DESCRIPTION:Friday, November 20\n4 p.m.\nCSUF students will takeover the library to 
 protest budget cutbacks.  Here is what an email from participating students 
 said:\n\nThe library closes on Fridays at 5PM and it is closed all day on 
 Saturdays which leaves students with no place to study on Friday nights or 
 all day on Saturdays. We see this as merely part of a much bigger problem 
 at our University, but nevertheless it is a big problem because we paid for 
 the library and we are being limited to accessing it. On friday the 20th, 
 students are gathering on the second floor of the library at 4-4:30 to 
 begin a study-in. As i said, the library close at 5, but we do not intend 
 on leaving and plan on engaging in a non-violent, peaceful demonstration to 
 "study-in" for the night. We are part of a statewide movement of students 
 that are working to bring about a more democratic University and save it 
 from the inevitable future that privatization of  education brings: an 
 education system only available to elites which leaves lower, working  and 
 middle class people excluded. The "Master Plan" of 1960, which said 
 education should  be free to all California students is being washed away 
 by privatization. The week of Nov 15-20 is a week of action known as 
 International Education Week. I wanted to inform you of this because i know 
 that you have been active in the Fresno community for years and have been 
 very successful at organizing around social justice issues here in Fresno. 
 We as students need support from our community and community leaders. We 
 hope that you will support us any way that you can. We would love to have 
 supporters outside, or inside, so the administration knows that we are not 
 alone and that they cannot silence us. If at all possible, please send this 
 info to any other community members/organizers that you are in contact with 
 because we need all the support we can get.\n\n
