Striving to pin-thin echelons for a good cause, a smattering of UC Berkeley students are staging a hunger strike on campus. Why? Well, because of the Arizona immigration bill that passed last week. The Daily Cal reports: "More than 100 supporters have gathered around tents in front of the building, carrying signs reading 'Hungry for Justice' and 'Down with SB 1070.'"

The protesters plan on camping out in front of Wheeler Hall "for up to a week or until UC Berkeley Chancellor Robert Birgeneau and other officials respond to their demands."

And those demands? Are for UC officials to denounce Arizona. Sounds reasonable, right? But wait, there's more:

The strikers also demanded that campus administrators drop all student conduct charges against activists, implement a "democratic, student-led" process for examining the code of student conduct, accept responsibility for clashes between demonstrators and police during the Nov. 20 Wheeler Hall occupation, end layoffs of low-wage employees and rehire already laid-off union workers.

Stay strong, future of America. It's going to be a long, hungry week.
