************************************************************** IFCSS Headquarters News Release No. 5124 March 21, 1994 ************************************************************** Independent Federation of Chinese Students and Scholars (IFCSS) 733 15th Street, N.W., Suite 440, Washington, D.C.20005 Tel. (202)347-0017 Fax: (202)347-0018 Email: ifcss@wam.umd.edu Urgent Call for Support!!! Update ===================================== IFCSS HQ Note: Since the HQ sent out News Release #5119 asking for signatures on a letter to President Clinton, HQ has received a lot of support from many local Chinease Students. The purpose of the letter is to ask the President to consider offering a two-year visa extension to Chinese students who do not fall under the CSPA because they arrived after the cut-off date. As of Monay, March 21st, HQ has received 38 signatures from local Chinese Students Organizations. We would like to thank you for all your support in this issue. Still, we need more support from you. Without the support of a great many more students, this letter will not carry the force needed to bring about a positive outcome. Those of you who wish to support this effort should talk with your local local Chinese student leaders and urge them to sign the letter. We do need your support!!! The following schools have signed the letter: Auburn University (CSSA) Bradley University (CSSA) Brandeis University (CSSA) Christian Collge, OR Cornell University (CSSA) Florida State University (CSSA) Foundation for Human Rights in China, OH Gallaudet University Kansas State University (CSSA) Lane County Community College Miami University, OH (CSSA) Oregon State University (CSSA) Purdue University (CSSA) Towson State University (CSSA) Tulane University (CSSA) University of California, Davis (CSSA) University of California, Los Angeles (CSSA) Universiyt of California, San Francisco (ACSS) University of Colorado, Boulder (CSSA) University of Idaho (CSSA) University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign (CSOC) University of Maryland (CSSA) University of Massachusetts, Amherst (CSSA) University of Minnesota (CSSA) University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill (FACSS) University of Oregon (CSSA) University of Pittsburgh (CSSA) University of Texas, Dallas (CSSA) University of Tennessee (CSSA) University of Utah (CSSA) University of Virginia, Charlottesville (CSSA) University of Washington (ACSS) University of Wisconsin, Madison (CSSA) University of Wyoming (CSSA) Vanderbilt University (CSSA) Villanova University (CSSA) Washington University, St. Louis (CSSA) Wichita State University (CSSA) Thank you for your support!
