HILLEL BOARD NOTICE
Please note that the final Board Meeting of the semester will be
the THURSDAY after break - THURSDAY, MARCH 16 at 4 PM. It is at this
meeting that we will finalize the schedule for Hillel elections.
Following is an e-mail we received about the Ann Coulter speech from the
Loyola Anti-War Network about a meeting they want to have in the lobby
downstairs at 6:30 PM tomorrow night. We have a program on the Israeli
elections at 5:30 PM. If any of you can go to the 6:30 PM meeting, please
let me know.

MESSAGE FROM THE LOYOLA ANTI-WAR NETWORK ABOUT THE ANN COULTER SPEECH
I was wondering if there had been any discussion within Hillel about the
upcoming speaking date of Ann Coulter on Loyola's campus. Word has spread
pretty quickly this week about Coulter's unabashed use of racist and
sexist language, and many students have been vocalizing their opposition to her
speech (and especially the use of their money to pay for it). Because much of
what Ann Coulter stands for directly opposes the people and principles around which
Hillel is created, the Anti-War Network (LAWN) would like to ask any
students involved in Hillel to join us and students from other cultural, religious,
and progressive groups on campus TOMORROW, Thursday, at 6:30pm in the lobby of
Mundelein to discuss ways to show unified and organized opposition to the
speech. Because Coulter and the College Republicans have denied students
the opportunity to freely pose questions during the event, LAWN and other
groups have decided to come together and try to find alternative ways to make our
opposition to the presence of hate speech on campus known.
I apologize for the short notice of the meeting, but information about the
event was not provided by the organizers in a timely fashion. The Spring Break
schedule also means that this speech will take place shortly after we
return.
We are also planning to hold a second meeting sometime after break. If you
have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Peace,
Dugan Meyer
LAWN
