Hippies Make the Best Bureaucrats: The Realities of Recruiting at UCSC The Project
March 2006
page 8
Counter-Recruitment is one of the best tools of the anti-war movement. Around the country, activists are engaging in providing alternative information to potential recruits, and engaging in protests and civil disobedience to stop recruitment.
At UCSC, military recruiters only come around during the schools’ two annual career fairs. At the past two, students have prevented recruitment: last spring by surrounding the fair en masse and demanding that the...

EaT MY RUBBER MoTHAFUCKA! The Project
March 2006
page 11
About a year ago, I was riding down High St on my bike. It had been a standard day at work and I was eager to get home when I spotted the big yellow Hummer barreling towards me. My stomach turned – I’d seen this miserable oil-sucking bastard before and had always wanted to give him a piece of my mind. Well, here was my chance, I could yell something like “Bourgeois fascist pig!” or “Eco-Terrorist!” which at 30 mph would sound like “BOO-FACO-IIG!!!” My other...

Civil War? Sectarian Tension and Occupation in Iraq The Project
March 2006
page 10
Word on the street is that Iraq is headed toward civil war. Every day we hear about it from the mainstream media, telling us that the sectarian tensions between Sunni and Shia Muslims are turning bloodier and bloodier by the day. Fears jumped when the Al Askari Mosque in Samarra, a Shia holy site, was bombed on February 24th and reprisals began against Sunnis. Over 50 Sunni mosques were damaged and three Imams (religious leaders) were killed following the ...

The Struggle Continues: UCSC Custodians Demand Wage Parity The Project

Worker exploitation at the foundation of western capitalism has never gone unchecked. From slave ship mutiny, to the implementation of the weekend and child labor laws won by early labor unions, to the victory of AFSCME workers for a better contract from the UC last April, labor has always found new ways to influence the decision-making bodies that impede their progress towards fair, safe, and dignified employment. Even in the wake of major social victorie...
