[OT: Live look-in at campus protesters]

I've heard the same. Lots of kids have emailed or called DPS, the office of the president, etc and received either scripted responses or no response at all and they're tired of it. Their idea is that they aren't being heard so they can "protest" just like the rest of the people

I've heard from more than one student that once mid-terms are over, there will be a visible student response to the protestors - possibly including mob resistance to those at the clock tower, making it clear that they are taking 'their' campus back. If university administration won't take care of the problem, they will. I know there is a petition underway, indicating to Pestello that the students, although understanding of the position of the demonstrators and supportive of the groups 'weekend' event last week to facilitate open dialogue, no one should be allowed to spend the night/camp out on the grounds of the university - especially those with no credentials to be on campus. SLU will not be getting the kind of press we all want, and it will be squarely on Pestello's shoulders should things turn ugly.

I think half of the 'demonstrators' are homeless that stand at the Grand exit off of 44 - there, law enforcement runs them off...at SLU they can lay on the ground without being bothered.
