Hi folks, 

	it sounds like CMU dining services are about to make a fresh
attempt to throw Sree's lunch stand off the CMU campus. Sree
requested that I post a note so that people know what's going on. 

	On Friday (2/21) a gentleman from dining services showed up
and started moving the chain link barrier that separates Sree's lunch
queue from the wall, allowing an accessway to the credit union. He was
moving it to the right, effectively eliminating Sree's line
altogether. Sree complained, and this guy called the campus cops,
saying that they would throw Sree out if Sree touched the barrier. After
some argument, however, they eventually agreed to move the barrier
back. Nothing further was said at the time.

	This morning (2/24) Chief Lapaglia (head of the campus police)
called Sree and said they have a letter from some vice-president's
office authorizing them to arrest Sree if he shows up to deliver food
on campus today. Sree asked for the name and phone number of whomever
signed this letter but Lapaglia wouldn't tell him.

       ********************************************************

     Sree has already cooked all his food for today (Monday 2/24)
       and doesn't want to let his clientele go hungry while he
   throws it all away. He is planning to show up on campus anyway.

    If you would like to show your support for Sree, please either
     show up at his regular delivery spot around 11:15am, or give
		   Chief Lapaglia a call at 268-2327.

       ********************************************************

Sree would like the chance to sit down at the table with dining
services folks and negiotiate this in a reasonable manner WITH A PANEL
OF STUDENTS PRESENT TO MEDIATE. If you've been following the story
over the months, you'll know that dining services has done anything
but give him this chance. If you'd be sorry to see Sree go, this would
be the time to express that sentiment.
