First, it is the ASUW that is putting on this rally. It has been in the works for several weeks now. The purpose, as I see it, of this rally is twofold: 1) To send a message to the Legislature that UW students are aware of what is going on, and that more people than just those in the departments most affected are concerned about it. 2) To get media exposure. (As far as I know, the media are invited to this rally.) Personally, I think the second aim is more important, because I would tend to agree with Professor Haney's comments on this topic. I, too, sent a letter to President Gerberding, Acting Provost Thorud, Dean Simpson and the editor of the Daily...and still have yet to get the idea that any of them read it, since none of them has responded.
