>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) 352-6533 or at 
>prc at prairienet.org.
>
>Sincerely,
>The PRC
