Washtenaw County Coalition Against
Apartheid (WCCAA) members earlier
this week decided they will not press for
an emergency appeal on a recent
judgment by Circuit Court Judge Ross
Campbell stating that the University
may move its meetings to another
location in order to bar demonstrators
should there be a breach of the peace.

chances of (winning) an emergency
appeal," Liu added. He said the appeal

senators, lobbyists, and several mem-
bers of the state democratic caucus. He

State Court of Appeals in Lansing last
Friday. The case will eventually come
before three judges in that court.
