apologies for not being in attendance. and may i say WOW! i've been to at least half a dozen regents meetings over the past few years and it gives me chills and makes me feel so blessed to see all of you up there - and SO ORGANIZED! thank you so much to the new generation of Demilitarization students at UCSC... you are incredible. and all the students, from UCSB, Berkeley, Davis as well as the supporters.

An additional "bravisimo!" to the woman that read the Richard Blum study. the Chronicle article focused on it (www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi).

Gary Novack (whom i once had the displeasure of sitting next to on a bus tour of LANL) voted NO in the meeting today. it wasn't unanimous, but 11-1 to partner with Bechtel and move ahead with the bid.

Last, but not least, for more information listen to this interview from Free Radio Santa Cruz on the UC, it's corporate ties, and the weapons labs. Recorded May 31st 2004 on Corporate Swine Radio.
