Police Pepper-Spray California Students Protesting Two-Tiered Tuition 
----------------------------------------------------------------------



In news from California, about 100 students took part in protests at
Santa Monica College Tuesday against the school's plan to implement a
two-tiered tuition system that will offer some core courses at a higher
cost. Police responded with pepper-spray after dozens of students began
chanting during the college's Board of Trustees meeting. At least two
students were taken to a hospital after the pepper-spraying.
