CSUMB students gear up for statewide march against budget cuts

There was fun to be had today at CSUMB when the clubs spread out their tables and information on the great lawn, and talked about all that's fun happening on campus.

There was the Asian Pacific Islander Association -- cheerfully represented by Ryan Johnson, business major, and Jeffrey Park, kinesiology major. Then there was Johna Sneider, modeling the outdoor gear you'd probably need if you joined the outdoor adventure club.

But there was some serious business too. A box with petitions to Gov. Jerry Brown is making the CSU rounds, and students had a chance to write their personal stories. Dubbed "The Buck Starts Here," students write their stories on facsimile copies of $750 million dollar bills with the photo of Brown on them. They will be delivered to the guv when a statewide march reaches Sacramento on March 5. A rehearsal march is being planned on campus for March 1.
