WEEK AGAINST WAR/PEACEWEEK!
Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 03/11/2008 - 18:18.March 19 2008 marks the fifth anniversary of the start of the Iraq
War. In the last five years close to a million people have been killed
on both sides of the fighting. Although the situation in Iraq is
steadily worsening, the Iraqi people’s plight has faded from the
public’s consciousness.
The Iraq War, which continues to rage on, is now being largely
ignored by the media. We cannot ignore the war. We cannot forget the
war. We must take a stand for peace. We must stop this war.

Open Letter to Paul Davenport
Submitted by Anthony V on Wed, 02/27/2008 - 11:38.Dear Dr. Davenport:
We are writing to you as deeply concerned students of this academic institution regarding your acceptance to invitation to stand as the 2008 Negev Dinner Honouree by the Jewish National Fund of London.
As members of the Public Interest Research Group (PIRG), a ratified club here at UWO, we have worked tirelessly to advocate for freedom of speech as well as an environment of tolerance and acceptance on campus. In that regard, we believe that your acceptance of the award presented by the JNF stands in contrast to the values that our group, the UWO community, and the President of this university actively support.
Die-in casualties hauled out of Career Fair
Submitted by Anthony V on Sat, 02/16/2008 - 14:54.“The pioneers of a warless world are the youth that refuse military service.”
Albert Einstein
Check your ignorance at the door. Before you dismiss our counter-recruitment action as some pointless hippie-shit, open your mind and learn why we did it.
The military has no place at Fanshawe College’s Career Fair for numerous reasons. Firstly, there are no military-related programs offered at Fanshawe College and therefore, every student here is studying to become something other than a soldier.
