<\/a>It hasn’t reached the level of the campus peace movement during the 1960s, but students at more than a dozen colleges from San Francisco State University to Columbia University in New York will stage strikes and rallies Thursday to protest the war in Iraq. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>The anti-war demonstrations come as President Bush prepares to send more troops to Iraq and are timed to coincide with the fourth anniversary of the massive protests staged in the weeks before Operation Iraqi Freedom began on March 20, 2003.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Me and my roommate were hearing all these stories about the war, and we said we can’t just sit around anymore. We really need to bring it back to the protests of the ’60s,” said Alysha Higgins, 19, a freshman at UC Berkeley, where a rally is planned on Sproul Plaza at noon. <\/span>“We just need to target this war and start this movement.”\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/span>The national effort came after students at Columbia heard of plans by anti-war activists at UC Santa Barbara to stage a strike against the war on Thursday and decided to have their own. From there, a national campaign was launched with the help of the World Can’t Wait, a political group that opposes the Bush presidency and urges resistance to his policies.<\/span><\/p>\n
