The HUFFmeet under the stewardship of Toughtimes Thomas and Cut-the-Crap Coral will be meeting after a solidarity showing in support of an unfairly charged student.  Details to be discussed at court—where the hearing starts as 1 p.m.  Coral can’t give an exact time, but predicts the court will adjourn at 2:30 when surviving HUFFsters will meet in the atrium area between the courts and the County building.

Coral and Thomas will make their own agenda based on the reports and wishes of those present.  Robert presents below an abbreviated (slightly) series of suggestions—which will may or may not be used at the atrium meeting.  Some of the ideas will likely reappear at the next regular Sub Rosa meeting of HUFF on May 7 at 1:30 PM.
