Designated Protest Zones

In order to begin with a more orderly school year, the following protest zones have been established at La Salle. Those protesting are asked to keep within their designated zone so as to alleviate chaos, and reduce confusion.

	20th Street Closure Protesters: Please use the designated area highlighted in red at the corner of 20th and Olney. John (The hot dog guy) will still be on the corner, available to cater your specific protest needs. This remains unchanged from last year. Students will still walk by. They're still looking forward to the guy with the trumpet. Really. And bring back the car-mounted loudspeaker. You're making progress. Really.
	Current Allegations Protesters: In front of the Hayman Center (shown in blue). Near where the action is, and in front of the only people who can fix it, as athletics is kind of autonomous from the rest of the school... Students who want to protest the Basketball team in general should feel free to congregate there as well. This includes the newly formed student group, "SABH," Students Against Billy Hahn.
	"The Tree Huggers:" This is for all those who love the trees on south campus - COM majors, Neumannites, Cake editors - please protest in an orderly manner along the circular drive (highlighted in red) on south campus. This will minimize the impact to the rest of the community (Com Majors only watch movies, and Neumannites, who haven't had to deal with the 20th Street bullhorns.)
	Unemployed Alumni Who Can't Read Their Diploma (as it is in Latin): Please congregate in front of the Administration Building (shown in black). Stare with a confused look into the large glass windows. Ignore the fact that the translation was on the envelope, you clods.
	Commuters: sigh... I know, you all took a sharp breath when I wrote the "C" word there. It's kind of like shooting fish in a barrel with this one, folks... Seriously though, in honor of your constant protests, and the constant "going in circles" attitude of the administration, please proceed directly to the track, where at least at the end of the day, you'll know how many miles you've walked and can see just how far you've come.
Any other groups wishing to protest any other aspect of La Salle are asked to please register with the school. Forms are available in the Dean of Students Office and also the Office of Safety and Security. Groups are asked to please register their causes quickly, as prime protest space will almost certainly be gone by the time classes begin in late August.

Yeah, top is meant as satire, meant humorously, insert standard disclaimer here.

I'm moving in the morning - at least getting a bunch of stuff up to Manayunk, and then most probably coming back here. I know - it's 2 steps forward, and one step back, but the round trip leaves me with a key, a place to sleep, and most of my stuff in Philadelphia.

Oh, my sister did manage to make it to Paris yesterday. My family couldn't be happier.
