  Subj : DO YOU WANT A CLOSE FRIEND?                                          

******** DO YOU WANT A CLOSE FRIEND *********

So reads the headline in ad which appeared in today's *Daily
Illini*. Similar ads appear every couple of months. The ad asks,
"Who is this friend?" You know the answer. This ad had 43
signatures, this time NOT including the head football coach, for
a change. Chemistry was represented by 1 graduate student.
Physics, Geology, or any Biological Science Department were not
represented. On the down side, 4 signatories were on the faculty
of Electrical & Computer Engineering Department. What's going on
here?
