Student walkout planned to protest war with Iraq
A student walkout, "Books not Borbs: National Student Strike," will take place today at 11:00 a.m. at Wescoe Beach to protest a possible war with Iraq.
The event will start with an open mid reading at 11 a.m. for students, faculty and Lawrence residents to express their concerns. Tables will be set up on Wescoe Beach with informational materials about a war in Iraq and what it would mean.
Around noon, the demonstrators will march down Jayhawk Boulevard to Fraser Hall where a human peace sign will be formed on the lawn.
Amanda Flott, Omaha junior, said the goal of the student strike was to get students and faculty to walk out of classes and drop their normal activities to demonstrate their opposition to a possible war.
Professors were encouraged by e-mails and letters from Students for Peace members to cancel classes, walk out of classes with their students or have teach-ins educating students about the current events surrounding the threat of war.
Flott is one of the national representative for the "Books not Borbs" student demonstration. She said she hoped students would come and voice their concerns about a war in Iraq.
"I want students from all view points to attend," Flott said. "We want to get students on both ends revved up."

Mechanics to offer students free vehicle inspections Students driving out of town on
spring break have a cheap and easy way to make sure their cars will make it out of Lawrence. The offices of Student Health Services and KU Peer Health are offering students free car inspections from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. today in the parking lot at 11th and Illinois streets, across from Memorial Stadium
The mechanics from Midas Auto Service Experts, 2801 S. Iowa St., Slimmers Auto Service, 2030 E. 23rd St., and Bob's Import Service Inc., 714 W. Sixth St., will check tire pressure, fluids, belts, hoses and lights on students' cars.
Melissa Smith, public health educator with the Office of Student Health, said that if the mechanics discover more serious problems, the student will be provided with a coupon to get the work done at one of the shops.
"Our emphasis is on having a safe spring break and keeping students safe and healthy." Smith said, "Cars breaking down might not necessarily be a danger, but it can certainly be a nuisance."
