Saturday January 12

Seven or eight of us throughout the hour. A regular participant came near the end of the hour; he recounted that he had just visited the Windows and Mirrors exhibit in the Memorial Union Concourse Gallery and found the lights turned out in the display cases. (Windows and Mirrors is a collection of 25 paintings, a memorial to civilian casualties of the US war in Afghanistan.) When he asked why, a MU worker told him that the lights had been turned out as a protest, because a few people at the university had found some of the images offensive.
