Sounds like Unitarian Universalist University :) They've bailed us out  
twice in the past, why not buddy up with them once again :) I've  
always considered Antioch the UU equivalent to Earlham. There was even  
a scholarship advertised in the UU World magazine for a while for  
Unitarians who wanted attend Antioch or Harvard. As a UU I took notice  
of the # of UU Chalice symbols I'd see on necklaces, t-shirts and  
tattoos even.. there's alot of us. Would be interesting to do research  
to find out how deep this connection runs.. would be a great place to  
recruit, can we sponsor YRUU Conferences? :) Ferry Beach? Star Island?  
Rowe Camp?
