Remember back in the 60s when students at UC-Berkeley would occupy a
campus building for a sit-in in protest to the Vietnam War or Nixon or . .

UC protesters arrested, released

Berkeley, Calif. – The occupation of a campus building at the University
of California, Berkeley, in a protest over fee hikes and budget cuts ended
peacefully Friday.

UC Berkeley spokeswoman Claire Holmes said 41 demonstrators who had
barricaded themselves inside Wheeler Hall were arrested on suspicion of
trespassing around 5 p.m. Friday. The group was cited and released a
little more than two hours later.

The demonstrators had occupied the building on Friday morning to protest a
32 percent increase in student fees and job and program cuts.

Perhaps UI can take this action by UC-Berkeley students as a suggestion. 
I would be more than willing to participate.

One suggestion, though:  Could you make it a building with good heating. 
I am approaching 60, you know.

It'll be fun.  I'll order out for pizza.  I've got some old protest songs
we can sing.  Heck.  I'll even bring some copies of UI's . . .
