Negativland Uses Mosquito Fleet To Sting The NAB
13 Sep 2002
On Thursday the Mosquito Fleet of unlicensed micropower radio stations in Seattle joined together for a joint broadcast at high noon taking aim at radio giant Clear Channel communications. Media collagists Negativland provided a 24 minute program mimicing the style and sound of FM station KJR but infusing it with a scathing indictment of the station's most obvious and absurd lies.

Join The IMC Shows Group
06 Sep 2002
Are you interested in enhancing the local music and arts scene? So is the IMC Shows group!

The IMC Shows group has brought dozens of acts to
hundreds of people, all in the past six months. Ever since UC-IMC's space expanded to include a large performance area, the construction of the stage
and the massive upgrade of the sound system have combined to enable some phenomenal shows.

But the IMC Shows group could use your help. Currently a small group does everything from booking and promotiong shows, flyering across town, staffing the door at shows, running the sound equipment during shows, and keeping the room and sound equipment well-maintained.

If you have interest in any of the above, or anything related, you can join us for our weekly meetings, Wednesday nights at 9pm in the IMC front room (218 W. Main, Urbana).

If you can't make it to our weekly meetings or just want to help in a small way, such as by putting up flyers each week on a given route, please email me (bhalla (at) uiuc.edu), indicating your interest.

We would like the IMC Shows group to grow. Let us know how you can help!

Subsidies For The Wealthy -- Pay Your Own Way For Working People
06 Sep 2002
I attended the July 30th Champaign County Board meeting where the proposals to place two referenda to support the county nursing home on this fall's ballot were approved and moved forward. Many citizens spoke out once again in favor of these measures essential to continuing the county's near 100-year tradition of having these facilities available to care for our older citizens. The _only_ member of the public to speak against these measures was a representative of the Champaign County Chamber of Commerce. She had appraised the mood in the room and, seeking to save face in the face of overwhelming public support for the nursing home, was careful to emphasize that the Chamber of Commerce's opposition to the proposed nursing home referenda was "at this time."

I unfolded the Tuesday, August 6 News-Gazette this evening to find the Chamber's slick monthly insert promoting the interests of business in Champaign County. The cover story was on the quickly-nearing completion of Campustown's $9 million facelift at public expense.

Without even a note of irony, the cover of this propaganda publication also noted that the board of the Chamber of Commerce _still_ "opposes a nursing home referendum." So, not much has changed since last week, except that their representative managed to escape a public booing by waffling on the Chamber's position at last week's county board meeting. I am not holding my breath on the Chamber changing their position at any time prior to November's election. Here's why.

First Amendment Case Headed To Federal Court In Illinois
06 Sep 2002

A First Amendment battle is headed to federal court in Illinois. At stake is how much control college administrators will have over student college newspapers.
Staff members of the Governor's State University Innovator say that college officials exercised unconstitutional prior restraint over the newspaper. Organizations that fight for the First Amendment rights of student newspapers, like the Illinois College Association and the Student Press Law Center , say that if the staff of the Innovator loses their battle then college administrators will have the same powers over college papers that the US Supreme Court gave high school administrators in a 1989 case that originated in the St. Louis Area: Hazelwood v. Kuhlmeier.
