“Lie on beach in Wrightsville
Print resumes
Make job calls
Fudge resume
Make job calls again
Reconsider position at The Gap
Call Sen. Edwards to redirect money from war economy to domestic jobs.”
—UNC-Chapel Hill commencement program insert written by Town and Gown for a Peace Economy, a coalition of peace and justice groups. The insert contained a list of jobs graduates can expect to find in peacetime versus those available in wartime; a critique of the way the government is slashing spending in some areas while funds for homeland security are flowing; and a sample of the “pro-war” voting record of North Carolina Sen. John Edwards, the commencement keynote speaker–including his backing of the USA Patriot Act.
