13 Arrested at Protest against University of California Tuition Hike
--------------------------------------------------------------------



At least 13 people have been arrested in San Francisco at a protest
against another tuition hike at University of California schools. On
Wednesday, protesters gathered outside a meeting where UC Regents are
considering a proposal to raise average tuition eight percent, or over
$800. The Regents approved a 32 percent tuition hike one year ago. One
police officer pulled a gun on the protesters, while others used pepper
spray to disperse the crowd. The Regents are set to vote on the tuition
hike today.
