Classes haven’t even started yet, and the Clog saw what we can only assume is the first protest of the year go through Upper Sproul Plaza and Sather Gate before disappearing into the rarely trodden north part of campus. We couldn’t make out much of the shouting, but it was probably about low wages, contracts, affirmative action or poverty.

Is there a possibility that the protest is related to the university-wide budget cuts? No. No there isn’t. But at least the freshmen got to see a piece of the “real” Berkeley. “Oh look! A protest! How Berkeley!”
