Creating Conservatism: Right-Wing Grassroots Politics during the Cold War
March 22, 2007
Williams 323
7:00 p.m.

Why do Americans become conservative? How do Americans become conservative? These questions have been very much on the minds of those who study postwar American politics. Implicit and presumed, yet far too often unexplored, is that a transformation took place. But what if there was no change?

Relay For Life
March 31st 7pm - 7am, Barton Hall, Cornell

Here are some tips on how to fundraise:

If you go to the relay for life webpage www.acsevents.org/relay/ny/ithacacollege and log into your headquarters, you will see an email tab. Click the tab. Make sure the template is at Ask for a donation email. It will provide you with content or if you want to edit it or add a personal story.

Ask your parents for email addresses from family and friends. Also utilize facebook and message and write on your friends walls.(10 people 10 dollars is 100 bucks!!!)

One last thing, if everyone would invite all your IC/CU friends to the RFL facebook event: http://ithaca.facebook.com/event.php?eid=2246361814

It would be a big help for advertising.
Thanks again.
