Protesting Students Show Involvment in nationwide Issues tudents are putting on their walking shoes, picking up Panners and shout- ing slogans to create an awareness about issues which are important to them Tallahassee became a part of history in the making; on October 9, Florida was the first state to convene a special legislative ses- sion, which lasted only four days, to decide the fate of Roe vs. Wade in Florida. One student who joined the Monroe St, march in support of her beliefs stated, I believe that life begins at concep- tion and I am a Catholic, but I do think exceptions should be made when a mother ' s life is in danger, and in cases of rape or incest. ' ' Another member of the commu- nity had other reasons for march- ing. I remember the days of back alley abortions, and I do not want my children to go through what I went through. It took my body five years to heal. Students also show their con- cern in the form of organized groups. One such group is the Flor ida Public Interest Research Group.

On Wednesday, No- vember 1, anti-CIA protesters gath- ered on the Bryan Hall lawn while a CIA recruiter was interviewing stu- dents, calling attention to the vio- lence that the CIA has used to supress political movements in many countries. The protesters carried posters bearing anti-CIA sentiments, and placed crosses on the lawn bear- ing names of the countries they be- lieved to be hurt by CIA operations. — Kelly Jacobs With all the problems we are having right now with AIDS, have you ever thought maybe the person that was aborted twenty years ago could have come up with a cure? -Anonymous ABORTION KILLS The plight of the homeless is what FPIRG members Susanne Staples and Julia Brehm wanted to en- lighten students about.
