At 3:30 p.m., protesters and sympathizers outside the Business building sent up supplies to the students barricaded inside. According to 19-year-old Ignacio P., a protester who declined to give his last name, students inside the building were supplied with blankets, sweatshirts, sweatpants, tea, toothbrushes, toothpaste and phone chargers. The supplies were lifted to waiting occupiers via a rope and paint bucket. "They're going to need more essentials, more food, if they plan on staying tonight," Ignacio P. said. According to Ignacio P., the sweats were supplied because of rumors that the heating system in the Business building had been shut off. Mario Diaz, a custodial worker at SF State, announced to the crowd around 1:30 p.m. that the heat was being shut down. At present, university communications can neither confirm nor deny the status of the heater system in the Business building. Shortly after the resupply effort, three protesters appeared on the building's roof with a list of demands. The 31 demands, which the group posted on their blog, require no disciplinary action be taken against the occupiers, that the process of the cuts being made to different departments' budgets be made public and transparent and "that the university system be run by the students, faculty and staff. Not administrators." Read here for this morning's story.

The perfect punishment for these guys would be to have them failed from all of their classes and make them stay for another semester. Yes, there needs to be change and yes there should be student action and solidarity. But do not affect the little we do get with some stupid stunt. Students are already stressed and worried enough. Don't add to it cause you have this idea that taking over one building is going to get the changes that you want. aaron goodman said December 10, 2009 10:29 AM
Its the SFSU Foundation and Ucorp that are the cause, look back in the Xpress Thurs. Nov. 30th 2009 page 8,9,14 and you will see why the university is so expensive... they are "developers" now... Students should fight this all the way to the legislature, and corrigan's development projects office on the first floor of the admin. building.....
