Those Crazy Kids

This sounds like fun:

EMERGENCY PLANNING MEETING to Protest Summers & SexismTODAY (Friday) 2:30 pm - Loker Commons

Larry Summers' remarks on women in science at the NBERConference are now publicly released. National media attention isfocused on Harvard -- in this climate a student protest has the potentialto capture major news coverage and impact national publicdiscourse.

WE MUST SEIZE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK OUT AGAINSTSEXISM.
* The dining hall workers union is organizing against the hostile environment created by his comments.

* Yale students demonstrated on Thursday in solidarity.
* Senior faculty are challenging him and suggesting his resignation.

IT'S TIME FOR HARVARD STUDENTS TO JOIN IN RAISING OURVOICES!

Students and alumnae are planning a demonstration before the faculty meeting next Tuesday afternoon -- when professors convene to discuss a vote of "no confidence" in Summers.

What issues will we raise? From resignation, to childcare for Harvard workers, to a women's center, to finals clubs, let's get planning and put together an agenda!

Join us if you're concerned about improving the climateof this campus for women and about a feminist agenda at Harvard.
