ANARCHIST LIBRARY - FIVE YEARS OF ANARCHY AT CITY COLLEGE OF SAN FRANCISCO

by sea
That’s right, five years and we’re still in trouble. But as usual we say screw it, don’t compromise and fuck their bureaucracy! Last year we picked a fight with the cops the socialists the student bureaucracy and refused to pay the DPW any cash for our flier fines. As a result we were kicked out of our office/info shop, denied funding, and saw our fines with DPW go higher and higher. Also the Police Club was given our space along with the International Socialist Organization, which actually refused to take it because as they said " we fear that if we move into that office the anarchists will destroy all our stuff".

Also the Police Club was given our space along with the International Socialist Organization, which actually refused to take it because as they said " we fear that if we move into that office the anarchists will destroy all our stuff".

In the end student groups got our back and we have since returned to our space under new conditions from the bureaucrats that we must keep our space locked up when we are not in attendance. So rather than removing the door we have chose to instead occupy the space in front of our office with book racks for easy check out. It actually is a better space to be in, much more visible and all so much against school guidelines. So, if you ever need a book or pamphlet just come by between 8 and 5 PM on a weekday. We are in the MLK bottom floor Student Union main campus. There is no check out system, take what you need and donate if you can. We just dumped $400 worth of new material into the racks so hopefully there is a little something for everyone.

In other news we are proud to announce the near completion of our biodiesel hot rod. This is a project that we have been working on for the last year and a half ever since we told the old Anarchist Library folks to fuck off as well as most of dorky middle class hipster anarchists parading around the Mission. Sometimes you have to burn all your bridges to get the job done. As a result we have done something quite unique in that we have taken a 1974 El Camino Super Sport ripped the gas engine out and replaced it with a 6.2 GMC diesel engine. It is currently running off the schools cafeteria waste grease and will soon be equipped with a twin turbos and nitrous injection. We hope to have it on the tracks this summer with at least a 14 second on the 1/4 mile.

This project has gained much fanfare amongst students and auto shop teachers in the garage as well as respect as we have a solid work ethic and hate the cops on that campus and the bureaucrats almost as much as the instructors. The project is being threatened to be put to a halt on that campus as we have managed to scare the Evans campus dean as she fears mutiny from the shop floor. More on that to come.

Any folks interested in helping out with biodiesel project are encouraged to come to our first of the semester meeting in which we will be accepting new members. We really don’t have too many meetings or even talk that much so if your one of those types that likes having lots of meetings or expressing your brilliant mind all the time then this probably wont be the setting for you. If you hate paying for gas but have to drive, as well as hate the bosses and love speed then this may be the perfect project for you.
First meeting at City College of San Francisco Evans Campus at Evans/Mandell in the Student Lounge at 12:30

To Hell With The Bureaucrats
