Hi everyone,

I'm currently in D.C. and yesterday was Parents' day. They had their meeting w/ Irv.... Then we had a press conference but only to discover that JKF/IKJ along with concerned students had theirs at the same time. Condience? You decide.

The press conference led by Bobbie Beth acknowledged lies JKF used in the Washington Post article and shared how it's an insult to us by calling us terrorisms. There was also stories shared on how we have always accepted oralism, CI, etc onto campus.

MJ shared her experience meeting w/ Jane along with Kitty Baldridge and Bob (I missed his last name..) from Lingustics dept.. She shared that she told Jane she should be shamed. Jane was a hard headed who repeatedly said she's the only one to do the job.

Bobbie also recongized those who are on hunger strike... Some of them are on their 7th day today! Parents shared highlights of their meeting... Noah Beckman shared his experience at Captiol Hill... All ended very positive.

We r still discussing on what exact plan would be for Homecoming... For now, we'r marching to the Captiol at 9 am tomorrow... Then we shall see what FSSA has decided on today.
