Students in tuition hike protest expect police intervention soon - CNN.com:

"Los Angeles, California (CNN) -- Students occupying an administration building at the University of California, Santa Cruz, for the past three nights expect police to soon begin forcibly removing them, a student spokesman said.

There's 'no chance' the protesters occupying Kerr Hall since Thursday will give up, according to graduate student Don Kingsbury.

Angry students took over the building after the regents board approved a 32 percent increase in tuition Thursday.

The occupation at UC Santa Cruz is one of several demonstrations across University of California campuses in the past week."
