endless water

the sprinklers have been on full-blast in front of the ashe building since last night. looks like the administration, having abandoned the idea that the peaceful student demonstrators might be "dangerous" (no marked police cars were in sight when we last visited), has decided that the best way to get rid of them was to give them pneumonia. whether this makes sense to you or not, we suggest you call the Dept of Environmental Resources Management at 305 372 6955 to complain about the tremendous waste of water at the end of a very dry winter.

here are some pictures from swamp city:

the students brought flowers for the admission office staff to apologize for disrupting their work. the staff refused to accept them, claiming that they needed to remain neutral. here's a reminder to the staff of their rightsas guaranteed by federal law.

If you call the Dept of Environmental Resources Management at 305 372 6955, you can either leave your name and number or else remain anonymous.

When I called, they seemed surprised to hear about this waste of water, and it sounds like they will really look into this.

I guess it's better than the hosing done in the 1960s. Kind of adds a nice Coral Gables touch to dispersing protestors.

Since when do you care about federal law? Remember - that's what you're protesting AGAINST.

Hmmm... maybe the lack of food has caused you a little more damage than expected... THINK before you STAND.
