Student Coalition Against the War (SCAW) Teach-in

Dickson Hall

(Dickson is located on the far north end of campus near parking lot 3)

You are an important voice in the struggle for peaceful resolution. Don't be

silent. Be involved.

The Student Coalition Against the War welcomes you, whoever you are, and

whatever political, religious, or ethnic personal history you bring with you.

We are united on only three points:

-- No War! Military action will not stop terrorism.

-- No to racial backlash toward Arabs and Muslims

-- No to attacks on our civil liberties

The Coalition seeks to work together with any and all groups, students and

non-students alike, to voice the demand that violence is not the answer to

the events that took place on September 11.
