SPEC, UA give support to jilted Stalag SPEC President Jon Herrmann, a Wharton senior, said that both SPEC and the UA were planning to circulate petitions in support of Stalag 2000 today on Locust Walk in an effort to communicate the student opinions to administrators. Signs in support of Stalag 2000 appeared in prominent places on campus yesterday. According to club co-owner Sean Agnew, the University pulled out of negotiations early last week, but neither he nor administrators were willing to comment on the reasons behind the failure. The University had said it would help Agnew open the indie rock club at 40th and Market streets to provide alcohol-free programming for students in response to one of the central recommendations of the provost-appointed alcohol task force, Agnew said. Last Friday, Agnew received more than 1,400 e-mail testimonials from former concert patrons in a 12-hour period. The e-mails are being used to persuade the administration to reconsider its decision regarding the lease. -- Gilbert Stockson
