 On Saturday, October 5th the Progressive Student Alliance participated in a march around the Cherry Hill Mall against the looming specter of war with Iraq.  The PSA, a left wing student group working for social justice, and approximately 100 other citizens held signs and chanted slogans denouncing Bush's attempt to lead this country to  war.
 Marchers began assembling at noon on the grass buffering the mall's parking lot and Route 38 West. For approximately forty-five minutes, they reveled in each other's company and displayed large banners and signs conveying the sentiments motivating the event: "No War on Iraq!" "Money for Healthcare, Not for War!" and "Drop Bush, Not Bombs!"
 At 1 pm, the march began to circumnavigate the mall. It began by moving north on Cherry Hill Mall Drive, eventually making its way to Church Road. From there, they marched west toward Haddonfield Road, which led them back to Route 38 West, completing the circuit.
 "One, two, three, four!  We don't want your oil war!" protesters chanted as a number of motorists driving along the march route slowed to shout rabid, incomprehensible phrases laced with obscenities at them. Undoubtedly, the credibility of their statements was reinforced by the prominent display of the middle finger.  However, frequent honking, waving, and other signs of support for the anti-war position heartened the marchers and demonstrated that there is considerable opposition among the public to the administration's push to war.
 Khaled Amer, professor of mathematics at Rowan University and march participant, summed up the opinions of those participating in the day's events:  "Saddam Hussein is evil - there's no argument there - but you don't win hearts and minds for democracy by dropping bombs on people.  The Iraqi people have suffered enough."
