Radical Student Movement

from an announcement of a massive student-faculty protest against proposed changes to the use and configuration of a campus building.

Naturally, there is the typical organizing work to do: draft petitions, draw up demands, form committees—in that order. Hmmm. It would seem a lot more sensible to figure out what your demands are before you draft the petitions (hasn't always happened that way around here, believe it or not), but that may just be my atavistic logocentric, linear thinking at work. Or maybe those items were listed in random rather than chronological order.

Anyway: After that, there's . . . dancing:
"~organizing a samba parade, starting on the library lawn and ending at ASH at 4
pm on Tuesday, to raise awareness, share information, and distribute petitions"
