I've been asked for names of alumni who are skipping their usual Saturday night routines to show their support for a better Gallaudet. Some people seen at the Front Gate area: MJ Bienvenu, Kelby Brick, Bobbie Beth Scoggins, Kevin Kovacs, Ron Fenicle, Jonas Fenicle, Tim Rarus, Tom Holcomb, Steve Hlibok, Amy Hile, Rick Ballard, Lynn Boren, Jerry Mabashov, Rory Osbrink, Andy Lange, Tiffany Granfors, Roland Granfors, Jeanette Pereira Brick, Tom Koch, Andy Bonheyo, Suzy Rosen, Bridget Bonheyo, Jerry Bonheyo, Peggy Ann St. John, Lori Bonheyo, Art Roehrig, Danny Frank, David Day, Abbey Roin, Barbara Motokoff, Ricky Taylor, Sean Markel, Toselli Silvestri, Paula Ammons, Edna Johnston, Elliott McGee, and Tim Monigan. And that is only the people that I know, and the names I remember. There are MANY MANY MANY more out there whose faces are familiar but whose names I forget right now.
If you know any of these people, page them and tell them you saw their names on Deaf Kitchen! More importantly, give them moral support!
When I arrived on campus, I would say there were about 400-500 people at the Front Gate. Many more in Fowler Hall painting signs, discussing strategy, collecting donations, and at least one person posting a blog (yours truly!). About 200 remain now, at 130am Eastern time. Spirits are high--at the same time, we seem to be prepared for a long haul.
Good night, or good morning--depending on when and where you read this!

I love you guys! Support GUFSSA! All the way!
1. Board of Trustee governs Gallaudet University.
2. Jordan had 20 years,Psychology professor, time to learn and mold whos who on Board of Trustee.
3. When Jane was hired, she was smart to ensure there is clause in contract of acceptance for compensatory of accepting resignation.
4. Gallaudet may not have budget to compensate for Jane resignation.
5. However unpopular, BOT insisted on Jane as next president, Student took action in the best interest of Gallaudet University.
6. In 1988 when BOT elected Zinser, student protested and Zinser resigned gracefully and their education moved on. Now 2006 protest, Jane steadfastly refuse to resign, hence the protest.
Case in point: University President designate should have enough intelligence that if unpopular or protest resulted in elected by Board of Trustee - (resulted in campuswide distruption) At what point should the elected president announce her resignation? What makes her think when she begins her job in Janurary, Gallaudet University operation will be hunky-dory? Students, staff, parents and faculties from Gallaudet and nationwide expressed their voice and thoughts. She havent even begun her job as president. Does one need intelligence to compute what the effects will be when she begin her job in Janurary 07?? Look at what's happening in October 06!!
