Interversity Quotes"I think it's time to ask the Standardistos: Where's the test for compassion? For honesty? For curiosity? For moral commitment? Until they can answer, let's tell them to shut up." —Susan Ohanian (One Size Fits Few: The Folly of Educational Standards) Interversity ProjectsEchoes of Orwell:The purpose of this webforum is to promote a lively discussion among students and faculty alike about George Orwell's 1984 and the parallels or echoes found in today's society. |

August 31, 1999 Hello All, Sorry for being esoterically inept. Story is good, and the more the merrier. The latest we can use photographs will be Saturday, anytime. I have to put out 32 - 44 pages by Monday p.m. and would like to spread as many as possible leading Detroit off page one despite the fact that we have lots going on here, too (as Newsweek indicates and you'll see tomorrow). Anyone who can be quoted on the record will also be helpful. It sounds like Detroit (unlike Chicago, as the latest Teacher magazine shows) has people in teaching who are willing to be on the record. Here Teacher could only find myself and Larry MacDonald (who's sitting at the computer ten feet away) to say on the record that the Vallas "miracle" is BS. Everyone else either praises Vallas or is using a pseudonym. Don't let that happen to you. How can we help Detroit other than publicizing what's going on? By the way, anyone who thinks the United States has a "free" press should hit Chicago's two daily papers for today (August 31) and look for the Detroit strike story. Neither the Sun-Times nor the Tribune had anything about it. The Chicago ruling class doesn't want its citizens to know that in other cities people are a bit more obstreperous. We had the same problem with the Ontario strike, which we only learned about here through New Democracy. We can talk later about the origins and implications of those media manipulation facts. Let's just say, this isn't the "X Files" but something that happened today in real time. Maybe by tomorrow Chicago's official mass media will take not of the Detroit strike, but for today there was a blackout. (Which wasn't true on local NPR, by the way, which carried a lot of good stuff...). Enough for now. The more photographs, the better the story. Please send directly to: George N. Schmidt Editor, Substance 5132 W. Berteau Chicago, IL 60641 773-725-7502 Let us know any costs of production and shipping. Thanks in advance. Any photo where we have a credit will get a credit, and photos already used in other publications will be credited accordingly. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the ARN-L list, send command SIGNOFF ARN-L to LISTSERV@LISTS.CUA.EDU.
