TO:  Members of the University Community


      The conflict in Iraq has begun and we are all a little uneasy today 
about it and about our own personal security.  Be assured that our 
campuses have in place security measures to respond to the heightened 
national state of alert and any emergencies that might arise.  
      
      As members of the University of Illinois family, our thoughts and 
prayers, whatever our faith, are for a speedy end to the conflict and the 
safety of those in harm?s way.  In the weeks and months ahead, we all - 
students, faculty and staff - have work to do and lives to lead.  Let's 
do our best to go about our business, respectful of one another and 
mindful of those directly engaged in the war.  
      
      And let's take a moment, regardless of our views, to cherish the 
peace and freedom we hold so dear.


James J. Stukel
President
