>>The message below is from the campus NAACP.
>>***********************************************
>>Please forward to as many people and organizations as possible:
>>
>>Today one of our black students Clarrissa who is employed at Follett's
>>bookstore was discriminated against because she was wearing an ANTI-CHIEF
>>t-shirt.  After serving a customer at the cash register, management 
>>recieved a
>>phone call from a
>>furious customer who reported Clarrissa to have been rude and nasty.  The
>>management called her in the office to address the issue and to avoid further
>>chaos Clarrissa decided to finish her work away from customers.  Soon after
>>the issue was
>>addressed ANOTHER manager came and basically told Clarrissa that she should
>>not work there if she DOES NOT support the chief.  THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!!!!  In
>>2004, NOONE should be told they
>>do not have the right to work where they choose b/c of their opinion.  The
>>NAACP does not support racist mascots and WE DO NOT support businesses that
>>discriminate against their employees because of their opinion.
>>
>>Just yesterday after a massive task force to poster and chalk the quad with
>>Anti-chief views, the NAACP found that all of our flyers had been torn down
>>and our chalking had been changed.  We WILL NO LONGER REMAIN SILENT ON THIS
>>ISSUE. Tonight
>>before our Viewing Party we are holding an emergency meeting to 
>>develop a plan
>>of action to combat the Chief issue.  SILENCE IS COMPLIANCE AND WE WILL BE
>>HEARD!!!
>>
>>Please come out and end this silence from students of color.  This is
>>something to fight for...
>>
>>TONIGHT!!!!!! 7p.m.  Wardall Lounge in ISR
>>
>>*Please be timely, we only have the room for a limited time.  If you have any
>>access to law students please encourage them to attend.
>>
>>7 p.m. Wardall Lounge in ISR
