To Protest New Stadium, Students Vow to Live in Oak Trees

December 06, 2006 11:37 AM ET | Permanent Link

Today will be the fifth day that activists live in oak trees surrounding the site of a stadium to be built on UC-Berkeley's campus, the Daily Californian reports. The activists, including one recent Berkeley alum, told the Californian that they'll stay in the trees despite a statement yesterday from the California Board of Regents vowing to support the new center. Kingman Lim, the recent alum who's been sitting in the oak trees, said the experience was "fine, if a little cold."
