I made copies of the documents for those of you who don't have the ability to download them, but didn't see any of you at the end of the day. The assigned readings are pages 92-106 in Out of Many and documents 2-3 and 2-13 on the CD ROM. If you don't have the CD, you may use the following links to view the documents:
