UI has joined the WRC — a non-profit group with the intent of monitoring the working condi tions in factories that produce university-licensed apparel — but students at the Iowa City cam pus want the administration to re nounce the Fair Labor Associa tion. Groups such as Students Against Sweatshops, the UI or ganization that has led the charge, say they don’t like the FLA because it receives funds from clothing manufacturers such as Nike, Eddie Bauer and Reebok. Zak said student protests, which have been going on since the beginning of the year, have “really been heated since Mon day.” There have been no arrests related to the protests at the 28,846-student university.

So you dont have to. Students in Ann Arbor, Mich, claim the University of Michigan was “one of the first schools to have a mass prostest” about the WRC, said Michael Grass, news editor for the Michigan Daily. (( Compared with other schools, our protests have been relatively peaceful. Michael Grass news editor, Michigan Daily In March of 1999, 30 students stormed the office of University President Lee Bollinger and oc cupied it for 51 hours. Michi gan’s administration released a “code of ethics” as a result of the students’ actions. In more recent action at Michi gan, which, like Oregon, is one of 11 “Nike schools,” students staged a three-day sit-in protest at the dean’s office during the first week of February. Michigan has signed on to the WRC. “Compared with other schools, our protests have been relatively peaceful,” Grass said. Matt Clark, the student body president-elect at University of Minnesota, said the WRC protests at his school were also relatively smooth. “The popular opinion was to sign on to the WRC,” he said. After protests at that campus two weeks ago, the University’s president “listened to the stu dents and signed on,” Clark said. At the University of Wisconsin campus, a crowd of students was prevented from occupying a chancellor’s office by campus po lice who used pepper spray. The late February incident was one of the most violent protests associ ated with the WRC this year. Wisconsin has since signed on with the WRC. Emerald reporter Emily Gust con tributed to this article. Protesters continued from page 1 before and I wasn’t allowed. ” Matt Dyste, whose Johnson Hall office window faces the oc cupiers’ snack section, said the protesters are not a bother to him. “I think they have a cause they believe in, and I admire that,” he said. Adam Blair, a senior majoring in sociology, said the occupying tactic is one that has worked in other social movements. “It’s really powerful,” he said. Blair plans to camp as long as the protest continues and the experi ence has been empowering. “The discussions have been amazing,” he said. Nick Larson, however, said he does not blame Frohnmayer for not signing because of the tactics protesters are using. “It doesn’t seem effective to me,” said Larson, a senior major ing in political science. “The is sues involving workers’ rights should be left to the company it self and not to outsiders. Unless they are major stockholders in the company, they should keep to themselves.” Pat Fields, a sophomore major ing in political science, also dis agrees with the tactic. “I think it could be done bet ter,” he said. Fields said students should ap proach the situation more profes sionally to get better results. University executive assistant president Dave Hubin said there is a feeling within the administration that the students are highlighting an issue that is important to all. “I don’t sense any tension,” he said. “The students have been re spectful.” Whether all students agree with the tactics, the protesters plan to stay at Johnson Hall until Frohnmayer signs on with the WRC. Meanwhile, campers expect the colony of tents, which they are calling the “occupation zone,” to grow.
