The College Democrats @UCSD organized a day of action
Friday, including an anti-war rally, a march through
campus, a concert, a candle light vigil and a panel
discussion featuring Cindy Sheehan, an anti-war activist
whose son was killed in Iraq.
On Friday at around 1:30 p.m. about 60 anti-war protesters
carried signs and chanted slogans at the intersection
of La Jolla Village Drive and Villa La Jolla Drive.
Another group of about 30 staged a protest of the anti-war
rally on the other side of the intersection. They held
signs in support of U.S. troops and democracy in Iraq.
Cars honked as they drove by. The two groups occasionally
taunted one another, shouting above the din of traffic.
“Bring them home,” the anti-war protesters
shouted, referring to U.S. troops. “Then what?”
came the reply from the other side of the street.
Police officers closely watched both groups. |

Grand Prize at 2006 Research Expo
 Hong
Guan opens a wire mesh door to a computer server in
a UCSD engineering laboratory at 2 p.m., Feb. 23 and
watches lines form across the monitor, including a
few that jiggle up and down. The lines register the
output of sensors attached to a highway bridge about

that bridge at 90 miles an hour and if you’re
standing under it when that happens it sounds like
you’re inside a giant percussion instrument,”
said Guan, a doctoral. candidate in structural engineering.

A Cloud Across the Pacific: Essays on the Clash Between Chinese and Western Political Theories Today
Thomas A Metzger
This book uncovers the basic contradictions between contemporary China's complex ideological marketplace and Western liberalism. It describes and puts into critical context three versions of Western liberalism (those of F. A. Hayek, John Rawls, and John Dunn), three versions of Chinese liberalism (those of Yang Kuo-shu, Li Qiang, and Ambrose Y.C. King), two versions of modern Confucian humanism (those of T'ang Ch, n-i, and Henry K.H. Woo), and various versions of Chinese Marxism, including Kao Li-k'o's in the early 1990s and some of the recent New Left writings.
