You're right, I think, Pall. The memo, to "ALL STUDENTS,
FACULTY, STAFF AND INTERESTED PARTIES" , which is reproduced in a rather good
book called 'Recording Conceptual Art' is the form the piece took
in the May 19th - June 19th 1969 exhibition at Simon Fraser University
Gallery Vancouver...

Do you know what college it was that he was working at. The only college I
remember weiner having any affiliation with was the minneapolis academy of art
and design. Which was quite late in his career. I think his daughter was a
student there but I may be wrong.
