According to the article, the activ- ists - who chanted "Education should be free - no cuts, no fees" - protested education budget cuts as well as inci- dents of racial discrimination that have allegedly occurred at multiple University of California campuses. UCLA spokesman Phil Hampton said in the article that university offi- ials have accepted a list of student demands but that no changes could be promised. "I think that, like students, UCLA campus leaders are concerned about the rising cost of education," Hampton said in the article. "We are committed ... to finding cost savings and preserv- ing the high quality of education."

MSU BANS USE OF LIVE ANIMALS IN VET SCHOOL TRAINING Michigan State University will stop using live animals when training stu- dents in its College of Veterinary Medi- cine to perform surgeries, The State News reported in an article published on March 4. MSU officials announced the ban last week and said the school will start using animal cadavers in the fall, according to the article. Currently, the college buys animals that are bred for scientific purposes. Dur- ing surgeries, the animals, mostly dogs, are placed under anesthesia and then euthanized. Bryden Stanley, an assistant professor of small animal clinical practices at MSU, told the State News that the school has been looking into ways to teach surgeries that don't involve live animals for a few years. He said the cadavers will provide the same learning experience as live ani- mals. "It will be skill-based, and they will have practiced so manytimes, when they do come to the live animal, they will be better prepared," Stanley said in the article. TEXAS UNIVERSITY GROUP TRADESPORNFORBIBLES Atheist Agenda, a student group at the University of Texas at San Antonio, led a drive to exchange pornography for religious texts, according to a March 2 article in the Paisano Online. In its "Smut for Smut" campaign on March 1, the group exchanged copies of Playboy and Penthouse magazines for Bibles, Torahs and Korans. According to the article, a group of Christian students protesting the cam- paign deterred students from participat- ing in the exchange. UTSA sophomore Cecilia Tapia was among the protesters who carried signs that said "Jesus Saves" and "Jesus loves the Atheist Agenda." "I'm here to make sure they know the word of God," Tapia said in the article. - STEPHANIE STEINBERG The Michigan Daily - michigandaily.com 420 Maynard St. Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1327 www.michigandaily.com JACOB SMILOVITZ DAN NEWMAN Edcitor is Chief Buscness Manager 734-647-3336 734-764-0558 smilovitz@michigandaily.com tmdbusiness@gmailcom CONTACT INFORMATION Newsroom office hours:Sun.-Thurs.117 a..-2a..
