[Peace-discuss] Mon., Tues. forums on campus

[C. G. Estabrook]

[There was some uncertainty at the AWARE meeting last night about the
schedule for the last two "CAMPUS FORUM EVENTS" [sic], so I'm reposting
the announcement from the chancellor's site -- scroll down for times. I'll
be at both with the literature box and would be glad to have help flyering
(good verb) the assembled throng. --Carl]

Information Resources on the Nation and International Conflict

"The hope of democracy depends upon the diffusion of knowledge and
wisdom."

These words are carved above the entrance of the Main Library on the
University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana campus. On April 21, 2003
members of the campus community will join together to discuss and debate
the military conflict in Iraq. The following webpage,
http://www.library.uiuc.edu/edx/iraq.htm is brought to you by the
University Library in an effort to inform this debate. This page is not
comprehensive. The individuals developing the page hope to provide
material on both sides of the debate and provide the user with the means
to explore the issues raised in more depth.

Sponsored by: The Office of the Chancellor, the Office of the Provost, the
Student Peace Action Registered Student Organization, Program in Arms
Control, Disarmament, and International Security (ACDIS), Global
Crossroads, History, International Programs and Studies, College of Law,
the University Library, Department of Philosophy, Department of Political
Science, Program in South Asian and Middle Eastern Studies and the Program
