On January 26th, over 200,000 people gathered in Washington, D.C. to let President Bush know how they felt about the War in the Gulf. People of all ethnic backgrounds, young and old, men and women, republicans and democrats gathered to show that they supported the troops in the Middle East, but did not condone governmental policy. The rally began on a beautiful morning around ten o'clock. On the lawns between the Capitol building and the Washington Monument, groups of people merged in front of a small stage. These groups were entertained by a number of singers and bands. This initial part of the rally lasted until noon when the crowd, which had all arrived by now, began to march towards the ellipse park behind the White House. This was where the main protest took place. Speakers with as diverse backgrounds as the people gathered around them came up to the podium, each with their own inspiring words of peace. For four hours, as speakers delivered their speeches, different constituent groups poured into the park. Around five o'clock the rally came to a close and thousands of people marched steadily into the two or three subway entrances available for more than an hour. Yet in all the time that people were waiting crowded, hot, and hungry not once did a temper flare. Instead the masses passed the time chanting and singing peacefully. Although the march did not receive extensive media coverage; the protestors successfully exercised their First Amendment right to freedom of expression. Only time will tell what impact this rally will have upon our government. THE PROMETHEAN FEBRUARY 7, 1991

Philosophy Conference To Be Held

"Philosophy and the Environment" is the theme for this year's Siena College Undergraduate Philosophy Conference, sponsored by the Athenian Society, Siena's philosophy club. Last year's conference attracted students from New York, Connecticut, and Massachusetts. The format for this year includes a main address by Dr. William Vitek of Clarkson University, and students presenting their own research. Dr. Vitek, who is preparing an anthology on philosophy and the environment, will speak on the topic "An Outline for an Environmental Ethic.'' His focus will be the various philosophical frameworks which have been developed for working out an environmental ethic. One of the student papers "Human Destruction of Tropical Forests: A Modern Ethical Challenge" will be presented by a Siena senior, Dan Thero. Another student presentation will be by Union College student, Amanda Arnoff. Her topic will be "Moral Equality for Animals." The conference will take place on Saturday, February 23rd, beginning at 9:00 AM. All sessions will be in Kiernan Hall. Lunch will be provided for everyone attending. The Athenian society is encouraging all interested Siena students to attend the conference and join in the discussion of these important issues.
