<DIV>FORWARD WIDELY... <BR><BR><BR>To Friends and Supporters, <BR><BR>We have just learned that Charles Peterson, the student who was maced <BR>and assaulted by police at yesterday's counter recruitment protest at <BR>Holyoke Community College, has received a letter from the HCC campus <BR>police, informing him that due to "his conduct" he is indefinitely <BR>banned from campus. If he steps foot on the property he will be <BR>arrested for trespassing. <BR><BR>In other words, without any due process, or the opportunity to even <BR>speak to administrators, Charles has been banned from campus for <BR>the "crime" of being maced in the face by police officers. <BR><BR>It is important to say that Charles Peterson, who witnesses described <BR>as playing a moderating role at yesterday's protest, is an upstanding <BR>member of the HCC community. He is the recipient of the David James <BR>Taylor Excellence in Philosophy Award. He is Vice President for <BR>Academic Affairs on the Student
Senate. He is a member of the College's <BR>Learning Communities Committee, and is a frequent contributor to the <BR>student newspaper. <BR><BR>Furthermore, Officer Scott Landry, the officer who sprayed mace in <BR>Charles's face yesterday, is also an advisor to the College Republican <BR>Club. The College Republicans were present during the protest <BR>yesterday, cheering on the police as they attacked students. <BR><BR>Where is due process for Charles Peterson? <BR><BR>PLEASE CALL (AGAIN IF YOU'VE CALLED ALREADY CALLED) AND REGISTER YOUR <BR>PROTEST AT THIS OUTRAGEOUS TREATMENT! <BR><BR>HCC Main Number 1-413-552-2600 <BR><BR>President Messner 1-413-552-2222<BR><BR>- Holyoke Community College Anti-War Coalition<BR>Contact HCC AWC: charlest.peterson@gmail.com<BR>HCC AWC is a member group of the Campus Antiwar Network:<BR>http://www.campusantiwar.net/<BR></DIV><p>
