Here's NVMojo's original thread:

I wrote to Peter and asked if his group could put up their materials somewhere, so if folks wanted to organize similar protests, they could use them.

Here was his reply this morning:

Beth

We are working on putting the materials online as you
suggested. There are pictures from the action and some of the training
materials we used there now at www.Squadron13.com

More materials will be added as we get time. Thanks again for your support.

SANTA CRUZ — UC Santa Cruz junior Jonathan Perez dressed in a suit and tie Tuesday, hoping to impress company recruiters at the campus job fair.

But more than 200 student anti-war protesters got there first, storming the Stevenson Event Center, shouting and banging on windows and demanding that military recruiters in the corner of the room leave.

The noisy sit-in ended after an hour of chaos and tension when military representatives vacated their posts. Student protesters hugged each other happily after administrators allowed them to hand out information on alternatives to military careers and agreed to a meeting to discuss future job fairs.

Barbara Bedford, director of UCSC’s Career Center, said UCSC complies with a 1995 federal law called the Solomon amendment, which denies federal funding to universities that bar military recruiters from campus.
