<p>Students at Berkeley today took over Sather Gate which is a main entrance to Sproul Plaza at the heart of the campus. They climbed on top and draped tarps and sheets to block the entrance. Chanting students are everywhere and fire alarms are being pulled in several buildings. In the one class DD had today the teacher wore a shirt that said “teaching in protest” and a student burst into the classroom chanting something akin to “protest today, go to class tomorrow,” until he saw the teacher’s shirt and then he left.</p>
<p>DD is frustrated by the cancellation and disruption of classes, feeling that the cut backs have limited education enough and the disruptions only make a bad situation worse. She says everyone supports the ideology behind the protests but many are sick of the tactics.</p>
