I. 	People and the Land

    WHEN:	Tuesday, 09 April 2002 from 7-9 PM CST
    WHERE:	Illini Union Room 314B 
    
    Film footage and narration of the so called goods day during the
    "Peace Process" (1997). Discusses and places in context the Israeli
    regime's concept of "slow transfer", i.e. the cleansing of historic
    Palestine of it indigenous people, including the policies of pass
    laws, checkpoints, area/economic closure, housing demolition,
    property confiscation and destruction, and army and police murder
    and beatings. The film will have a 5 minute introduction with
    discussion to follow.


II.	Prince El Hassan

    "Is There a New Opportunity for Peace in the Middle East?," a
    lecture by HRH Prince El Hassan of Jordan, will be held at 4 p.m. in
    Tryon Festival Theatre, Krannert Center. The event is free and open
    to the public.
    
    Please note.  This event is not sponsored or endorsed in anyway by
    DSC or the Divestment Campaign.  Prince El Hassan and Jordanian
    leadership have been an enemy of the Palestinian people since the
    foundation of Jordan.  This event is on this list for interested
    parties.  We will follow up the next week on Monday with a response
    to this talk.
