The usual suspects are planning a long list of May Day stuff at Berkeley. Schedule:

7am Welcome Center opens on Sproul Plaza. Come by any time during the day to find out where everything is going on, get the latest updates, and have some coffee.

12 noon - 1 pm Converge on Sproul Plaza for mass demonstration.

5 pm Final convergence on Sproul Plaza. Demonstrate in front of Sproul Hall, then take it to the streets! Form a contingent and march together.

ALL DAY LONG Actions will be taking place throughout the day all over campus. Organize your own action and participate in others'.

This looks like an attempt to emulate the SF protests. Small groups roaming and protesting, no centralized command, with occasional reconvergences, and a not-minimal level of violence. That'll teach 'em to raise our student fees!

The attempt to marry the traditional 'list of demands' to a decentralized group of troublemakers is a new thing.

1) No student fee hikes,
2) Fair contracts and living wages for university workers, and
3) No University compliance with racist and xenophobic targetings on non-U.S. citizens.
