to the conference. (The cost of showing anyone
is that others are bound to be left out. We apologize for that, and
direct you to the Photoalbum

Alert for more information. The
album has only a sampling of moments from Day 1, so, again, many students
who should receive recognition for their contributions are not included.

February 15, 2003
February 15, 2003 - Minou
Arjomand, Columia University student, spoke at an 'indoor super-rally'
organized by CAN after the mass rally that day in Manhatten. The rally
also promoted the upcoming CAN national conference in Chicago,
Feb 22-23. She was a primary
organizer of the Chicago conference.
Hamid Dabashi, Columbia
University professor and Chair
of the Middle East and Asian Languages and Cultures department, brought
the house down with his indictment of the Bush administration. Here,
his assistant is holding a copy of Guernica, which depicts the slaughter
of innocents during war. The Bush Administration 'ordered' this covered
up at the UN. A matter of a guilty conscience? Paintings and Poetry
are dangerous foes to the Administration, apparently.Read the interview
with Professor Dabashi concerning the dossier that was opened on him
by "Campus Watch," a Daniel Pipes project to monitor professors
of Middle Eastern studies in the US.
