Access 2000 Coverage on CKCU 93.1




Access 2000 coverage on 93.1 CKCU Radio A week long look at 
Student Activism Every morning this week from 8:05 AM to 8:35 
AM CKCU radio will present Ottawa's most comprehensive look at 
Access 2000, the national student protest which takes place on 
campuses across Canada this week. Daily half hour programs look 
at the specifics of the campaign but also shed light on the broader 
issues that have culminated in an organized national student 
protest.  

The goal of Access 2000 is to draw national attention to student 
issues, and to encourage governments  to restore social 
programme funding; replace student loans with grants; and reduce 
tuition fees. Supporters of the campaign will gather in a major 
protest on Wednesday February 2 at noon on Parliament Hill.
