William Chace, University President

As we, the students and faculty of Emory, define our role in this critical and contentious time, we face a critical junction. Before us lay two paths: one that will lead us to more divisiveness, anger, and polar exchange, the other, which will lead to constructive dialogue, moderation, and understanding. The choice is very clear. We cannot and must not seek to define ourselves within the Vietnam paradigm. Nothing short of constructive balanced debate is a let down to not only the ideals of this academic institution but the nation as a
whole. Remember, these are the precise rights that our soldiers abroad are fighting for.

Unfortunately, as it is during times of crisis, it is often the moderate amongst our population that suffer. You know who you are. You feel at times intimitated to ask, question, or dissent, in the face of a barrage of well-articulated arguments from many parties. You desire to learn facts, not the myths. Truth, and not conspirarcy. To those of you out there, I implore you to engage in the debate that has swept the world.

Whether you come out pro-war, anti-war, or undecided, it doesn't matter. The important thing is that you engage yourself in the process of debate and dialogue.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the purpose of our organization EFPE is to engage EVERYBODY in the process; In doing so we wish to foster that which our campus has been lacking for a very very long time; true substantive face-to-face dialogue.

This evening EFPE encourages everyone of you to attend our dialogue sessions to be held outside of Brooks Commons at Cannon Chapel beginning at 6:30. There we will discuss, debate, and learn more about this crisis through interaction between students and faculty. Please remember to leave apprehsions behind and get to ready to engage with each other.
