I intended to be present at this and cover it as a story myself, but now have to do a program meeting. The occupation, the struggle to remove Kerrey et. al, and all te events surrounding it is one of the most important audience draws for WNSR so far. Our most listened-to programs have all be about the occupation (with the exception of Sex, Lies & Radiowaves for obvious reasons.)
New School in Exile is holding a teach-in at the courtyard tomorrow - we MUST get newscast audio not only from NSIE, but from the students who attend, how hey feel about the occupation, their interactions with NSIE, etc. Maybe someone who has no classes on Tuesday can cover both of these stories?

I know that Richard got coverage of it, and so did Will, i believe. Also, I was there for the beginning, the end, and the subsequent sojourn to NYU to support those kids.
One important thing when writing the story however: I think that some of the people who spoke and whose voices may have been recorded wish to stay anonymous. I think it is imperative that we as journalists, and in my case, as an activist-journalist, respect their wishes by not mentioning their names even if we happen to know them.
