Subject: [The Flip Side] Come to our Appeal Hearing
The Flip Side - The Alternative Press of UW-Eau Claire - 11/30/04
Greetings Friends,
If you have ever contributed or given support to this paper, then this
effects you. This hearing will decide if this paper will continue for
another year.
The appeal hearing to determine if The Flip Side will or will not
receive any funding will be on Wednesday at 5:00pm (12/1). The Finance
Commission hearings are open to the public and they welcome anyone
wanting to attend. This hearing will be important because a lot of
commissioners/senators are on the fence in how they will vote. The vote
will be close and it is more difficult for people like Matt Wisnefski,
who oppose funding our paper, to say "free speech and student thought
and opinion on campus is not worth funding" when there are 50 people who
disagree in the room starring at him.
Many on the finance commission do not believe anyone in the community
cares about free press and Eau Claire having an alternative news source
to The Spectator, so if you want to prove them wrong, please attend this
appeal hearing.
The appeal starts at 5:00pm in the Pottawatomie Room in Davies. They
won't debate The Flip Side until 5:40pm. So I recommend showing up at
5:25pm (they may/can start sooner). It will be done before 6:00pm. We
will be gathering first in the Arrowhead Room (I reserved it) before we
go into the appeal hearing. I ask for you to come if you can. Bring a
friend/date/stranger if you can. Thank you.
E-mail me if you have questions.
The usual. . .
