Quote from an email I recieved a few days ago: "Colleagues, students, and friends: I am proud and excited to tell you that a partnership led by UC Berkeley has been selected to receive an unprecedented $500 million from global energy firm BP to lead the way in research to develop new, clean, renewable sources of energy. With this remarkable support, the work Berkeley will undertake will be transformative for our nation and, indeed, our planet." Can't pay my tuition my behind

.They should not have sent it to poli sci- history- English majors. It's just another blow to the already-crammed in-old-buildings-tought-by-old-professors-and-generally-deprived poor students that can't get decent scholarships to grad school. Damn science majors! But on a lighter note: Biodiesel, and no dead Iraqis. Woohoo

Just to put things in perspective

about half of that, or I guess closer to $300 million would cover the tuition of all berkeley students, graduate , undergraduate, extention, and probably some GSIs' salary for a full year.

Who needs a plannet when you have

tuition to worry about? Beside they can use the remaining $200 million
