April 2008

 

The people in the Peace Studies Office bring the Kenapocomoco Coalition Newsnotes to you monthly during the academic year. The purpose is to inform students, faculty, staff, and other interested folks of scheduled events and activities within the department and pass along other  relevant information. The things written in the newsletter do not necessarily reflect the thoughts, opinions, and beliefs of everyone in the Peace Studies office or Kenapocomoco Coalition. If you have something you would like to add to the newsletter, please contact Audrey Hampshire, the Peace Studies intern, head cook, and editor of the Kenapocomoco Newsnotes. E-mail: anhampshire@manchester.edu or call x4151. Thanks.

 

"Raise the price of oil
And then censor our mouths
If you are a young couple today
Forget buying a house
And we wage or wars
In the neighborhoods
And we kill the young to feed the old
And man that ain't no good."

   -Love and Happiness written & performed by John Mellencamp
