Peg-- The Chancellor at UCSD sent out some note about a UCSD response that
(this tells you the state of mind caught up with
mundane matter!) I put off reading.... maybe deleted its but its
retrievable. A poll showed two days ago that 60+
of the people did not think they would help people in the afflicted areas. I
wonder what the poll says today? Yahoo probably

what UCSD as an institution is doing.

Tens of thousands of newly homeless families are being bused to a stadium in
Houston, where they may wait for weeks or months. At least 80,000 are
