As you say, it's likely that many interested people will be occupied
for Easter weekend. How about this: can we try to meet Monday after
all, but a bit later - if possible after the ILPP meeting? As a
wild guess that might be 8-something PM, but maybe others will have
a better idea? In the mean time if anyone has ideas of what or how
we should do this, please speak up.<div><div class="h5"><br>

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

<p>Dr. Alan Kalmanoff of the Institute for Law and

at 6 p.m. </b><br>
</p>
<p>Champaign-Urbana Citizens for Peace and Justice
encourages all people from the community to attend

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>

Dear
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>
