[Alfred Kagan]

>FYI, all are welcome to attend.



>Candidate Forum  Wednesday, October 13, 7:00-8:00 p.m.  407 Levis
>
>      We just wanted to urge you to attend--and to encourage
>colleagues to attend--the UPE's Candidate Forum for 103d
>District State Representative (Feinen, Jakobsson, Mackaman)
>and Champaign County State's Attorney (Piland and Reitz). 
>Candidates have been asked to make short opening statements
>focusing on union and university-related issues (this will
>also encompass one of the first joint discussions among the
>State's Attorney candidates of the controversy over
>prosecution of videotapings of local police interactions with
>African-Americans). 
>      The Presidential Debate Commission was inconsiderate
>enough to schedule the third Bush/Kerry debate for 8:00 p.m.
>on the same Wednesday night as our forum.  That's why we've
>confined the forum to an hour and moved up the starting time
>to 7:00 p.m.  We very much hope that UPE members can make a
>good showing, both to inform ourselves and to communicate our
>sense of the stakes for the union, the university, and the
>broader community in these races.
>      Thanks.
>                   Ron Peters and Mark Leff
