Mysterious Snowfall in Bobst
Mar 12th, 2009 by Take Back NYU!
At approximately 3:30pm today, unsuspecting students in the lobby of Bobst were surprised by a shower of papers that fell from the floors above. One of the fliers read:
“We are PEOPLE not PROFIT.”
Another flier read:
“The time has come to begin our refusal. We cannot allow ourselves to stand idly by while NYU profits by our intelligence, lining other people’s pockets while our future slips away. The crises we face are too great for self-interest-as-usual.
This is the beginning of their end, and our beginning. Out of their fall, we will rise.
Will you rise with us?”
This one was followed by a picture of a bottle with flames (that look suspiciously like the NYU torch symbol) bursting from the top.

#4, guy debord was a french philosopher who is dead. i’m pretty sure he didn’t upload that video to vimeo. are you really so antagonistic to find this to be an issue?
Sorry this is off-topic, but I urge you to make a phone call right now. The University of Kyoto is threatening to remove a temporary handmade residencial facility that belongs to a labor union to end their partial occuaption of the campus.
The school’s got a phone number:
81-75-753-7531
You can leave a message addressed to the President and Board members there. Neither the operator nor the secretary has done anything wrong, so be as respectful as possible when you call. If you just say “don’t do anything unlawful,” that’ll be enough.
