Friends:

I'm forwarding a message from Patrick Slattery through Linda Parrish.  It's 
for all TAMU faculty who might be interested in conducting one of the 
teach-in sessions on March 5.  Please read on below and contact Pat if 
you're interested.  Also, pass this message on to any TAMU faculty you know 
who might like to hear about it.

Dear Colleagues,

Information about "TAMU Professors for Peace Teach-In on Wednesday, March 5"

Circulate this message to interested professors, instructors, and graduate 
assistants at TAMU.

I was asked to remind folks that the reason March 5 was selected is because 
it has been scheduled as a national (international?) day of protest, 
networking, and education on all college campuses.

Read the statement below, and if you would like for your name added to the 
signatures at the bottom, please send me a personal email.  Also, in your 
message, please tell me what time you plan to be present at the event and 
what materials (if any) you plan to bring for discussion and/or 
distribution).  Write to me at pslattery at tamu.edu   or patslat at aol.com

Also, please send a copy of this entire message to as many colleagues on 
campus that you know.  Any faculty/lecturer, grad assistant in any 
department at TAMU is welcome to add their name to the list and attend any 
or all of the event.  PLEASE RECRUIT OTHERS TO JOIN US.  In order to get 
your name on this list, you must send Patrick Slattery (TLAC) an email 
message by Wednesday, Feb. 26.  Start circulating it across campus ASAP.

Finally, if you can help with the distribution of flyers on campus at the 
end of next week, let me know.

Teach-In for Peace
On Wednesday, March 5, from 9:30am until 2pm many professors from across the 
TAMU campus will gather in front of the academic building near the Sol Ross 
statue for the purpose of conducting small group discussions about our 
vision for world peace.  We will be dressed in black to indicate our 
concerns with current United States foreign policy, particularly the 
threatened war in Iraq. We invite any interested students to stop by and 
join in our discussion circles with us.  We will explain our position and 
invite your questions and comments.  We believe that it is imperative that 
we explore carefully the implications of American foreign policy in our 
lives.  We want to add our voices to the debate and provide an opportunity 
for students to hear informed dissent from their professors.  A few 
musicians will be with us sharing their songs for peace.  We hope to create 
an environment that will advance discussion of non-violent peaceful 
community on our planet in the dangerous days ahead.

Signed
Patrick Slattery, Professor, College of Education
etc.
