We just had an alumni meeting at front of chapel hall (am learning names of buildings around here quickly, since I'm a rit alumni) and we all agreed that we all will be standing together as alumnis at 6th st gate tmw am from 5am to 9am so when fac drives in and see us standing in lines between the road, passing one by one of us before lines of students -- we will have signs w us begging for them to help us.
We also discussed about wearing red (bloodly red) shirts on friday when the homecoming weekend starts...
I'm now at fowler hall working on signs and new cartoon strips....

The protest is unique as nothing is fixed around here. Things evolve around the clock...for example, there re two options about what to do tomorrow night and two diff grps are saying the other way. I guess we will find out soon. :)

Another long day another day of roller coaster emotions.... The alumni night last nite was successful with a huge turnout.... I slept in leala s tent first time I ve slept in a tent in 20 years and it was freezing too.... For those who do not know me I hate the cold weather so it was a big deal for me.. Nevertheless I was glad I did it as it helkped me appreciate the students even more as they have to do it every night for the past two weeks
Had a good alumni meeting this morning to stratwize our involvement as alumni. The afternoon was rather chaotic as no one knew what was going on all stufent leaders were in meetings...but it worked out ok at the end with a successful press conference with fac staff student alumni reps denouncing the selection process and the arrest of the sttudents. In the evening we had a successful rally at 6pm with hundreds and hundreds of people in attendance. Interim provost started with an announcement that the college will be open tomorrow. Then the tent city mayor told everyone that the college is open because we agreed to it .. Not because it was imposed on us... The. Different speakers came on the stage showing their support for jane to resign.
Tonite at 11 there will be a final rally and if the plan remains the same.. We ll be up early in the am to fiorm a human tunnel at the 6th street entrance to presure the faculty to make a strong stand against jane at their faculty meting tmw afternoon
That s the report from me.
