last i heard, x was still a grad student here at UW.  so, even
though he doesn't look the part, he's still technically a student.
don't get me wrong, i think he'd be a great person to be in on the
interview, but that's b/c he knows his shit backwards and forwards,
and has experience dealing w/ the media, not b/c he's a non-student.

and, regarding painting ourselves as too student-like....

over 600 students came out to a campus rally in mid september.  all of
our actions have been attended by a large number of students.  the
people who made the trip to DC for the nat'l march against the war
were predominantly students.  if this article is about the anti-war
movement as a whole, not just about mapc, i think 1/2 student is a
very accurate picture of who's been involved.  even mapc has a lot of
students involved in its organizing and activities.
