Louisiana College students protest proposed cuts - Associated Press

The dozen baskets of plastic eggs dropped off at the governor's office weren't to celebrate a happy Easter holiday. Instead, the college students that delivered them Friday said it was a form of protest. The students say the eggs are a symbol of their disappointment with Gov. Bobby Jindal for agreeing to spend $50 million to keep open a chicken plant in north Louisiana while proposing $219 million in cuts to public colleges next year.
