The press release should probibly be by PLUG. I agree with everyones concern over BYUSA... this can't be a UUG thing because the mere notion of bad press (which is correlated in many cases with protests) would cause BYU to over-react.
Once its been drafted, the press release should be sent to all the local news outlets via email or fax: harktheherald.com, SLTrib.com, Desnews.com, abc4.tv, kuer.org, ksl.com, utahpublicradio.org, fox13.com, 570knews.com, kutv.com, slweekly.com, utahradionews.com -matt On Tue, 17 Jun 2003, Nathan Rackliffe wrote: > Evan McNabb wrote: > > >>Wow, this whole thing sounds pretty sad..
