Forty-six senior citizens were arrested as an anti-apartheid protest entered its 27th day at the University of California, Berkeley, authorities said. The arrests, combined with two over the weekend, brought to 456 the number of people who have been arrested since the anti-apartheid demonstrations began on April 10, said Berkeley campus spokesman Ray Colvig. The senior citizens were cited and released after blocking the entrance of University Hall, the administrative building for the nine-campus UC system, UC spokesman Lilia Villanueva said. At Sproul Hall, about 100 people in sleeping bags camped on the steps in a peaceful protest.
