Show Utah Chronicle 2 -- The Daily Friday, February 26, 1999 Campus TTtv N BRIEF News Editor, Laura Hancock: laura.hancockchronicle.utah.edu Assistant News Editor, Dave Hancock: davechronicle.utah.edu Nation Berkeley Students Protest in Support ofAffirmative Action University of California at Berkeley student groups joined students from more than 22 colleges and universities across the nation Feb. 24 to protest in defense of affirmative action. In conjunction with the National Day of Action to Defend Affirmative Action, a rally and teach-i- n were held on the UC- - Berkeley campus yesterday, involving students from a number of Bay Area high schools. In addition, a march was conducted shortly after the rally, where protesters, escorted by eight members of the UC Police Department, marched across campus chanting, "Rescgrcgation, Hell No, 209 Has Got to Go!" As protesters ncarcd California Hall, where Chancellor Robert Bcrdahl's office is located, four police officers providing additional security stationed themselves in cross-camp- front of the entrance. One of the officers said that they "didn't expect violence, it was just a precaution." The teach-in- , held in Pauley Ballroom, included speeches by Alex Saragoza, a UC Berkeley professor of ethnic studies, and Anna Maria Loya, executive director for La Raza Ccntro Legal. Saragoza emphasized not only affirmative action issues, but also "broader issues of inequality." Discrepancies between suburban and inner-cit- y public schools limit students' access to higher education because many inner- - city students never even graduate, Saragoza said. "The saddest story is the college applications we don't see," said Saragoza, referring to students who "slip through the cracks."
