[Peace-discuss] [Peace] UIUC UGL promoting administration war propaganda

[Karen Medina]

The Undergraduate Library sent you this message????? What was the
actual email address? If it was the staff at the library, I think it
is time for the librarians of greater CU to do something. But I really
cannot fathom it being from the library.
