Oct 7th Day of Action

by Tangle
Students, workers, & faculty gather in solidarity to defend public education. My day began in the morning with a faculty-led teach out at CA Hall, followed by a large rally at Sproul and ending with a 600-person sit in at Doe Library.

At the teach out I learned that, out of the hundreds of choices UCB previously had for engineering students to choose from to fulfill the humanities requirement, they now have only 20 options. There was also talk of ethnic studies fields being condensed into a single major: As opposed to the Native American, Asian American, & Chicano/Latino Studies there is now a sole Ethnic Studies Major covering all racially marginalised groups in the US. Speaking of marginalised groups: someone brought up the fact that males are the ones depicted on posters of the student movement (for ex, the fist used on posters to represent the struggle).

The foot of the hall which houses financial aid was an appropriate place to hold the student action rally for affordable education!

So what was it that happened with the sit-in? I read people left at 6pm because the acoustics of the room were hard for communicating

I heard that the "leadership" called it off because the participants weren't ready for anything radical, mostly because their party is still in "base-building" mode.

As they said in May '68 in France: DON'T LET THE LOUDSPEAKER (or party hack) SPEAK FOR YOU!!!

People you need to know how to make The Peace Symbol. The one on the sidewalk is the hood ornament for Mercedes Cars.

If protesting means begging my government to change rather than forcing it to or overthrowing it, I want nothing to do with this. This isn't a real movement. It's a big joke. :-/
