[ Tim's opinion of University protesters becoming capatilist conservatives deleted. Not because I disagree with it, but because it doesn't directly apply to what I'm going to say ] I attended the similar OFS rally last year and was quite suprised. My main reason for attending was to protest the condition of some of the labs we were working in (Elec. Eng, at the time). Out of 5 labs during the term, 4 screwed up because of 40yr (seriously) old equipment broke on us. That's why I plan to attend again this year. BUT, what I don't like about these rallies is the "extras" that come along with any kind of protest. I'm speaking of the people handing out the latest edition of "Rebel Review" or some other similarly named publication. I went to the rally (and will go again) to protest the condition of some of the labs I work in. I am not a "rebel" that hates "the system", and don't like to be tied/linked to such people. Well, that's my $0.02, and I'm back to doing homework..... -- Doug Eastick BITNET: eastick@me.UTORONTO UUCP: ...!utai!me!eastick EDU: eastick@me.toronto.edu -- Doug Eastick BITNET: eastick@me.UTORONTO UUCP: ...!utai!me!eastick EDU: eastick@me.toronto.edu
