>
Hoping so.<br>
<br>

Colleagues:<br>
<br>
I am delighted to share
with you that Norman
Augustine, acclaimed
engineer and retired CEO
of Lockheed Martin, will
be the featured speaker of
the sixth installment of
our speaker series, "The
Research University in the
World of the Future." Mr.
Augustine's lecture will
be held April 2 at 4:00
p.m. in the Beckman
Institute Auditorium, 405
North Matthews Avenue.<br>
<br>
Mr. Augustine will discuss
the idea that universities
have to reconfigure
themselves to meet the
challenges of the 21st
century. He believes
universities have to
become more introspective
and aware that their
ultimate mission is to
serve the public good.
"Education investment goes
hand in hand with having a
strong economy and
universities are the key
to making the nation more
competitive."<br>
<br>
"The Research University
in the World of the
Future" series is designed
to give the campus
community a multifaceted
look at how higher
education is adjusting to
address society's changing
needs. As we envision our
campus 20 to 50 years into
the future, we are
exploring how to best
position the university
for continued relevance
and impact.<br>
<br>
Again, Mr. Augustine will
deliver his public message
at 4:00 p.m. in the
Beckman Institute
Auditorium, 405 North
Mathews Avenue, Urbana.<br>
<br>
I hope you will join us.<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
<br>
Phyllis M. Wise<br>
