DESCRIPTION:12/15 Tuesday; 7PM; Old City Hall (2134 MLK)\n\nDuring this weeks open 
 meeting, the city council will take a vote on supporting Leland Yee's 
 proposed legislation to democratize the regents.  There will also be a vote 
 on demanding that Memorial Stadium not be salvaged, as to do so will 
 violate the Alquist-Priolo Earthquake zoning act.  \n\nPublic forums such 
 as the open city council meetings are an important settings for debate, 
 resource gathering, and social change.  Between the student protesters and 
 non-student activists, this Tuesday's city council meeting should be packed 
 to the brim.  It should be a scene of a mass protest; however the students 
 protesters have unwisely chosen not to enter dialogue with Berkeley City 
 Council. \n\nThe city's police attack the protesters, the students do not 
 talk to city council.\n\nThe city is having a vote on supporting the 
 protesters demands, and the students still will not talk to city 
 council.\n\nThis week's city council meeting could be the nexus for larger 
 support, not just from city council members but from the general public.  A 
 lawsuit supported by the city could end the financial blackhole that is 
 Memorial Stadium. Greater support for SCA-21 could help pass legislation 
 which democratizes the UC.  Members Anderson, Worthington and Arreguin are 
 strong supporters of social change.\n\nBut... the protesters have refused 
 to enter dialogue with City Council.\n\nAs a non-student activist against 
 the UC, I see a large divide between the students enclosed world, and the 
 greater community of Berkeley (and the Bay Area in general).  The students 
 should not keep pretending that the public outside their peer-group does 
 not exist, and that city council does not exist.\n\nA protest inside a 
 bubble is only going to burst.  Students, homeless people, workers, 
 homeowners, et cetera all have a common goal.\n
