We would like to say thank you to all the students at the rally and Board of Trustees meeting on Friday("Students demonstrate against 'U' policies" SN 4/14). We are proud to stand with you.

These are not the same Spartans who participated in the "disturbances" last month. They are too tired to riot - they are too busy fighting to survive on this campus every day.

A diverse group of people standing together to bring a powerful voice to a diversity of issues will change this campus. Thank you for your courage, your support and your determination.
