The Campaign for Free Education called a lecture boycott for today.

The CFE called a boycott of lectures and held a march around campus. About 300 students marched around the campus. A letter was then handed into the College President Art Cosgrove. The president supports the re-introduction of fees, the letter asked for him to withdraw his comments.

After the march there was a mass meeting. At the meeting differences emerged about the CFE and future actions. However it was agreed that action would be taken around the time of the Budget, which is due on 4 December.

It is time that the USI escalate their campaign aganst fees to more than just the token publicity stunt. It's time that the USI organise mass militant action of students around the country.
