UUU Ullli V CWCOME miiiiiiiiii; mill iiuilii i ' itiiii;i;i kiiiiii[| uiii; On a cool Sept. morning hundreds of students and faculty from across the state gathered at the Leon County Civic Center for a common cause. Phrases were chanted, signs made and opinions voiced. This day was a landmark as those actively involved and concerned about their educational system took a stand and walked to the Capitol to protest the projected budget cuts. The march started at the Civic Center at 8 a.m. The march was led by student government president Brian Philpot and student senate president Jennifer Tankersley. Megaphones were used to help encourage and inspire students as they made their way to the Capitol.

Elyse McMullen said. In fact, some faculty were let go or decided to leave on their own. Many students voiced their concern and thought it was a shame that Florida State, now an established and highly regarded academic university, would have to face budget cuts that could turn the school into an institution not renowned for it ' s academic programs. Although the government seemed like the enemy, they really were looking for what was best for the state and for everyone. ' With the recession, you hear ' cut, cut, cut ' all the time.
