Dear Friend of BURN!,

The UCSD Communication Department, which hosted the BURN! project at
burn.ucsd.edu since it came online in April 1993 until we were censored
for political reasons last May 31, is having a meeting on Wednesday
June 14 at noon local time (20:00 GMT). The outcome of this meeting
will probably determine whether or not BURN! can continue to exist,
and may also have fairly far-reaching effects on a variety of other
radical projects in other places.

So we are asking for you (and all of your friends!) to send letters
supporting BURN! to certain UCSD administrators on Monday and
Tuesday. There are lots of other people here who support us, and we
need to strengthen their position as much as possible in advance of the
meeting on Wednesday.

Please send letters to:

cpadden-AT-weber.ucsd.edu
Carol Padden, Chair, UCSD Dept. of Communication

and also send copies (important!) to the following addresses:

burn-AT-groundwork.ucsd.edu
BURN! Collective

commtalk-AT-weber.ucsd.edu
Communication Dept. Faculty and Grads. Mailing List

dmiller-AT-ucsd.edu
Dave Miller, Assoc. Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs

mchandler-AT-ucsd.edu
Martha Chandler, Senior Vice Chancellor Academic Affairs

rlparker-AT-ucsd.edu
Robert L. Parker, Chair, Academic Senate

dynes-AT-ucsd.edu
Robert C. Dynes, Chancellor, UCSD

Richard.Atkinson-AT-ucop.edu
Richard Atkinson, U.C. President

If all goes well, we could be back online in our old home by the end
of the week.  If not, the University may succeed in censoring us.
Bureaucrats will rejoyce and seek new targets with increased vigor.

In case we are censored again, there are web pages where we will maintain
current information on where to find BURN!:

   http://www.sindominio.net/burn
   http://groundwork.ucsd.edu/burn

On these pages you'll also find links to a mailing list archive which
contains background information and copies of some of the other letters
we've received.

Thanks for your solidarity!
