[Peace] Protest and Picket Against the War

[Brian Hagy]

Ok, now i'm really confused, and probably by my own language!

What I'm trying to figure out is what is happening on Thursday?  Are there
two separate protests occurring, the PRC's on the Quad AND the
Ladies/Laddies Against War on Prospect...OR is there one in which both the
PRC and the L/LAW are meeting on the Quad?

I used the word competition cuz i was seeing the unfortunate possibility
of spliting resources (which are already small).  If the PRC is rallying
students, then perhaps that's not so much a problem.  I don't want to see
people having to choose which protest they want to go to (though, it's
kinda a cool thought that sooooo much is happening in this town that
scheduling forces overlaps).  If people have to choose, that's
disappointing,

And sorry if i created confusion with any thinking that the Ladies Against
War only meet on Thursdays.  I am dancing knowing that they meet every
day!  I actually use that mental picture (these wunnerful women
standing on the corner waving and helping to get people
talking/thinking/brainstorming) when i walk into places like
Wal-Mart with my NO WAR hat on (a little higher chin, a little twinkle in
my eye).  I'm just a wee bit confused about what's going on this Thursday
(hence, tomorrow, or today, if you're reading this today, er
Thursday, which is tomorrow for me today...how's that for being
confusing?)
