>>>Dear Faculty and Administrators,
>>>
>>>"Chief Illiniwek" represents the racist "tradition" on this campus 
>>>since it began in 1867.  We as students cannot tolerate this type 
>>>of injustice any longer.  The Latina/o Studies Student 
>>>Organization is calling for an emergency meeting Tuesday, March 16 
>>>at LA CASA @ 7pm in order to mobilize our community to vote in 
>>>tomorrow's vital referendum that includes the student vote on the 
>>>Chief, the increase of the cultural programming fee and the 
>>>election of critical student positions on campus.
>>>
>>>We know this is short notice, but the time is now to end this 
>>>symbol of racism.  If you cannot attend this meeting we ask that 
>>>you at least inform your students on the importance of this vote.
>>>
>>>Sincerely,
>>>Latina/o Studies Student Organization
