Hundreds rallying at UCLA against privatization (and USC)

WESTWOOD, CA – After a day of teach outs and a march, hundreds of UCLA students are rallying around Bruin Bear with chants of “No cuts, no fees, education should be free” and a modified UCLA 8-Clap ending in “UCLA OCCUPY!”  A box built around the Bear to protect it from vandalism by rival school USC, who UCLA is playing in football this week, was covered with banners and slogans about public education.  There are also 2 tents on top, and more tents around Bruin Plaza, as students are planning to camp again tonight, the first time since police raided Occupy UCLA on Friday morning and arrested 14 students.
