About 70 students who had been occupying an administrative building at the University of California at Santa Cruz since Thursday afternoon to protest a 32-percent tuition increase left the building this morning, but accounts differed on how the protest ended. The university reported that the students had left voluntarily following a demand from the campus police. Witnesses told the Santa Cruz Sentinel, however, that officers in riot gear had moved in and used their batons to forcibly push the students out. One faculty member who was observing the scene was injured after falling over a railing. No arrests were reported.
