      On
      the
      morning
      of
      Feb.
      8,
      I
      was
      both
      amazed
      and
      appalled
      by
      what
      met
      me
      at
      the
      Belvedere
      Avenue
      enterance
      to
      the
     
     
      university
      --
      an
      angry
      bunch
      of
      Marriot
      employee
      protesters
      using
      physical
      force
      to
      keep
      any
      vehicle
      from
      entering
      or
      exiting
     
     
      the
      campus.
      Might
      I
      ask
      why?
      I
      cannot
      see
      that
      we
      students
      are
      to
      blame
      for
      the
      pitiful
      low
      wages
      paid
      to
      Marriot
      employees.
     
     
      When
      students
      are
      paying
      upwards
      of
      $3000
      per
      year
      to
      attend
      this
      institution
      PLUS
      another
      $50
      in
      parking
      fees,
      we
      SHOULD
     
     
      NOT
      be
      barred
      from
      entering
      the
      parking
      lot
      for
      any
      reason.
      I’m
      sorry,
      but
      after
      that
      ridiculous
      display,
