Kalifonien: Burn Server abgeschaltet !

An der Universität von Kalifornien in San Diego (USA) wurde der Server von
BURN abgeschaltet. Angeblich hatten sich beim Fachbereich Kommunikation
die
Proteste in letzter Zeit gehaeuft aufgrund von Informationen bei BURN über
die Guerilla FARC in Kolumbien.

Today (wednesday May 31th, 2000), about 15:00 (local time) the
Burn! machine
has been disconnected, and cannot be reached at  http://burn.ucsd.edu
anymore.

This decission was taken by the Department of Communication of the
University
of California, San Diego ( http://communication.ucsd.edu), where the
Burn!
machine used to operate. The reason was the "unusual increase of the
protest
calls that the Department of Communication regularly receives". It seems
that this increase was caused by the attention payed by Burn! to the
FARC in Colombia. It seems that this increase is not only quantitative,
but also
qualitative: they were from important people in the university.

The UCSD is a private institution. Last week, there was a meeting
between a
Burn! comrade and the direction of the Department, trying to find a
solution.
I guess this meant to remove the info about the FARC. The page was no
changed, and, because the "persistence of pressions", the director of
the
Department of Communication, "very sorry", disconnected the server. I
don't know what the Burn! comrades plan to do.

Those who want to express their concerns, can write to the director of
the
department:
Carol A. Padden
e-mail:  cpadden@ucsd.edu (cpadden a uscd.edu)
Tel: (858) 534-2843
Fax:(858) 534-7315

I insist that I don't know what kind of campaign or actions the Burn!
comrades plan to do. As far as I know, the relation between Burn! and
the
department direction is (maybe was) of dialogue.

Salud y lucha.
