[Josh Wilson]

Just to let all ya'll know - we've decided that we'll be officially closing
the petition on Oct 18th - that's in a week - for formatting, printing, and
mailing all the signatures off. 

If you have anyone to forward the link to, now is a good time to do it.

 I passed the info to a cousin of mine who works for the ACLU in 
Albany, and she passed it on.  The word she got is that there are 
"other" language programs in the SUNY system and they are trying to 
consolidate programs in a kind of hub of specialization system. Another 
example of the marginalization of language study in the US!
