Military recruiters disrupted

Issue 

MELBOURNE — On March 28, 20 students disrupted military and ASIO recruiters at the Careers Expo at Melbourne University with eggs and paint bombs. Students made the point that the university should be a place to learn how to live, not how to kill. They chanted "Troops off campus, troops out of Iraq!" forcing campus security officers to close off the building.
