With pink and white blossoms popping out all over, it’s hard to believe that the rest of the country is blanketed in snow. Enjoy this taste of spring!

These pretty watermelon radishes, an unusually peppy root vegetable with their hot pink core, are in farmer’s markets now. Bring one home to add a splash of color to your next salad.

I hope you’ve been able to get out and enjoy the warm, clear days we’ve had recently. Apparently the rain returns tomorrow….
College of Natural Resources graduation
The Berkeley Graduate extends hearty congratulations to all of the 2010 graduates. And to those who will be here a little while longer, we wish you a summer that is either productive or restful or both.
Despite the cool temperatures and intermittent rain, spring is on its way.
Happy Thanksgiving! The Berkeley Graduate hopes that you have much to be thankful for this year.
Student protesters barricaded themselves inside Wheeler Hall at 6 am this morning. They have been joined by an energetic group of supporters who are rallying outside the building. Those inside and outside Wheeler are united in opposition to the fee hikes approved yesterday and in their concern for the future of public education in California. While UC Police have cordoned off the building and are attempting to break in, as of this writing, the students remain in control of Wheeler and are still inside.

At several UC campuses, students, faculty, and staff are protesting the proposed 32% student fee increases. Tomorrow the UC regents are expected to vote to raise the price of an undergraduate education at a UC school to $10,302 per year. On Berkeley’s campus, the main event today was a noontime rally on Sproul Plaza. Demonstrations and educational activities will continue Thursday and Friday.
