The Kendall Green campus already became the real "circus atompshere" with the frenzy hordes of mainstream media reporters and camerapersons since 7am. I was helping out the FSSA people with the media access. Three media outlets from the WJLA-7, WUSA-9 and WTTG Fox 5 I had to dealt with them for making an access to the protest leaders via student (Sean Moore and Anthony Mowl) and faculty spokesperson (Dr. Lewis and Laurene Simms). I helped out the press release in regard to Ryan Commerson's PNG status. Ryan Commerson and I were interviewed by the WRC 4 reporter about the Gallaudet University's practice of intimidation and use of fear to silence the dissenters. Ryan Comerson had a formal meeting with Dr. John Van Cleve (JVC), new DPS (Dept. of Public Safety, formerly DOSS) this Monday morning around 9am without any legal representative.

Ryan Commerson got the news that he was still on the PNG til May 13th. He would miss his girlfriend's Gally graduation. I contacted the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) this morning for the depostition on the behalf of Ryan Commerson.

There was the press conference with Dr. Jane Fernandes this noon (every day at noon except tommorow Wednesday afternoon. Alot of students logistically asked Dr. JKF endless questions. Dr. JKF - "Leo" herself.

Everybody quipped that this situation might take 10-15 years . *sigh*
