RALLY AT NOON, LIBRARY MALL. The weather is not the greatest for protesting, and it's the last week of classes. That didn't stop some of the local students and a few faculty advisors from advocating a worthy cause. To quote their flyer:

Did You Know That...

* NIU limits free speech to part of MLK Commons

* NIU is one of the few remaining campuses to have free speech zones.

* Join us in our demand that NIU remove its free speech zone policy.

Northern Illinois and Southern Illinois Universities persist in this archaic policy. The editorial board of the Northern Star have joined in the call. Perhaps it is time for me to exercise my benefits as a member of The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education and report the facts to the national organization.

SECOND SECTION: F.I.R.E. Department called. Particulars as warranted.
