8 Arrested in Protest at Berkeley Chancellor's Home (AP) - Eight people were arrested Saturday after protesters broke windows, lights and planters outside the home of the chancellor of the University of California, Berkeley. A university spokesman, Dan Mogulof, said 40 to 70 protesters also threw incendiary devices at police cars and the home of the chancellor, Robert J. Birgeneau, on Friday night. There were no fires or injuries. The protest at the chancellor's home came late the same day that police officers arrested 66 protesters at a campus classroom building that was partly taken over for four days. The protesters are demonstrating against state financing cuts that have led to course cutbacks, faculty furloughs and sharp fee increases. "The attack at our home was extraordinarily frightening and violent," Mr. Birgeneau said in a statement issued through the university. My wife and I genuinely feared for our lives. The eight were arrested on suspicion of rioting, threatening an education official, attempted burglary, attempted arson of an occupied building, felony vandalism and assault with a deadly weapon on a police officer. They include two Berkeley students and one from the University of California, Davis, Mr. Mogulof said. Their ages ranged from 20 to 41, and at least three were women. "This is what it looks like when a student group gets hijacked by an extreme and violent element in its ranks," Mr. Mogulof said. At least two windows were broken at the home. Mr. Birgeneau was in his living room, but he did not speak to reporters. The two episodes are the latest in a series of demonstrations in which students have taken over buildings at California State University and University of California campuses to protest campus cuts and rising fees. The president of the University of California system, Mark G. Yudof, in a statement, called the latest attack "appalling" and "far beyond the boundaries of public dissent." The University of California system, with about 220,000 students, raised student fees 15 percent since January and plans another 15 percent increase. The California State University system, the nation's largest with 450,000 students, and the community college system also raised fees.
