      WAR CRIMES PETITION TO THE DOOR OF STANFORD PRESIDENTS OFFICE

PRESIDENT'S OFFICE - BUILDING 10

      This Sunday, May 3 at noon Stanford Alumni returning to the campus for 
      a reunion marking the 40th anniversary of the anti-war April Third 
      Movement will join current students in nailing a petition to the door of 
      the University President's Office (Building 10) in Stanford's Inner Quad. 
      The petition asks that Condoleezza Rice and other high government 
      officials be held accountable for serious violations of law.

      The petition, being circulated by Stanford Says No to War, states:

      
        "We the undersigned students, faculty, staff, alumni, and other 
        concerned members of the Stanford community, believe that high officials 
        of the U.S. Government, including our former Provost, current Political 
        Science Professor, and Hoover Institution Senior Fellow, Condoleezza 
        Rice, should be held accountable for any serious violations of the Law 
        (including ratified treaties, statutes, and/or the U.S. Constitution) 
        through investigation and, if the facts warrant, prosecution, by 
        appropriate legal authorities."

      Marjorie Cohn, a leader of the April Third Movement and now President 
      of the National Lawyers' Guild, explained, "By nailing this petition to 
      the door of the President's office, we are telling Stanford that the 
      university should not have war criminals on its faculty. There is prima 
      facie evidence that Rice approved torture and misled the country into the 
      Iraq War. Stanford has an obligation to investigate those charges."

      Forty years ago last October, many reunion participants nailed a 
      document on the Stanford Trustees' Inner Quad office door demanding that 
      Stanford "halt all military and economic projects and operations concerned 
      with Southeast Asia," launching a campaign that led to the formation of 
      April Third Movement in Spring, 1969. The A3M's nine-day sit-in at the 
      Applied Electronics Laboratory brought an end to secret military research 
      on campus.
