Over 30 University of Wisconsin-Mil­ waukee students assembled in the Union Concourse Thursday to protest what they said were unfair financial policies at UWM. Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) spoke out against UWM's budget policies, which according to the protes­ tors are driving students further and further into debt. The protest, which be­ gan small, but gradually grew into a size­ able crowd, could be heard throughout the concourse.

"What do we got? Taxation. What do we want? Representation." - Chant yelled by protest members

The students chanted, "What do we got? Taxation. What do we want? Repre­ sentation." and, "Get your hand out of my pockets." Students took turns speak­ ing in front of the group.
