SANTA MONICA – April 28, 2005, After months of efforts to meet with the President of Santa Monica College to address the issue of military recruiters on campus, frustrated students and local community activists marched into the offices of the school district this Thursday.

After some time the president did emerge from his office to speak with the students. The exchange was not without substance and some points were addressed. At one point police did appear and were asked to wait outside by the president. There were no arrests. After about 15 to 20 minutes of discussion the students left peacefully.
