ABSTRACT
“It's Sally. I'm in.”. “It's Tim.I'm in.” The calls came in from advance members of GEO, the Graduate Employee's Organization at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. It was early one March morning in 2002. Sally and Tim, their names changed, were calling on their cell phones from men's and women's restrooms in the Swanlund Administration Building. It was just after 6 a.m. and the GEO was planning to take over the building. They had scouted the building over a period of weeks, never sending the same scout in twice. The doors to the building, it turned out, were unlocked about 6 a.m., but the security personnel did not arrive until an hour later, so there was a critical hour in which to place people in key positions.
