First?
Uh oh:
The group Students Organizing for Justice in the Americas held its first nude protest of the year, attracting a large audience of students, community members and local media observers.
Emphasis mine. What I would've liked to see is for it to have been raining during the protest. Then we'd have a chance to see whether these people who are trying to rescue people from employment are willing to experience mild discomfort in their efforts.
"(UC Berkeley) has the position to take a stand to change this atrocity," said senior Nina Rizzo, one of the protest organizers. "They need to take this issue more seriously and stop praising themselves for what they have done and realize they can take further action to stop this."
More unintentional irony. I think those opposed to poor people having jobs should take the issue more seriously and stop praising themselves for what they have done, too.
"I can't sleep for a week," said freshman Ricky Vides, who stopped to watch the protest on his way to class. "It's disturbing, but this will be something that I'll never forget for the rest of my life."
You might want to get that checked out. What is it with this campus and insomnia?
