<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Since I'm not on campus til tomorrow and tomorrow
is the deadline to get signatures in the mail to the MLA office, I'm attaching
here a MLA radical caucus-sponsored petition in support of teaching Palestinian
literature etc.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Remarkably few of us are MLA members anymore, and
this goes for the English dept. faculty, too. You need to be a member for
your signature to count. John Ganim and Katherine Kinney are members,
at least - so if some enterprising person would like to print this out and
approach a few people with it, you can leave it in my mailbox tomorrow with any
signatures gathered and I will do the rest. Actually, grad students on the
job market are the people most likely to be members.</FONT></DIV>
