University of California campuses protest cuts, fee hikes

(MCT)

Sep. 30–FROM DAVIS TO SAN DIEGO — and on eight campuses in between — the University of California erupted Thursday in protests, pickets, walkouts and teach-ins. About 7,000 people participated in rallies that were generally peaceful and resulted in no arrests.

Most of them were at UC Berkeley, where 5,000 protesters gathered on Sproul Plaza in what a campus spokesman described as “an unprecedented turnout for an unprecedented problem.” A few hundred rallied at UC Davis, then marched across campus singing, chanting and playing drums and guitars.
