Yeah, the whole thing seems too jazzed up. Why not just treat it as a job fairand reserve space @ the Illini Union? I can see where the Feds would like to bask in the humanist aura of Mckinley... And maybe McKinley looks it as an alternative to never-ending war against states.

Although I'm not a big fan of 'progressive' groups fighting with each other--and at the risk of starting
another 'theological' discussion--I can't help but remark:
I'm not terribly suprised to see CIA recruiting efforts on our campus, and it doesn't bother me so much. However, I am very suprised to see such an event hosted at McKinley, which has always been very fond of tooting its own horn as the most progressive liberal protestant church in town.
In the past, McKinley has been known to reject on the grounds of ideological difference space-use requests from (relatively moderate) evangelical campus groups looking for places to hold Bible studies.
Does it than follow that McKinley is more ideologically
aligned with the CIA than with, say, Intervarsity Christian Fellowship? If so, perhaps I should stop calling myself a liberal Protestant ;-)
