                       RALLY TO ELIMINATE "CHIEF ILLINIWEK"
                      Thursday, April 15th, 2004 from 12-3pm
                  UIUC Alma Mater, Green & Wright Streets, Urbana


Dear friends,

As many of you know, the University of Illinois Board of Trustees was 
scheduled to meet on Thursday, April 15th in Chicago. However, the 
BOT cancelled their meeting to avoid a resolution placed on their 
agenda by the student trustee to eliminate "Chief Illiniwek."

The Board is also currently trying to change their meeting rules so 
as to  forbid a single trustee from placing an issue on the agenda 
for discussion without the support of other trustees, further eroding 
the potential power of the student trustee.

These most recent moves by the Board are even more outrageous and 
undemocratic than their past actions. This reckless abuse of power 
and subversion of democracy at UIUC by the Board of Trustees has to 
be put to a stop and we need your help to do that!

Join us for a rally on Thursday, April 15th (the day the Board was 
supposed to have met) at 12 noon to demand the elimination of "Chief 
Illinwek" and a return of democracy and unity to the UIUC campus.

Please forward this email to everyone you know! For more information, 
please contact the PRC at (217) 352-8721 or at prc at prairienet.org.

Sincerely,
The PRC
