The lawn in front of Mrak Hall will house more than just ducks and eggheads for the next few days - UC Davis students in disapproval of budget cuts, increased student fees and increased administration salary will be protesting until Friday at 6 p.m.

The Silent Action and Study Hall was organized by unaffiliated students who publicized the protest on Facebook. They will be camping out with homemade signs in front of Mrak Hall, where administrators‘ offices are located.

“It will be a silent action while we get ready for finals at the same time. Come before class, after class and in between classes to show the administration that we are not joking around. Bring your study materials, blankets, pillows, water and food,” the Facebook event stated.
