>>A few people took brochuers in Farsi and Arabic, quite a few took

>>Some people simply expressed gratitude that they were there.  Others said 
>>they appreciated us making the information available but felt that in a 
>>situation where they were being questioned or arrested, their supposed 
>>rights wouldn't matter much in the current political climate.  The mosque 
>>had an open house last Sunday and someone I spoke to there expressed 
>>interest in making the pamphlets available at the mosque, so that will 
>>happen soon.

>>An apology about the Daily Illini ad, if you've seen it (if not, I'll 
>>send you a copy).  Despite very specific written instructions to use the 
>>file that said "Paid for by the Champaign County ACLU," the ad in the 
>>paper said "Paid for by the University of Illinois Student ACLU."  I 
>>notified them of the mistake, and both of us are very sorry.
