More than 300 people gathered at Wells Hall on Friday at a teach-in about the United States potential war in Iraq, organized by a coalition of faculty members and students protesting the war.From the start, English professor and speaker Ken Harrow said the teach-in was not purely an educational function, but a political function as well.Speakers later urged the audience to join Fridays rally against war on Iraq in downtown East Lansing.Harrow, along with four other staff members and a representative from the Students for Peace and Justice, spoke during the two-hour seminar, sponsored by the Faculty, Staff, and Student Coalition Against the War in Iraq.Assistant English professor Salah Hassan said after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, most of the Middle East was split up and colonized by Great Britain and France.
