Ask Judy Gillette, librarian at Meadowbrook Elementary School, "¨C¢mo est  usted hoy?" (How are you doing today?), and you will probably receive a blank face.

As former ambassador Paul Bremer spoke inside Ed Landreth Auditorium Friday, student protestors outside voiced their opposition to the war in Iraq."What Will War Accomplish?" read a sign held by one student protestor on the lawn outside the auditorium.
